Yes. He never was worthless. Spike had more insight and common sense than the mane 6 a lot of the times. He messed up and won like everyone else. Spike wasn’t battle pron but always had an unexpected way of coming out on top in situations–the buffalo worship, mounting Twilight to save Rarity, being right all along in Lesson Zero. The writing didn’t need to help up lifted him because his merits stood on their own.
 
What happened in season four was one of the worst break in show writings I have ever seen. A long established character was brought down for a bad joke or because certain “writers” were too uncreative to know how to use him and fell back on their pet characters each and everytime.
 
The whole situation was just sickening.

Yeah, after he saved all those ponies in the stadium, I can’t laugh at him as a worthless joke of a character any more. And I liked laughing at him, so I feel really bad now.
 
Oh, wait, he already risked his own life to save the Crystal Empire and proved he wasn’t just a butt monkey two seasons ago, and was the only one attentive enough to get help when Twilight was going nuts over her deadline. He’s always been useful, and I can’t feel bad that he’s still useful now.

Spike: season five ending villain. The entire show has been his evil backstory - he will close his eyes on the light of friendship and embrace the darkness of hatred…

Again,people.Think about Applejack slap as the way Gibbs slap DiNozzo when he say something stupid.

Spike’s portrayal this season wasn’t as positive as everyone seems to think that it was.
 
It was his fault that the cast got sucked into the comic.
 
He was the dumbass who nearly killed an entire race of bug ponies.
 
His crush on Rarity was dissolved, not resolved.
 
He caused the whole mess with the spell, and let Ponyville suffer for his “friend.”
 
Twilight was about to save they day… he simple got there first.
 
In the first five minutes of the second-to-last episode all of his positive development were blown away. And then he got hit, because child abuse is always funny.
 
Slapstick? Everyone gets it? Okay, fine… but Spike has gotten way more than any other character, and he’s never allowed to really be a good guy, it’s always tempered by him being awful in some other way.
 
Yeah, and when somebody points it out, the Spike haters jump all over them.

Even seeing the bait tag I agree with the OP. I glad some people still care for Spike.
 
It kind of sicks me how so many fans go on about holding the purity and innocence of that show’s universe but are ok with character abuse at the level that it was this season. Disgusting.

Spike was the hero of two episodes, had some great bonding moments with Rarity in a third episode, and got a throne next to Twilight’s in the pony version of the Knights of the Round Table.
 
Why does OP hate Spike so to think he doesn’t deserve that?
 
@amess  
I really, really hope they do a gag along those lines in season 5…
 
@Background Pony #0B86  
If they hate Spike, why’d they make him the hero of two episodes just this season alone, as well as give him some great bonding moments with Rarity in a third episode, and a throne next to Twilight’s in the pony version of the Knights of the Round Table?

I, too, feel bad for the way Spike has been treated in season 4: He had way to many positive portrayals.
 
 
I’m kidding, by the way.
