#I didn't expect much so soon since it was just revealed in s2 and the official s3 is only half of the originally planned one

FASCINATING

Hi, do you have any more thoughts on Kolivan recognizing keith// his parent's (mom kogane's) blade?? I'm intrigued by that angle of perspective and would love if you could divulge further! Thank you very much!

Honestly something I think about, if Kolivan and the other Blade members do recognize the Blade is… there’s an element of their own grief probably tied up in this?

From the start we’ve seen the Blade acting weirdly personal about Keith’s knife. Several members, especially Antok, were incredibly angry at him having it in a way that’s more personal than just “that’s not yours to have”. But Thace was seemingly greatly reassured by it, in the sense that even going to his death, he seemed strangely hopeful and happy to know Keith was out there with that specific weapon.

I have to disagree with you on the marketing team doing a bad job. The October 1st thing was meant to be a special occassion, like they've done with previois Hargreeves birthdays and the holidays. It wasnt the start of their promotions, but did set up their marketing angle they'll be taking for s3. And I think part of the silence right now they've been editing. I don't think they've known when they'll finish or be ready to release in 2022. With that Netflix is still deciding their release schedule for next year. They'll want to start marketing once they have a release date and we're closer to it. Droughts are terrible for fans, but marketing something for ages and ages isn't that feesible. Either the public are gonna get sick of it before it's even here, or their marketing budget is gonna be ruined. And at this time they can't reveal much of anything or have actors say too much in interviews (if they would interview them so soon) and it would get boring and defeat the purpose of promoting it. They wouldn't be drawing new fans in or hyping up old ones anymore. And since this isn't a new show they're trying to make a hit, they aren't going to be marketing it beforehand as long as a new series might get.

I didn't mean the October 1st Instagram makeover and video was a bad thing, but it is an interesting look into what's to come with the whole broken timeline and Sparrow takeover. With TUA being a somewhat big show for Netflix it feels a little odd that nothing has happened yet, especially with the wrapping date the optimistic estimated release date. Or possibly this just means that something new is coming soon. And like I also said though, it's not TUA's marketing (or I also said whoever is in charge's) fault because they have rules to follow from the higher ups aka Netflix. Yeah I shouldn't have said "not exactly" their fault because it's not their fault at all.

I also don't want to sound like I'm saying "They need to hurry up, I want S3!!" because I absolutely admire everything that goes into making this show and every movie/tv show, especially the makeup, hair, and cinematography workers who work super hard and get very little sleep and aren't treated well, let alone get paid well. And understandably editing in post production takes a long time, especially if you look at my S1 & S2 comparisons. They heavily have to make the magic happen!

I definitely agree with you about the marketing and how they don't essentially want to be teasing fans and dragging it on until people get tired and impatient before a series/season gets released. We got the S3 episode names, which was awesome, but then for the TUDUM event they made it sound like we were getting something special for S3. Of course the fans expected something for S3, so that's also on us for getting our hopes up for something new haha.

As we know S3 is being kept very secretive, but we've also heard from cast and crew about how awesome this season is supposed to be. It's supposed to be the best season yet according to many so that's really got the fans riled up and waiting for anything new from S3. So it feels like it's being dragged out, but from a fan's point of view. We're hearing all these great things and going "Okay, can we have a little info on what's to come? :]" but we're just waiting and waiting. It's especially hard this year with the longer gap between seasons because of Covid heavily changing the way shows are produced along with lockdowns and quarantines.

And like I said, I based everything for S3 off of S2, which was a new season for TUA and not the start of the series. You really can't compare S1 promos and S2 promos because S1 began to promote right away. So it would make more sense for S3 to be estimated off S2 because it's not the start of a show but another season. If S3 ends up marketing in the same timeline as S2, then it won't be something that's dragged along, especially if S3 is released in March. Another part that makes the wait feel like forever is that pretty much every fan has been following the filming process since it began in February, so it feels like a long wait :]

I'm just a (growing impatient simply because I'm obsessed with this show) fan looking for something, anything new about S3. I know that I am 100% not the only one too. I'm looking at the past two seasons and their "checkpoints" and trying to figure out where S3 might fit in, trying to see if they match. Honestly part of my personal fun in estimating and predicting S3 is purely because I want to see how close I'll get to my estimations when all the S3 "checkpoints" fall into place. I don't expect any type of interviews soon, I'm just hoping for a release date or promo image soon!
