Oh, if there was this much griping and finger-wagging around it, I would. Believe me. I’m an equal-opportunity mocker.

@Brony_Conundrum  
No, if this was any character other than Spike everyone would give two cents and we would see more down votes.  
Doubt you would be popping in with a smile if Rainbow Dash was at the other end.

 
You know, you just know, that if this was any character other than Spike, everyone would be chuckling over what a funny bit of slapstick it was.

Human-Twilight’s a dick to Dog-Spike. Cinema Sins sin counter chime.

@Twilight Outsmarted U  
Same.
 
I also just shrugged, because it seems like typical cartoon physics, as in it caused absolutely no lasting harm.

@Twilight Outsmarted U  
Huh, you’re right. And yeah, I like subtle call-backs in the show like that.
 
I guess some find it a li’l harsher sense this Spike is literally a puppy, but I’m sure he’ll be ok.

Lol, guys and girls this is simply a call back to the first scene of episode 1! duh… Remember when Twi ran up the stairs to her private study loft she also bumped into spike and said “Spike… Spike!!!” I found it be a really cute self reference. :3

That there are so many up votes for this is the most disturbing thing of all.

@Trickquestion  
Are you ignoring the fact that it was a accident, and the scene were she hugs him? Or are you deliberately ignoring that?

pobre spike hasta en otros universos sigue siendo tratado como basura

@Beau Skunky
 
Then no idea why everyone punishes him instead of Flutters

@Itsthinking  
Admittedly, at first when I first saw the new show I wanted him to have a voice like the original Spike, (Charlie Adler, I think it was) but his new voice is a bit cuter, and grew on me.

@Beau Skunky  
I think it was because at the time AJ and Spike were the only characters dating back to G1 that Hasbro had definite control over. Faust specifically was influential in the selection of Spike’s voice; literally everyone else involved with the show in any way wanted a Smeagol-esque voice for him.

@FaustXXXVII  
I thought he was put in, because Faust wanted him, and other G1-era MLP characters in the show?

@MushroomCookieBear  
No, it isn’t funny for either one of them.

@Background Pony #A094
 
Because he is stuppid, useless and doesn’t contribute at all with the development of the series. he is just there because Hasbro ordered them to put the damn lizard on the show.

@Background Pony #5425  
I don’t know I remember them getting hurt worse then this before. Apple Bloom & Sweetie Belle even got electrocuted before, and such.

@Background Pony #5425  
It probably wasn’t acknowledged because he wasn’t actually hurt by the door. It just bumped him back, but it was exaggerated because it’s a cartoon.

@Beau Skunky  
With Spike it’s become a running thing with his bad luck. Most of the CMCs bring it upon themselves and that’s more in consequence form not physical pain.
 
@Itsthinking  
I think that how it wasn’t even acknowledged Spike was hurt makes it worse.
 
@Jarkes  
Think of it this way: the dog is Spike but not Spike. This Spike was raised with the knowledge of a dog confined in small living quarters having limited understanding of how the world works. He can’t even speak for himself when he’s hurt nor can guess in many cases why it’s happening. Not having the dragon body that can arguably take some of this doesn’t help either.
 
@MadBrony  
With a username like that should you even be complaining?

This exact same thing happened to my brother when he was a toddler. Except it knocked him back and down a flight of stairs. But he turned out okay so it was hilarious.

@Beau Skunky  
He does get it disproportionately, partially because of his tough exterior. All goes out the window when he’s a dog.

@MadBrony  
Not to mention the ponies themselves are prone to “amusing cartoony injuries/violence/accidents” too. Even the cutesy CMC aren’t safe from that kinda thing.

@MadBrony  
Well yeah, that’s kind of the point. Though I’d imagine that if the characters engaged in anything like this to any animal people would care.

There’s already animals being hit in the show, and nobody gives a shit. People are butthurt only because this is Spike. Nothing more.
