• Rumor: Season Two Screenshots!

    Google plus pony has hidden these after the break to avoid spoilers.  She's such a nice pony.

    Also tossed another since its in the comments on the other post anyway! 


    Protip: it's not dinky




    Looks like some new screenshots have popped up! That's a pretty evil lookin Luna right there.

    Cereal says this should be rumor tagged, so rumor tag it is!

    This is /co/ news though, so take it with a grain of salt! Fake stuff pops up there all the time.

    (Note: I have been asked to remove the forum link, sorry doods!)

    2. No one else noticed the PhotoShop sidebar on the left of the Luna pic? If you can't see it, look in the bottom left corner.

    4. If Luna turns out to be evil, I will cry a river so wide it will sweep Habro away. She's mai waifu~!

      highly doubtful after the way the season one premiere had ended. it's only one image. We don't know the context of it at all. It's not very realistic to make assumptions so soon.

    7. The first image looks to be a screen shot from a new intro. But as far as i know there are no plans to to re do the current one, just to update the music.
      A another thing is these were taken off a CRT display, the scan line in image 2 is a easy give away. And no production studio uses those any more. The time code in image one is also in the wrong place it's usually at the bottom.

    8. I hope it's an origin story. The birth of Nightmare Moon. Or it's fake. I couldn't care one way or not. I just can't wait for Luna to return!

    9. Luna just takes larping really far...

      ReplyDelete
    10. Wow, figures this would garner a rather large number of replies in a rather short time frame. lol I wanna say stuff, but I'mma sit quiet and watch while the theories flow. They're like the spice afterall. ;)

    11. @Nilsareth Oh Christ, another one of you New Lunar Republic nutjobs? Your kind are giving the rest of us bronies a real bad name. Please, for the fandom and all that is good, just stop.

    12. i don't think luna is evil. she i just hiding her wings so she can pretend to be just a normal unicorn.
      she is planning the biggest prank evar.

      ReplyDelete
    13. I don't give a shit if it's Evil Luna, Trickster Luna, or just "I can do this!" Luna - it's LUNA, and that is all that is important.

      ReplyDelete
    14. ... So, what evidence do we have it's actual Luna, and not a pony villain posing as Luna?

      ReplyDelete
    15. Naaah, this is a fake. There's too much effort on making the screenshots look real.

      ReplyDelete
    16. If that Derpy Storyboard picture is real, that means her Canon name actually is Derpy Hooves and not Ditzy Doo.

      ReplyDelete
    17. I like to think all three are legit. Makes total sense in fact.

      The train thing is a revamped graphic for the revamped intro song. And that isn't the middle of Ponyville, have a better look you guys.

      And the others are for the scary episode, which coincides with the Halloween one, which coincides with the Luna one... since the artists got a red-light from the start to Luna in 'normal' episodes, since the executives didn't want her too much involved from the start (because of her being Princess of the Night and stuff, clashes with their ideas of a show for little girls I guess), so it makes total sense to make her appear in a Halloween episode, so she can actually have a large appearance, and be scary without actually being evil (joking around for the occasion).

      And the title "Nightmare Night" just seals the deal.

      ReplyDelete
    18. Honestly, I think the trend here is that these shots are from the Halloween episode. Look at the the features in the derpy story board.

      Luna in a cowl? Halloween? More likely than you think.

      ReplyDelete
    19. Yay! Derpy.

      And yeah, looks like the new intro.

      ReplyDelete
    20. Oh God DERPY STORYBOARD PIC.

      I am thrilled. :D

    21. damn if this is real ill be sad i want sad luna

      ReplyDelete
    22. An anonymous person contacted Bronytoons a few days ago and told us that Luna would be appearing soon.
      Hmm.

      ReplyDelete
    23. Well, if they do happen to be real, it looks like maybe they made a Halloween episode or something. that could be... interesting.

      Also one of those pics seems like it could be from a new intro thing *crosses fingers*

      ReplyDelete
    24. 100% fake pics....you can't fool bronies that easily lol

      ReplyDelete
    25. And once again certain members of the fandom try and impose their own beliefs about what Luna should be. People, if you chose to envision Luna as something and she doesn't match it, that's your problem. So many people have ruined Luna by hyping her up far too much. Whether this is fake or not doesn't matter; the fact that so many people are whining already about what Luna might be like just proves that people need to understand that fanon and canon are totally different things. Don't feel butt-hurt when something that you've fabricated doesn't come true.

