I wasn't here when the episode aired. How much did /mlp/ dislike Spike's latest episode?
>>
I personally thought it was the best of the season, but everyone pretends that its shit because of memes.
>>

I haven't seen it yet either, apparently people liked it though. My guess is because of the new meme waifu.

Most of the whining towards earlier episodes was that there wasn't enough epic stuff, and we're usually overrun by Spikefags crying about fucking nothing, so yeah. /mlp/ adored this episode.
>>
I never understood why people are liking it. The dragons where cool now they are lame as hell.
>>
It was the best Spike episode ever, which admittedly isn't saying much.

It was predictable, contrived and awkward at times but was great fun, had some decent keks, was more towards action adventure, had some delicious delicious lore and has flooded /mlp/ with scalies.

Except...She didn't.

From the beginning she was disgruntled with Dragon Culture railing against her fathers stubborn minded insistence that all dragons should be big, loud musclebound idiots.

As soon as she met Spike on the beech she covered for him for no reason and seemed interested in chatting until she realized she was being 'un-dragon like'.

The rest of the episode was her letting down her defenses and getting over her own narrow view of how a dragon should behave.

Not really. She was fairly autonomous, goal-oriented, and driven to prove to her dad that her wits could overcome brute force.

She acted all tough and whatnot to hide the fact she wants friends and someone to care about her. It took spike for her to accept he's right. She was in denial about not wanting friends.
>>
>>27110661
It was okay, but the fact that sparityfags have either killed themselves or are in the process of self harming right now makes it a 10/10.

The whole point was that she was a nice dragon all the time. She sided with Spike when he wanted to leave, covered for him on the beach and that was before they agreed to work together. She was helping others from the very start because she wasn't an asshole but she was to stubborn to admit it.
>>
>>27111083
Yeah, pretty much, if it is an idea or concept that is spread among people/popular, it is a meme. yadda yadda yadda, is a meme that originated from seinfeld, even "to be, or not to be, is technically a meme.

>>
>>27110985
>From the beginning she was disgruntled with Dragon Culture railing against her fathers stubborn minded insistence that all dragons should be big, loud musclebound idiots.
Pointing out that might does not make right is not the same as advocating friendship. She stated in the beginning that she was smart. This gave me the impression that she was supposed to be critical, not cooperative.
>As soon as she met Spike on the beech she covered for him for no reason and seemed interested in chatting until she realized she was being 'un-dragon like'.
If it's for no reason, then what's her motivation? They could have done one of two things to make her character make sense: either make her hold to her values of being critical, and analytical about the idea of friendship, and embrace it on the logical benefits, or actually present her from the beginning trying to buddy up with one of the other dragons to show that she had at least some understanding of the benefits of teamwork.
>The rest of the episode was her letting down her defenses and getting over her own narrow view of how a dragon should behave.
Her view isn't so much narrow as it is weak. She doesn't have any convictions about anything other than that her brain is a better tool than her muscles. Why would she come to a different view of life in a single day unless she was actively looking for a different view?

>Wasn't fond of it. Feels like they're just giving Spike more importance than he should have because his fanboys kept bitching to the writers about him

Yes, this. It was the spikefags who's bitching really pushed the writers to "do something" with him during S4/S5 that likely led to this.

However, my main complaint is that its also one of the few instances that Twilight/Rarity were put together byt they had almost 0 interaction with each other. Considering their "contribution" to the episode on top of that, they may as well have not been there at all.

Spike is not leading character material. He can be a straight man, a capable assistant, a valuable support, and all these other things, but any effort to put him in the limelight will always be contrived and idiotic, requiring some nonsense asspull to eliminate other, more capable characters from just doing their jobs.

The closest there will ever be to a good Spike episode are ones like Lesson Zero.

Are you fucking retarded or something? Knights aren't and were never leaders in any sense of the word, they were hired mercenaries that fought for a lord in return for shelter and money.

I like how everything you just said does not equate to leadership capabilities.

You can be motherfucking ghandi, and still be entirely capable of leading your people to death and despair if you don't know how to be a stern manager. Knights don't care about the frivolity of finances and supply. Just "show me to the heresy and I shall smite thee with my large sword"

I like it. Mostly because they didn't "redeem" Garble's character and make him goody two shoes. He's still a jerkwad, and I hope his character continues to be so whenever he pops up in other episodes.

There's actually been a whole lot of that before monarchs existed. Rome had a shitton of military generals where all of their legions and citizens would literally kill for them to take the seat of the Empire.

Germanicus is a prime example. EVERYONE in Rome, everyone, talked to him and said "hey man you're a fucking god. Let's go back to Rome and make you Emperor because we think the current emperor is a cock."

Then Germanicus says "nah man. I'm too awesome to betray the establishment of Rome like that. Let's just kill more barbarians, k?"

It demonstrated the best aspects of Spike's character, gave him some great gags, and even allowed him to "save the day" in a way appropriate to him.

>>27111463
Spike is only in position to defend others when some plot contrivance renders everyone else useless.
Like in the last episode. No reason Twilight couldn't have pinned Garble down and let Ember take the stick, except that Spike had to get his moment so you Spikefags might shut up.

He's absolutely not a leader. He's a right-hand man.

Pretty good summary.

I didn't really have a problem with Twilight and Rarity hidng in the background (literally) since it was a Spike episode.

My only issue was when Garble was threatening Twilight and Rarity and they acted intimidated. Rarity, I can see; but Twilight could vaporize his ass, freeze him into an ice cube, or even turn him into an orange. What's she worried about?

you do realize this same argument could be used on celestia and luna right?
the difference is spike saved the day before.

Yeah, I get that. I just think that Garble getting made a fool of by an off handed teleport would have been more appropriate. Purple smart doesn't necessarily have to do anything to him in order to extradite them from the situation.

Jesus. It's like I'm truly back in 2012 /mlp/.

Everyone seems to think that past /mlp/ was super amazing, but what people don't understand is that this is exactly how it was like. We would take one very small portion of some form of lore from Equestria, then go COMPLETELY 200% AUTISM about something related to it on Earth.

Basically, the death of /mlp/ will be from the lack of developing autism.

Gonna agree with this actually. I remember dragons as being huge mounds of scales and fire that everyone feared. Later we got a small handful out of the bunch who were bratty teenagers. Now they are ALL bratty teenagers. Even the dragon lord had a joke of a personality. Only redeeming quality was Ember

Torch is a very old dragon. Back in the day, the artists and Harbo were worried about the dragons and manticores and shit like that being "too scary" for the intended audience.
