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.

Idk, if I saw that thing thinking staring me straight in the face I'd probably shit myself.

Hi! :3
NightmareFuel.A Serbian Film: JAFAAC, and while the image is similiar to the one on the Image Suggestion crowner it is on red and probably won't get consenseous.
He/Him
Granted I think any other shot from that film that is Nightmare Fuel would be NSFW.
I think this should be a special case where a JAFAAC is the only safe option.

Hi! :3
True, but still, the image is kinda Narmy
NightmareFuel.Alphabet Lore had another image readded without discussion. While it is slightly better than the old image horror-wise, it spoils the death of two characters, which isn't allowed for images.

It doesn't look like it spoils their deaths. Just looks like they're being attacked.
NightmareFuel.Adventure Time Fionna And Cake: The overly cartoony skeleton isn't scary, nor is there even any indication it's a corpse and not just Dem Bones.

Just some advice here, please use "." Instead of "/" so that the namespace can be seen.
Fixed. Thanks, dude.
Honestly, that film has so many nightmarish images that it should warrant its own replacement thread rather than just be unceremoniously scrapped here.
EDIT: I got several screencaps that stand out to be horrifying, but I'll have to wait till there's space open for a new thread.

If you're reading this, you're an awesome dude!
2101: should we pull or not?
STOP RIGHT THERE! BULLS**T!
Funny.Superman II: Doesn’t seem humorous as a still image.
NightmareFuel.Get Out 2017: A guy in the dark looking worked up and reaching out.
Hi! :3
Is it okay to remove the NightmareFuel.A Serbian Film image due to being downvoted in the crowner ?
Okay, making a mod call and pulling both the images on NightmareFuel.Get Out 2017 and NightmareFuel.A Serbian Film. They were already downvoted in the Suggestion thread; I don't see them doing much better here.
Welcome to the sunken place.

Calling the Sept 21 crowner
TearJerker.Mission Impossible Film Series
Awesome.Death Battle Season Nine
Funny.Death Battle Season Eight
Awesome.Death Battle Season Four
Keeps:
Hi! :3
- TearJerker.Adventure Time Fionna And Cake: Just Simon looking sad.
- TearJerker.The Agonist: JAFAAC
- TearJerker.Yakuza 6: Just two characters looking at each other
- TearJerker.Pantheon: Poor quality, and JAFAAC.
- TearJerker.War Of The Worlds 2005: Poor quality, and JAFAAC.
- TearJerker.Control Z: JAFAAC
Noting here that Funny.Xavier Renegade Angel was chosen by thread. Voting keep, I think that the Osama Bin Lader poster in the back and the fact that he's being given AIDS in a bottle are funny enough.
Buzz
Funny.South Park Bigger Longer And Uncut doesn't work well as a still image
Image Pickin' Backlog
The thread already kept that one. Please remember to check for previous discussions.
I mean, I agree it's kinda weak. And the pinned comment doesn't have anything in it saying something akin to "voted negatively in crowner before = cannot be rerun through crowner". Outcome may be the same or it could change this time.
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 vote and a ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled, any 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.
- Do not add more items to the crowner once it's running.
Since I screwed up
, let's begin again...
NightmareFuel.Ohsama Sentai King Ohger: It's just a picture of a mask. Doesn't look scary to anyone.
STOP RIGHT THERE! BULLS**T!
