'DAT SEASON TWO!
ReplyDeletedat facial expression
ReplyDeleteThe GREAT and POWERFUL Trevor wants season two already!
ReplyDeleteI swear my anticipation is going to kill me.
ReplyDeleteWooooow we get to see more of the Castle interior too! So much win.
ReplyDeleteHOLY BREAKING NEWS.
ReplyDelete!Le Gasp! Discord and a doppelganger spell
ReplyDeleteOHMYGOSH OHMYGOSH OHMYGOSH OHMYGOSH OHMYGOSH!!!!
ReplyDeleteTilty-cam, activate!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Twilight had a twin sister.
ReplyDeleteCan´t wait for season 2!!!
ReplyDeletedamn it, stop making us want season 2 to come even faster. the wait's already torturous
ReplyDeleteduring the summer, knowing it was gonna be a few months till season 2 made the wait less painful, now that its so close, like BND said, the anticipation is literally killing us
ReplyDeleteI see Twi has been taking lessons from Pinkie Pie! AWESOME. /)^3^(\
ReplyDeleteLe gasp!
ReplyDeleteMy god, its beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWILD MASS GUESSING!!!! NOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!
ReplyDeleteSquee! I can't wait until Season Two! :D
ReplyDeleteThat first one will be the same scene as the one with Celestia from the fall lineup ad. It explains where Twilight and Dash were in that scene: behind Celestia's ginormous rear end.
ReplyDeleteThat second one reveals that Twilight has finally cracked the secret of Pinkie's powers and has combined them with her own formidable abilities to become as a GODDESS. Truly, the end is neigh.
Why so low-res? D:
ReplyDeleteQuick, someone vectorize these!
Double Twilight?
ReplyDeleteDOUBLE TWILIGHT!
CTHULHU HAS AWOKEN
ReplyDeletePh'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn
My god, it's full of stars! I can see into forever! MY EYEEESSSS!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think it's going to be right after Celestia opens the doors and presents them the place where Discord was imprisoned, that would make sense!
ReplyDeletelol, in image 6, Applejack has derp eyes
ReplyDeleteGood god, why is always when its time for sleep that season2 stuff happens! I'll blame ED when I fall asleep and my car goes in the ditch tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteNah, it would be so worth it!
DOUBLE TWILIGHT ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE FARM
ReplyDeleteJesus, I'm afraid the premiere of season two will cause a major epidemic of heart attacks from the excitement.
ReplyDeleteWHY MUST YOU TEASE US!
ReplyDeleteOr maybe not really, maybe it will show a place where there were supposed to be elements of harmony? Or corrupted elements of harmony?
ReplyDeleteEpic analysis time! Why would the mane six looks so worried in Celestia's castle in an episode where Discord is set free? It obviously is an expression of fear as they step backwards.
Maybe paintings on a wall showing the story of when Discord was last time free and how he was imprisoned? It has to be related to something they saw, but what?
Oh no Its a Trap!
ReplyDeleteYay! Multiple Twilights! I call dibs on one of them!
ReplyDeletelet the double Twilight fics begin!
ReplyDeleteMultiple Twilights? I see a TwilightxTwilight shipping coming....
ReplyDeleteAww, mlp201_Cast_worried.jpg is the only MLP image they added today. The rest were all added on May 23rd (media/cache/ugc/photos/slideshow_image/ allows indexes).
ReplyDeleteCelestia with bed hair
ReplyDeleteSame scene as the last preview
@Cyber.Kuriboh That's already happened, but not with two of pony Twilight. If you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteOh, whoops, didn't even realize that there was one more new screenshot at the source. Let's see what we can derive from this picture... Hmm, it seems etiquette does not demand that a pegasus land to kneel before the Princesses, a simple bowed head is acceptable. And one wonders about Spike not bowing at all.
ReplyDeleteThose guards...
ReplyDeleteTwilight everywhere in this bitch
ReplyDeleteWow, it looks like the animators are really trying to surpass themselves this season...I'M SO GIDDY
ReplyDeleteCan't freaking wait for season 2! My homepage right now is ponycountdown.com. So excited! :D
ReplyDelete@Krizak lol your comment cracked me the hell up!
