Cool poster. But Dragons missing from it.

They are like the others. Strange, hideous, resisting, fighting. Only these were not like the others. They did not die.

It's Aloysius according to the captions. Pretty cool that they would include all the background ponies in that poster. It makes me wonder how different the new season will be if they try to add more winks to the older fanbase.*

@Turnways Okay, I have to admit I snickered, but that was a bit of a cheap shot there.

I think Word Of God stated Owlowiscious at some point. However, the mention of Aloysius being in the captions makes me a little less sure. So either I'm wrong or the person doing the captions dropped the ball on that one.

Edit: Oops, got rid of errant arrows from before I checked back on what posts got in before me.

@Death Cloud: The person who made the poster wanted to include them and the Ursas, as well as everyone else from the first season, but size constraints and timelines prevented it.

Also, for anyone who cares, the same person has also stated that the inhabitants of the hot-air balloon are not Twilight and Spike.

#10880 Crowfall Wed, 20th Jul '11 1:04:57 PM

It's hard to make out the balloon's occupants, but it looks like one is purple and one is white. For a second I thought it might be Twilight's parents, but I looked them up and her dad is blue.

Don't fret over the Captions, they are usually farmed out, and may not even have access to the actual names and may end up spelling everything their own way.

Sometimes badly.

@Turnways Okay, I have to admit I snickered, but that was a bit of a cheap shot there.

What, the thing about a Bible Salesman? I wasn't making fun of anyone, or of religion itself. I was actually referring to a sort of con artist archetype character; specifically, see the short story Good Country People and the film O Brother, Where Art Thou?.

I just didn't pothole it because it looks like we do not, in fact, have a trope for that. And I don't know of a third example.

Want for poster is slightly diminished by the lack of a few choice and very, very background characters, but still, WAAAANT.

As for the whole Bible Salesman thing, given that Equestria knows who their goddess is, because she's the head of their freakin' government, selling bibles could be considered deceit in and of itself, couldn't it?

#10885 Death Cloud Wed, 20th Jul '11 1:59:29 PM

Still great poster even if it lack some background ponies to.

And I know who was in balloon.

Hm. Owlowiscious' name is based on the name Aloysius, which is pronounced 'aLOIshus', but his name's got a few more syllables floating around in the middle there, so the longer name's probably closer.

#10889 Bagof Magic Food Wed, 20th Jul '11 3:10:58 PM

OH! They mean like "Owl-o-wiscious"! I was reading it as "Owl-ow-iscious", and that made it sound too strange.

@Death Cloud: Okay, that's pretty hilarious.

Also, the poster is awesome. It kinda pisses me off though that it's a one-time-only thing. I mean, I live on the east coast, so there's no way I could possibly get one. If they put them up for sale I'd totally buy one.

So, who wants to make the Comic-Con poster the official picture for the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic article? I found a cleaned-up version on Neo GAF. http://imgur.com/gZhjI

We should probably leave the current image; it focuses on the most relevant characters, and while the poster is awesome, you wouldn't be able to see crap if we shrunk it down to page image size.

Here's how Faust says the owl's name is spelled.

I think I'm going to stick to calling it the owl.

I preferred it when we thought it was Aloysius.

But apart, all we are is just a pile of mush and some crumbly dry mess...

Just so I know, what's the fandom's stance on Owlowiscious? Do they hate him? like him? annoyed by him?

I'm a little irritated by him, he reminds me of Robot 1-X from Futurama

Can I call it "Owl of wishes"?

^^I'm okay with Owlowiscious, actually. He's pretty cute, and he helps Spike out.
