Twilight and Spike's relationship is one of my favorites. The show has now explored all ways to interpret Twilight & Spike relationship from different angles: best friends, co-workers, parent-child and finally, siblings. As I mentioned many times before, all those labels fit and are not mutually exclusive. This relationship is and always was a complex one and this is what makes it so interesting. When we try to make it just one thing, it doesn’t work because there are always questions left unanswered.
More like sad and hollow considering this was something they never should have had to do in the first place. He should have already been a part of the family, not years later. WTF.
It gets worse when you realize that up to and past this point he's the butt of nearly every joke. He is treated like a servant by the pony who hatched him, his fire is used constantly as an instant mail service despite object teleportation existing, has choked on that mail multiple times and doesn't even get his own room until Twilight's Castle thing shows up- until that point he had been sleeping in A DOG BED for YEARS. It is only in this episode that he is called Twilight's brother and that is AFTER he has to practically spell it out to them that he feels underappreciated.
I really enjoyed this episode. It was pretty cool how the main cast got to contribute their ideas to the story, and Twilight and Shining Armor acknowledging Spike as their little brother was really sweet.
Episode 200 was awesome, especially with the references like how Rainbow Dash looked like Meg from Hercules when she distracted Zephyr Breeze and when Luna looked like a James Bond villain when she was sitting on her throne while petting that goose. And i wasn't surprised that Zephyr got fired from being a guard, because we all know from his actions in Flutter Brutter, that he can't be trusted to do anything right, especially not by himself.
The security guards who work in the castle with the stained glass windows depicting the Mane Six's likeness probably didn't recognize Princess Twilight because she wasn't wearing her official princess crown and therefore refused to associate the other five accompanying ponies as being part of the Mane Six.
Also, other than when a character is hiding or in disguise we see no sign that they are not being recognized (none of the guards speak so we don't really know one way or another). The idea is to get the crown without getting caught, not to not be recognized when seen outside the castle (if that counted then Twilight lost as soon as Shining Armor went to ask her what she was up to and she pretended to be looking at flowers).
I'm super happy that Shining Armor & the Royal Guards (with some assistance from the Wonderbolts) have the Spotlight by upgrading their security & forces, then testing it on the Mane 6! Even though this Revealed & Confirmed the major flaws of the Royal Guard that shockingly Zephyr Breeze pointed out & was right about; I still enjoyed the commitment paying off close to what I wanted: The Royal Guard & Wonderbolts handling an issue on their own & succeeding without the Mane 6 assistance. Technically they did but with an amazing twist of Luna and Spike being James Bond Villain Puppetmasters with the pet patting moment! Priceless Sibling moment!😉😁🤩👏👍
While watching the episode I was shouting that Spike should have been the mastermind. Then the ending happened but after laughing I realized Spike was still cheated as all his joy for winning had to come around the end of the episode instead throughout the episode. But if it went my way then the wackiness of this episode would be cut and the episode would be too short. What do you think other internet person reading this comment?
however, like the 100th episode, this one is also VERY different from hwo epsidoes are usually done and made to celebrate a very specific aspect of the show. First it was to celbrate the craziness of the fans, now its to celebrate the voice actors who brought the show to life.
Shining claimed Starswirl changed it to effect the magic of all creatures, and that would include changelings. Albeit, Chrysalis can't teleport anyway as far as we know (though she did use some kind of portal on Cadance and then Twilight), so it may not matter (the only magic the throne fragments block now are spells used to get into the castle).
If they don't ever tell spike origins and show his real parents, the only way I see we will know his origins is either in comics, another mlp movie, or just find some good fanfics of his origin created by fans.
Who knew Rarity always wanted to mastermind a heist? Crossovers with AH's GTA V Heist vids are now possible, fandom animators. I mean... anybrony else remember Achievement Ponies?
One Question. If Shining was in Canterlot handling his "Sibling Rivalry", ¿What about His Wife Cadence and His Daughter Flurry Heart? ¿And even his own empire?. He's a husband and Father, he should Love and protect his Family! The Family that he with all love Built! (But i Enjoyed the episode)
@@lancer737 Yeah but, he has (in my opinion) The most important Duty of his Life. His Family! I feel he was, a bit immature and impulsive in this episode. it's only my humble opinion. i like this episode 200. Thanks for the answer Bro. You are Great!
Here were my views on the 200th episode. 😍 baby Spike! So adorable! uh... Celestia, you DO realize how many times Shining has been useless at security, right? I mean, off the top of my head, there's his introduction episodes with the Changeling invasion of Canterlot where Queen Cheese Legs still got in, replaced his wife-to-be and he never noticed anything odd, and then his most recent blunder, failing to keep Sombra from getting into the Crystal Empire and holding Flurryheart hostage. You REALLY think he's the best pony to "improve" your security? First we got PUUUU-DING in Best Gift Ever and now this. Your sister can FLY, Shining. A trapdoor ain't gonna do squat if she can just hover over the hole. wait. If the fans stop any creature from flying too close to the castle, how could the Royal Guard respond to a threat that DOESN'T require flight if they can't fly down to stop said threat because the fans would prevent them from flying? Shining, your new security overhaul has more holes in it than swiss cheese! *Rainbow Dash always dresses in style* 😆😂🤣 Zephyr, I have a mallet with YOUR name on it. DON'T make me tempted to use it. 😠 Considering you're actions and words during Father Knows Beast, I was under the impression you didn't see yourself as their little brother either, Spike. Plus, you broke Twilight's heart when you said "maybe you're just jealous now that I have a REAL parent!" after mentioning Twilight was the one that raised you, so it was definitely implied that, though she didn't see you as a little brother, she saw you as her son and you saw her as your mother. I get what Cathy Wesluck was going for with her contribution to this part of the episode, but this just makes things more confusing for me.
you know what the geese security system reminds me of? One Piece FIlm GOld, which has a scene where the cast have sneak past security cameras...which in this case are weird bird things with glowing eyes that FLIP OUT if they see anyone
I think Shining Armor coming out from behind the thrones is bullshit. I mean, he probably could've been standing behind there for a few hours(if not the whole time), waiting until he hears footsteps to come out from behind and confront whoever was there. Practically guaranteeing that he wins
Hey I know cozy glow made some mistakes but can you sign this petition for COZY GLOW’S RELEASE AND REFORMATION no seriously just said yes No ones truly evil.
I don't care if Kim is old she is still my youtuber pony wifu
@Johnny Dominguez car wifi? The hell is that?
It that a car a
That has wifi I want one of thos
@Johnny Dominguez cool
The Ending was great, it felt like a shout out to the comics with Luna and Spike being friends and teaming up to do work.
As one friend of mine said:
"This episode is special not only because it was great, but also because of the story of its production"
Twilight and Spike's relationship is one of my favorites.

