ManaMinori 4,145 November 3, 2015 Share November 3, 2015 Because Spike. He's part of the pack, too. A very important part, in fact. Some of the Mane 6 wouldn't even be alive without him. Looking at you, Apple Horse. Heck, the mane 6 wouldn't even be mane 6, without him, encouraging Twi to befriend them, when Twi wanted to ignore Sunbutt's encouragement to. Twi would still be in Lesson Zero freak out mode, without him. Spike was Twilight's first friend long before the other 5, so how are people classifying the ponies by, to determine there's just a mane 6, instead of a mane 7? The EoH, which are no longrr relevant, and that Spike displays all on his own?

1111 1,284 November 3, 2015 Share November 3, 2015 (edited) he's hardly unimportant And he's a pony on the inside. I don't see how he's a pony on the inside, it doesn't mean any thing they only said he was he's still a dragon its the equivalent of being racist, its like telling a black person their white on the inside.

Lord Bradley 1,319 November 3, 2015 Share November 3, 2015 (edited) Spike might be important, but Plot demands that only the girls are Elements. Sure, he has had a number of important roles, but I think he wasnt meant to be all that important at the start of the show, where only the six girls were elements, and thus the biggest plot points. Perhaps if they decide to make an episode or have the finale feature a "lost" element for Spike, it would be mane 7 or something like that, but honestly, that would just be a horrid idea.

Sure, the show is indeed called "Friendship is Magic", and its pretty much shown that the "Elements" are friendship. And, since the beggining, only six values have been shown as the elements. Kindness, which is Flutters, Loyalty, RD, Generosity, Rares, Laughter, Pink One, Honesty, Applejack, and Magic, Twilight. Spike, unfortunately, didnt get picked for any of these values, and thus isnt as big of a plot point. It's called the "Mane Six", because those six bear the Elements. After all, The Plot Chooses All.

Because of her first Sonic Rainboom, the Mane 6 was made. And also, Spike isn't a mane, so he cannot be in the Mane 6, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidral Mundet 1,666 November 3, 2015 Share November 3, 2015 Well to be fair "Mane 6" was a term coined by the fandom, not by the staff, although the writers haven't had any idea what to do with him since season 1. 6 Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end.

pony.colin 156 November 3, 2015 Share November 3, 2015 (edited) Well to be fair "Mane 6" was a term coined by the fandom, not by the staff, although the writers haven't had any idea what to do with him since season 1. I think its pretty much this, in terms of where it came from. "Mane 6" has not been mentioned in show I don't think, it's just been a phrase that's primarily used in-fandom And also pretty much Spike currently (still holding out hope he can be written better at some point in the future).

Floris 287 November 3, 2015 Share November 3, 2015 Spike works as a great support character. You know, when he is SUPPORTING other characters.. Just look at the latest episode; "Scare Master". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Brony 313 November 3, 2015 Share November 3, 2015 Spike has his own seat at the table with the Cutie Mark Map so the Tree of Harmony must feel that he's important. Maybe he's destined to do something epic in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonCobalt 256 November 3, 2015 Share November 3, 2015 Because, ultimately, Mane 6 is a fan-coined term, and a lot of the fandom hates Spike. Not that I agree with said hatred, mind you. 1 Credit to @Kyoshi for the signature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehhh give him some years, he's persistent in growing a mustache. Who knows he might go through a mullet stage. 1 "Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light."

Not so much his episodes, thanks to the writers focusing on throwing him under the bus all the time, and oftrn punishing him for thungs not his fault, like in Princess Spike. He has a lot of good qualities that aren't being focused on, which is sad. And he's more competent than the mane 6, CMC, princesses, and every Canterlot pony combined.
