  1. Here's a hard thing to do in writing: Making a story where a character is being tortured where they actually deserve it. This can only work if said character is completely in the wrong or is completely unlikable with no redeeming traits or sympathy. I rarely see this get done perfectly

      Another way it could work is if you save the torture for the end of the episode after the character spends it doing extremely unlikable things making the torture cathartic

      It would be good for karmic retribution, like if something had happened to Pinkie Pie at the end of "Filli Vanilli".

       

      Unfortunately, they seem to be dumping all of this on Spike, whose only offense is not being a member of the Pony Master Race, thus he is automatically the punching bag.

      For me, it seems to be the worse in Just for Sidekicks, Owl's Well that Ends Well, and Dragon Quest.

       

      I can take the other times, seeing as they're mostly one off jokes that aren't on screen for long. But when it's an entire episode, then I'm like "Seriously?"

       

      Though Spike's torture is nothing compared to how they handle it in other shows.