      ReplyDelete
    26. I think that picture is from one those Twilight-halucinations, after she heard that Princess Luna is comming to Ponyville for a visit:
      "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! She is comming to go all 'Empire strikes back' on our plots!" or an episode where everypony of the Mane6 is imagining what will happen, when she comes.
      And in the end of the episode she really visits Ponyville and says "Hello". lol

      ReplyDelete
    27. For the first picture:
      There is a lot of flank-load of different chars in it (all three CMCs, BigMac, Granny Smith, Twilight, Spike, THE BALLOON) for it to be legit (or at least from an episode and not a commercial)

      ReplyDelete
    28. Yeah I call fake too.
      The one with Twilight and Spike is from the opening, the background no idea.
      The Luna one is obviously just a fanart or something, doesn't look like the tv show.
      And the one with Derpy ... I don't think they would put her so much in the focus.

      ReplyDelete
    29. (blinks)

      Holeeeeeeeeeeeee! Wow!

      (calms down)

      OK, analysing - I agree with the assessment that the first shot is a revamped intro, and that the second and third are from 'Nightmare Night'

      Ponyville's train station? The half-timbered/thatched architecture of the buildings in the background certainly matches Ponyville. The station building (identified by the little locomotive signs) is also thatched. Nice use of lamp-standards and potted plants to suggest a communal space.

      Four CMC in the train? Not sure. Scoots, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle are definately in the pale-blue plank-wagon at the back, but the fourth filly appears to be riding on the balcony of the dark-blue van directly ahead of them, so maybe, or maybe not. However, there seems to be a pony visable in every window of the train - assuming this is legit, there should be a lot of fun in freeze-framing to identify them all.

      Lyra's tail? Please oh please oh please!

      Luna looks...badass. And the dramatic lighting suggests a lightning strike off-stage-left. Evil or simply awesome? - the suspense may kill us!

      And now the coup-de-grace...THE DERPED ONE!

      Derpy appears to be messing up a game of apple-bobbing, popping out of the water much as Gummy is inclined to do, except with the plug to the tub in her mouth - is this a nod to the 'Derpy raided your fridge' meme?

      Use of the name 'Derpy' in the storyboard rather than 'Ditzy' may polarise fans who disagree on whether the name 'Derpy' is casually cruel and offensive. I'm on the fence with this, as 'Derpy' sounds more affectionate to me than 'Ditzy', but I can see where the argument comes from - for the same reason, I doubt she'll be identified as such verbally in the episode - much as we love that lil' grey pegasus, people outside the fandom may not be so understanding.

      Paper bags worn on head and hooves...that's a creative costume Derpy.

      And...is that Dinky? Even if you assume exaggerated perspective, that pony behind Derpy looks extremely small - I mean, filly small.

      So, unicorn filly, shaggy mane, close proximity to Derpy...and analysing the writing at the bottom suggests either a typo or a moment of confusion on the part of the script (could it have been 'Dinky reacts - glares at Derpy', but the storyboard artist flubbed) - I know some people have suggested it's Rarity, but not only can I not envision Rarity apple-bobbing, the mane seems too short and mussed to be Ponyville's resident fashionista - however, the tail does appear to be coiffed in Rarity's signiture style.

      But if this pans out as I believe it will, we may get a subtle nod to Derpy's fandom daughter...here's hoping.

      And...regardless of whether that's Dinky or Rarity, she seems to be wearing a vampire costume (that appears to be a raised cowl around her neck, reminiscent of a cape, though I can't decide on whether or not the bat-balloon is also part of her outfit - the cross-stitching at the neckline also evokes a sort of 'Bride of Dracula' dress (which honestly is more in keeping with Rarity than Derpy) - either way, meme time!

      If these are all genuine screencaps/production materials, then this may be an idication of how the creative team are going to throw out homages to the fans - little insert moments with fan-favourite characters which to other audiences will just be amusing asides, like Berry-Punch slurping the punchbowl in 'Call of the Cutie', or the flower-ponies comic overreactions. If so, and if it doesn't go so far as pandering directly to us, then I'm not only happy, I can practically feel the love radiating from my screen!

      Best, Production, Fandom, Relationship, Ever!

      (looses self restraint)

      Squeeeeeeeeee!

    30. Willing to bet that Luna's cloak look is not anything evil, but may be her attempting to be inconspicuous. The evil grin is not anything to judge by considering the evil sides of Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie.

      Also, DERPY!!

      ReplyDelete
    31. Judging by the storyboard snippet, we are indeed getting a Halloween Episode! Sweet! And a perfect one to reintroduce Luna!

      ReplyDelete
    32. Oh, and I can believe that's Rarity in the storyboard. She seems to be dressed as Elvira, with the majority of her mane up in a beehive hairdo. The ragged nature of her bangs can be attributed to her having just dunked her face.

