Luna will become NNM once MORE!

LUNA: DARK LORD OF THE SITH!

brandon said...

i hope she's a good guy(pony?)i like her better that way

Celestia said...

Luna never did had much imagination for halloween costumes...

Fox E: said...

You hear that, fic authors? Badass Luna is best Luna!

Swoop said...

There appears to be a distinct lack of eyeshadow on Luna, i have my doubts..

moocow1452 said...

The horn is a bit of a giveaway, but whatevs.

So if we can't get a proper blog post about rumored screens, could somepony link us up?

Scribejay said...

@Tovler

Of course there's a train station in Ponyville. How else do you think they got a tree to Appleoosa?

And that image of Luna will be vectorized with full assumed body in...3...2...1.

Called it.

Hellwyrm20 said...

I'd like to think of Luna as beig mischievous. It would be pretty cool if these pictures were real (although I doubt it), as many people would like to Luna again.

ElectricZoNe said...

Holy to the power of D:

Sethisto said...

@moocow1452

We posted all of the known ones except the dinky thing, since...dinky with derpy seems a bit out there even if the animator on the forum thing seemed legit.

Mastertortilla27 said...

Maybe she's become a bounty hunter and tracks down traitors to Equestria.....

Mojo said...

@Sethisto

It LOOKED like Sibsy's art style at least.

at least I hope it's real cause man Haloween episode with Derpy (and maybe Dinky too?) HELL YEAH SIGN ME UP.

Radimir said...

>Make vector of badass Luna

It's a conspiracy, I tells ya.

Flutterfan said...

X-Files poster with evil Luna.

I WANT TO BELIEVE

Mojo said...

you guys are well aware that all the leaks could be completely true.

and yet Luna might you know not be an evil badass (though I do hope she's the second one) cause her being evil again would be kinda odd.

BronyDude said...

But Luna is a good girl!

Bastas said...

Ya'll will be happy to know that episode 4 does indeed have more of Luna. I don't know if this image specifically is taken from that episode, but the episode does focus on her.

GenericUsername said...

@Sethisto
If you ask me that's rarity with her.

Bastas said...

@Mojo

I'm the mysterious fella "that works for a tv listings company" that you've seen referred to in the other episodes with descriptions.

Unfortunately, this time around I only have the official description from the Hub which I am almost certain they keep confidential, so I can't post it in full until at least tomorrow.

Mojo said...

@Bastas


ah well that explains things I guess.

70f31582-eb1d-11e0-b79f-000bcdcb8a73 said...

@Bastas

So... you're for real? Episode 4 Luna is for real?

Mojo said...

so Seth are you prepared to deal with the invetiable Shitstorm when Luna appears?

cause im sure you know as well as I do that no matter how she is portrayed a portion of her fanbase will rage and stuff.

Octavia said...

If you think Luna returning causes a stir, just wait until Trixie returns. ;)

Flutterfan said...

@Bastas

Thanks for the info.

Episode 4 = My body is not ready!!

Tovler said...

We've known that Luna's return would cause shitstorm whether it was Fluttershy 1.5 Luna, Trickster Luna, or Evil Luna. As the old Manga forum proverb goes: You fanon, you lose.

Mojo said...

@Octavia

Trixie isn't anywhere near as big as Luna in the Fanon.

also she already has a canon personality, while Luna does not.

aramaru said...

Darth Luna says you don't know the power of the Dark Side.

*still skeptical, but damn some folks are fast*

Octavia said...

@Mojo

Yes, but that wasn't my point. My point is how divided people are on Trixie and the large number of people who cringe at the thought of her making another appearance.

Tovler said...

@Octavia I have a hard time believing this supposed Trixie speculation is anywhere near as big as Luna specualtion.

iastfan112 said...

@Tovler

I'm guessing an evil Luna would have a significantly larger backlash than other iterations. General consensus in the fanon is that she's "good" whether that she's also shy or mischievous varies but most don't view her as unrepentant of her former actions.

Saurian said...

But I like my Luna happy!

I don't want her to be Evil T_T

soph93 said...

she is not evil. she is just hiding her wings pretending to be just an unicorn.
she is planning the biggest prank evar to the mane6 and celestia. BUAHAHHAHA.

Parasoja said...

>_<

It doesn't look that much like luna to me. The colors are wrong (hair and coat shades seem off compared with each other, and too saturated), nose too long, horn spiral is too steep....

It could be plot and lighting-related stylization, and the eyes are the right color, but I just didn't think 'luna' when I saw it.

I guess we'll see.

Blackbelt said...

It's a Halloween costume!!!!!!


...Harvest Festival?

Um, duh: Luna is best Luna, regardless of how she's dressed.

