Two Spike Character Questions


Rocky

Recommended Posts

why is fluttershy called a doormat is not spike in a lot of ways a bigger doormat?

 

This has always intrigued me. Fluttershy is always seen by the fandom as the doormat character in the series even though we have seen her limits and what she is capable of since season 1. Spike on the other hand is always portrayed as a coward that doesn't have anything going on for him, always obeying what he is told and always being pushed around. Yeah, IMO Spike is THE super doormat in this show.

how would you feel about the idea of Spike wanting to turn into a pony?

 

 

Its one of the oldest episode ideas of the fandom and one of the best ones. Seriously, the possibilities for character development are huge.

Oh Spike The Poor Sucker.

To be turned into a pony is only way out of his misery.

He is a dragon - but he isn't. Biologically he is, - but mentally he is a pony. He was raised by ponies. Female ponies, especially, by his ersatz-mom Twilight Sparkle. That means, he has got no fitting role model.

Spike has already realised his situation. And he has already explored both options he had: to grow up as a dragon (Secret of my Excess) and to learn how to be a dragon (Dragon Quest). Naturally, both options didn't fit him.

So, Spike is stuck. Stuck in being a baby dragon. Stuck in following ponies, who will never see him as anything more than a cute little baby dragon.

If he doesn't get turned into a real pony, he has no future.
