Why Didn't Spike Burn the Timberwolves?


BRONYWARLORD

Recommended Posts

.....Because of the the fact that, despite being made of wood, Timberwolves are still sentient? Would YOU want to show a character burning a living creature alive? At least when they're beaten into pieces, they can still reform.

Hey, @BRONYWARLORD

 

Your title was lacking proper solidity so I've gone ahead and taken the liberty into changing it to something more specific to the context. :) May I suggest perhaps adding a touch more to your description as well?

Because according to Equestria Games, his firepower (*rimshot!*) is influenced by his state of mind.

 

And since his state of mind at that time was effectively 'OMGWTFBBQ!!!'... yeah, that s*** just wasn't happening.

Spike sees the timberwolves as living breathing beings and that prevented him from using his fire. Also being disintegrated into pieces of wood seems to be less graphic that to be burned alive.

Well seeing as how the timberwolves have the ability to reassemble themselves, how do we know that if Spike tried using his fire breath on them, they wouldn't come back.

Also seeing as MLP FIM is rated TVY I highly doubt that seeing one of the main characters flat out destory living creatures would be out of the question.

(That is assuming Spike's dragon fire would destroy the timberwolves)

It is rated TV-Y. It would be out of the question! It is the same reason why Sunset Shimmer didn't threaten Twilight/Spike's life in Equestria Girls.

Because he'd cause a forest fire and kill everyone. Or he may just end up sending the wolves to Celestia, which wouldn't end well either.


Amoral cynic with a bitchin' vocabulary.

I don't think Spike is the type to think that his fire could cause a forest fire before it's too late as he's quite clumsy and can't plan things through and he wouldn't try and use his fire or fight back as well because he's sort of a sissy.

 

TL;DR version: Spike is a sissy and he's not smart

Wouldn't that be sort of cruel? I mean, I know they're nasty creatures and all, but they're still plantimals. They act on instinct as much as any other wolf.

I don't think it would be cruel because the timberwolves are not creatures they are being controlled by some spirit.  The spirit is what is making the wood come to life.  I think spike can willfully use fire. Spike can be baby sometimes....

Umm pretty sure the way the Timberwolves display separate emotions makes them pretty sentient to me.

 

And even if a spirit is controlling them if you kill the body you did kill it... because the spirit is released. :D

Because Spike is a friggin idiot. Or because he didn't want to teleport them into Celestia's house and deal with an angry sun goddess getting timberwolves in the mail.

I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was akin to a slow death.

I was about to post because he didn't want to put a timberwolf in Celestia's court and then I see just ahead of me someone else said similar.

Also, can Spike teleport living things?  Just off hand, ICR him teleporting anything but scrolls.  + in It's About Time, he scorched Twilight but didn't kill her.  The only thing worse than a bunch of timber wolves would be a bunch of timber wolves pissed off because you scorched them
