Well, now what do they do with him? What's left to do that

Shipping with Rarity and Starlight

>>29297389
he still has to grow up into the knight he dreams he is.

Figuring out how to best write him off the show.

>>29297389
>wings that aren't going to sprout magically
They'll fucking do it, just you wait.

>>29297760
he is a sea dragon which will be revealed in the movie

>>29297760
Spike toys are selling but they need more merch, tack on some wings I guess.

>>29297772
Is Steven Magnet his dad?

>Most of the episode revolves around the CMC and/or Twilight trying to figure out why Spike can't fly through wackier and wackier means.
>By the end, they find themselves near a huge lake.
>"Spike? It's you! My long lost brother."
>"Tell me, brother, I'm not a flying dragon, am I?"
>"No, you are a water dragon, mom and pop lost you during a storm, you must have been adopted by ponies."
>Cue the ponies going "I didn't know there were different kinds of dragons!"
>Aesop about not trying to be something you're not.
>Roll credits.

It's a shame that the writers of the show will never care to expand on any of this.

>>29297807
Just transplant Twilight's wings and everyone will be happy.

>>29297992
He had some of the best episodes in S6 so maybe they will.

>>29297389
>Well, now what do they do with him?
Nothing.
Nothing of what they do with him ever has any impact on himself as he's only used as a crappy plot device to introduce or advance things at his expense.

> Buh-but Dragonlord Spike! Ember! He-he gained so much power and influence
Completely forgotten after that episode. Literally, never ever commented again.

> Buh-buh he became Thorax's friend! He, he became a bridge between Changelings and Ponies!
Defeated offscreen, Thorax immediately bonded with Starlight and Trixie, after all Changelings were reformed all credit went to Starlight Glimmer while Spike didn't even got a single fucking line.

>>29298765
How many times would the first be relevant?

>>29299649
A single passing comment would have been enough to not let Gauntlet of Fire's events go to waste, Anon.

And before you say "Probably they are saving for a later season" I remind you that the series is targeted to little girls, and little kids have absolutely NO patience or a fixed attention span, so asking them to "wait" over a year for the offchance of GoF's events going anywhere is the same as telling them to wait forever.

A single passing comment was all what GoF needed to stay fresh on the kids' minds. Not even that happened.

>>29299916
Didn't they wait four seasons to bring Gilda back?

>>29298765
>major actions or events undertaken by characters are never been brought up again
What show are you watching, anon?

>>29297396
This

Also S4 finale directly referenced It's About Time and retconned Cerberus leaving his post from being a one-off gag to being an important plot event.

>>29297988
kek

>>29301654
It's funny that IAT is retroactively one of the most important events of the whole show. Both Cerberus and the time scroll, two things we think were one-offs, lead directly into both S4 and S5 finales.

And people STILL bitch about the writers not watching the episodes...

>>29299940
And do you think that any of the original kids who watched the series 4 years ago gave enough fucks to keep watching until Gilda appeared again? Having a huge number of other cartoons to watch whenever they wanted as soon their interest on FiM waned off?

"It's for little girls" says the fat fuck who is NOT a father and knows NOTHING about kids, or how to direct a show with continuity and with a style that is not at all like Ed, Edd n' Eddy.
