>"Anon, is there a reason /mlp/ doesn't like me?"
Seriously. Why do I see a lot of hate comments about Spike. I enjoyed his episodes so far. I really don't see what some people expect from a secondary character.He's not a part of the mane six. He's just a baby dragon that Twilight uses as a mailbox for Princess Celestia.
>>25505154
Hi Slashy
>>25505154
Because dipshits like you keep on making shittier and shittier prompt threads
>>25505154
>spikefag has to make another thread trying to justify this joke of a character
>>25505154
It's just meme masters.
>>25505200
>>25505154
>fax machine
He doesn't even do that anymore. Hasbro hates Princess Celestia.
>>25505154
He isn't even a mailbox anymore.
Now all he's good for is being Twilight's little house nigger.
>>25505154
>why don't they love my husbando as much as me?
>better make another spikethread that'll show em' how great he is
>>25505154
He is useless
He is pathethic
He is a waste of screentime
Just replace him with Snip and Snail and nothing will be lost.
>>25505490
>Just replace him with Snip and Snail and nothing will be lost.
I wouldn't even notice the change, honestly.
>>25505154
Unlike Discord, he isn't entertaining or making any significant interaction with Mane6
Unlike Big Mac, he doesn't have any interesting potential in storyline to be explored.
He is just there being somewhere between a pet and little brother character.
>>25505712
He has potential storylines to be discovered.
>>25505718
Elaborate.
>>25505154
He is too similar to a lot of Anons around here
>>25505742
He has probably had somewhat of an education to the power of magic.
He is an outsider, who is a different species, raised by another species to associate with their society.
It is likely that he can be extremely strong, is probably very smart, and might be the only dragon to be fully integrated into pony society.
He has been taught good morals and the values of friendship.
He is noble and wants to protect others.
He likes comic books and wishes to be a superhero
>>25505154
I'd let Spike fart on my face. I like him that much, personally.
>>25505783
This is literally the only reason he gets any attention.
I haven's seen a single pegasister caring about him or making a fanfic about him. Is all adult guys being pathethic enough to actually self insert themselves into a prepubescent child
>>25505937
Goddamn
>>25505960
Title sound like someone admitting something out of pressure. Like "I'm gay!".
>>25505937
>He has probably had somewhat of an education to the power of magic.
Yet he can't use it worth shit.
>He is an outsider, who is a different species, raised by another species to associate with their society.
So are pets.
>It is likely that he can be extremely strong, is probably very smart, and might be the only dragon to be fully integrated into pony society.
We've seen how 'strong' and 'smart' he is.
>He has been taught good morals and the values of friendship.
So has every other character.
>He is noble and wants to protect others.
Read: Rarity.
>He likes comic books and wishes to be a superhero
And Fluttershy likes animals, AJ likes farming, Twilight likes books... Where was this point going?
>>25505783
Relatable characters are bad now?
>>25506040
They are when they're faggots.
>>25505937
That pattern is probably unintentional and not something they are going to follow up on.
>>25506027
He actually has a goal though to be fulfilled.
>>25506066
And what goal is that?
>>25506066
What goal? Becoming older and boning Rarity? Kekekeke
>>25505960
Sometimes I like to imagine that the cartoon characters are actors. Can you imagine Spike coming into work, still stinking of cheap gin, and being told he's making a learn to read kids book filled with reasons people are supposed to like him? As he washes the filth from his face in his dressing room and plucks a grey scale from his head, he sighs and takes the first sip of many from his flask. Once upon a time he was supposed to be a main character who had a small romance plot with Rarity. Oh how that changed when the director changed....
>>25506069
He obviously wants to be some kind of knight.
>>25506087
He was given more significance after Meghan took over.
>>25506097
Well, good luck with that. You know, with there being no knights at all.
>>25506097
so a vague goal that could be achieved in a throwaway line thanks to his participation in most of the major events along side the mane 6?
boy howdy, sure is a life goal there.
>>25506115
They come in all sorts of variants.
>>25506097
I don't think their universe contain the concept of knighthood and it is just a thing in their comics and romantic novels, just like in our world.
>>25505154
since Princess Spike aired,I think anons have been caring much more about Spike than ever
>inb4 spikefags
there's always that meme of "name 3 good Spike episodes" and I already remember much more all his episodes than any other character because of this board
Spike is not a failure of a character,if he has survived all the shit it's been going on him,now things cant go worse
Tl dr,I like him and plenty of others dont want to admit it ,even though there's more love for him now
>>25506138
That's one the gayest things I've read all day. Good job.
Spike is literally the best character on the show.
>>25506156
I like when Spike sorta shows up at some point, talks shit, then leaves.
>>25506162
Well I realize you are just shitposting now.
>>25506156
This
Spike can be a shit character and whatever you want to say, but hating that much just because of that can't be healthy or even sane
>>25506177
Dubs confirm it.
