@@PhantomStar1987 I know right I would’ve loved if they introduced another dragon who was raised by a different creature maybe not even a pony maybe like a pony hybrid with something else like I’ve made my own fictional character who is a manticore pony hybrid who has a dragon daughter not only that he has Chimera and a Timberwolf son as well honestly, I would’ve loved it. They did that with the show introduce a dragon who was raised by a different creature like spike.
Spike deserved better treatment in some areas. I didn't like how he was almost always left out of the MANE 6's gatherings and treated like a servant from Twilight sometimes.
Honestly the simplest thing the writers could have done to avoid this is having Spike stay back in Canterlot with Princess Celestia from the beginning of the MLP FIM show so that he wouldn't be concerned with whatever Twilight Sparkle and her friends are doing
Spike is an analog of a "little brother" and that dynamic is realistic of siblings. When an older sibling has friends over for a playdate, the little brother is typically ignored and feels left out because the friends came over to hang out with his older sister, not him. Twilight's friends are *Twilight's* friends, they have no obligation to be Spike's friends. The trajedy of Spike is that he doesn't have his own separate friend group of boy dragons.
@@evanrhildreth so the ponies of MLP practice older sibling/younger sibling discrimination. That shouldn't mean Spike should've be left out most of the time.
Due to Spike's upbringing, he thinks less like a dragon and more like a pony. Where he got the idea of dragon's honour to serve AJ in "Spike at Your Service", I have no idea. I think the writers kind of sent the wrong message in "Owl's Well that Ends Well". Not once did Spike apologise for lying to Twilight or to Owlowiscious for trying to frame him. He could have offered to replace the burned book too. Instead Twilight thinks she wasn't sensitive enough towards him, which is kind of giving him a slap on the wrist for wrongdoing. In "Dragon Quest" it was bad luck that Spike met Garble's gang and not some other dragons first. I do think that Spike sports many of the traits G1 Spike had combined with the pride and mischief of G3 Spike. If you ask me, Spike makes a better fit for the Element of Loyalty than Rainbow Dash ever did. I have to admit that Spike does make miserable mistakes sometimes such as causing Ember and King Thorax to almost fight each other because he believed they would fight if they first met. I think his most impressive moment is when he worked with Luna and took the foil crown in "Twilight's Seven". Luna is definitely a pony that Spike can relate to. It does call for a "What if?" story where Luna is Twilight's mentor instead of Celestia.
Imagine if Spike got powers after eating that spell book he gave Rarity? If Spike had a child with some pony like Rarity, a Pony Dragon hybrid child would be the wildest thing to happen to Equestria compared to Discord
Despite what spike went through in the show, it’s surprising that he did not find himself a girlfriend. Even in G5, he still single. He deserves to find his special some pony or special some dragon.
Actually Lauren Faust said her daughter made Spike a gf and that was then onwards canon at least in some point of Spikes life. (her name's Emziko btw if you're curious. Thought it was cute to mention)
@@marshmallowbiscuit4553 Oh yeah, I heard of Emziko before, too bad she didn’t appear in the show. That would’ve been nice to see.(Is she a dragon or a pony? I can’t remember.)
I understand, great video. In my life, I have also struggled, to be accepted to someone, find where I belong, feeling lonely, trying my best to show others that I can be part of the group, who can help someone in need, even feeling myself not okay. So I think that I am somehow related to him. And I give all of me, to others. 😢 I understand him. 😢😢😢 My greatest fear of being alone. 😮😮😮😮
Spike is my favorite character and was actually the reason that I got into mlp. I only started watching because my friend said he watched it and I heard a bunch of people at school talking about it and I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about. At first it just seemed like another Barbie type show (appealing more to girls than guys) but because Spike was there a fun male character(I used to not be able to enjoy movies and shows, unless they had a male character as a main or secondary lead) so I decided to give a real chance and ended up, loving it. Also I see Spike as kind of the spirit of Harmony in a sense. While each pony represents an element on its own I like to think spike represents all the elements combined together. He’s loyal to a fault he’s pretty dang honest he’s really kind when he wants to be he is very generous at times he’s always able to make light of a bad situation And he’s also magical in a sense He has magic fire for one and his mock D&D character is a wizard could just be a coincidence but would be cool if it was intentional. PS Applespkie is best ship fight me
@@MPbmfm true how come he wasn’t human but yet the diamond dogs are that makes no sense honestly, as soon as I saw that for the first time, I was like OK quick question if the actual spike in this world met rarity would he have a crush on her? And I would be like I don’t need sleep. I need answers and I need them now.
You should see spike in guardians of Harmony he,s not a baby anymore he's 7 houses tall,has a voice that slightly shakes the earth, and is the biggest and oldest dragon lord that ever lived
And know about Spike feeling like not bloning like and dragon episode and the sibling supreme one has real family? Is Twilight and Shining Armor and has other friends
Spike has always been my favorite character in the series and I've been thinking about it too, but I think he was further affected by the fact that Twilight has been using him as a helper since birth
It didn't help that the Ponies were often Racist towards those who were not Earth-Ponies, Pegasi, Unicorns or Alicorns, like how Zecora was treated in her debut(despite Zebras being fellow Equines) or the fact that a doctor suggesting Twilight take Spike to a Vet of all professionals, or how they kept calling Iron Will the Minotaur a Monster, or Rainbow Dash thinking that Dragons & Tortoises were the same thing in the episode where Tank had to hibernate, and don't get me started on Season 8! Spike did have to deal with a lot growing up.
If Spike was a pony, Would being a Unicorn suit him with how he sent scrolls with sparks instead of fire breathing also writing Would be easier since non Unicorns do that with their mouth?
OMG Spike as a PONY would have been SO NICE!! Imagine instead of main 5, it was MAIN SIX That'd be pretty cool!! And especially if one of them was a male!? Idk, I just think it'd be cool, cause we don't really get a lot of male MLP characters that are main characters.
Ok. Gonna add my two cents here. Everything in this video is true about Spike. But there's one thing that I believe was missing. And that is.... that Spike is the 7th Element of Harmony. You might be wondering how or why I say this. Well, for starters, I've read a lot of fanfics on FIMFiction. One short story got my attention years ago. I can't remember the name of it. But it was a simple conversation between Applejack and Twilight where AJ hinted that Spike was an Element, and proved it by asking Twilight about her Cutie Mark. If you look closely at Twilight's mark, you'll see five small stars surrounding a larger purple star.....**which is on top of a large white star in the background**. Yes. That white background star represents Spike. Also remember that on that fateful day in which the 'Mane Six' got their marks (during Rainbow's first rainboom), Spike was born. This fact would\should connect his destiny along with the others. The hard question is... what is the name of Spike's Element? 'Support' would fit but really isn't an element per se. I was thinking maybe...'Perseverance'. Spike has been through a LOT. Mostly being treated like a "baby" even if he was only a couple of years younger mentally than Twilight, herself. Thanks to Twi, Spike could almost take a college exam at the beginning of season one due to him just being around her as an assistant. This also hurt Spike as, if everyone remembers, Twi was a complete shut-in and very anti-social. Thankfully, Spike had the will to talk to others; he just didn't know HOW to talk to others outside of maybe Moondancer. So Spike being the Element of Perseverance by learning from his (and other's) mistakes, being a peacemaker to his close friends, taking being called "baby" all the time on the chin but doesn't keep him down for long, just works for me in my opinion. 😊
Spike is not a baby anymore. Spike is like a teenager at this point now maybe even in his 20s who knows but honestly, I hate how some people keep referring him as a baby dragon. He is not a baby anymore. He is like a teenager or his mid 20s stop calling in the baby.
I don’t think he felt left behind he was given lots of task and was always with twilight he was never discluded he was always with them sure he wasn’t always them but you do know they are all girls he may not want to be with them time to time since he’s a boy
Spike should have been respected more in the show and it's sad that he doesn't have a dragon he can relate to 😢
@@PhantomStar1987 I know right I would’ve loved if they introduced another dragon who was raised by a different creature maybe not even a pony maybe like a pony hybrid with something else like I’ve made my own fictional character who is a manticore pony hybrid who has a dragon daughter not only that he has Chimera and a Timberwolf son as well honestly, I would’ve loved it.