      ReplyDelete
    33. @Harwick

      Good point - if what I thought was a balloon is actually a beehive hairdo, then it definately points towards Rarity. Thanks for pointing that out :)

      Just noticed in the train station pic, that behind the balloon's basket you can just see the locomotive, complete with a pony engineer (striped hat and all) - interesting deviation from 'Over a barrel'.

      ReplyDelete
    34. Let's see here, new opening sequence with a Ponyville Train Station, Evil Luna (most likely from a flashback episode to when she was first becoming NMM), and OH SWEET CELESTIA'S MANE DERPY AT A HALLOWEEN PARTY!!!

      It's official. Season 2 is going to be SO AWESOME!!!

      ReplyDelete
    35. Apparently, I just sang the MLP theme song without me knowing. When prompted why I did it, I replied with: LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

      ReplyDelete
    36. I'm going to go with "Whatever Studio B / Hasbro has planned will be 100% awesome"...

      Basically nothing can be construed from 1/24 of 1 second out of a 22 minute TV show - and they know this. See the teasers for the second season for example.

      ReplyDelete
    37. Luna looks ridiculously fake here to the point where you'd actively have to be trying to believe it to be fooled.

      The lines are far too thick and don't match the color of the things they are outlining like the rest of the show. The face shape is jagged and horribly wrong. The mouth and eyes are not remotely in the show's style. The hair is wrong as well. The only thing that could possibly be from the show is the back portion of the robe (which could be modified from a Zecora vector or something).

      ReplyDelete
    38. The storyboard image looks legit, give it about a 50% at this point. Halloween episode would be fun tho'...

      The image with the balloon and the train? Not buying it at all. Far too easy for someone to do a little cut-and-paste, and then degrade the final image to try and hide the edit. Rubbish work.

      The Luna image - considering the source, I'm inclined to throw the BS flag on that one too. But it might just be the diamaond in the rough.

      Final verdict: Meh, we'll see. Not bothered.

      ReplyDelete
    39. Whatever is going on with Luna in that screencap, I approve!

      ReplyDelete
    40. Derpy in a storyboard looks legit, and I'm PUMPED for that, I don't know why they'd go through the trouble of saving Luna only to have her turn out evil, so I think that's fake, and the other one looks like the opening with a few things moved around and a train thrown in for good measure.

      ReplyDelete
    41. @RocRolDis

      That's actually a pretty cool name for an evil twin. Like how NMM 'annuled' Luna's love for Celestia.

      ReplyDelete
    42. IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL! WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!

      ReplyDelete
    43. Okay, what is with that image of Luna? I hope this isn't the Luna that I'm thinking of.

      ReplyDelete
    44. The newest image makes me think it's a halloween episode, that would explain your "evil" Luna too.

      ReplyDelete
    45. 90% of comments are about Luna, Not big surprise.

      I think that "Derpy reacts" has to do with Derpy looking down into the water, as there is a down arrow next to her head.

      Pretty sure that's Rarity. Not sure why it is formatted as such, but I have no idea what else (Ry) could mean.

      ReplyDelete
    48. Someone said the fourth episode is called "Nightmare Night" and features Luna...

      ReplyDelete
    49. http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/7741/snottrixie.jpg

      For all the haters!

      If you look closely neither the hair, the shape of her face, or the eye color matches with Trixie, but it does with Luna.

      If this pic isn't a fake, Luna confirmed for season 2!

      ReplyDelete
    50. I don't think the pony behind Derpy is Rarity. The eyes are completely the wrong shape - they're 'standard' circular instead of Rarity's opal-shaped eyes. And she's got too few eyelashes (although what a vampire-queen would be doing with fake eyelashes is anyone's guess).
      Also, Rarity wouldn't want to risk that beehive getting wet, especially as she'd have taken hours to get the thing just perfect for her, even if it doesn't fit her costume. A filly wouldn't really care that much, though, surely?

      I'm tempted to believe that that filly is just a normal 'background' filly, and Derpy just spoiled her fun. I would like it to be Dinky, but it is at least 50% unlikely.

      The other two, I'm unsure about. It does seem strange that images have been weaned so early to us if they are official, if not for hyping us up with LUUUUUUUUUUUNAAAAAAA.
      It could always be somebody in Hasbro snapping a picture of somebody else watching the actual episode, in which case, they are 100% legit.
      Once again, unlikely, but possible.

      The train does seem particularly odd, though, given that such a vehicle has never appeared in Ponyville itself.
      Oh, well. Merchandise opportunity!

      I'm going to reserve judgment on the 'screenshots' until the episode(s) airs, but I think that the storyboard image is more legitimate at the moment.

