Description
Spike is pretty much the bravest character in the show. He knew he didnt have the first clue what the Cloudsdale Anthem sounded like; he knew he was going to absolutely super maximum fail; he knew that the eyes of literally an entire nation were on him and he had nowhere to hide; he knew he didnt have a chance in Tartarus of coming out of it with any shred of dignity left intact. And he went out there and sang that bonniedamn song the best he could anyway, because he had made a commitment, and By Lauren he was going to keep it. He was terrified and miserable and dying inside the whole time, and He. Kept. Singing.
How many other people in the show could have done that? How many people in the audience? He’s a little kid with severe anxiety and near-crippling identity issues, and he kept singing.
Spike is a hero.

Spike is a hero.
I know, sad moment for Spike, but sacrifices must be made.
Yes, MLP: FIM would’ve been entirely better off WITHOUT Spike.
One more thing. Being protective over Spike with assumptions about the letters, that “every living thing have magic,” and that it would’ve been “overkill” by using the Elements of Harmony against some teenage dragons who plan to invade Equestria to steal beds. THAT’s overkill.
And, there’s no clear evidence that Spike is friends with “everyone.” You know that Twilight is the Princess of Friendship, by the way.
I also haven’t seen Pegasi doing such
Even a lightweight like Fluttershy can hover with a whole skywagon full of frogs out behind her like she was on solid ground, so they’re definitely using levitation magic to fly.
Believing that “maybe she had no choice” or that “maybe a spell that would let her send messages herself doesn’t exist” can’t be proven by just saying “maybe.”
Overkill? You think it’s “overkill” only because Spike wouldn’t get a chance to show off? As I said, the question is where Garble’s hatred of ponies came from or why anyone would invade an entire land to get something a little more comfortable to sleep on instead of rocks. You’re assuming that dragons DO have magic (which they don’t), but they can’t learn how to make beds themselves?
No offense, but the Spike-fandom is just like Chernobyl radiation. Why bother defending him so much since he’s just a cartoon character, after all? It isn’t worth it.
Maybe she has no choice but to use Spike to handle the letters. Maybe a spell that would let her send messages herself doesn’t exist? After all, every time Celestia sends her correspondence it’s through Spike, even though she has no way to know if Spike is currently even near Twilight. Celestia’s been around for eons, so if such a spell existed wouldn’t she know and use it?
And i haven’t seen a dragon use magic such as lifting, transforming or anything alike. I also haven’t seen Pegasi doing such, but it’s said that every living thing has magic. Spike is friends with practically everyone and friendship itself is magic.
Using the Elements of Harmony against the teenage dragons would be overkill, but they still have ways to make people talk. But, just like in Winter Wrap-up when Twilight didn’t do anything against the snakes that scared her, she also didn’t do anything against the dragon that scared her.
Such as what? When was the last time you ever saw a dragon use magic such as lifting, transforming, or anything alike?
Wasn’t there anything Twilight or the others could do against some teenage dragons? Use the Elements of Harmony, or combine all the princesses’ magic like they did to fight Tirek? Or, how about combining the princesses’ magic AND the Elements of Harmony? Twilight and the rest of Mane Six did many hard steps to unlock something most powerful, such as the Elements of harmony, like finding all the six keys, for example. And, you’d expect it’ll only TICKLE Garble because it’d be unfair for Spike for not getting to do something useful, just for once?
Having Spike handling the letters was a bad idea. Whenever there’s a critical situation, Twilight must report to Celestia, but she can’t because Spike’s not around. You heard what Twilight said in “Magic Duel” that she wasn’t able to contact Celestia without him. That’s why Twilight should handle the letters herself. It makes more sense since she’s Celestia’s student and a unicorn/alicorn, after all.
Dragons are far from weak and harmless and have their own innate, magical abilities.
Like breathing fire and, in Spike’s case, being able to send messages via fire.
Do you have, like, a point you’re trying to prove?
Do you have, like, an actual mental condition?
Well, you’ve done a great-looking picture, however. The only error is the description, of course.
Spike got all credit for no reason in “The Crystal Empire” despite all the hard work the other characters had done and the roles they’ve played. Like Twilight, she did most of it. Twilight figured out where the heart was, found the hidden passage to it, made her way up to the top in lights speed with her up-side-down magic… and Twilight passing the burden over to Spike was her OWN idea, and Spike only ran 20 feet onto a ledge and then fell. Shining Armor saves him AND the heart, then Cadance flew over there, caught them, and brought the heart to where it needed to go. Spike is NOTHING compared to that and doesn’t deserve to be the “Hero of the Crystal Empire.”
In “Gauntlet of Fire,” the question is where Garble’s hatred of ponies came from or why anyone would invade an entire land to get something a little more comfortable to sleep on instead of rocks. Dragons aren’t able to use magic, so they are, without a doubt, weak and harmless.
And, as BP# 6FE0 asked: Which one sounds bravest? Twilight risking herself failing a test that was given to her by Celestia during the Sombra scenario? Or Spike singing a song incorrectly?
Well, that didn’t appear in the description.
I’ve never cared that much about defending just one single cartoon character like Spike.
Yeah, and you’ll notice “disagree with someone about a cartoon Dragon” doesn’t appear in it.
Uh, they actually DO. It means: Expose the falseness or hollowness of a myth, idea, or belief.
None of you appear to understand what that word means.
You nailed it!
Yep, that proves even more the description is debunked.
That’s… not in the description.
Okay, but… the result did turn out… disastrous. “The Crystal Empire,” “Gauntlet of Fire…”
Also, it’s impossible and no point of having a character like Spike in the show at all if his origin was that he were just given to Twilight to be used as a test-object for her to get access to Celestia’s school. No evidence about where Spike came from were ever revealed. Lauren wouldn’t say that Spike’s parents “just died,” or his parents “just abandoned him,” or he was “just left on someone’s doorstep…”
Derpy, for being a small town mail clerk who joined in alongside professional special forces flyers from the Wonderbolts to attack an impossible to defeat overclocked Lord Tirek, so I guess you’re just a failure.
Twilight who risked herself failing a test that was given to her from Celestia during the Sombra scenario?
Or Spike who just sang a song incorrect?
