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.
Templates

Cleaning up Pages That Need IP, since we're gonna cut it soon.
- TearJerker.Spider Man Homecoming: Too dark to make out, doesn't make sense outside of context.
- NightmareFuel.Dunkirk: Just a group of soldiers and a caption.
- NightmareFuel.Bobs Burgers: Not really scary, and generally far away.
Final pull:

The following will be tagged as keepers:
TearJerker.What If 2021 is really really dark, even with a lightening up (see here
) it's still just someone hunched over.
Funny.The Runaway Guys Mario Party doesn't make sense out of context.
Funny.Animator Vs Animation is reliant on context to work, and doesn't look great at wikisize.
I'd like to apologize for all this.A suggestion for NightmareFuel.Smiling Friends did not materialize in the interim so I put it on the crowner. But for the record, if you have one in mind, there's no need to bring it up here. Just start a thread.
TearJerker.Video Games was just kept last time, so it's not coming in for round 2. Start a thread, preferably with a replacement suggestion.
Tear Jerker.The Casagrandes is just a character crying, and even still it looks rather silly with the Ocular Gushers (to note, this is the typical way characters cry in the show and the The Loud House franchise in general, and it has been played for laughs at least one, but it still wouldn't work out as sad out of context here).

Waiting to have my head melted and mounted on a wall.- TearJerker.Digimon Adventure is JAFAAC.
- Funny.Digimon Adventure is unclear out of context.

Oh crap my suggestion was being waited on? Sorry about that. When I get a pic I'll open a thread.
Works That Require Cleanup of Complaining | Troper WallNightmareFuel.Hotel Transylvania looks like a cute-looking blob with eyes. I can’t tell you the context.
Some more MCU examples
- Funny.Iron Man 1: Reliant more on context.
- Funny.The Incredible Hulk 2008: Reliant more on context.
- Funny.Iron Man 2: The humor is from the fact that he's eating the donuts in his armor, but it's hard to see here.
- Funny.Thor: Picture is moreso the setup to a funny moment.
- Funny.Avengers Age Of Ultron: Reliant on context.
- Funny.Captain America Civil War: Just two people looking at something.
- Funny.Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2: Just a character laughing.
- Funny.Thor Ragnarok: JAFAAC.
- Funny.Black Panther 2018: Reliant more on the caption.
- Funny.Avengers Infinity War: JAFAAC.
- Funny.Avengers Endgame: Just a character making a gesture.
- Funny.Spider Man Far From Home: The writing on the note isn't very visible at wiki size.

Awesome.The Grapes Of Wrath... I guess it's a shot that spans a lot of the area, but it's not easy to grasp awesome from just a small person walking in the distance.
Currently mostly inactive. An incremental game I tested: https://galaxy.click/play/176 (Gods of Incremental)Funny.Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them is just a picture of Newt Scamander.
NightmareFuel.Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them doesn't make sense outside of context.
I'd like to apologize for all this.![]()
Not having watched the film yet, it looks more Heartwarming to me.
Awesome.Creepy Castle is nearly incomprehensible.
Currently mostly inactive. An incremental game I tested: https://galaxy.click/play/176 (Gods of Incremental)![]()
![]()
A TSA agent checked his suitcase and found the costume, but just thought he was a cosplayer or something. Maybe the image could work with a shot of the TSA agent's face?
Is it clear what's happening at TearJerker.Dinosaurs without reading the Wall of Text explanation further on page?