@Blackbelt

Luna's birthday!

Totally calling it now. Luna's birthday.

Nyerpy said...

Considering the fact that Episode 3 is set to air on the 15th, and assuming Episode 4 would air a week later on the 22nd...(Which happens to be rather close to Halloween)

I'm betting on this being Luna in her Halloween costume.

Bastas said...

"Nightmare Night," actually. ;) And with that, I'm off to bed.

EonMaster said...

Wow, that was fast. I'm guessing either episode 4 or 5 will shed some light on this Luna image, assuming its real.

Fanloser said...

@Mojo
Statistically speaking? Not likely, these come from 4Chan, which is infamous for lying, faking and tricking.

Octavia said...

I think... I think Luna always dresses in style.

Hey! I didn't say it was a -good- style!

Roo said...

i sense a disturbance in the force....

@Fanloser

Except for that one time we got the exact plot of S2E1.

Flutterfan said...

If Luna finally appears what's going to happen to all those Luna fanfics?

Fun fact:
Cartoons often use different color palettes for characters depending on the scene in which they appear.

Lolwut

Sethisto said...

You make this so difficult on me good sir

Delichon said...

Ok, loony Luna = best Luna

Let's outdo Flutterrage in the anger department, outdo Pinkamena in the crazy department and outdo Trixie in the smug department.

"With all these elements combined..."

Tovler said...

@Xort

Out of context, you wouldn't know this was a spoiler unless you read enough of the comments.

Xort said...

@Tovler

You wouldn't know anything at all about it. I know I'd be curious myself, and look at the comments to see what was up.

Not that I'm upset by this or anything. I don't want spoilers, but those screens just don't seem legit to me so even if they do end up real I won't be able to say I was expecting it. I was just chuckling at the derpiness of it all.

Wierdplatformer said...

I thought that this image was the most real looking. I wnat to see this now!

I think Discord would be rolling around on the ground dieing of laughter right now too. The chaos!

@Dr. Henry Killinger

Most people roll with fake names, but we can do it tomorrow!

Fanloser said...

@Dr. Henry Killinger
I sincerely doubt that Baasta is what his says he is. It's seems far to convenient for my tastes. Especially since these leaks came from 4Chan and there are plenty of people wanting to mess with us bronies.

Tovler said...

@Xort

"I don't like spoilers. I think I'll read the comments section to see if this rumor is in fact a spoiler."

Oooh. I hope evil Luna becomes canon. I really resent the cute apologetic Luna especially after I read that one comic where Luna didn't actually become NMM on her own free will, it was "miasma" that possessed. Fuck that shit. Luna's a boss! She's always in control. She will be acknowledged not as your waifu, nor as your silly jester, but as your Queen!

Tovler said...

I don't go on 4Chan, but don't rumors like these come out on a weekly basis?

Tosxychor said...

@Bastas
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Love you Bastas. Thanks for all the info.

(I WANT TO BELIEEEEVEEEE)

Fanloser said...

@Tovler Yep, and a lot of them turn out to be fake. I think that's the case here, especially now that some random guy that claims to work for a TV listings company, but has to keep the "official description from the Hub" confidential, just suddenly appeared.

Alexstrazsa said...

HRNG, I can't wait for this episode. Since it's pretty much confirmed to be a...

ALMOST SPOILERS BELOW THIS POINT

Halloween Episode, I have no doubt that Luna is about to do some haunting in the dead of night. Think about it. The episode is scheduled for the 22nd of October, we've gotten a storyboard with spiders and a costume wearing pony, and Jayson Thiessen said there would be a "scary" episode coming up soon. Just add 2 + 2 together.

ALMOST SPOILERS ABOVE THIS POINT

All in all, my fears of a 'bad guy' Luna have been pretty much abolished. Can't wait for October!

Dr. Henry Killinger said...

@Fanloser

The pictures from 4chan is a different story entirely. I can't confirm those as being legit, and I'm not trying to. Our "mutual friend" has nothing to do with them. Instead, he has everything to do with the early episode synopsizes that are coming out. Like how we already know what episode 3 is gonna be. Judging by Seth's reaction, I would guess that this guy has been leaking information to EQ Daily for a while now. You can contrast that with how he reacts to the pictures, in that they are not able to be confirmed, even through EQ Daily's networks.

Oh, and @Sethisto:

I hope you are correct in your assumption. Regardless, I would suggest deleting any posts incriminating our "mutual friend". I will be deleting my previous one, as it mentions his name on there. Hopefully we can take care of any evidence of this happening, and that nobody saw it. I'll probably delete this post too after a while, as to not arouse any more suspicion then necessary.

Sigil said...