ReplyDeleteSeptember 17th, 2011: the day of the worst nuclear meltdown to date. The meltdown was caused by drastically low water pressure, preventing sufficient amounts of water to flow through the coolant pipes in the nuclear power plant.
ReplyDeleteThis event coincided with a commercial during the airing of the first episode of the second season of the cartoon My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, as the entire fanbase of the popular show for little girls (mostly grown men) went to the bathroom and flushed their toilets simultaneously.
And my birthday ends with but a shimmer of a glimpse of Season 2! How wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOkay, first is clearly reacting to Celestia's badass door opening.
ReplyDeleteClone Twilight is likely just moving really really Pinkie Pie fast.
I was half as hyperactive as Pinkie Pie 4 minutes ago, I must've heard this news subconsiously or something.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, btw, SPECULATION TIMES EVERYPONY!
ReplyDeleteO_O can't wait. Seriously, I've never looked forward to a show like this (because Animaniacs, Ducktales, Talespin, and Darkwing Duck ended before I understood the concept of "television seasons".) This is just too cool.
ReplyDelete@David Reinold
ReplyDeleteDon't expect the same kind of attention to detail beyond episode 1 and 2. Studio B only did the two parter, Top Hat took care of the animation for the other 24 episodes.
Next time on friendship is magic...
ReplyDeleteThe ponies walk in on luna... Naked!................................................................................................................ (Socks make ponies look more naked.)
I bet Twilight did a cloning spell so she could work twice as hard while doing things with her friends and having time to study magic? :P
ReplyDeleteThe "double Twilight" picture is old. Like, from before the show aired.
ReplyDeleteIt's not from an actual episode. It was meant to demonstrate how ponies look close up versus far away. :)
What a long ass corridor...
ReplyDeleteIt is only a few more days.... i can make it
ReplyDeleteLook what I just found lying around...
ReplyDeletehttp://press.discovery.com/media/ugc/photos/mlp201_Cast_worried.jpg
3600x2025 of pure season 2 awesomeness. I think this means the show is at least that resolution before export.
double twilight... so intense
ReplyDelete@Party_Grunt
ReplyDeleteYou're my hero XD.
EVERY SINGLE SECOND IS FULL OF PAIN UNTIL SEPTEMBER 17
ReplyDeleteMy body is so ready for season 2! But it cannot handle the wait!
ReplyDelete@Alexstrazsa
ReplyDeleteThat's an old pic, probably made before Season 1. You'll notice a certain pony's wings are missing
Hahaha! That is from one of my sequences! tee hee heeeee
ReplyDelete@Brian
ReplyDeleteDid Top Hat do any episodes last season? I can't remember.
In any case, just to say this again: holy SHIT, that is some amazing Flash animation.
@Alexstrazsa
ReplyDeleteGood catch, I wonder what the one beyond Rainbow Dash is supposed to be.
@Sabrina Alberghetti
ReplyDelete...you know that game mechanic in Left 4 Dead where you shoot a car with flashing lights and set off the alarm, and a vast horde of raving, slobbering, hive-minded beasts comes tearing out at you from every direction?
That's essentially what you've just done. Hope you brought extra ammo. o.0
@Aquaman52
ReplyDeleteSeveral, the only ones I can say for sure though are Over a Barrel and The Cutiemark Chronicles. I think they did about half the season.
Time. Y U no go faster?
ReplyDeleteMe Gusta
ReplyDeleteEven if it's barely three images, i literally gasped at the sight of this mere sight of gasping ponies. you almost freaked me out thinking episode 1 leaked already!!
ReplyDeleteDat high res image.
ReplyDeleteAlso, dat clipping on the tops of the windows. First errors of season 2? :P
@Brian
ReplyDeleteOh. Well, that's okay, then. I was just afraid it was some brand-new company that would come in and screw everything up. XD Those episodes were two of my favorites anyway.
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDelete@ Sabrina
ReplyDeleteDo you only comment when theres season 2 news?! jk I love you and your work.
Man every single time an image of season 2 comes out, everybody freaks out and posts it everywhere. XD When the actual episode comes we'll post every frame of the episode.
ReplyDelete@Aquaman52
ReplyDeleteErr, I meant to say Top Draw did every third episode! They've done a fair bit of work on the first season. :)
@Mr.MooMoo
ReplyDeleteWell I thought it was cool, especially since it was one of the parts I did...
