This is the thread to use if you feel that the page image itself is good but the caption needs help.
If you think that both the image and the caption are poor, please make a thread in Image Pickin' for the page, and we'll work on the image and caption both at the same time.
As with other TRS and IP threads, please state your reasons and make your case in your first post. Don't make the other posters spend time trying to pry it out of you.

I like "Payback can be shockingly quick" for Laser-Guided Karma.

Any other opinion on Laser-Guided Karma? (Here forward)
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanWhat Willbyr said.
Image Source. Please update whenever an image is changed.I think Laser-Guided Karma works fine without a caption.
I also think the image should be magnified to twice its current size; is that an obvious improvement or does it need a thread?
Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!If you can find a larger version that's good quality, go ahead and change it out; quality swaps generally don't need a thread.
Fighting Spirit got its caption changed from "I choose you, Pika- er, Star Platinum!" to "ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA" which is a meme apparently.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanNeither the old caption or the new one make much sense to me... I guess they both relate to things I'm unfamiliar with? A better caption would be something that doesn't require you to know a work (or a meme) to get it.

Not sure about the first one...I think the second is a rapid-fe Ki Ai that the character yells as he's attacking. Neither is good.

The second one is a kiai. I've fixed the pothole so that it shows the correct spelling (kiai rather that KiAi), but nope, neither caption is very good.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.It might be a meme, but it's at least relevant to the image at hand (IIRC characters in Jojo actually do say this during such attacks).
Moon◊So what? To those who are not familiar with the series, that caption means nothing.
(No, my avatar is totally not ironic)
Here is my proposal for the caption of Fighting Spirit:
"Float like a butterfly, and sting like a bee. An entire nest of them."
Maybe too incomprehensible?
Also, I have a proposal for the caption for Coy, Girlish Flirt Pose:
"Either she's very into you, or she's trying to channel Liam Gallagher."
Maybe incomprehensible to those who don't know Oasis?
I'm a (socialist) professional writer serializing a WWII alternate history webnovel.I think I know what you're getting at, but I dunno that it works very well for the theme of the page.
A caption suggestion for Rubber Man:
"Rubber and a fighter."
I'm a (socialist) professional writer serializing a WWII alternate history webnovel.*snerk* I like it.
I think it's a bit of a stretch...
No, just kidding. I like it too.
Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.Mmmmm...I kinda jumped the gun, but I went ahead and added it.
What's up with the caption on Our Ghosts Are Different? "Told you our ghosts are different." Other than being irrelevant to the image, it's just digging its heel into the sucky snowclone name.

Image Source. Please update whenever an image is changed.Gah. Hit that with a pāoa.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman"At least he doesn't sparke."
Failing that,
"Nope, still calling the Ghostbusters."
Failing that,
"Easy come, easy ghost."
.....Okay, I got nothin. XP

I like "easy come, easy ghost".
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going."Easy come, easy ghost." is good for me.
Pāoa is the rod that the Hawaiian goddess Pele uses to create volcanic cones.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman+1 for "Easy come, easy ghost."

Although, I have to say, that kinda sounds like a husband being killed for performance issues.
Blame Game switch done and tagged.
