I made this gif to compare the differences in those promo posters.



Crowley's flaming carnation is curious. Not sure if that's purely Zeke, or Sam with the hint of Zeke. I think the former, but open to interpretation I suspect.

Posters-4

1: Prepare for the Fall
2: The Heavens have opened but Hell will reign.

Nice! I hadn't realised until I saw this that the angelic comet trails were closer to earth on the 2nd poster... Someone said the carnation is a symbol of love so it's odd to have Crowley holding it at all.

I just had a quick look and found this: In Portugal, bright red carnations represent the 1974 coup d'etat started by the military to end the fascist regime ongoing since 1926.
Light red carnations represent admiration, while dark red denote deep love and affection.
And in France carnations symbolize misfortune and bad luck.

I actually like the Portuguese one for Crowley and Abaddon!

Not really, especially since we know that the human part of Crowley only "wants to be loved." Having that symbol of love (if that's what it is) burst into flames, now, that is interesting. ;)

Oooh, interesting. I did a search on carnations a while back and didn't find anything nearly this interesting. The fascist regime is very cool. And of course the love part would be the deep need for love we know Crowley feels.

Ooooooo, AWESOMNITY!!!!

I've been looking at the promo pics in separate tabs and thought about posting them side to side to have them somewhere to compare them, but THIS IS INFINITELY BETTER. It's such a cool idea to have the promo poster change with what we learn and still tease us about what will happen.

And it seems like the angels aren't going to be the biggest threat after all? 9x02 and Abaddon and Dean's "gotta remember who the real monsters are" would sort of suggest that...

My heart is full of squee now! \o/ \o/

Yeah, I was thinking about doing the same and then thought I could use my vid program and my gif program and create a cross dissolve of the two. I didn't pick up the flame or the angels falling closer to the earth before I did this. :)

I think the demons are going to play a big part in this season too (though if they insist on punching instead of using their powers to fight Sam and Dean then they're not going to fair very well!)

Great work, bb! I hadn't noticed the angel trails, either. Curious. Now I really hope there's another poster (or three) in the series, because what happens when the trails hit the ground? And does Dean do any transforming of his own? Or Castiel?

Creation-wise, was "tweening" involved in this gif-ery? I think I see it when Sam's head turns. ;)

Oh wouldn't that be great! The poster changing as the season progresses. I'd love to see Cas change cloths and Dean...oh Dean...I can't even imagine what's in store for him this season.

OOh, what's tweening? I created a little vid with a cross dissolve in it and imported it into PS to make the gif. I am SURE there are better ways to do this but it's the only way I could work it out....;D

It's going to be an interesting season, that's for sure.

what's tweening?

From what I've seen, maybe "tweening" might be the one-button version of a cross dissolve. I found it by accident, by just clicking stuff to see what it did. ;) Adobe's explanation does kinda sound like a cross-dissolve, though.

Great work, my friend! And I hadn't noticed how much closer the angel trails were to earth in the second one. It seems clear that it's Sam in the first and Ezekiel in Sam in the second, enabling Sam to look ahead, scraggly, still healing wings behind him. I think I am really going to enjoy the myth arc this season.

Thanks bb! I remember thinking it was weird having Sam look down when the first poster came out. Now it makes sense! I am very excited with the myth arc this season (said with a little trepidation because who knows where they are going with this...*g*).

This is awesome! I hadn't notice so many changes in the two posters..really only the wings...but the carnation bursting into flames and so many other things really stand out in your gif. It really makes you wonder...

Thanks! The changes are indeed curious - especially Crowley's flower. I'm hoping we'll get another one as the season progresses. :)

It is! It's nothing I would have imagined they'd do. And so good they managed to keep Sam!ezekiel a secret.

I recon! Jared let slip to a few of us at Van that he was playing a couple of 'different versions of Sam' (as he said it) but we knew not to press, so I was waiting on tenderhooks to see what that turned out to be! And holy crap, I think he's marvellous as Ezekiel.

Hee...I could tell he was BUSTING to tell us (from the vids I've seen). I'm not surprised he let a little bit slip. I am loving him as Zeke. He's lucky to be given the opportunity to do different things while playing the same character (I'm hoping they give Jensen the same opportunity at some point...;D)

That's pretty cool. :)

As far as Sam and Zeke, I tend to think the former as well. Not just because of the wings in the shadow, but also the expression on Jared's face as well perhaps? Not sure but it is pretty cool.

Date: 2013-10-19 11:23 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] ash48.livejournal.com
Yeah - I think it's all Zeke. Jared's body language and facial expression is very different to Sam - but it could be a bit of both, that's for sure.

Thanks! :)

Out of curiosity, what do you think of the Ezekiel-is-Lucifer theory? I am sold on it at the moment, especially after Sam's speech at the end of 9.02. Sounds like what Lucifer might say if he was finally free after "forever" and saw his family and friends--fallen angels--around him. Also he'd be particularly content inside his true vessel, I imagine. It's especially interesting seeing as we're heading towards 2014, EndVerse time.

I haven't seen you mention this theory either to agree or disagree so I was wondering if you'd come across it? And your thoughts?

Hi!

I hadn't heard about the Ezekiel-is-Lucifer theory. Hmmmm...I can see that there would be quite a strong argument for that. I actually really like the idea, but I'm not sure the writers would be thinking along these lines. Sounds almost too complicated. A bit like the speculation last season that Amelia was someone/thing else last season.

My questions would be, could Lucifer play such a patient game (no gloating, being patient etc) and what about the broken wings? One could argue that he's somehow fought his way out of the cage (with Michael's help or hinderance maybe) and he's damaged. Another question would be...what's his endgame? Domination over earth, no doubt , but....hmmm.....I'll ponder that some more. I actually really like the theory. But...OMG! Dean would DIE if he knew he'd let Lucifer back into Sam. I think Sam might die too. It would certainly mean there's more to play with during the season than just the fall between Sam and Dean - and what Ezekiel is up to.

Curious...

thanks for sharing that. Not sure how I missed that one. ;)

It would be VERY interesting if the red carnation was somehow connected to that red rose that Lucifer touched in The End. Apparently there is speculation around that Ezekiel might actually be Lucifer. If he is then I could certainly see that connection.

Getting out of the cage would be a BIG one. And if he got out in a lame way (like Sam getting Bobby out of Hell) then it would make everything Sam (and Dean) went through to release him was for nothing (or it would lessen it). I rather doubt they're heading in that direction - but you never know.