      ReplyDelete
    51. idk if the comment went through cuz my internets being bad right now but i hope to god that smile means a prank war for luna =(

      ReplyDelete
    52. It's Nightmare Night, right? Luna comes to Ponyville in 'evil' costume, Twilight sees her and lightning goes off in the background as she grins evilly and her eyes glow red and shit and frightening organ music plays in the background. Twilight says "N.. Nightmare Moon! She's Back!"

      THEN ADVERTS FOR 50 YEARS BECAUSE THE HUB HAS A LARGE AMOUNT OF ADVERTS FOR NO REASON!

      Then back to the show, where it repeats "N.. Nightmare Moon! She's Back!" with the organ music, which cuts out as Luna takes down the hood and is actually very eloquent and kind.

      Then she tries doing nice things to get rid of her bad rep but ponies run away and junk and Luna gets all sad and shit.

      Then THE SOLUTION happens, and Luna gets cheered and thanks Twilight and friends before leaving for Canterlot, and the moral is about not judging a book by it's cover.

      Calling it!

    53. HELLYEAH LUNA...is pulling a Zecora in that screenshot 0.o and Ponyville has a train omg

    60. Jedi Luna!( probably already said)
      We must find her a light saber!

      ReplyDelete
    61. Guessing they're fake, especially the train one...but even if the Luna pic's real, it could likely be from a piece of backstory, or some kind of dream/fantasy sequence. At any rate, I don't foresee her being evil again (or for too much longer...) Whatever happens with her, though, I have no fear of it being less than great and pleasing to us. Even if she's not exactly the way someone's imagined her.

    63. Also, judging from the Derpy storyboard, she's gonna be lovable retard/idiot/goofball Derpy in the official canon; And I fucking love that Derpy best. (Misunderstood single-mother Derpy? Fanon, get outta here, lol)

    70. Umm ok... Lesse here, all three pictures are too grainy to tell if they are fake or not.

      The intro pic actually looks legit for all you ppls calling shina.... shenani..... calling it fake!. But even to me, the Train really seems out of place. Unless the town grew reapidly in such a short period of time.... or they "Time Warp" a few years. The Derpy one..... pppppphHAHAHAHAHAH! She's the Paper Bag Monster! She hides in your Groceries bags and steals them when you are not looking!!! XD... Ok But seriously her pulling the Plug while she was bobbing for apples lol. She so Crazy! They filly may...JUST MAY!... be Dinky... or she also could be some random mad filly because she pulled the plug lol. As for Luna. I see....her talking to Celestia

      "Cele: Luna, Sister, I don't know about this...

      Luna: It's a party in Ponyville. This is just a little act to get everypony in the spirit of NightMare Night. Besides, you told me to get out of the castle and make some friends.

      Cele: Yes, little sister, But not like this. It has only been a year since the NightMare incident. Don't you think that this may be alittle extreme for the ponies in PonyVille?

      Luna: **Heehee** I'm going to give them a NightMare Night to remember! This is going to be so much fun. Besides, What could possibly go wrong?

      Celes: That's what I'm afraid of."

      All In All, I can't for the start of season Two.... the Actual start of Season Two. Now if you"ll Excuse me, I'm going to take a hammer to my keyboard because the Derpin' shift keys do not work on the Derpin keyboard! I have to use the programmable G12 for my shift key and its driving me DERPY! AHHHH!!! DON'T GET THE LOGITECH G110 KEYBOARD! **Grumbles** Excuse me...

      It may still just be an unofficial sketch but I strongly doubt it. :)

    73. It is probably the same Luna whose prank spell turned Celestia into a young filly.

      ReplyDelete
    74. I kinda hope they do make Luna evil just so I can laugh at all the butthurt the rabid fanbase will have because she didn't turn out as emo as all the fanfics wanted her to be.

    75. Why do you people like Luna so much?
      (Why do you people like background characters and single-episode ponies so much?)

      ReplyDelete
    76. I think that's how the ponies see Luna when she shows up (kinda like when they looked at Zacorra[sp?]), feeling scared remembering her as Nightmare Moon..

      ReplyDelete
    77. Ha! I knew it was Derpy not Dinky all along. take that people who called me obsessive!

      ReplyDelete
    78. My theory on Luna is that it starts off looking real, with Luna being all menacing and stuff, and then all of a sudden, Princess Celestia wakes her up to prepare for Nightmare Night and her trip to Ponyville. Cue opening theme.

      ReplyDelete
    79. I'm interested in this prankster angle they're pulling, I wonder what they're going to do with it.

    80. That is not a stallion. Trixie has a different face shape, and her eyelashes are peeking out from her cloak.

      ReplyDelete
    81. If that Luna pic is real, it's probably going to be a shot of her looking scary for a moment, but show her just smiling after the flash of lightning is gone.