:)
Goddamit Sep. 17th! Come faster!
ReplyDelete@Alexstrazsa
ReplyDeleteI'm actually wonder how involved they are with the story... or are they just cool ideas for cool designs to be put in the background for the sake of appearance?
@Aquaman52
ReplyDeleteHey, I didn't publish the post...only my mere excitement! :D
Inafter everyone going absolutely crazy. lol
ReplyDeleteIt's funny...we've been waiting since May for new episodes. Months pass...the summer (or winter in the southern hemisphere) has come and is nearly gone. Since May 6th, we've very patiently waited 125 days.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how just 10 more days feel terribly arduous...
Did anypony else notice that the mane 6 are actually in the rightmost stained-glass window?
ReplyDeleteThe second picture looks a little... Strange. If you told me it was created with a background and vectors of Twilight, I would fully believe you.
ReplyDelete@Party_Grunt
ReplyDeleteThose stain glass windows are awesome... the one on the far right is the scene from episode 2 where the elements are blasting nightmare moon!
Also, on the left wall.. looks like maybe a griffin is using what almost looks like the CMC as puppets. Just switch the colors of the pegasus and the earth pony and it would be a perfect match.
And in the time it took me to type this out with all my distractions, I'm sure these have all been noticed several times.. ah well, who cares! Thanks again for the high res screen shot, it is amazing!
@cousin it
ReplyDeleteI actually d'awwed at that. Celestia must have commissioned it to commemorate the event.
Effffffff! 10 days is going to be pleasant wait indeed!
ReplyDelete@cousin it
Wow. Now that I'm seeing it, those guys put in a lot of detail in those stained-glass windows.
@Sabrina Alberghetti
ReplyDeleteI keed.
Why wub woo.
/typing like I can't speak English properly for some reason
QUICK, CUE THE FANFICTION!
ReplyDeleteZOOM AND ENHANCE!
ReplyDelete*Party_Grunt comments*
Why, thank you! :V
@Sabrina AlberghettiCan you tell me if the resolution of the picture I found (3600x2025) is the actual resolution you all work in during production? Or is this a one off upscale for press purposes?
ReplyDelete@Sabrina Alberghetti I now know you have made some of the animation in this show, Prepare for non-opional hugs! *big hug*
ReplyDeleteLooks exciting, and a little over a week to go. :D
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone spotted a glitch-up at the right side? It's at the top right side where you can see the blue window, but it's rendered pretty weirdly. Oh wait, hold the hooves - I'm seeing a bit of a crash there!
ReplyDeletethat strange creature in the windows, lets take a look. in the one where he is in full color, he seems to be a dissonant mishmash of different creatures.
ReplyDeletehe almost fits the description of a mythological chimera. in the one behind it with the puppetstrings, if looked closely, it seems to be that same creature above the 3 ponies. controlling them in some sort of lotus eater and/or inescapable nightmare.
then it's presumably celestia and luna "defeating it" and it looks like it is turned to stone (fits the description of discord.)"
So what I'm guessing is that:
Discord is a Chimera. he can cause hallucinations and visions to trap and control other ponies, and he was set into stone by the royal sisters before luna's rebellion.
also look at luna's horn in the window of them defeating him. is that twilight's cutie mark I see? or is that just the universal symbol for magic which twilight's mark is based off from?
I bet Discord is some kind of dragon-thing, and the princesses managed to imprison him before. When he's out, he takes control of whatever ponies he can find, hence the puppet strings and all, as well as messing up the balance of things. That's all I can get out of the windows.
ReplyDelete@Party_Grunt
ReplyDeleteNice find! The same URL pattern works for the other season 2 image in the set, too: http://press.discovery.com/media/cache/ugc/photos/slideshow_image/My_Little_Pony.jpg
@Krizak
ReplyDeleteWell then it makes sense why Dash is not looking in the same direction as the others.
The rest are looking at what was behind the door.
Dash is staring at Celestia's plot.
cannot wait! FUCK I CANNOT WAIT ANYMORE!!!!
ReplyDeleteGUYS GUYS, LOOK AT THE WINDOWS, THERES A WEIRD DRAGON LOOKING THING ON THEM. DISCORD MAYBE? I THINK ITS A GOOD THEORY.
