Had I not played Earthbound before, I wouldn't even know that the almost dead guy there is supposed to be a nigh invisible bee-like alien (don't ask). I think it should be changed, finding a good example that doesn't involve a 1 pixel sized character shouldn't be too hard.

That's a horrible pic...no ideas on a replacement, though.

Wow - that's awful. I really can't figure out what's going on there, at all. Unfortunately I also can't think of any good replacements at the moment. I'll try to come up with something.

Should we pull the Earthbound image for the meantime? It's just confusing for anyone that hasn't played the game.

The dialogue does give enough of a clue as to what's happening. Not a good pic, but it's not clueless or misleading either.

Don't pull.

Maybe this image from Naked Gun 2 1/2: http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg4/scaled.php?server=4&filename=almostdeadx.png&res=landing

The scene its from embodies the trope and you can tell the guy is in bad shape. Slap an appropriate caption on there and we're good to go.
