One of MY favourite backlogics of why dragons horde is that gold and stuff is actually a vital micronutrient to them and they absorb it through their skin by lying on top of their treasure. =]
I agree with your 10/10 review. I'm not meaning to be rude Spike is Twilight's assistant because he is the dragon that was born in the egg that she hatched in the "The Cutie Mark Chronicles". So his age is no 50 or more. He is closer to being about the age of Twilight by a few years.
this is my favorite episode (so far) of season 2 as well :D mostly because Spike is my third favorite character on the show (sorry Spike, you'll understand when I say Rarity is the best pony). unfortunately when you tell others this it immidiately comes off as a shipping-aspect, which for me it's not... I just loved the episode as a whole
But I think Spike DOES age because Zecora says his greed makes his growth "speed". Plus Spike's voice sounds about 12 years old to me, which would be fitting because it looked like Twilight hatched him when she was about 6 (and I always assumed she's around 18 when the show takes place). I assume he's called a "baby" because dragons live, like, a thousand years, so being 12 years old in human years (pony years?) would make him 1.2 in dragon years.
Damn...I actually thought the dragon/greed/growing thing was kind of...random and....non-logical. Stupid, I guess you could say. But your interpretation, that they become bigger to protect what they own, makes a lot of sense.
hmmmm, must watch all your vids now, yet another brony to sub to, my fluttershy moment excuse me, ahem *yay*, there done with that, now to watch all your vids
Anyway enough of that, you've gotta be sick and tired of reactions like this by now.
I like how that episode furthered the dragon mythos, too! The way they wove that into a plot was pretty clever.
Little counterpoint: Doesn't the fact that the vet has no idea what to do with Spike suggest that he really is not a pet? It seemed to me like they just went there because it was the only alternative to a standard doctor.
god dammit i can't see anything related to Rainbow Dash, whether it be "20% cool" or a sonic rainboom or seeing her, without thinking about the "my little Dashie" fanfic. and i tear up every damn time!
You should be the face of a "I'm a brony and I'm proud of it" campaign :)
As for the review, I liked it. Well put together and coherent.
Town being destroyed every week - stimulating the economy. That is in fact proven in economics. Occasional riots and minor catastrophies in a western country raise the country's yearly GDP and bolster the economics :)
The racial joke, dude you made me laugh XD But these are the awkward moments for us whites when we dont know if it's alright to laugh or not.
honestly i was waiting for a back story about 'dragons' minutes before the end. do you have any video about that? because i got a bit interested when you connected some of MLP's dragons with our own mythological dragons :-) and i don't agree with you that only this episode would best convert someone instantly into a brony. i watched a random episode before... 10mins in the video and i suddenly found my self watching season 1 episode 1. I SAY ALL! HAHAHAHHAHA!!! hunky guys are the best BRONIES!
@Puglous The start is REALLY great, but it goes down hill from there pretty quickly and hits rock bottom at the ep with the Spike×Rarity shipping. Throughout it has it's ups and downs and it also depends on what you're looking for. If you're totally into shipping you'd say the series peaks at the afore mentioned shipping episode.
Definitely watch the first three episodes, those I can recall very clearly. The rest just didn't stick with me that much.
@Puglous Yup, to both questions. This episode just seemed like a bad fanfic to me, plus I REALLY dislike shipping of any kind in a series such as this. When you're at rock bottom, the only way to go is up.
But like I said, it's just my opinion. Other people may be really into the whole shipping thing etc. I'd say, watch it all, get an opinion and watch your favourite episodes over and over again.
You see? Haters need to see the manlier bronies like you. I knew you existed. And plus, I agree with you. Rarispike would never work. If they DID go out, rairty would dump spike. I see it now.
Yeah, I'm not gonna lie, I watched this because you're the first black brony I've ever seen, and one of the least "nerdy" too, but you're actually freaking hilarious - sub'd
It was nice to see Spike given an episode to himself. I've always figured if TS having a pet dragon and considering the other dragons they've run into meant they sooner or later would address the potential for him to become like that.
Subbed! Thanks for the review! I finally see another person of a race besides white that doesn't fall into the stereotypical spectrum that most people in general place us in!
Wow you just a made black joke, you sir have my respect.
Anyway, I agree with you 100% on this episode, everything about it was perfect in practically every way. Though I wouldn't say Rarity and Spike are together, but it is heavily implied.
If you ever follow the "ancient alien" theories and whatnot, a couple of themes pop up. A) Many aliens are (or at least appear to be) reptilian in origin. (Descendants of dinosaurs sPared from their apocalypse perhaps?) And B) Humans were bred to mine gold. Where these overlap, you can see where the hoarding dragon legends might come from. Maybe. :/
This was a great ep. and I loved the review (it's great to see someone else as passionate about this show as I am, I mean what's not to like, the show is both funny and endearing in the same way that a good Disney or Pixar film is :)