I might be the minority here, but I would love it if Luna turned out to be a villain in season 2. I know it wont happen but still would be kind of cool.

ActionScripter9109 said...

@Fanloser

Then again, if someone with that insider knowledge did decide, on the spur of the moment, to comment on spoilers, nobody would believe him... which looks the same as what we have here.

If he's trolling, he's got a foolproof scheme. If he's for real, he's got no way to convince us. Which is one reason why it's smarter for someone on the inside to just keep quiet.

Aiyana said...

I'll call it as a Halloween episode with luna being sneaky not evil. And derpy popping out of a bobbing for apples barrel :p

f9ced006-b71c-11e0-ad13-000bcdcb5194 said...

We know nothing about Luna's true personality. But I think I can safely say that she can't be EVIL. Hell, she was mortified about what she did when she was Nightmare Moon, and was all too eager to apologize to her sister and all. I doubt they'd do a flip-flop of that magnitude. Assuming this pic is actually real, I don't think flat-out evil is what we're actually seeing.

Fanloser said...

@Dr. Henry Killinger I still say it's just too convenient. But whatever.

Rainbow Brisk said...

---ARE THESE THINGS FAKE, OR JUST RUMORED?---

There is a big difference. I get my pony news from EqD only, and i'm the poor, dumb reader here. Will someone help me?

The recent "lol sorry" blog posts lead me to believe "fake" but nothing says so and you all seem to assume "rumor"

Whether this information is faked or rumored is important to me, and all the posts just confuse me more.

ChaosDX1 said...

So very awesome!!

Also, Zecora called, she wants her coat back.

icekatze said...

If this is real, I'm betting its either a flashback or some similar explanation other than evil luna.

Xort said...

@Tovler

Way to be an ass about it. There's plenty of things it could be other than a spoiler. Hell, the first time I saw ponies in socks, did I assume it was a spoiler for season 2? Fuck no. I thought it was some other weird thing the fandom had cooked up, and so I looked into it to see if I was right.

That's the same logic that goes behind checking the comments here. Without context, I would have thought "Ponies in cloaks" is the new meme or something.

Tosxychor said...

@Alexstrazsa

Yeah exactly, that's what I speculated as well here.

Honestly, this is gonna be SO AWESOME!!! /)^ε^(\ I can't wait for the 3rd episode, much less the 4th! XD

Tovler said...

@Xort

Yeah, but this one says "I don't care if it's a rumor..." which, is a warning. Also, wouldn't the content in the article have been enough?

Zirro said...

@Fanloser

They do not come from 4chan originally. I am quite convinced that they are legit based on other spoilers from then original source.

Fanloser said...

@Zirro What original source? In any case, that still doesn't mean they are legit, I remember someone making a website promoting an "art exhibit" that featured something called, "The Rape Tunnel," only for the whole thing to be fake.

P. Pony Ponyson said...

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Luna is supposed to be more innocent than Fluttershy!
Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Meep said...

@Flutterfan

Those fanfics will either rise to complete awesomeness...

Or

Burn into 'cannot be resurrected' ashes where Fluttershy cries foreveeeeeeeeeeer.

It all depends on which Luna becomes true canon. >:3

Must...resist...evil...laugh...

Xalgoz said...

Looks like Luna will be in the Halloween (likely given some pony-pun name instead) episode.

Corky64 said...

Fan fics will NEVER BE THE SAME.

richfiles said...

You bronies are CRAZY!!!

Luna is not evil. Hasbro has dumped Luna into the toy Market with 3 simultaneously released Luna toys. The standard size pony is bundled with Celestia, and is cheap. The Fashion Luna is bundled with fashion Celestia. The third Luna toy, the shine brite Luna is in that freakishly expensive $40 cardboard castle insul... I mean imitation.

All of the toys refer to her as princess Luna, and Hasbro notoriously has not produced toy villains for any of the antagonists. Even Gilda and Trixie are not manufactured. No Nightmare Moon. And 3 Lunas???

Luna is not evil. It's either:

a) a fake
or
b) a legit scene that is being GROSLY misinterpreted.

I do love this fandom, but you guys can be a mindless herd sometimes. Seriously, think for a moment.

dinodude0091 said...

You know, maybe Badass-Evil looking Luna is a sign of one of the BEST EPISODES EVER!! Think about it... the crew said that the first Luna episode of season 2 was going to be epic, and Lauren Faust herself stated that something MADE Luna turn into Nightmare Moon. I think the Evil Luna screenshot comes from an episode that flashes back to when Luna first became NMM. DO Y'ALL KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?!?! We'll finally get the official canon explanation to the secret of what REALLY HAPPENED one thousand years ago and IT IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!!!!!

