Heartwarming Moments, Funny Moments, Moment of Awesome, Awesome Music, Tear Jerker, and Nightmare Fuel subpages tend to attract low-quality and unillustrative images that don't evoke the emotions they should, even if the scenes are examples in context. While it is very easy to pull them, the Image Pickin' forum has trouble finding replacements most of the time, leaving most of these threads to close due to inactivity and take up room while doing so.
In order to free up slots, this thread is designed to handle moments subpages with a single bad image.
This thread is not for:
- Start a thread in the following cases
- Removing an image because you already have an alternative suggestion on hand
- Moments page images that are duplicated somewhere else
- Moments pages with multiple images
- Pages that are on Image Pickin' Special Cases (assuming their status allows it)
- Images that you personally don't find funny/sad/heartwarming/awesome/scary, or can't fully glean the context of, but still have some visual element of the Moment they're supposed to evoke (for example, a messy explosion might still be worth keeping on an Awesome/ page even if you don't understand what's exploding, because of Stuff Blowing Up). Remember that these are YMMV items.
- If the only problem is that it's low-quality, try the quality upgrade thread
first.
- If the problem is that the on-page examples are bad, please see the Moments cleanup thread and the specific Nightmare Fuel cleanup thread.
How it works
- First, have you Failed a Spot Check? Check the page source: maybe a previous thread has explained the reasoning for why it's on the page. You can also go to the Ask for Explanations thread for other opinions.
- Link the page with the image you want examined. Please explain why you think it is a bad image (e.g. JAFAAC, "more funny than scary"). Posts without such reasoning will not be entertained. (You can use the Image Pickin' thread guidelines for reasoning help.) If suggesting multiple pages in a single post, please put them in a bulleted list to ensure that each entry can stand on its own and that they won't be missed when the crowner is made.
- Similar to the Image Suggestion thread, a crowner will be run containing the proposed pulls. Each crowner will run about 15 items at a time and last for 5 days. Please do not add items to a crowner once it's running.
- After 24 hours, anything with 10 or up votes will be pulled.
- After 3 days, anything with 8 or up votes will be pulled.
- After 5 days, anything with a positive ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled.
- Pulled images will be tagged as such:
%%https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1642193091068711500
%%Please do not add a new image without going through the Image Suggestion thread or starting a new Image Pickin' thread
This does not count towards their thread count.
If you think of a replacement image after an image has been pulled, you can use the Image Suggestion thread or start a new thread for a replacement.
Kept images will be tagged as such:
%% Image kept on page via crowner in the Moments Images Cleanup Thread: [crowner link]
%% https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1642193091068711500
%% Please don't change or remove without starting a new thread.

Yeah, the Conjuring image is creepy.
Tim and Geoff Follin are now a red link, best to redact that option from the crowner.
I'd like to apologize for all this.

- NightmareFuel.Live Action TV: Oh my god! Blackface is so scary!. Seriously though, I don't get what's nightmarish about this, it's just someone with dark facepaint smiling.
- NightmareFuel.Pikmin: A plant. Just a plant with an eye. A bit off-putting but terrifying, really?
- NightmareFuel.Invasion Of The Body Snatchers 1978: JAFAAC, plus this looks narmy as hell without the screeching sound.
- NightmareFuel.Bionicle: Poor image quality and it's JAFAAC.
- NightmareFuel.The Visit: JAFAAC

It may be out of context and may work better as a video. Youtube clip for reference.

I'm not sure if moments are allowed to have videos actually, but... idk the shot looks kind of amusing but I can also see how it may not be funny to others.

I've meant that it's only funny if you know the build-up. I wasn't suggesting a video, but that's a good question I'll ask elsewhere. (Video Guidelines implies no)

I don't know the buildup and I think it's amusing.

- AwesomeMusic.Fire Emblem: Just a soundtrack image that shows nothing related to Music. (I thought that was removed)
- AwesomeMusic.Skies Of Arcadia: Just a soundtrack image that shows nothing related to Music.
- AwesomeMusic.John Williams: Just John Williams with several other characters, shows nothing related to Music.

This is found on NightmareFuel.Armored Core:
... without knowledge of the series, this looks nothing special. Vote to remove.
Edit: This post was not a suggestion, hence why I posted in this thread.

Hi
Or one of those bubble wrap-type toys that you can repeatedly pop and unpop. Not remotely scary out of context, regardless. ![[tdown]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thumbs_down_emote.png "[thumb down]"){kind=small}

Agreed, I fail to see how that is scary.

(x4) sorry but
This is the MICT.
- TearJerker.Mission Impossible Film Series is just a guy.
- TearJerker.Twenty Four is just a guy.
- NightmareFuel.Fear 1996 is also just a guy, and while I can at least see how the last two are sad in context, I don’t see what’s supposed to be scary about this.

Closing crowner because it's been 5 days. I don't feel like processing it right now though. I can get it between today and tomorrow if no one else does.

Regardless if it is a spoiler or not, I think it falls under JAFAAC
Oh, didn’t notice that, thanks!
I’ll change the Pull Summary to that. There’s plenty of images from the first season alone which would work as a replacement once the time comes.
So yeah, since you're new here: that's really all you need to do here. Just wait, and it'll eventually be put in a crowner.
Oh also, you forgot to add a link: NightmareFuel.NCIS

(she/her)
As a reminder, please keep your posts down to about 5-8 suggested pulls. Long lists makes it harder for us to add images properly and slows the thread because a big post of 10+ items can easily take up a whole crowner (we try to do about 15 images at a time).

I voted to keep Funny.Starfield because a mound of sandwiches is ridiculous-looking.
The Yggdrasil Cretin
Funny.Fist Of The North Star: the image doesn't convey what's funny out of context (Especially since the funniest part is the guy's voice when he dies)
Crown Description:
This crowner covers posts from here to here (inclusive) and may run for up to 5 days, depending on voting. Vote UP to pull an image; vote DOWN to keep it on the page.
- After 24 hours, anything with +10 or more and a ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled.
- After 3 days, anything with +8 or more and a ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled.
- After 5 days, any remaining items with a positive ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled, all items below the 2:1 ratio will be kept, and the crowner will be closed.
- If an item has a (CLOSED) note, there is no need to vote on it; the result has already been decided.

I also support to keep the Congo and Conjuring images