Spike was one of my favourites. I just found him rather relatable at times and loved his sarcastic side
I think the camera guy drank to much coffee.
yeah
My favorite moment that’s focused on Spike would have to be, in the last scene of The Perfect Gift when he sings a song for Rarity.
Same and did she see that spike is in the new generation and becomes Dragon Lord!
Bro stop shaking the screen 😭
Agreed
You know today is the 14th anniversary of friendship is magic so this video came out at a perfect time
Spike as a pony now that would be interesting
Eeeyup
There is actually an official book in finland called "pony named spike." That tells the stoey of spike turning into a pony.
Quantum Hypologist made a video about the book "A Pony Named Spike"
But it's from Finland, so it's hard to understand. 😅🤣🙆♂️
It’s on UA-cam for English
I think he should be a unicorn with how he grew up in Canterlot and he can do writing with magic

@@trexadvent4726 how come? Even though the very thought doesn't sit well with me, I fail to see any purpose in him staying behind.

0:03 CORRECTION: Spike is Twilights little BROTHER and NOT just ger assistant!
correction Shining Armor and Twlight's little brother, as evidenced by an episode in the last season

Could have had fun makeing him a vader like figure that falls to his dragon ways and becomes a big bad.
Considering that he is one of the few creatures that managed to live through the Great Division , I'd say that's plausible

But luckily in the end everyone got along well

they're so cute together

Crystal Empire hero, Changeling king maker, Dragon Lord for a day, Raritys mane squeeze Royal adviser
Can't get through more than 1 minute 15 seconds of this screen shaking, makes it impossible to focus on what's being said due to the motion sickness.
I love your videos but the shaking is making me nauseous
Fr the entire video is shaking lmao, noticed it after you pointed it out
Sorry dear ;w;
😊😅😮😢🎉😂❤I know Spike is the coolest.
He is lol
They shouldn't just gave him wings but make him more physically different like taller
Exactly! That would make it so they could sell more toys! Boy that was a missed opportunity!😮
@HimeNoKuri oh definitely
Spike x Rarity go brrr
By any chance do you do theory videos
I don’t think he felt left behind he was given lots of task and was always with twilight he was never discluded he was always with them sure he wasn’t always them but you do know they are all girls he may not want to be with them time to time since he’s a boy
why is every part of your video constantly shaking
Earth quake lol
Her doing this like a few years after g4 has ended is just so funny but someone tell her I said this
I just don't really care about Spike and wonder why out of all of the chars from G1, they choose to pick that one.
Maybe they wanted someone to help twilight while she didn't know what was magic
Spike*
Thanks :3
I love dragons
