I don't know, it looks too real almost like a 2001 reference.

[up][up] Looks like it'll work.

I also like the Uncharted suggestion (using panels 1 and 3).

Hard for me to choose between those two.

In the crowner: Uncharted: Swapped [1] with [2] Mario: Swapped [3] with [4].

Personal opinion: Uncharted is the best example, if you read what is written above the examples of this trope, it is a perfect pick.

Bump for votes; two in the green, one with consensus and a pretty commanding lead.

Is there any way to get a higher quality uncharted pic? It seems so artifacted or way too much bloom or something.

This one's crystal clear; calling it. Can someone please put up the winner? Thanks in advance.

Caption or no?

I added the image but it looks sloppy, might need to get cropped from the bottom or top.

[up] Hollywood: Where the line between reality and fiction becomes blurry.

I think this will fit here but there are barely a dozen examples so i am fine with it going captionless.

I think we need to link a real mirage in the caption. What about 'Real mirages don't hold a candle to what Hollywood tries to imagine.'

^^ I like it, though without the Just For Pun pothole. A pun either works or it doesn't.

37 for the caption? Host the image on tv tropes and without the pothole I guess.

Well I prefer to at least show people what a real mirage looks like in the caption, showing the difference visually between a real one and what a Hollywood one looks like.

Its amazing how many people don't know what a real one is and just believe its a fake thing.

How about: Hallucinations, mirages, what's the difference?

No consensus on a caption; locking up.
