Spike the Dragon

[Aerial~Shot 177]

Oh, I'm sorry Aerial~Shot. What did you need to ask?

 

Oh, I have a question for you...

 

Do you know if Rarity received my present today? It's very special, it's a gem with shows the future of onepony's self. Please don't tell her about it. It's a secret, that only you and I will keep.

 

SPIIIIIIKE!!! *glomps* Dont. Leave. *evil glare*

Of course I'll keep it secret! Aw, that's so cute~! <--- Look! It's Rarity! ... I wonder why there isn't more Rarity smilies...?

[Flying Whales 311]

I love Spike and I hope the writers show him some more love in season 3. We could all use some more Spike action. I think Spike rivals Pinkie as far as humor goes. I love how sarcastic he is, I’d say he is even borderline pessimistic. Spike adds a nice flavor to the show, and gives the mane 6 some diversity.

[Night Shine 767]

Yes, Spike is an awesome character, yes, he's funny, yes his crush on Rarity is cute.

 

But what is he? What personality traits define him like the Mane 6's do with the Elements of Harmony? (Rarity is generous, Rainbow is loyal, etc...)

What could you say to legitimately describe his personality?

 

I feel like I've asked this before on some thread or another, but it is a good discussion topic and I still haven't really figured it out.

[Flying Whales 311]

Hmm it’s interesting you say that I’ve never put any thought into it before and thinking about it now I’m starting to realize just how much character depth Spike has. I think it would be hard to pinpoint one single trait.

[Dreaming 9]

I am a Spike fan. he is a great character; cute in many ways, and I do enjoy his crush on Rarity, although it is a bit out of line. after all, he's a dragon, she's a pony. he's a baby, she's an adult. it'd be a little awkward if it ever actually happened.

 

as far as humor goes, Spike is my favourite. he does a great job of bringing some common sense into the show and making it feel like a cartoon for all ages rather than a little kids' show.

 

I can't imagine the show without Spike. well... actually, I can. Twilight wouldn't even try to make friends like celestia asked her to. the summer sun celebration would be a disaster, and Nightmare moon would be busy kicking fillys into the new ocean caused by the overwhelming tide caused by the permanent moon. Twilight would be giggling in a corner calling herself a pretty pony, books flying magically through the air, while Pinkie blabbered on indefinitely trying to be her friend. the elements of harmony would innevitably fall into the hands of Trixie, Derpy, Diamond Tiara, Granny Smith, Prince Blue Blood, and Fancypants. Rarity would mourn over being "unloved." the dragons would have smashed the phoenix egg and PeeWee would never have been born. Owlowiscious would be homeless and starving. and Fluttershy would be constant "YOU WILL LOVE ME" Flutterspaz due to all the stress.

best part about spike = the voice.

 

I've herd his old voices and they are awful compared to this one. They really nailed it and i think that is part of what makes him such an awesome character!

[Flame Blitz 85]

He is extremely underdeveloped. He deserves more attention.

I really want an episode where his origins are explained. And more episodes with Philomena.

[Haven Celestii 9,385]

I actually have no problem with Spike. Not the most memorable of characters, but he foes gave his funny moments. I totally wouldn't mind seeing another episode based around the little guy.

Ok, don't have to be serious.

 

Thanks for keep... oh no, she's here. *gulps* Uh, Rarity... This is for you. *Rarity* ~ Oh, for me? Oh thank you very much, my little Spikey-Wikey. *kiss*

 

*blushes* Another one for the memories.

How could I forget?! I have a thing for voices, and I just ADORE Spike's ^///^ He's got one of those voices I could just listen to all day~

Hey, to let you know...

 

On YouTube, I'm planning a parody video on Spike in a few years, playing his voice of how he would sound. Just need to work on a script and some drawings for him.

Wait, what? Seriously? SERIOUSLY?! ...*explodes for a third time* Awesome! I can't wait to hear that!!! You have earned a new subscriber!

Thank you very much, but it won't be easy. Because from what I can recollect, he might say that he's not into Rarity anymore, but he remembers such fond memories of his younger life. It's sort of to be like an eHarmony video, he's looking for a date.

