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
- 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.
- 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 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.

Funny.Godzilla Vs Kong: More so caption reliant, character doesn’t seem to be doing a funny action.
Awesome - Transformers Dark of the Moon has an image embedded in one of the folders (Chicago Battle folder, to be specific). Not sure if it needs to be moved to the top or removed outright, let me know if this needs to go in a different thread or if this is the right place to add such questions, thanks.
TearJerker.Crisis On Infinite Earths 2019 relies on the caption to explain why it is sad.
Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadCalling the Oct 21 crowner
at the 3-day mark, as everything not in consensus range is deep in the red.

NightmareFuel.The Fall Of The House Of Usher 2023 was replaced in its own thread
~spyland2 - Since it's the only image on the page, it can just be moved to the top. (If there were multiple images on the page, a thread would have to be started for it.)
This would be the thread to go to if you think it doesn't work as an Awesome image and should be removed for that reason.
I notice a lot of entries on the crowner are considered "JAFAAC" for being literally images of faces, even if they're funny faces.

TearJerker.Arrow: While it is sad, is also a major spoiler for the final episode.
Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup thread- TearJerker.Godzilla: depicts a major spoiler that happens during the climax of the film (that film being Godzilla vs. Destoroyah)
![]()
I'm more concerned with how it's kinda hard to see in general, and Godzilla's face isn't known for being very emotive, so it doesn't read terribly sad.
- NightmareFuel.Doctor Who Series 5 - its scary alien is kinda blurry, and the Special Effect Failure-looking green screen is distracting.
- Awesome.Doctor Who Series 9 is pretty hard to parse.
- Awesome.Doctor Who Series 11 is a bunch of people standing in a line.
- Awesome.Ace Attorney isn't any more awesome than any other level win screen.
- Funny.Ace Attorney 2016 isn't funny out of context.
- TearJerker.Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trials And Tribulations is just a wide shot of the courtroom.
- Funny.American Horror Story Apocalypse is a meta joke with the celebrity cameo and isn't terribly funny out of context; it's not a terribly funny face by itself.
This is a weird one, but Funny.Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney and Funny.Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Justice For All are basically the same (the same angry Edgeworth pose) but with a different phrase (and Justice For All's pic isn't from the HD rerelease). Should we pick one?

This has already been discussed, and there's a keep notice on one. It would be easier to just start a thread with a replacement suggestion for at least one. Also, duplicate images wouldn't go on this crowner anyway.
Also also, there's no image on Funny.American Horror Story Roanoke?
Edited by Synchronicity on Oct 26th 2023 at 12:31:38 PM

The Doctor: No, don't do that.
Rose: Hoots mon!
The Doctor: No, really don't. Really.



Everything else is either deep in the red or still quite up in the air.
Yeah, even as the one who added it, I have been trying to find a replacement. So, I started a thread
.

Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadTearJerker.Ghostbusters Afterlife is just an inMemoriam. One where the text is VERY small and against a plain black background, which, while does make the film overall a great tribute, doesn't really sell the impact since to people who view the page, it's just text against a background.
Also if I'm not wrong, In Memoriam examples could count as meta, and examples about meta stuff aren't allowed in moments pages at all.
I am actually unsure if it would be Meta. In Memoriam is about real-life death but if it is at the beginning of the movie, it is still technically in the movie. So, I am not sure how we treat that type of stuff. That said the one for Afterlife has the problem of being very small and dark, which makes hard to read.

Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadSo I jumped the gun and made this thread
in response to ![]()
, but to be fair, it's a duplicate image, so it had to be brought up anyways

Image Pickin' BacklogIt has a sufficient creepy atmosphere. I'm sure there are creepier images but this works for now.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
