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 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.
- 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 Image Pickin' thread.

Lots of coffee
I'm surprised Awesome.Futurama is so high up. Aren't spaceships and lasers kind of inherently seen as cool?
TearJerker.Futurama I can kind of get better but I always figured Seymour looked old and pathetic enough to elicit sympathy even outside of the infamous context. I already have ideas on how to replace it though.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Closed the crowner. We'll do the tidy-up later, and will hopefully launch a new one tomorrow.
Finished processing the rest of the crowner. Pulls/keeps in the results post linked in the crowner description.
Changed "watermark" to "mark" in some of the given reasons because "watermark" refers to something more specific (see About Images and Copyright).
Awesome.Mad Max 2 The Road Warrior: In a still image, it's difficult to tell that a chase is going on.
Results post for May 12 Crowner.

Awesome.Codename Kids Next Door: Just a crowd shot and a caption.
Edited by Xenothekid on May 15th 2024 at 1:48:50 PM
- Funny.Miss Kobayashis Dragon Maid: Unclear as to what's supposed to be funny without the caption. And even then, it's not all that funny.
- Heartwarming.Miss Kobayashis Dragon Maid: Just a character smiling. Not very heartwarming by itself.
- Funny.Multi Versus: Just two characters and a caption.
- Awesome.Freakazoid: Just the main character screaming at someone, which seems more funny than awesome.
- Awesome.Courage The Cowardly Dog: Out of context, it's just the main character screaming into a stethoscope, which seems more funny than awesome.
- Heartwarming.Samurai Jack: Just a tree.
- AwesomeMusic.Dear Evan Hansen: Just the main characters jumping with no correlation to any music playing.
- Funny.Duck Tales 1987: Too reliant on the caption.
- NightmareFuel.Duck Tales 1987: Not scary in the slightest.
- Funny.Peanut Butter Gamer: Just a screenshot from a game that has no correlation to PBG himself and could be from any other YouTuber for all we know.
- Funny.Charmed 1998: JAFAAC.

It's been 5 days. Time for the current crowner to be closed.
he/him
Closing the May 12 crowner. We'll do the tidy-up later today - not sure if I'll have a chance to launch a replacement immediately, but it won't be long.
Edit: All images pulled, all pages tagged. Results post updated. I did a quick double check and all looks ok, but if anyone spots anything wrong then please holler. Unhooking the old crowner and changing thread title now.

- Funny.Katawa Shoujo: Just two guys sitting down.

I believe the image for Awesome.Codename Kids Next Door is supposed to invoke Badass Army.
Animu
Funny.Lamento Beyond The Void: Can't really see the character nor what's supposed to happen, appears disconnected to the caption.

Owl House / Infinity Train / Inside Job Fan
Tearjerker.The Garfield Movie is more silly than sad. And it’s JAFAAC anyway.
The Owl House and Coyote Vs Acme are my Roman Empire.
Lots of coffee
I don't think it's JAFAAC because a crying kitten is pretty easy to clock as sad. But the art style and bright lighting makes it harder to get the emotion.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

5 days have passed and the crowner can be closed now. Awesome.ET The Extra Terrestrial has been voted to keep while Heartwarming.Dead Boy Detectives 2024 has enough ratio to be pulled.

We've got a timer on this. I don't expect anything significant to change, but it's not actually 5 full days yet.
No need to chase just yet.
he/him
And the timer's up, so calling the final items on the crowner. Will sort out the last two images later (one keep, one pull) and launch a new one, unless someone beats me to it.

New post just to note that the crowner is live now — and this one brings us completely up to date.
(Edit: clock starts with this post, rather than the crowner creation timestamp)

NightmareFuel.Sesame Street relies too much on Unintentional Uncanny Valley rather than something intentionally scary. And even then, it's just kind of weird-looking at worst.
he/him
Pinned post slightly updated: added a hyperlink to the suggestion thread reference, added the 2:1 ratio rule mentioned in the crowner text.
Slightly amended the "Image kept" comment template so that it uses the same 'start a thread' phrasing for future changes as the "image pulled" comment.
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 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 an item has a (CLOSED) note, there is no need to vote on it; the result has already been decided.
Results and image links can be found here
.
Everything at +8 and above has been pulled - and the crowner and results post have been updated.
Unless anything else gets a boost into the +8 and above range (in which case we might pull it early), we're just waiting for the crowner 5 day point now.