ReplyDelete@mycutiemarkisagun
ReplyDeleteNO ITS WORST!
YOG-SOTHOTH HAS AWOKEN.
September 17 2011. The day the internet crashed.
ReplyDelete@ThemsAllTook
ReplyDeleteJust noticed after I linked this, you can see in the larger version that Rarity appears to be wearing her element of harmony necklace (or something that looks very similar). None of the other mane 6 are wearing theirs, though.
Ok trolling aside, look at the third window on the left, it looks like ponys on puppet strings, i theorize that discord can take control of ponies. maybe thats why rainbow dash is so grey.
ReplyDeleteHex@!
ReplyDeleteThis *squee* is nerve killing.
@ThemsAllTook
ReplyDeleteit could just be rarity wanting to dress up for going to the palace if none of the others have their necklace
Oh my God! Rainbow's hair is still rainbow! WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE?!
ReplyDeletePeople will start vectorizing these in 3... 2...

ReplyDeleteWelp! Time to go crazy! <3
ReplyDeleteI likey the screenshot!
ReplyDeleteWOO WOO!
@ThemsAllTook Thats only for the slide show size pics. The other is from the main pic directory (its a mess in there). It was only added 10 last night, so theres nothing Season 2 related other than what we've seen.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if anypony still wants hub confirmation of Sep 17th at 9am
http://press.discovery.com/media/ugc/highlights/The_Hub_September_2011_Highlights.pdf
Just scroll down to the 17th.
When did this turn into Cloverfield? So much viral marketing for a show about ponies.

http://press.discovery.com/media/ugc/photos/mlp.jpg
for what it's worth
Middle pane on either side- what looks like a dragon with mismatched limbs. In another pane Celly and Luna turned it white. In the one behind Dash, you can see it apparently controlling ponies like marionettes...
ReplyDeleteFillies and gents, I think we may have a Discord.
Yes, but more interesting is that each side has the same first two stained glass images, going in opposite order. On the left side there appears to be three ponies being puppets (but encapsulated, so probably not actually physically manipulated by string, perhaps mind control) over a fire in the place of where on the right the mane 6 are defeating nightmare moon. Might be foreshadowing considering the whole grey Rainbow Dash thing.
ReplyDeleteAlso, it seems a white dragon was important in the initial Luna/Celestia balance and an orange one was important in some other way later on, tho I can't quit figure out what is going on in that one.
@Logan Warner
ReplyDeleteI've been so ninja'd I can't even find the post I was replying to.
I also like that the Mane 6 in their pane have little Catholic-y halos around their heads. Pretty neat.
ReplyDelete@Alexstrazsa
ReplyDeleteI was just about to point that out. I wonder if this part of the castle is new, or if the window is new. Maybe there was a prophesy. Maybe it is just an Easter egg. Who knows?
@Logan Warner
ReplyDeletewhite = turned to stone?
Just like to point out that the manes on "Celestia" and "Luna" are different colors then what we saw in the story book from the pilot that had roughly the same style.
ReplyDeleteWhat if these are different Alicorns?
Why is this one not in the main post?
ReplyDeletehttp://press.discovery.com/media/ugc/photos/My_Little_Pony.jpg
This seems brand new and really really important.
Man that hallway is detailed.
ReplyDeleteAnd one more:
ReplyDeletehttp://press.discovery.com/media/ugc/photos/001_l03_ext_big_apple_orchard_picnic_area.jpg
@Adrian Brony
ReplyDeleteTurning to stone is traditionally gray, like Fluttershy with the cockatrice. I think that Dragon or whatever it is is or was in some way important to the Luna/Celestia balance. Perhaps it created the world or upset the balance between them causing Nightmare Moon to be.
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDelete@Adrian Brony that's my first guess. Or some other form of incapacitation.
ReplyDeletedat castle...
ReplyDeleteSO MUCH DETAIL!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
*head explodes into cloud of rainbows*
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletedid I do the @ thing wrong? :X -is noob-
ReplyDeleteSo apparently Discord has:
ReplyDeleteA Pegasus Wing
A fiendish wing
A Horse Hoof
A Reptile Leg
A Dragon Tail
Lion's Paw
Eagle talon
A fur torso
An antler
A horn
And all multicolored... er... wut
@Party_Grunt
ReplyDeleteWhat's with that freaky thing portrayed on the stained glass. That freaky gryphon, dragon, and pony hybrid.
