>spike episode
Finally we get to see more of spikes friends.
Hey, where are you going?
>>
>>30758086
I don't know. Ember's whole thing is that she's weaker than the other dragons, like Spike. But then she almost takes out Garble on her own who himself is an alpha dragon in fights.
>>
>>30758112
There a bunch of teenagers in dragon years, well cept for spike who is like a pre teen..
>>
>>30758112
To say Ember's weaker is a false comparison. I think she's actually pretty adept at both combat and leadership, but she's just younger than her competitors. Spike is also literally just a 6-year-old, but it's fair to say his pony upbringing isn't doing him much good. Man, it's really time he gets a growth spurt, if only for him to have a non-awkward relationship with Ember.
>>
>>30757669
>He's sure the two new leaders are not going to get along so he does all he can to keep them apart
Race war when?
>>
>>30758167
Who would win in that scenario? It seems like the dragons would just crush the Changelings.

I'll be impressed if it's anything other than your standard "character runs from one hangout to the other while coming up with increasingly ridiculous excuses" episode.

>>30758253
I can forgive it if the character is motivated to act this way. Like if Twilight going to stress him over it, they the blame will lie on Twilight and not Spike.

So why would changelings and dragons want to kill each other on sight? What did they do to be so mad?
>>
>>30758270
That's even worse. Why the fuck would Twilight stress out Spike over this? Or rather, why would Spike let himself be affected by that kinda shit. He's the one who usually pulls her OUT of that. Or at least attempts to. (see opening of this season)

Alright, now the map has completely thrown me for a loop.
Starlight helped in turning it back on, I figured maybe that's why she was called. But Spike? He went through the time portal but I guess the map can call more than just the Elements now. Funny


Also Thorax's wings, different position? They're like his tail now. Thought Ember might get some Dragon Lord gear too

This episode is really really strange. It's got a lot of great charming characters and interaction wrapped in a contrived premise that just makes Starlight/Twilight/Spike straight up idiots or silent for the sake of continuing the plot. Joanna and Kristine must have edited all of the bad characterization while keeping Hamilton's original storytelling in tact.

- "Spike fucks up" is such an extremely dumb and useless premise. The entire writing was horseshit.

Sum: 7/10. Great episode with terrible writing. Everything was stilted as fuck, artificial conflicts with arbitrary solutions. Shame, because the details were marvellous, but you can't polish a turd above mediocrity.

Frankly the map calling Spike is weird when you think about it. Spike hadn't finished causing the friendship problem yet and so the map called him, putting further strain on him to do 3 things at once instead of 2, which ultimately led to him causing the problem that he then 'solved'(not really).

Can the map see the future? Or does the map preemptively cause every friendship problem it asks the characters to solve through deception?

Cut Spike being a retard and instead have him act normal. Have Ember and Thorax not really get along at first and argue and stuff and the crux of the episode is Spike trying to get them to get along despite their differences, then Spike ends up in danger and both Ember and Thorax jump in to defend him. Thorax and Ember become friends, give each other advice and Spike gets to be a mediator instead of being a retard for the whole episode.

Characters are all over the place. Spike is acting how Twilight would act and Twilight encourages him to act as such. Both leaders arrive unaccompanioned to a casual meeting. Both have non-problems. Thorax is not assertive enough to lead, but does fine teaching Ember. Ember's leadership is bound to the Bloodstone scepter, which already dominates the dragons to it's bidding. Episode feels slow. Starting with them in front of the townhall, to Twilight's castle, to town, to lake and back to townhall.

Spike prepared for Ember's arrival, wrote down that she is a dragon, but forgot to serve gems, which he also prefers.

Have Thorax and Ember meet and become friends in the first five minutes. We already know that they're going to get along, there's no reason to act like it's going to be a surprise. After that, find a reason for Spike to try and keep them separated anyway. Bam, done.

>>30759624
It isn't new, but it's just not that entertaining to watch.

It's not even that his character seems genuinely stupid, it just so happens that in half of his episodes he seems to go full retard just because the writers felt like it. As a supporting character he isn't nearly this bad.

Mind you, this episode he only went half retard, and the supporting cast carried this episode well enough where it wasn't total trash. But still, they could at least try to keep his character consistent between when he's in a supporting role and when he's in a lead role.

>>30759399
It uses statics to calculate where a world threatening friendship problem appears, how to solve it and relays it with the limited visual aid from the map.
>>
>>30759643
You ever tried writing?

Not to be dismissive of your criticisms here, but it's fucking hard sometimes. Some premises just kind of work and you don't really need to do anything special to get them to really shine.

Then there are some premises that sound good on paper, but are just plain difficult to write. Every draft you make ends up having some kind of plothole or flaw and you just gotta go through and rewrite it over and over again until it seems passable, and then at that point there's probably going to be a few plotholes you missed anyway since you've just spent too long staring at it.

This episode had a few flaws in how it was written, that's for sure, but it's to be expected to a certain extent.

Again, to be clear, I'm not saying that the flaws should be forgiven or dismissed, just that they should be expected.

>it's bad because it's bad

>>
>>30759665
I agree on most of that, but after seven seasons, keeping the characters strictly consistent also limits what they're able to do with the cast plot-wise. At this point they're running out of ideas and have to write the characters to fit the plot rather than the other way around. Altogether not a good thing, their only two options to avoid that is expand the cast, which a lot of people have expressed distaste for, or drop this generation and start with a fresh slate entirely.

6/10 It was OK?
While the plot was really generic and clumsy (not to mention retreaded several earlier episodes like Sweet and Elite and more recently Celestial Advice which honestly should've had both Twi and Spike's bells ringing) and Spike was basically typical Spike episode Spike, I can't really bring myself to rate the episode just average or below because I really enjoyed the framework and thought it was well done (as someone else said, pretty much everything without Spike was great, Spike helping semi-random (good use of Lyrabon in my opinion) ponies was great, renegade changelings confirmed (>implying they'll come up again), well-done meta humour, Thorax and Ember helping each other was great although it kinda made the plot dance around a proper resolution by Spike).
>>
>>30759730
I agree with that too, characters should have room to flex and grow and move around, just like real people, though I just feel that the whole "Spike is being neurotic" thing is just plain bizarre considering his character.

I guess I just don't get why the decided to make this particular thing a reoccurring thing when it doesn't seem to be a part of his character in other episodes.

>>30759746
Keep in mind that since this is a 1-10 poll with 1 and 10 demarking the extreme negative and positive that would make 5.5 neutral, statistically speaking.

So that means that people here are only rating it on average "slightly above neutral" which when you consider the fact that the people here are fans of the show and will generally have a positive bias towards all of the episodes that's pretty much just a total "meh" vote.

Not offensive, but not particularly worthwhile. Just a lukewarm showing overall.

>>
>>30759939
What I mean is, this plot, as in this episode in general would not exist if they didn't write Spike into this role, there was no other way to write it to have this lesson take place.

Personally, I would have had the conflict between Thorax and Ember and have Spike attempting to be the voice of reason, but there would have been a completely different lesson at the end if that were the plot.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just reposting in both discussion threads to make sure that everyone catches the strawpoll.

If you have yet to rate Season 7 Episode 15 "Triple Threat" in this strawpoll then please do so now once you have watched the episode. If you've done so already then ignore this and all subsequent posts by me.

The episode can be found here if you haven't watched it already, or if you just wanted to give it another go around.

Other than that, continue having a wonderful day!

>I think character flaws are the same thing as narrative flaws

I want you to read what I'm about to say very carefully and take it to heart. This is very important and I'm being 100% serious.

Don't breed.