I love the zephyr breeze Kuzco moment at the end. zephyr really reminded me of Kuzco in this episode.
6:15 I've been making that Kuzco comparison with Zephyr's strut myself. So perfect!
It was pretty HEARTWARMING seeing Twilight and Shining Armor accepting Spike as a part of the Family .
Eeyup.
How lovely are this family :)
Haha!!! XD
Get it? Heartwarming? 'Cause the Holiday? XD
Okay. I'll show myself out.
*runs away from angry mob*

Dammit, KP! Now I have to go rewatch Atlantis....

also we haven't really seen any evidence of the royal gaud being....competant, at all, let alone smart

I am LOVING shining armour's smug expressions
6:10 I'm glad I wasn't the only who thought The Emperor's New Groove.
Not as insane as slice of life , but still pretty nice 😁👌
Slice of Life remains one of my fave episodes...it was neat to see the background ponies in the spotlight for once! 😂
Slice of life was a damn mess. I really enjoyed this
Rainbow dressed in style was my favorite part of this episode XD
Happy 200th episodes MLP: FiM!!
Thank you for brightening the hearts of so many.

I officially need Fluttershy's voice actress to do the dummy thick meme at a convention.
Both this and slice of life are great.
however, like the 100th episode, this one is also VERY different from hwo epsidoes are usually done and made to celebrate a very specific aspect of the show. First it was to celbrate the craziness of the fans, now its to celebrate the voice actors who brought the show to life.
I only just relied Queen chrysalis can still get pass as the changling throne wouldn’t stop here magic
Shining claimed Starswirl changed it to effect the magic of all creatures, and that would include changelings. Albeit, Chrysalis can't teleport anyway as far as we know (though she did use some kind of portal on Cadance and then Twilight), so it may not matter (the only magic the throne fragments block now are spells used to get into the castle).

Yes! I knew somebody was gonna do a Dr. Evil reference for Princess Luna, glad you did that! 🤣
I gave this a 9.5/10 Super Mushrooms, Spike is a sly dog, except he is in every EQG movies, shorts, and specials
Is it just me or were the jokes that you made in this even better than usual?
This really didn't feel like a 200th episode compared to 100 :c
This Mlp ep was FACE THE FACENING because there were some faces.
This was a lot of fun to watch, I'm not suprise XD
I thank you so much for that Alantis reference!
The geese is a Roman history reference.
love the suddle jokes from Atlantis to Emperor's new groove LOL
Who knew Rarity always wanted to mastermind a heist?
Crossovers with AH's GTA V Heist vids are now possible, fandom animators. I mean... anybrony else remember Achievement Ponies?
I choose to belive that rainbow's hair is a Megara reference
Como adoro las referencias del final.
4:14 "Mr. Flibble's very cross. You shouldn't have run away from him."
Glad it wasnt the only who thinks of the Emperor's new groove during this episode
Can we all agree that the episode is miles better than Ocean’s 8?
I see this as an RP section between the actors
Baby spike dawwww XD
I faked gagged at Zephrs moves onto rainbow dash
Also best editing with him as Kuzco
Luna is just like "Mr. Bond... I've been expecting you!"
Now the series is over and we still don't know how Celestia got her hooves on a damn dragon egg or why it was being used to test magical children.
2:40 element of honesty everyone.
Who's Spike?
*Who can say where the day goes?*
5:36 no but after hearing that I went looking.
I found several good ones & one unexpected one of Celestia in that position petting a cake....
Hell yeah totally want more doctor and Derpy
One Question. If Shining was in Canterlot handling his "Sibling Rivalry", ¿What about His Wife Cadence and His Daughter Flurry Heart? ¿And even his own empire?. He's a husband and Father, he should Love and protect his Family! The Family that he with all love Built!
(But i Enjoyed the episode)
She has to defend the Crystal Empire by herself af the time. The Crystal Empire is a vassal state to Equestria.
@@lancer737 Yeah but, he has (in my opinion) The most important Duty of his Life. His Family! I feel he was, a bit immature and impulsive in this episode. it's only my humble opinion. i like this episode 200. Thanks for the answer Bro. You are Great!
*she cares about the foil crown because it has emotional and sentimental value
Here were my views on the 200th episode.
😍 baby Spike! So adorable!

200th episode is great and for the 200th episode it was fantastic cause it was its own thing to be like slice of life
1:45 It's called Dignity and Pride
300th episode coming sOOOOn.
you know what the geese security system reminds me of?