On second thought, those odd limbs definitely man that is Discord, but I still think that Discord is actually not being imprisoned in the first pane, as it looks like that is the start, and it looks like Discord doesn't cause anything bad until the second (perhaps on the bottom those are the sun and moon, corrupted.)
ReplyDeleteIf this is true, Discord is definitely responsible for Nightmare Moon, as the Discord puppetry and Nightmare Moon defeat are both in the third place.
@Ronic
ReplyDeletePerhaps Discord is a shapeshifter?
I guess the Mane 6 are considered to be national heroes by the rest of Equestria or something, by season 2, considering that there is a stained glass window of them defeating Nightmare Moon, in the palace.

ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDelete@pranksterpinkiepie
ReplyDeletedohohohohoho that makes it a lot less silly than a multi-limbed rainbow chinese dragon
Chimera?
ReplyDeleteAlso noting that the manipulated ponies are a pegasus, a unicorn, and an earth pony as well as a trio of rings around NMM.
@TehTrojanPony I think that was a prophecy that was foretold eons ago. I doubt that stain glass image of them defeating Nightmare Moon is new, its probably always been there.
ReplyDelete@EvilHom3r Thats every last pony pic I found. I think they only have those gallery pics. Other than the season 2 pic, there's not too much exciting other than a few full res (but low quality) shots from some season 1 stuff. That includes the latest pic seth added. (The date on it is from Feb 1)
ReplyDeleteWait...how can that Chimera be Discord? Wasn't Discord supposed to be an Alimony.
ReplyDeleteAlso, something I have noticed that I havn't seen any comments on: in the image with them bowing to Celestia, it appears to show the solar system. Apparently it is heliocentric after all, and Equestrian!Venus has rings, and there are two Equestrian!Mercuries...very interesting and makes at least one fanfic I read (involving a human in Equestria via failed warp drive) wrong (it stated the Equestrian solar system to not be heliocentric.)
ReplyDelete@Benschachar
ReplyDeleteDiscord owes his ex-wife money?
That fiend!
@pranksterpinkiepie
ReplyDeleteDISCORD IS AKU.
http://animowane.pl/img/Samuraj_Jack/Aku.jpg
@Adrian BronyI think you may have hit the nail right on the head there. NICE analyzing!! :D Discord is a chimera = exactly what I was thinking. Something Sibsy said on her dA suggested that he isn't a pony, that that makes it even more likely.
ReplyDeleteIn the two pictures where he's white, I'm guessing he was turned to stone. After all, 'stone prison' could simply mean that he's encased in stone, obviously.
I second your theories, and can't wait to see what it turns out to be!!
Hahahaha, let the flowing of the saliva commence! All of this speculating is pure entertainment.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I realize now that I must someday create a replica of said Elements of Harmony stained-glass window in my own future custom home. I'm thinking it would go perfectly in the study.
Alicorn... damnit, brain.
ReplyDeleteHOLY FUCK DAT CASTLE INTERIOR
ReplyDeleteThat is so intensely detailed! For a moment I thought the ponies had been 'shopped into a photo or something.
Wow, I've never been blown away by sets and/or backgrounds before. Gigantic props to the designers who crafted the backdrop for that scene!
@DaDashMan
ReplyDeletethere is no reason Celestia couldn't have commissioned it as thanks.
Ummm...am I the only one that noticed the Mane 6 in the stained class in the gasping pic?
ReplyDeleteWhat does it mean?!
Oh wait... I just noticed it's them and NMM.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Celestia got it made after it happened maybe?
Am I the only one that notices that in the First photo (would be the 3rd one on here) That only Rarity is wearing her Element necklace?
ReplyDeleteI reckon Discord is some sort of dragon... third window on the right has luna and celestia rotating around a white dragon.
ReplyDelete@Ronic
ReplyDeletehe looks just like a normal dragon to me
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletehttp://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/54793
ReplyDeleteActually I changed my mind again, the panels on the left are telling a story from farthest to nearest. I still don't think Discord is being turned to stone, maybe just having power drained (and that would then be the origin of Luna and Celestia's power over the heavens.) I definitely like the idea that Discord is Equestria's creator, while also being its worst enemy.
