So what does /mlp/ think of Spike?
>>27879946
literally best pony.
>>27879946
Don't know don't care.
>>27879946
Terrible main character, great side character.
>>27879946
He is aalrightcharacter who gets routinely shit on by writers in episodes dedicated to him. He does very well as a supporting character, but until GoF, was a bad lead. I'd like to see more good episodes with him.
Spikefags are often quite autistic, but antispikefags are far, far more so.
>>27879946
Useless.
>>27879946
I can't wait for him to grow from very young, to young. His 16th birthday has to be around the corner by now...
Pretty good episodes when he isn't a gag.
>>27880000
Dude that's creepyAlso checked
He's a big guy
>>27880028
For Ember
>>27880000
I wasted quads on an obscure D&D joke?
What do you think Spike's role on the show supposed to be right now?
Think there's any chance of it shifting before this generation of pony ends?
>>27880032
*For Starlight
>>27880037
>wasted
anon, pls. this place is at least 25% /tg/
>>27880119
Well... Yes, I can imagine so. Still, who the fuck else would look up the dragon age chart just for a joke like that?
do they ever acknowledge that spike will sleep for 100 years and when he wakes everyone will die?
>>27879946
i want to rape spike in his butthole so hard and so deep that he coughs up a scroll from princess celestia demanding that i stop
>>27879946
He's funny sometimes. The thought of him outshining everyone and saving the day whenever he shows up like Spikefags seem to want is terrible, but based on how actually is in the show, as a dumb kid. he's cool.
>>27880427
ha
>>27880353
No, because the writers are bad at their jobs.
Also; Spike a shit.
A SHIT.
>>27879946
Underrated Character and really downplayed.
>>27880043
I didn't. Care to explain?
>>27880353
>not having every 3.5 and 5.0 book as PDFs
>>27880473
I think it's from Dungeons and Dragons. A table top RP game.
>>27879946
Hes pretty cool
>>27880469
>underrated
What?
When he's left out of a group mane 6 episode, there's at least 5 people whining about it, and every damn thing he does in the show gets at least a whole lively thread of discussion. I won't say he deserves less attention, but there are other important characters who deserve a hell of a lot more credit than they get on here, compared to the daily, detailed praise you'll find for Spike.
>>27880495
I know what D&D is. I'm asking what the obscure D&D joke was.
>>27880495
The answer is yes.
But yeah, He's only like five or six pony years younger than twilight anyways. Considering that the mane six are supposed to be in their early twenties (and are incredibly accomplished for such a young age) that'd put spike in his late teens.
>>27880514
yeah, pretty good, can be a good character or just some comic relief depending on the plot
i want to cum inside spike's hot, tight throat while rarity masturbates and calls him a faggot
>>27880517
i think he means underrated in that they never seem to use him to his full potential. hes got courage out the ass and can be the voice of reason, but they usually use him as the clumsy buttmonkey.
>>27880550
>a pale blue glow lifts Spike into the air, pulling his pudgy thighs askew and his arms behind his head
>his tail is next, tugged upward to rest along his back almost ceremonially
>"It was inevitable ... Spikey-wikey. Spend long enough around mares, and sooner or later some big, strapping stallion is going to breed you like one."
>>27879946
i want to marry him and make him my Wife (female)
>>27880517
The only character that you will find more discussion about with any given episode is Rarity. It's weird.
>>27880555
Gauntlet of Fire should be how every Spike episode is, in terms of how he acts. Treat him like a character, not a gag.
Fuck it, I can't find it as an image, so just here's va direct link to the chart I'm referring to.

>Treat him like a character, not a gag.
season 6 has done a pretty good job at that all around. i guess jim was telling the truth.
>>27880624
Oh yeah, he's been growing as a character a lot this season... Like when asked about his statue? As opposed to how he acted a season or two ago, he just kind of brushed it off.
>>27879946

>>27880624
>>27880655
He had a whole season dedicated to his self doubt. Shame S5 was such shit for him.
>>27879966
Yes, he was enjoyable when he occasional served as the voice of reason during the days when Twilight was a fish out of water in ponyville.
I often get the impression that the writers have no clue on what to do with him now that Twilight's character arc is finished.
He's the character that got me to like the show to begin with
>>27879946
>Good as a voice of reason and a partner (like GoF)
>Bad as a lead character/focus.
>Has arguably the most autistic fanbase, only bested by Dashfags.
I used to wonder if spike counted as twilight's familiar... Come to think of it, that might be why he's a dog in Equestria Girls.
ai tzink itz ä drägohn
...swag
>>27881137
He should fucking had opportunity to grow up physically, to level up with Twilight's size at least. Being somewhat as gentle giant, he could look intimidating, but still had friendly approach with warm smile.
Then he would always accompany Twilight in her adventures and politic stuff, being her bodyguard, confidant and advisor.
To make it more DAWWW, they could call each other as sister / brother, not only by names.Twilight secretly regrets the time she used him a lot for her own cause, not making him able to develop
Pic rel, this is what I imagine Spike to be at some point.
>>27882897
So far, I've counted one fic about it. As far this is interesting idea, it would never happen.
>>27882897
He basically is, but I think that is a difficult concept to explain to kids. The issue is that Faust never had a clue of what to do with him as he was forced in by Hasbro.
Giving him much more significance was something McCarthy did.
>>27882237
This. I started watching MLP because I thought he looked like such a cute character.
>>27879946
Spike is a stupid faggot who needs to fucking die already. Seriously, the show would be much better without him.
>>27880620
>what is a screenshot
Also, who here hyped for Tails of Equestria? I'm excited just for the potential worldbuilding alone.
>>27879946
shit barney tier character
i want to murder spike and use his still-warm carcass as a fleshlight

What the fuck is this shit
>>27879946
He is a dragon.
>>27884434
Thank you, I'm stuck on mobile while my laptop gets fixed.
I wonder what his actual adult form is. Even Guardians of Harmony toys were eager to point out that the greed form is something that he can control.
>>27885461
Oh that reminds me, it honestly kind of pisses me off just how little spike gets to use magic. Seriously, he can teleport solid objects with fire! I want to see the limits of the magic of dragons dammit!
>>27885461
i really wish they would have redesigned it. his adult form is ugly as all fuck.
I want to airstrike his smug bitch ass into Tartarus.
>>27885519
Spike deserves to be smug for having to put up with all of the mane 6s shit over the years.
>>27885503
Good, because it's his greed form and not his adult form supposedly.
>>27879946
i think he is great
>>27885544
im not sure the writers or artists see it that way
>>27886396
It's what the toy designer who created GoH said.
