Does Not Illustrate: Latin Land

I think it's a one time gag in Road to Eldorado about Aztec flying men being portrayed as a sideshow attraction or something, but I don't see how this shows stereotypes about Latin America (if anything it's the Mayincatec trope, because Eldorado wasn't Aztec... but it is in the movie apparently... not that you would know that from the image and caption anyway).

Completely non-illustrative. Pull.

Yeah, that's pretty obtuse. Pull. It shouldn't be hard to find a better image.

Definitely pull no matter what. It doesn't really indicate what the trope is.

So how about alternatives:

1) Panama in Team America: World Police (2004).

Caption: "On the plus side, the good stuff literally grows on the trees".

2) A collage of shows with the "Old Mexico" set at Universal Studios, but it will take time. Here's in Medical Investigation, Westworld, and Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders (not from the actual show but will look for a shot in it, it was in both seasons). They also used it in a Pope Francis biopic and My Name is Earl, unless I'm misremembering.

Caption: "When you know, you know." Or "Sometimes, Latin Land is just a lot in Los Angeles." Or, the usual, "Clockwise: [list of real locations claimed, but they are all shots of the same church set in different shows]".

3) A version of these memes or similar:

I like 10.2. If that's not enough, we could do a collage of stereotypical Latin-American settings.

[up][up]I think the only "image macro" part of it is the Impact font.

This is a crop from a 1930 cartoon of Central America and the Caribbean by Ruth Taylor.