Krizak said...

Guys, Lauren said in her interview that Luna, though associated with night and darkness, is good.

So she's not evil, despite her apparent penchant for hooded cloaks and diabolical grins.

Prediction: an almost-repeat of Bridle Gossip, with everyone going "ho noes, Luna is teh evilz" and her turning out not to be.

Killsteal_Wolf said...

That or it could be from a dream sequence. I swear, if Manly Spike from Dog and Pony Show was a leaked Image. The whole fandom would have gone insane about it with all the speculation.

Municipal Engines said...

Lol, the horn is way off centre.

KTS said...

She isn't evil. Just Misunderstood also she stole that cloak from Zecora XD

Armando said...

This world has been connected...tied to the darkness...soon to be completely eclipsed...

Am I seriously the only one that was thinking of Kingdom Hearts when I saw Luna in a brown cloak?

Luna said...

@Celestia
Did you forget what happened all the times we tried switching looks for Halloween?
No pony even knew who I was, but everypony knew it was you.

Luna said...

@Octavia
Nice....

You're not getting invited back to the palace to perform anymore.

Zirro said...

@Fanloser

The forum in which the animator kept posting spoilers, which Seth removed the link to on the request of forum admins. It can be found in the comments of that newspost.

wulfmon13 said...

It would be great if Luna returns in a Halloween episode.

Maybe out her as the true Prankster Princess?

Shadow Dragon said...

As much as I love nerdy, adorkable Luna, that probably isn't close to her canon personality. Even if she isn't evil, she will probably have a dark personality. She is the goddess of the moon and the creator of Nightmare Moon.

Cotton said...

Good Luna is best Luna.

Nilsareth said...

*SPOILER* umm maybe








I Heard this is from episode 4 which is apparently a halloween episode

Harwick said...

Here in the U.S., Halloween and New Year's Eve are really the only holidays celebrated by everyone that revolve almost totally around the night. It makes sense that the Princess of the Night would rule over Equestria's version of Halloween (I'm calling the flood of Luna/Skeleton Jack artwork right now.)

I also imagine, if it's her first one in a thousand years, she might go all out... And the modern ponies might not be prepared for the old ways of celebrating a scary night.

Municipal Engines said...

I have a theory that a Luna focused episode will have her being regretful and the friendship moral of the episode will be the Mane 6 trying to snap her out of her depression and get her to her original personality; a fun-loving, free spirited artist.

That would be my ideal episode.

Sketchy said...

Evil Luna is best Luna

lesserpoet said...

@richfilesThis is perhaps the most cogent point I've seen in this entire discussion. If nothing else, this disproves the "evil" concept. But if it is true that she is in the/a halloween episode, I could not be any more excited!!! I mean, halloween should be her night! Prankster Princess is best Princess!

Luna said...

If anything, it's me being a normal Halloween celebrater, with a streak of pranks and sinister-looking costumes, then being misunderstood as evil.

snowfi6916 said...

@richfiles

I agree. Hasbro would not do something like that and then turn around and make Luna evil again.

Think about it...it kills storytelling if you have a character that flip flops back and forth between being good and being bad. The best thing to do is either:

a) Have a good character turn bad.

or

b) Have a bad character become good (Luna's case).

My guess, if that picture of Luna is real, is that it is part of a Halloween episode. In which case I'm looking forward to it.

P.S.- Oh, and Lauren said that Luna was good.

Voice of God trumps all. Lol.

Sir Payne said...

I think its just showing what luna looks like through the eyes of another pony.

RandomFanguy said...

I hope it's like a Professor Chaos thing. She tries to do evil things but ends up failing in a hilarious and adorable way. If she turns out to be really evil I'll be disappointed and confused. Mostly because how am I supposed to take little Luna seriously.

Wolf said...

If Luna will become a bad guy, I will die, and it won't be the happy kind of death either :(
The cartoons,= for children never make the bad guys any good reasons to be bad (excuses, yes, but no reasons), so instead of getting badass Luna that tries to overthrow her brainwashing, tyrant sister we will get a Luna that will want to destroy the world because she's evil. Totally not cool, that is why stuff like this are better to be left for fans instead -.-' Do not want.jpg
Really, I'm fine with any Luna as long as she's not like a character pulled out from previous generation and given a new body

Wolf said...

@snowfi6916
You never know, there is still that SLIGHT possibility (0.00000000001% (yes, I made this statistic up)) that it's what we (read I) fear, and currently this possibility is TOO DAMN HIGH!

Smashmatt202 said...

I wonder how this image will be incorporated into her first episode since season 1 episode 2...

I knew there was something bad in the second season... :'(
