I'd like to challenge the current crowner suggestion for the trope. Not sure how the scene plays out but in the frame suggested the alien is half visible anyway, so the flickering FX is not needed to help locate its position. Suggesting shots from Forbidden Planet: [1], [2]

I'm starting to think that this may need a two-panel pic for full context. That said, I don't have a problem with the Predator pic.

I don't have a problem with the Predator pic. What mostly makes it clear to me is that dark line at his throat, and the random blue lights.

The suggestion seems less clear to me. There's less of a suggestion it's not just partial invisibility.

Bump. Other thoughts?

Looks like this isn't going anywhere with motivated voting. Crowner it is, then.

Predator in water is 7 points in the green; the 2nd place alternative is a point in the red. May as well go with predator in water.

Bumping after a few days because it's still unlocked while the crowner's closed and the new image is up; is this thread kept open for captioning it or something?

I could've swore that I posted that the new pic was up...must've closed the tab without actually posting. Well, let's give a.day or two for caption ideas since it's done.