>>25505154
Every spike episode:
>spike takes on more than he can handle
>spike feeling unimportant/unappreciated despite having helped to save the world multiple times
With varying degrees of
>being the most clueless/retarded character in the mlp universe
They're just fillers. The only decent spike eps are those that half focus on characters that arent him
>>25506156
>>25506198
You guyz need to leave this board and go back to Spike fan group in Fimfiction.
For fucks sakes, can he have another episode where he solves a problem he didn't cause and the universe doesn't shit on him?
>>25506183
>I don't have anything else to help my case so I'll just say you're shitposting
Okay, newfag.
Spike is keking you all
>>25506245
>another
What was the first one?
>>25506277
>>25506288
u-unf dubs
>>25505154
From the sexual point of view, he has no real value to /mlp/ because of little to no interest in underage male lizards. So no point in making greentext or draw porn.
And even if you are a casual normie who watch the show for the story and characters, he is pretty weak and bland character that mostly annoy the viewer in similar fashion as Discord in "What about Discord" and Pinkie Pie in "Filli Vanilli". There is almost nothin valuable about him and the only viewers who like him are doing it out of pity.
>>25506318
>From the sexual point of view, he has no real value
Barb otoh...
>>25506387
NNNNNNOPE
>>25506400
What did I miss?
>>25506369
I'd hit it.
>>25506278
Princess Spike.
>>25505154
I got nothin' against Spike. He's cool.
>>25505154
Majority loves ya lil buddy. Only a vocal minor minority talk shit.
>>25505154
He's an okay side character. His fans are the worst people on the board, though.
>>25506807
They say that about every horse.
I personally want to see Spike matured up a bit, but... Well, we all know how Hasbro treats him, so he'd never really grow up before show's end.
>>25506824
okay but those people are wrong and I'm right.
>>25506198
>Disliking a character because he's a waste of potential and episodes is unhealthy
Yeah, not going to agree with that.
>>25506318
Most /ss/ I find happens to be Spike. Which is a terrible thing.
>>25506905
There's a difference between disliking and hating to death
>>25506959
There's a difference between people's actual opinions and how you view them.
>>25505989
>who is Pia-sama
>>25506959
>hating to death
This persecution complex is fucking hilarious. Holy shit.
>>25505712

>How Celestia got his egg
>Who are his parents

...That's actually pretty amazing when you think about it.
>>25505937
Isn't Spike hinted to be at least as smart as Twilight?
I like to think of Spike as Brilliant But Lazy. He's at least as smart as Twilight, but he'd rather read comic books and eat gems.
>>25505989
>I haven's seen a single pegasister caring about him or making a fanfic about him.
I have seen several. Don't make statements if you don't know the facts. And no, I'm not going to spoon you.
>>25506121
>boy howdy, sure is a life goal there.
Applejack wanting to buck apples for the rest of her life is better?
>>25506318
This is the real reason people hate Spike: because he isn't a female they can fap to. Switch his gender, like so: >>25506369 and suddenly everybody loves "him".
So yeah, Spike haters are pretty much just frustrated nerds.
>>25507667
>Brilliant But Lazy
>>>/tvtropes/
Agreed, OP. I'd kind of enjoy showing him how to be a true stallion for Rarity and kind of be his father figure.
And to play the part, I'd indulge in a healthy amount ofrailing the shit out of mother figure.
>>25507709
Of course. It's how she makes a living and is her talent/purpose, as shown on her ass. Are you just pretending to be stupid or is this really the typical Spikefag?
Its just rarara fags being salty he has more interaction with their waifu than they ever will.
>>25508014
Oh, you were just baiting.
>>25508061
And AJ has more interaction with her than he does. What's your point?
>>25505154
He's fine as a secondary character - ie: What about Discord. However, putting him into the focus of an episode is where shit goes south more often than not.
Board-wise, people just hold a degree of disdain towards him as a topic because Spikefags keep making threads about him/Sparity in an attempt to bait others into shitposting
>>25508081
I used to be neutral on this whole thing, but I can see why the rest of the board hates you now.
>>25508120
Rarijack shippers... the worst scum.
>>25508289
>Worse than TwiDash, Mauxie, Sparity or MarbleMac
>>25505154
we don't hate you, we hate your episodes, and how in more recent episodes if you ever show up you're shoehorned in just so you can be there.
we hate how more often than not if you're the primary protagonist of an episode you seem to be the cause of your problems and that your lessons are learned less from how you interact with something but because it's a consequence of what you did in that episode.
you're writing is never consistent, you have no primary motive as a character either beyond your crush on rarity.
it's even more painful knowing the writers never seem to know what to do with you, which makes it even more confounding as to why you even get your own episodes.
I do not hate you spike, I hate how you're written and done in episodes
>>25505937
I wish the writers would follow up on this. Spike being some kind of future guardian of Equestria would be fucking awesome.
>>25505482
You know I will
How long until Spike threads are banned for being too anthro or just made to stir up trouble?
Spike has had some of the saddest looks. Not cartoonishly sad like the other ponies but legitimately looks like he's contemplating going home and drinking till he pisses the bed.
>>25509424
Hes just a baby afterall.
