Really, this is really sad on many level:  
why people care more about the look, and less about how he is essentially demoted to background character at best.  
Spike times and times again proved to be a character all and for himself, worth being the 7th main character of the show(8th if we consider celestia too)  
But nooooo he is a brealy cute puppy, unable ot express his love for rarity, to make his emotions TRULY known beyond assumption of idotic teenagers.  
You make me sick people. You should be ashamed

And that could make for interesting characterization. Hell, Nickolodeon built one of the most complex and heavily characterized cartoon characters ever off of parental abuse. But it this case, I’d say it’s the writers themselves with the delusion that Twilight’s a good… whatever.

I honestly think that Twilight has some sort of mental issue where she sees herself as a perfectly doting mother/sister/whatever-figure in Spike’s life despite being pretty bad to him. Spike just gives into it when she actually does act like it because he doesn’t get love from her at any other time.

And I’d honestly be fine with that if they actually treated it as a character flaw for Twilight, and have it influence Spike’s characterization. But most of they time they seemingly don’t realize Twilight is acting like a horribly abusive parent or are expecting us to laugh at it.
 
It makes those moments the writers obviously intended to heartwarming, like the scary door in “Crystal Empire”, come across as completely hollow and hypocritical. Twilight dosen’t give a damn about him any other time, so how are we supposed to take this complete 180 in behavior with a straight face?

My biggest problem with Spike the Dog is that Twilight is going to freak out over being a human and not give a single ounce of concern over Spike’s transformation and this will be presented completely unironically. I’d be overjoyed to be proven wrong, but given the show’s record I doubt I will be.

Wait, what?  
Am I the only one who think Spike looks like an abomination? I don’t mind the fact that he’s a dog, but why’d they have to make him so ugly?
