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.

While TearJerker.The Avengers 2012 is sad in context, to those unfamiliar with the work, it's not clear what's going on.
The Mask Does Not Laugh
TearJerker.Panty And Stocking With Garterbelt is JAFAAC and is part of another scene, which also means it's low on centext.

Someone added an image to Funny.Pibby, despite the fact that Pibby hasn't come out yet. I'd like for that image to be added in the next crowner.

A lot of good you did me.
Big Catch, Sparkle Edition
Technically moments from the trailer can qualify? Maybe???
Even then that's more Awesome/ to me anyway.

Isn't Pibby both a trailer and a pilot? I think the pilot is tropable on its own right now.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
Yeah, it's currently troped as a pilot, which is acceptable.
Big Catch, Sparkle Edition
TearJerker.Green Lantern The Animated Series has another "sad character" image, but this one is so subtle you might not even notice the tear at first. (The page itself is a mess, but that's another thread's problem.)

Okay, then it can be kept.
The image on NightmareFuel.The Curse Of The Were Rabbit isn't a particularly scary one, it's a goofy-looking giant rabbit howling at the moon. The movie is a horror spoof, so it might be possible to find some scarier imagery.

I've closed the current crowner. (Archive link)
I won't have time to put the next crowner together today.

Awesome.Tangled feels a bit too unclear without the caption context.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
- I didn't add Funny.Pibby, since the argument was that it was pre-release, but the work is troped as a pilot, which was already released. There was kinda sentiment that it might fit better for Awesome/, but I wasn't sure if that was a standalone argument or an "and another thing!" type of addition.
- Awesome.Tangled has a previous thread.
Finally: New rule, when requesting multiple pages at a time, please format it like this:
- Page 1: Reason
- Page 2: Reason
- Page 3: Reason
Instead of "Page 1: Reason, Page 2 and 3: Shared reason that's different from page 1"
This makes it easier for my brain to process them as crowner options to be put in, especially when posting about three or more things. Putting them all in a line — or worse, a paragraph — makes options easier to miss. I went over the posts several times and I think I got everything, but also my eyes are glazing over so if I missed something, my most sincere "my bad". Adding this to the pinned post and tagging everyone who suggested this round as an FYI: ~Miss Conduct, ~Morgenthaler (ahead of the curve with their post 
), ~costanton11, ~Wafer, ~Purple Eyed Guma, ~mightymewtron, ~War Jay 77, ~Snicka.
Happy voting!
Got it, thanks.
Myself, I voted to keep Funny.Cells At Work (it has all the hallmarks of an animated Beat Panel — while showing what they're reacting to would be better, I think the fact that everyone's doing it with the Black Bead Eyes and blank face puts it into Keep territory), Funny.South Park Bigger Longer And Uncut (I've never seen the work, but it's not just a guy making a face to me, it's a guy in trouble making a face), and Awesome.Tangled, as an image-caption-combo keeper.

Ah, didn't see the previous thread. I still don't love it but it's not bad enough for me to make another thread on it.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
NightmareFuel.Steven Universe Season 4 is just “angry/menacing villain”, not helped by the fact that Aquamarine has one of the least threatening character designs in the show.
Yeah, that's not good
Is the image on Nightmare Fuel The Ruins too gory? If you don't want to click the link, it shows a gory amputation
—signature not found—
Here are several MCU Tear Jerker pages:
- TearJerker.Iron Man 1 is a person dying, but to those unfamiliar, it's not readily apparent what's happening.
- TearJerker.Iron Man 2: Too dark to make out what's happening.
- TearJerker.Black Panther 2018: Not clear out of context.
Edit: Removed ones that have threads.
Edited by costanton11 on Jan 22nd 2022 at 3:38:57 AM
Oh, I have some replacement ideas for some of those... let's see what I can come up with before the next crowner.
(I also replaced TearJerker.Thor The Dark World with a brighter version, though it's still kinda unclear out of context.)
Edited by Synchronicity on Jan 22nd 2022 at 10:57:48 AM
NightmareFuel.El Chavo Del Ocho has been brought up in another thread. Even with a quality upgrade
◊, it's just Don Ramon looking at a skull painting.
Awesome.Homeward Bound The Incredible Journey
NightmareFuel.From Russia With Love
TearJerker.Green Lantern The Animated Series
NightmareFuel.The Curse Of The Were Rabbit
NightmareFuel.Dexter New Blood
AwesomeMusic.Zombie Land Saga is JAZAAC. I needed the caption to know what was going on.
Edited by PurpleEyedGuma on Jan 22nd 2022 at 12:36:31 PM
Gentleman Troper!
Don't Look Up and Don't Look Up (funny and tearjerker, resp) are both JAFAAC.
Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!
~Spark9 on the next, please put each page in a bulleted list. This is a big extra project and doing that makes it easier for me.

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.
Funny.Rugrats, Funny.Peppa Pig, Funny.Big Nate, and to a lesser extent Funny.Sagwa The Chinese Siamese Cat also share the same issue, just being people laughing.
