Cleanup: Moments Images Thread (New crowner 23 October 2025):

Go To

HI! If an automated Image Pickin' thread-related PM for a page you are following sent you here, that means the image is being considered for removal. If you would like to vote for/against it, please familiarize yourself with the following guidelines then scroll down to the crowner.

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
    • Removing an image that was kept on the page by a previous Moments Images crowner.
    • 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 on Moments pages for unreleased works aren't permitted. If you see one, simply pull it, add the IP comment later in this post, and post in the thread to say it's been removed. It doesn't need discussion or a crowner.
  • 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. Per the admins, being below the 800px size guideline is not on its own a reason to pull an image.
  • 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

  1. First, have you Failed a Spot Check? Check the page source: is there an Image Pickin' comment? Maybe a previous thread has explained the reasoning for this image, or it's already been included in a previous Moments cleanup crowner. You can also go to the Ask for Explanations thread for other opinions.
  2. 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.
  3. 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 votes at +10 or more and a ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled.
    • After 3 days, anything with votes at +8 or more and a ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled.
    • After 5 days, all remaining crowner 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 a page gets its own Image Pickin' thread while it's on an active Moments crowner, that item will be withdrawn from the crowner.

Crowners on this thread do not count towards the Image Pickin' Special Cases Multiple Threads rule (which applies to "pages that have had three or more IP threads").

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.

  1. Pulled images will be tagged as:

Hey so there's from Solar Opposites's tearjerker page I want bring to be cut

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maxresdefault_9753.jpg

My reason for bring this pic up to be cut is because it actually pretty difficult see Steven crying to his reflection being transparent, while his transparent reflection kind obscure's Molly's face. Those are just my thoughts. What are your guys thoughts on this pic getting cut?

[up]Just a character crying does not seem enough reason to pull, if that would be the case then 50% of tear jerker images should be pulled.

I can see the Solar Opposites image being cutworthy but the visibly dead animal might help it along even if we can't see Steven's face.

[down] It happens in late season one to a minor character, so it's fine IMO.

Have we already done Death Battle pics here? Not gonna lie, the art style doesn't really work in stills, so a lot of these are hard to parse out.

Awesome.Death Battle Season Three, Awesome.Death Battle Season Seven, and TearJerker.Death Battle work but could use crops. Awesome.Death Battle Season Six has the opposite problem, it'd work better if it was less zoomed in on their faces.

NightmareFuel.Xavier Renegade Angel is just an iridescent monster that's not terribly scary. (Funny.Xavier Renegade Angel is also a little iffy as a still - it's a funny scene in context but I'm not certain about this still)

Hey I got a pic from Life Is Strange's Heartwarming page I'm not to sure about:

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cy2ryc_uoaaxg6u.jpeg
"Don't look so sad. I'm never leaving you."

If it wasn't for the caption I wouldn't know that pic is meant to invoke a heartwarming moment as is just features Chloe sadly smiling to Max, while Max's face isn't even shown (the doesn't even seem that clear to me). That said are there any thoughts on whether this pic should be cut or kept?

Voting to keep NightmareFuel.Congo (can definitely see that gorilla being freaky), NightmareFuel.The Conjuring (...yes they're two characters, but they also look like...That), NightmareFuel.Live Action TV (I took out the joke about blackface in the reason because I didn't think it was helpful. It's unsettling enough to keep for me), and Funny.In Spectre (the humor is clearly in her oblivious expression)

Hello. I would like to propose that the image for the general Comic Book/Deadpool page image be replaced with a cleaner counterpart that removes the issue numbering while retaining the titular character's comedic punchline from the same.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/deadpool_vol_7_15_textless.jpg

It will help make it look more timeless.
