Good morning everypony. What's going on?

Yeah, Andromeda is heading for you. You got over 9000 years until it collides.

Talking about noir and Rainbow Dash, for some reason. I still don't think she would be a good batman.

Okay, I'll admit her hair is rather distinctive and would hamper any pursuit of a secret identity. I still maintain that while her short sightedness and impulsiveness wouldn't make her the ideal Private Dick, she still fits the mold set by Chandler and Hammett pretty well. In summation, no she wouldn't make a good super hero, this doesn't preclude her from starting a relatively successful detective agency.

Talking about season 3, if it was "supposed" to air in September, wouldn't we have heard about it by now? I forget who said that we would hear 4 weeks in advance before it aired.

I'm honestly expecting season three news to arrive within the next two weeks. Last year, it started on my birthday, which was September 17. This year my birthday is on a Monday, so if it is starting around the same time, I'd put it between the 15th and the 22nd of September. That's obviously just guessing on my part, but it's an educated guess.

@Drenius: Pinkie could work. Take her Pinkamena side, add a little of that 'I hate everything' vibe from her discorded self, and that's pretty good for a cynical, world-weary detective.

And thanks to Twi, she may have the investigative part down as well. She does have the 'aloholic' bit nailed (Blah blah cider blah blah).

I may not actually know how noir works.

Who knows, and could still be end of Sept and be 4 weeks. All we know for sure is the Crystal ponies DVD is set for a Dec release so those episode have to air before then. And Hasbro/Hub promised that new ponies would be on the menu sometime in 2012

Ponies in general visually wouldn't fit a noir setting, not just RD. That only makes it that much cooler to see it pulled off, IMO. Contrast is always great.

Also, I've noticed that we're starting to make "status update" posts again, as well as just random posts saying just "hi." We may want to cut down on that.

Some behind-the-scenes

(including What Could Have Been) regarding the "Chaos is Magic" poster

:

'Villain' Poster development:

Version 1:

Location - Everfree Forest

Story - Trixie has set up her stage show and is challenging the other 'villains' to a game of 'Anything you can do, The Great and Powerful Trixie can do better'. Discord is on the stage pulling a rabbit out of Trixie's hat (the rabbit in this case is Diamond Tiara with the bunny ears from Family Appreciation Day).

It was scrapped due to composition issues.

Version 2:

Location - Saloon in Dodge Junction

Story - The 'villains' are all gathered in a saloon. There is a stage in the corner with the Trixie/Discord gag from the first poster attempt. Flim and Flam are serving their Apple Cider at the bar. NMM, Chrysalis, Gilda and Iron Will are playing poker at one of the tables (Gilda is cheating to win). The Diamond Dogs are at another table counting gems. Garble is playing a piano (similar to when Spike did it in Over a Barrel).

It was scrapped because of the possible alcohol/gambling reference.

Version 3 (the one that ended up getting made at the end):

Location - Discorded Ponyville

Story - The 'villains' are gathered for a friendly group photo.

Note: It isn't really so much a 'villain' poster, it's more of a 'antagonist + monsters' poster, which allows for more characters in the poster and avoids the arguments of who really counts as an actual villain.

I would like to see those first few attempts.

If they have a 2 parter to start with again they'll probably air them on consecutive weeks and put a gap between those and the 3rd episode.

I may kick a puppy if they do that, regardless of the logic.

@Drenius: That is one butch Twilight.

@Blissey: We had a remix of a season 3 song within hours of its release. I'm sure they can cook up something.

"It was scrapped because of the possible alcohol/gambling reference."

And somehow entire episode about ponies drinking something what look like beer was aired.

Daw at Pinkie and Bubbles.

And as much as it'll annoy me, there probably will be a gap between the openers and the first 'normal' episode.

Ugh. I hope they don't lengthen the gap because the season is shorter.

@Death Only that in North America it really isn't, and they weren't in a bar setting like the poster it would have been.

#265373 Drenius Mon, 6th Aug '12 7:47:26 AM from Northern Virginia

The possibility of a gap between the two-part opener and the third episode would be pretty irritating. Hopefully, it wouldn't last too long if they decide to go that route.

#265374 Perpetual Lurker Mon, 6th Aug '12 7:48:39 AM

Meh, after a certain point, waiting stops being painful. It's not like I don't get my daily dose of pony from writing, anyway. Everyone is always so pessimistic and grouchy about these things. So long as we know that it's coming, that's good enough for me.

I always wonder at the logic of these 'group shot' promotional artworks. I mean, it's set up like a photo shoot and yet barely anyone is actually looking at the camera.

Yeah, I'll live. Just a bit annoying sometimes.