[Dxthegod 251]

The cool thing about G4 Spike is that he's not just some zombie with like no emotions... he actually helps out a lot and even has some of his own episodes

 

Not to mention that spiked punch joke... *atomic knee slap*

Oooh, sounds like a good idea, Spike getting over his childhood crush and wanting to find his very special somepony somedragon something~ I can imagine him being kinda nervous and awkward, then trying to act all cool

That joke is such a hilarious joke to use at a bachelor party. LOL Your opinion is just grand to hear.

 

You know something? I( have not seen one member who doesn't like Spike. I even mentioned in the first post that you can neglect him, but do explain why you don't like him.

[hironakamura 126]

I think Spike has the potential to be one of the show's more darker characters because his future living among ponies is uncertain. In SomE, he reveals his true self as species should be which is a powerful and dangerous creature and he comes to realize it as well during the bridge scene where he raises his claw over the gigantic claw print he made during his rampage. If Rarity never snapped him out of it he would've stayed like that for the rest of his life. Its why I want Spike to win the unicorn of his dreams because without her he'll spend the rest of his life as the monster he's naturally supposed to grow into.

[Stereopony454 18]

Personally My theory on Spike is this.

 

1. We know he's not like other dragons, he has no wings, and as shown in SOME, no matter how large he gets he'll never grow any.

 

2. I believe he was given to Twilight for a reason, and Celesita is probably the only one who knows the truth about Spike, weather she will ever reveal the little guys origins, or where his egg came from, only time will tell.

 

3. In relation to #1, due to the lack of wings, I belive Spike to be the dragon equivalent to an earth pony, potentially meaning he will be able to live with the ponies and not outlive them by too long or cause too much trouble even when older *but this is a cartoon and cartoons live forever so worrying about stuff like that is abit silly I guess, lol* *I mean Bugs Bunny is pretty spry for someone who's over 70.*

 

4. I also think Spikes growth might be related to his emotions, I like to think that greed isn't the only thing that can allow him to grow, and that eventually his love for his pony friends will allow him to grow into a more noble form.

 

5. Spike & Rarity will work out on the soul purpose Hasbro needs an excuse to make Kirin Pony toys for G 4.5, lol.

 

Thank you, that is all.

When I first saw Spike, the first episode, I absolutely despised him and his voice. After a few episodes, I actually liked him alot.

[Cherry Blossom 864]

I see him as a background character sometimes, but he sure is pretty okay. Somehow I am unsatisfied with his color scheme, but he sure does look adorable when he hatched from his egg.

[dreaper 136]

I like Spike a lot, he is one of the most interesting characters in the show and it saddens me that fans barely give him any credit, and the interesting thing is that I didn't care about him at all when I started watching the series, I just saw him as just that "assistant kid" and never gave him a lot of attention; after all he is not a pony, why should I care about him?... but everything changed when I saw the season 1 finale.

 

There, we saw that Spike was really happy to go the gala, he wanted to spend a good time with the ponies and have fun with them, but before going to the actual gala: Spike got ditched by the ponies in less than two seconds and ended up in Pony Joe's for the rest of the night drowning his sorrows with donuts. I felt sorry for him when I saw that because I realized how easy is to forget him. We all know how bad that night was for the mares, but have we ever stopped to think how awful the night probably was for Spike? Aimlessly wandering around, bored, alone, depressed, completely forgotten. Damn... that sucks.

After that I started to see Spike from another perspective, and realized that he is actually a very interesting character with a lot of potential that I want to see. Yeah, I went from not caring about him at all, to be one his biggest fans.

I had known this very well, when I first watched the show. Spike had such potential and personality that many of the fans/bronies of MLP never realized. Wondering if Season 3 will be able to offer anything worthy for him, I've heard that he had a song of his own but I wouldn't know for sure, due to how I'm avoiding any/all spoilers of the upcoming third season.

[That Colt 42]

I have an episode idea. One morning spike wakes up to find his wings have come in, but he can't fly without crashing, and spends the episode with rainbow dash trying to learn.

[SpikeyWikey07 58]

Ok guys, I decided to go shopping a bit and I was watching/listening* Secret Of My Excess. I saw some feathers being sold at the dollar store, and curiosity kicked in. Bought them and made my white fedora into that fedora that Spike wore. Who wants to see it?
