[crossroads-of-the-raven]

Now that we're in October, I'm gonna go ahead and make a few predictions concerning Murder Drones.

This is about the third vinyl disk - the one that's gonna have Bite Me on it.

First - I think Glitch is gonna dedicate October to the next Digital Circus episode which is why I believe the next Murder Drones Vinyl disk commercial is coming out in November; just in time for the Holiday season. (Also, the first was for Valentine’s day, the second was for summer break, so the third is probably going to be for the winter holidays).

Second - the Murder Drone vinyl commercial is gonna have singing in it. Listen we had Cyn singing in the first commercial and NUzi singing in the second; we are getting singing in the third one.

Third - and y'all might laugh but V is gonna get hurt in the third commercial. Look, I'm being serious, we had Cyn kicking her into the stratosphere in the Valentine’s day commercial and Uzi beating the stuffing out of her for interrupting the NUzi date. In the third commercial V is gonna get attacked by someone. And I think I know who. (Unless Glitch decide to have her win this time).

Okay delulu time: What do I think we might get in the next merch drop.

Well first, obviously the Third Vinyl Disk.

Second though, (and here is where the delulu kicks in) I think we might finally get our Doll plush (and Doll might be the one to attack V this time, or try to).

Failing that, we might get a new Uzi plush, this time with yellow to purple ombre eyes and a yellow eyed Cyn tail (bow may be sold separately).

Third, Animinis series two, featuring the following possible characters (remember there can only be nine, I'm just laying out possibilities and personal desires):

Prom N and Prom Uzi (sold separately *sad face*)

Episode 8 Uzi (with yellow to purple ombre eyes and Cyn tail)

Maid V, Maid J (and or Eldritch J - maybe Butler N)

Glitchy Shadow Tessa and Maid Cyn (eldritch manor Cyn could also be a possibility)

Khan (*distant sounds of pleading can be heard*)

Thad and Lizzy

Cabin Fever Nori, Yeva and Alice (*even more pleading can be heard*)

And finally, Sparky the Sentinel, Beau and the Teacher (because IDK, he was voice by Liam Vickers - also, PLEASE GIVE US BEAU!)

Lastly, what else do I think might be in the merch drop (basically praying in the chat):

A while back, the artist who made the Murder Drone hanging keychains released some unused concept art of the Cabin Fever Girls as keychains (ft. Beau with the Alice keychain) so basically I'm hoping that Glitch finally makes these keychains available for purchase.

Listen, I know Alice and Beau have the horror movie poster and it's beautiful but come on, I can't be the only one who want merch of Beau and the Ladies of Cabin Fever (Yeva doesn't even have any merch).

MAKE IT HAPPEN GLITCH! (please *puppy eyes*).

Anyway, those are my predictions, comment what y'all think and what you want in the merch drop and maybe our collective desires will reach the Glitch marketing team (being delulu again).

P.S. or the merch drop or a seprate merch drop could happen in February next year ... IDK.

P.P.S. Also predicting a cute NUzi moment in the commercial, okay, now I'm done.

Just a Little Something about 017 Alice and the Solver | Murder Drones

Do you see what I see?

No ... hm ... look a little closer

Can you see it now? ... no ... really? ... okay.

Let's look a little closer.

It's blurry but can you see it now? ... hm

Hey look, she has a tail!

I guess Alice really did have a solver ...

Bonus:

Do you know what those numbers behind Nori says?

It's binary ...

Just a Little Something about Doll's Parents | Murder Drones

So uh ... this isn't perfect but I noticed something interesting.

First - THIS IS A GENERAL CALL TO ARTISTS WHO LIKE TO DRAW THE DOOMED RUSSIAN BOT FAMILY

IDK who cares but I was looking at the group photo that Khan shows to Uzi in episode 4.

Even though it's a black and white photo, you can still make out Yeva's red eyes and Nori's purple.

So I thought ... hey I wonder if Yeva's Husband (who I call Dmitri Nikolai) has a different eye color or if it's white like Khan's - so I took a color swatch from the parent's eyes and discovered ...

So it's really washed out and quality could probably be better but apparently Dmitri has green eyes.

Meh, ya'll probably already knew this but *shrug*

Do with this, what you will.

Dumb joke below:

Yeva is red and Dmitri Nikolai is green

Christmas parents = Christmas Doll

Just a Little Something about how long Zane was dead for in Ninjago between Season 3 and 4

In Ninjago Decoded Zane said that he downloaded all 74 episodes plus the holiday special of Jay's game show, 'The Ultimate Ninja Challenge' (a.k.a 75 episodes)

Taking in the schedules for American Ninja Warrior and Wipeout, which appear to be the inspiration for Jay's game show.

