he’s a baby so its baby jokes. like diaper changing trying to put the kid down. its gonna be like the babysitting ep where pinkie pie babysits the cake twins

@MadVillain
Or forget about certain characters that are supposed to be the mane cast.

@MadVillain
OOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooor he was to be the little brother of the group.
Maybe that? Since that’s what happened?

@Daneasaur
Except it does and you’re reaching.

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh

Okay even if they give sparky a backstory doesn’t mean they get to forget about spike’s backstory we still don’t know spike’s origins. WTH Hasbro your turning out to be worst like 343 industries.

I’m honestly convinced Spike was originally made to fit the “pet” role for Twilight. Pets seemed like they were planned for a bigger role than they got, what with all the merch and promos they got early on. But plans changed and they just made him a sidekick and gave her the owl. Then just due to already having 6 main characters to write for he didn’t get much thought until 5+ seasons later when they were running out of stuff for the main cast to do.

That’s because Spike was supposed to be the ponies’ annoying-yet-cute little brother that always wants to tag along with their adventures.

Honestly I think Sparky is gonna be like Flurry Heart. He/she is just gonna be a baby and mess things up then laugh about it. It’s just gonna have a smaller impact because he/she doesn’t have OP alicorn powers.

G5 seems to have no real ties to G4. G4 seems to be a fictional story series invented by Sunny that is based off of the research her father has done, thus the references are… just that, only references, thus we’re not in the G4 world.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
He’s only a few years younger than Twilight, so no.

@Background Pony #7EE0
The magic of magic, you mean, since dragons haven’t hatched for generations according to G5.

Ah, Cinema Sins quality “criticism” I see.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
Cause the writers hate Spike.

I would have to see him hang out with Snips and Snails.

Spike be like: “Whose this asshole?”

Even if your toy line is nothing but rainbow princess horses and glitter hair bows, it still needs more Ewoks.

@Background Pony #7EE0
And let’s be honest. It probably wad a toy reason that Sparky has wings not a creative decision. I dont have much knowledge of the relationship of toys and the show but I can imagine toy company would want Sparky to have wings as quickly as possible for aesthetic reasons.

@Background Pony #0B25
Yeah what would they even do with Sparky? If he is a baby character, the episode about hin would be more about the Mane Five taking care of him.

So it could work if they showed good characterizations of the Mane Five in handlung the baby. But the baby would probably not have much of a character in and of himself.

Aw c’mon everypony, all of these pesky plot holes and a decade of established world building can be explained away with absolutely no effort at all by a magical thing called: E V O L U T I O N

The most disappointing thing is that they would need to do a huge time skip just to get him to Spike’s age just to give him more character.

Sparky is literally a baby and it’s impossible to give a baby character unless you make him a joke like Poof from the Fairly Oddparents

@MadVillain
Seriously Spike was kind of confusing. If he was supposed to be a kid character than why wasn’t he hanging with other kids his age or at least close to his age?

if you look closely in the word sparkeroni, it spells spike.

I hope whoever is writing learned from the mistakes of Gen 4 to make the show better.

Curse of being Spike

Would be a shame if that happened.
