Spike mlp intents how to#
Your editorial sounds like you're trying to figure out what the meaning behind Spike is and how to make sense of him. The only character in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic who is truly misunderstood by the fandom. It turned out as a full-blown analyzis about Spike and the fandom, which is something I have not expected to happen when I started writing the comment, so I thought about sharing it here too:Īh yes, Spike. I give this episode a middling.I just came across an editorial about Spike on Equestria Daily and seeing a lot of the common misconceptions about him expressed in it, I spontaneously decided to write a comment about it. I don't hate the episode, but I certainly don't love it, making it by far my least favorite episode of Season 5. I definitely enjoyed Pony Marge, and it was nice to see Fancy Pants again, but that's about it. The only memorable thing about this episode are the cameos. The second half of episode has him going back to his childish ways, which I thought we were done with after the first three seasons. Actually, I can see Spike's good intentions, but the whole power abusing thing lacked transition, just coming out of nowhere after he talks to Cadence in the middle of the episode. As well as that, this was a step backwards in terms of Spike episodes. My main problem with "Princess Spike" is that I saw a lot of things coming and it really didn't have anything new to offer. He proceeds to sneeze, risking to wreck the statue yet again and - cut to credits. Of course, it ends on a joke, when Spike is given flowers that were actually from the Dragon Sneeze tree. They then proceed to fix the statue together, which is actually kind of heartwarming, I'll give it credit for that. Twilight wakes up just in time and finds the mess that Spike caused.
The delegates become angry at Twilight and proceed to her room. He tempts fate again realizing this and the Dragon Sneeze tree comes crashing down, resulting in him sneezing and breaking the statue. Cadence fixes it, and Spike notices the gemstone statue being intact. He does start to realize that he got a little carried away with the decisions, then he tempts fate by saying "it's not like anything bad happens." Remember that water main I mentioned several paragraphs ago? It breaks, resulting in a flood. When he meets Cadence again, he pointed out all the things he things that did not result in chaos. Predictably so, Spike starts to abuse his power a little more by getting himself pampered and having Pony da Vinci paint a portrait of him. Spike claims that he is carrying out these meetings for the good of the summit. He confronts Princess Cadence, who warns him not to let power go over his head. Seeing as Twilight will only have to worry about the reception, he goes to finish the rest of her schedule on his own, continuing to claim that Twilight sent him. Instead, Spike gives out the advice claiming to come out from Twilight, and it works. Geez, are these ponies too dependent on the princesses to not listen to advice from a dragon? That's cold. Spike wanted to give his own, but one of them didn't want to listen to him. When that leads to disaster other ponies come in for Twilight's advice. Her "I'm pancake" delivery in "Castle Sweet Castle" was so funny, that it was great to see another one here, but only once.įeeling even more pressured, Spike steps outside and lies to them, pretending that Princess Twilight gave the orders. Honestly, I think we could have used more sleepy Twilight in this episode. Ooh, a jackhammer, let me have this one:įeeling pressured, Spike goes to sleepy Twilight for help, and we get a funny line from her. There is a polo game going on, a pony is about cut a Dragon Sneeze tree (which Spike is obviously allergic to) with a chainsaw, and another using a jackhammer to fix the water main. However, that bird is nothing compared to other stuff that have potential in disturbing Twilight's sleep. I will admit, it got a chuckle out of me. What makes up for that, though, is that after Spike tells the bird to stop, it takes a bow and leaves. He goes to tell the bird to quiet down, rather than just, I don't know, close the window. Things go smoothly until he looks out the window and finds a bird singing. Way to start things off, episode, as if that wasn't contrived enough.Īfter that scene, Princess Cadence tasks Spike to watch over Twilight, who proceeds to take a nap before the reception. However, the crowd doesn't even notice him and give praise to all four princesses. That will come into play later.Īfter an exhausted Twilight speaks to the crowd, Spike proceeds to say a few things. We are introduced to a statue that Princess Cadence carved up with gemstones, each representing the cities. It starts at a summit in Canterlot, where ponies from all over Equestria join together and learn about one another.
