Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

The first Paw Patrol movie is about a corrupt and incompetent mayor who accumulates too much power, wrongfully imprisons dogs, and must be stopped, for the good of the public. At least, that's how it's presented at first glance.

But if you peel back the layers, it's really about the elected leader in a two-party system, from the cat party, being overthrown by the dog party (note that all first responders seem to be from the same political party), for daring to put the dogs in obedience school (that is, requiring first responders to actually abide by the rules of their society). Worst part is that the mayor isn't even mayor of the same town - the dogs go to the next city over to overthrow that political leader, akin to some kind of cold war era foreign-orchestrated coup.
