Editorial: Spike the Not So Stereotypical

Spike has enjoyed a season of great growth. From getting his wings to expressing his love for his Ponyville family, Spike has come a long way from the baby dragon sidekick he was in season 1.

However, Spike has always struck me as a throwaway side character. His being a part of the series was only to help enhance the ponies' character development while being comic relief if a serious scene needed a bit of a distraction. I never would have imagined he would become pivotal to any plot beyond being a supporting role.

What is Spike's real purpose in My Little Pony, and what kind of future can he look forward to in season 9? All this and more after the break.
