Hi
Opened. I get what it's going for, but it's not immediately clear.

I have no idea what I'm looking at here.
Health sure is versatile. It's possible to be both light-headed and dim-witted. At the same time, no less.

It's a 2018 Soviet calendar, so I guess the idea is that the USSR assumed it would still exist in 2018? Reverse Google image search brings up this poster

Well, that can work since technically it implies that Queen Elizabeth II isn't around by 2015, which was clearly not the case at all. Even if Diana lived, she wouldn't be Queen regardless.

We need to make clear that the work was made before 2015 to distinguish it from Alternate History.
I think that could be done by the caption. As a suggestion:
¿Que pasó que pasó vamos 'ay?
5 is a good, althoug sad, option
I'll go with 5+8.

I'm against the 2018 Soviet calendar because it looks like it has poor quality. Artifacting showing up around "2018" in the corner.
5 + 8's caption is cool.
Hi
5 + 8 for me.

Actually, half the headlines in 5 can be highlighted to indicate a Dewey Defeats Truman scenario.
The Japanese Stock Market, and the President saying She's Tired part of the image are all worthy of a highlight.
I hold the secrets of the machine.
As well as headlines that talk about Swiss terrorists, bionic arms, trash falling from hovercars and kelp being a hot commodity, as obviously none of those predictions came to pass by 2015.
In fact I'd say CAR OWNERS REVOLT is the only one of those headlines that you could've actually seen in the real year 2015, all of the others are based on imagined cultural/social/scientific developments that didn't happen the way the movie predicted.
So basically there's no need to highlight any particular headline.

Honestly it's good without the need for any highlighted section.
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."
Sounds good on paper (he/him)
I think 5+8 works. I also agree with TechPriest that the "Queen Diana Will Visit Washington" headline isn't the only headline worth highlighting.

I see no problem with focusing the viewer on a particular headline, especially since there are also two examples of the opposite I Want My Jet Pack showing, meaning reality not going beyond but falling short of expectations. We can point to a second example in the caption.

Hi
I think that's enough consensus for 5+8; they're in and tagged. Locking up.