Conventionally, isn't a chimera a lion with a snake's tail and a goat head?
ReplyDelete-looks again-
Hm. I guess I could see that on Discord. Just more dragony than normal. I tend to equate chimerae and manticores, which is why I doubted.
Anyone else notice that the Mane 6 have their own tapestry? (First image, far right)
ReplyDeleteThey're legends! (That, and there's some really good attention to detail on the part of the people who work on the backgrounds.)
fuck sake with that castle interior I got a huge vibe of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mc7BCZFP9Ww
ReplyDeleteseriously love the stained glass, I wonder if they are just decoration or does it has a meaning
seriously the one on the right with puppet strings behind dashie (looks like that to me)
the one with luna and celestia surrounding that....thing
the mane 6 vs nightmare moon
too damn awesome I may want to make my own stained glass replica of the mane 6 if possible
SO EXCITED!
I wonder could discord be a shape shifting being?
I don't want to speculate but damn DAMN YOU CREATORS WHY YOU MAKE THE WAIT SO DIFFICULT!
@Forty2
ReplyDeleteAlready mentioned, but only once or twice so far.
I think it's a wonderful detail that the animators have included. In-universe, it shows that the Mane Six were credited with their actions in the Season One two-parter - contrary to what some people believed/feared. And are probably going to become the stuff of legends in generations to come.
Doesn't that fill your diabetes-stricken heart with pride for our favourite marshmallow equines?
@mikey_the_fox
ReplyDeleteYeah, what's up with that?
I'm really impressed by the amount of detail the background artists put into this screen alone. It's great to see that the Mane 6 have their own mural, sealing their place in Equestrian history.
ReplyDeleteDiscord looks like he's going to be a fun character. A creature with the looks of a dragon that has the potential (possibly) to shape shift and control ponies at will (the marionettes). I'm really excited for this.
Did anyone notice in the scene with the mane 6 bowing, that Rarity is wearing a necklace? One of the elements perhaps?
ReplyDeleteOh Sweet merciful awesomeness!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool!
I haven't anticipated a show's season premiere like this since, well, ever.
ReplyDeleteThe 19th can't get here soon enough.
OH GOD I"M SO EXCITED! ARRIVE FASTER THE 17TH! I CAN'T WAi-ow ow cramp in my foot, cramp in my foot...
ReplyDelete@Logan Warner
ReplyDeleteDiscord as the Demiurge of Equestria?
Could work. Many portrayals of such are often weird hybrid animal thingies.
anyone notce them in the STAINED GLASS in the first shot...to the left....
ReplyDeleteneed time machine for viewing of season 2
lol @ Spike in the third picture. SPIKE BOWS TO NOPONY
ReplyDeleteThis is off topic but...I just realized 40 million views will nearly coincide with season two! That would be awesome. If only it didn't feel so far away!
ReplyDelete@DaDashMan
ReplyDeleteYou would think if that stained glass window showing the Mane 6 had been there all along it would have been noticed by Twilight, who grew up in the castle, or at least visited often.
I find the leaded glass or whatever it is on the walls behind the mane six in the first pic much more interesting. The one in the back on left? Are those ponies being controlled like marionettes?
ReplyDeleteThis is exciting for sure.
ReplyDelete...BUT WHERE THE HELL IS LUNA?! >_<
Agreed @ seniumboy
ReplyDeletewow... no luna... confound it! I want main character to not disappear after 2 part episodes!!!!
D:< Luna better save everyone from this "new" bad guy... and we also better get some more positive portrayals of male figures...
I find interesting the one where Discord stands over both the sun and moon...
ReplyDeleteMiddle left BTW.
Speculate?
HEELLLOOOOOOO New desktop wallpapers!
ReplyDelete@XerrolAvengerii
ReplyDeletewell these were supposed to be season one episodes, and Faust already said that she would be season 2, so I wouldn't be surprised if luna isn't in this.
HOLY SHIT - IN THE PONIES GASPING PIC LOOK AT THE STAINED GLASS WINDOW ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT!
ReplyDeleteIt's been noticed.
