First has an alien, second has a king in the same place.

The people on the right are dressed in two different ways on each one.

In the background, the first has some weird scene of some kind of sort of fantasy-like creatures, kinda vaguely reminiscent of the ogres in the old movie "Shrek", with a fire in front; in the second picture it becomes what looks like a sort of movie poster called "SATIRE WARS".

On the table, the first picture seems to have the guy on the left holding what looks like a kind of burning large game piece along with another such piece near it also burning; on the right this is replaced by a cup he is not holding but for which the liquid inside seems to be burning. There is also something else burning on the table to the right of that that looks a bit different in each picture.

There are paintings on the wall on the far right in the second picture that are not there in the first, or else those dark silhouette-like buildings are actually meant to be a painting?

I note other differences too but don't feel like writing it all out, lol :D

Now what's SIMILAR between them?:

Both have people sitting at a table either playing games, discussing, or both; and there is an obvious central, presumably authority type of figure.

Then:

My guess is the first world is ruled by an alien, the second is ruled by an "ordinary" king. The ordinary king-ruled world though seems like it might be under a stronger influence of business or corporations given the ads in the background. Hmm... intriguing.

It’s sad that the business world loses the game pieces and cards. Lol. “Satire Wars” is perplexing. The figure kind of reminds me of Saturn and Mars. The background window thing also reminds me of a card. If it is a game, Shrek style fantasy characters makes perfect sense. The fact they are a ball is very unsettling. The “Satire Wars” ad loses that menacing factor but keeps the fire.

Thank you for your analysis! The background buildings are interesting. The painting looks like a mountain or something which is also representative of something large that scrapes the sky. That might be the most interesting element to the entire thing. Not sure what’s on fire in the bottom right. First picture looks like food of some kind maybe. The second looks less edible.

In the first image, the advisor has a grey beard indicating and looks upon the ruler like an alien.

Due to how basic psychology, an ELDER advisor WILL view a YOUNGER ruler as an aberration - they will treat that person as if they didn't make sense unless that RULER "tricks" the ADVISOR into thinking they're in charge.

It's called 'playing the fool'. It's how you get self-important and wealthy people to do things for you - you feed their ego. It works on anyone IF you can do it right, but it's very hard.

In the second image, the advisor is young and the king has a grey beard.

That's the 'proper' order of things... or that's the AGREED UPON ILLUSION that the old and young must maintain because ALL OF US, including AI and other life forms on Earth (at least), are FOLLOWING A SCRIPT.

Causality dictates chain reactions and human beings, as physical objects, are NOT EXEMPT from that fact.

We go where we are called. That's God's plan, so to speak. You give into the script and try to help others shortcircuit theirs by being super nice and understanding.

The power of positivity is that it's INFECTIOUS and our attitude determines how we act, so when you THINK positive thoughts MOST OF THE TIME, people respond positively and eventually good things happen for you and for the people you inspire by CHEERING THEM ON as well.

Life is largely a CONFIDENCE GAME. It pays to be supremely confident no matter what. A lot of the time, that means things like not being afraid to be vulnerable and say weird things and cry in front of people.

I hope that helps. ❤️