American Ninja Warrior is a half hour long show that airs four episodes in a day and another four the following week as a full season (at least when it first came out, IDK about now).

Wipeout is an hour long show (with commercials) that airs a new episode, once a week.

Understanding these two details:

At Most - eight episodes per season, at one season per year with 75 episodes total equals a little more then 9 years (to be precise, 9 complete seasons with 3 episodes of the tenth being aired)

At Least - one episode per week with 75 episodes total equals almost 18 months a.k.a. a year and a half (to be precise, 1 year, 5 months and 3 weeks)

In Compromise for the two shows with a leaning towards the Wipeout influence: Let's say, two episodes per week with 75 episodes total equals 9 months and 2 weeks (this is on the idea of Jay leaving before the filming of the 76th episode).

~

So obviously we don't get a ten year time skip between Seasons 3 and 4 and I clearly haven't factored in how long it took to set up Jay's game show in the first place, however, I don't think it's that far outside the realm of possibility that the time skip was at least somewhere between 9 and a half months and 18 months. This certainly gives enough time for moss to grow on Zane's statue and for angst among the Ninja Team (<- Including Nya, Pixal and Skylor).

Enough time for Jay to get his own game show.

Enough time for Nya to gather what she needs to fix the Bounty.

Enough time for Cole to get a job without people knowing who he is.

Enough time for Lloyd to be with his father before Garmadon's Season 4 self-sacrifice.

Enough time for Zane to rebuild himself only to be kidnapped by Ronin and sold to Master Chen.

Enough time for Pixal to be kidnapped as well and held in Chen's dungeon where the Mechanic pried her open and took her apart piece by piece.

Enough time where Skylor's training was put into overdrive as she had to watch her father put every last detail into place for the Elemental Masters, like a spider preparing its web for the flys.

Enough time for Kai to get his own apartment where he exists alone with thoughts that are far to loud and condemning for a protector who lost his brother, to craft a place for himself in an underground fighting ring that won't ask questions, where he can fight and forget, only to be constantly plagued by his every waking moment asking, 'why wasn't it me', and thinking, 'it should have been me'.

Um ...

So how long ago did Sensei Garmadon sacrifice himself for Ninjago?

~~~~~

You know, how people close to Wu likely treated Garmadon like a normal person (dispite being destined for evil).

And, you know how Wu raised Morro from the age of 6/7 to something like 14/15.

Maybe their was a reason Morro possessed the night watchmen beyond, "he was there".

Or at least why he was messing with him before he did it.

Although maybe he just liked messing with people in life (like little Lloyd) and continued with his antics after he passed.

This one, incredibly specific piece of foreshadowing in The Secret Saturdays (Spoilers for Season 2)

The pictures below are V.V. Argost's associates as listed in the criminal database (accessible by the Saturday family)

Notice someone. How about here (two pictures below) a.k.a. Van Rook's clientele list

Master Gokul, is that really you; what a surprise see you on two lists in Season 1, episode 7 (Van Rook's Apprentice).

I wasn't expecting to see you on my rewatch until you tried to off a kid in Season 2, episode 5 (The Legion of Garuda)

Knowing this guy might be on Argost's payroll puts this scene in a whole other perspective.

Just Noticed Something

I'm going to be doing a rewatch of Ben 10 from Classic to Omniverse (slow updates) but I just wanted to post something I just realized as I was comparing the two versions of Ben 10,000 from the original series.

First Ben, Gwen and Max (from Ben 10,000 and Ken 10):

But while I was getting these screencaps I noticed something else

The two images above are from Season 3 episode 1: Ben 10,000

(The first is just after ten-year-old Ben and Gwen arrive to the future)

(The second is during the older and young Ben's fight against Vilgax after the three of them fall from Ben's tower HQ)

The picture above is from Season 4 episode 7: Ken 10 (this one is from just after Gwen gives Ken his birthday present)

I know most people I've heard from, believe that the two episodes are around ten years apart due to the changes in Ben, Gwen, and Max (and the absence of Kenny) and maybe that's still true. Maybe the two kids at Kenny's birthday party just have alien aging that makes them look younger - or somthing.

Or maybe the artist were just recycling character designs, IDK - still, it be interesting to explore a way for this all to make sense.

~

P.S.

Ken 10:

I've heard the whole, 'the cup of water is her present' thing.

Pretty sure I'm counting five presents here (sans the Omnitrix from Ben)

Three presents from the kids, a hoverboard from Max and a pet golem from Gwen.

Probably being redundant by pointing this out, still, wonder what's in the box.
