Both are pretty good, though if I had to, I'd give the El Dorado image a slight edge since it's from a work.

I really like the first one but the second one is not bad.

The OP suggestion looks clearer for me, so I'd lean towards that one.

Posting this coz it's hilarious (And fits at Wiki size if we put it vertically) and conveys the concept while being funny as hell.

Original is here if someone better than me at editing wants to try a better crop/more readable one

I think a straight example would convey the trope more clearly. That looks more like a Surrender Ceremony gone wrong.

Looking at them, I do like Cortez, but the OP is definitely a winner.

I don't have any ideas for a caption.
