Vulcan 3,256 June 5, 2017 Share June 5, 2017 I used to but ever since EqG I don't really see it happening, While I understand that both Adaptations exist in their own separate timelines , EqG is still mostly written by writers of the show, with the first two movies being written by Meghan herself. As such, her decision to depict spike as a Dog rather than a regular human holds a bit more weight to me. If Spike were depicted as a human and possibly Sci-Twi's little brother then it would have been theoretically possible in a a couple years time when the age gap isn't much of an issue, but since He's depicted as a Dog...It shows that their relationship could never be anything more than platonic.

I think Rarity loves Spike, but in a totally platonic way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though perhaps if by some chance EqG uses science or magic to turn Spike into a human....Then I could possibly see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmarston1 5,964 June 5, 2017 Share June 5, 2017 No because Spike is a child and Rarity is too old for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlareGun45 2,221 June 5, 2017 Share June 5, 2017 I believe Spike's gonna one day get tired of the crush and move on. They'll always be friends, but Iunno about Sparity happening at this point in time. Does that mean the crush is gonna end sometime in the future?

I hope so because not only has it gotten kinda sad at this point, Spike has kinda become creepy with it, such as sleeping with a Rarity doll, and in Honest Apple spying on her.

Black Sabbath 2,488 June 5, 2017 Share June 5, 2017 No, because Spike is child while Rarity is an adult. And it's going to be a very cold day in hell when Hasbro decides to make an relationship between an child and a child canon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But remember, Lauren could refute that." In other words, Spike is mentally a child still. The argument stands as valid that it's promoting an inappropriate relationship and no way in hell would Hasbro ever approve it, nor would the show staff take this angle. BTW that quote very problematic for several other reasons ... at the top end that makes some of the Mane Six pushing 30. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truffles 2,033 June 5, 2017 Share June 5, 2017 It's already canon, the first and one of very few canon ships on the show. The catch is it's a one-way ship. The more accurate question is whether Rarity will ever feel the same way. The answer is "who knows?" Though from the way she tightly held onto him at the end of "Scaremaster" hints that she sees him as her knight in shining scales (so to speak) even if she probably doesn't have any romantic feelings for him. The way she uses him for tasks at first glance makes her seem like a jerk, but if he's using the opportunity to be near her (effectively stalking her as we just saw) I guess it balances it out? <_< o_O; At the very least it's a very unhealthy relationship which is why they need to face it in an episode sooner rather than later.

Lauren hasn't had any creative input and hasn't had anything to do with FIM since season 2. Saying she can refute ANYTHING at this point is laughable. Don't be a nerd. Join the herd!

She dictated a recent canon element seen this season years after she left the show. Just putting that out there. Basically the Supervising Director does take her input seriously, which means that peopled should not discount her views wholesale. Considering that the OP asked "will Sparity ever become canon", the answer is ... realistically ... never. The show staff still see him as a child, mentally and in body. Hasbro is allergic to parental pitchforks. So no, won't happen. Ever. On 2017-06-05 at 5:38 PM, ggg-2 said: Lauren hasn't had any creative input and hasn't had anything to do with FIM since season 2.

Unless Jim says it is, naturally. I mean, you can't really use the fact to that Jim says Spike isn't an child to help your argument on why Sparity can happen, if you're not going to count whatever else he says as canon.