ReplyDeleteWhat hasn't been is Discord dancing above the sun and the moon as they lie under his feet.
Does anyone else notice the Rainbow Dash's missing nose hole?
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling myself like the Doctor. Spoilers of the future everywhere! :O
ReplyDeleteNever, never visit EqD before the second season is on air
So, here's a question for everypony *going with the prevalent 'Discord is a chimera vibe in this thread):
ReplyDeleteAre you calling Discord a chimera because you really think he may be one, or because that word got planted into your head because of the poll we had a week ago?
Also, is Sethisto laughing manically because he knew that was what Discord was going to be, because of insider knowledge, or is he amazed that a seemingly random mythological creature he chose turned out to maybe be a correct choice for the poll after all?
Look at the tapestry to the right of fluttershys head THE MAGICS!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe detail in the first pic is AMAZING. Absolutely incredible.. the stained glass...
ReplyDeleteAlso if that is in fact Discord in the stained glass, he looks terrifying! In a like, insane way, with those eyes.
Also... DAT RESOLUTION O_O
@MisterTTG
ReplyDeleteI think only Ponies bow to Celestia. They are her subjects, Dragons are not.
wow, creepy!
ReplyDeletelook at the stained glass in the very back at the far left of the hall way. You see various ponies in discord with marionette strings and handles floating above them O.o
When I saw the tapastry on the wall I thought it was the nightmare moon story (how horrible would that be for luna to have her failures embroidered on the wall...), but it looks like some sort of dragon sealing story... is Discord a dragon?
ReplyDeleteDo FiM dragons have crazy mismatched features?
ReplyDeleteNo.
He isn't a dragon, though he may be partially a dragon considering his mix of traits.
@Logan Warner It is entirely possible that while the majority of the Equestrian Solar System is Heliocentric, the the sun and it's satellites rotate around Equestria... just a thought...
ReplyDeleteWe're going to break the internet on either the night before or the night after season two premieres.
ReplyDeleteholy fucking shit that level of detail is astonishing
ReplyDeletehow long has that stained glass representation of the mane six confronting nightmare moon been in the castle, do you suppose
also: is discord some sort of chimera? I was wondering why that was an option for best monster in that poll...
Somehow I always used to think the princess' throne was outdoors.
ReplyDeleteFascinating exercise in intelligence analysis, great to read all the interesting theories (I probably wouldn’t have even looked that close!).
ReplyDeleteMy take:(assuming you can read the ‘windows’ in the direction the mane 6 appear to be traveling, ie distant to closest)
On the viewer’s left:
1: ‘Dragon thing’ controlling ponies of all types via mind control; the fire and the body attitudes suggests pain or fear as the control mechanism.
2: ‘Dragon thing’ dancing/ posing over the sun/ moon, suggesting domination/ victory.
3: ‘Dragon thing’ being defeated/ imprisoned by Luna/ Celestia.
On the viewer’s right:
1: ‘Dragon thing’ fighting/ controlled/ imprisoned by Luna/ Celestia.
2: ‘Dragon thing’ dancing/ posing over the sun/ moon, suggesting domination/ victory. Considering image R3 suggests breaking free?
3: Mane 6 defeating NMM.
Notes:
Images L2 and R2 are almost identical, as are L3/ R1.
I suspect both ‘stories’ are commemorative. Assuming the ‘dragon thing’ is Discord it could be a literal multipart entity, a shape shifter (seems more likely) or simply that it’s part of everything.
Agreed, the internets will fall...
ReplyDeletethank GOD i have the hub....
Dam, every pic we are given, we check every detail so well, i bet mr. Holmes would have been proud.
for all we know, discord IS "STARING" at them in the gasping pic.
this is wallpaper material btw.
yeah, I've got it set as my wallpaper already. GOD SO EXCITED
ReplyDeleteAW SHIT WE GONNA GET FUCKED UP ON THE 17TH
ReplyDeleteWhat I find more interesting in this picture is the globe. Do we now show the map of Equestria or is it a world map?
ReplyDeletePerhaps this can also be interpreted as that Luna and Celestia created Discord to perhaps rule over something - but he started to control the ponies and they sent him away?
Damn, the first picture has a window painting with the mane6 as holy! from when they got the Elements of Harmony! EPIC!
