Talk:Spike at Your Service/@comment-67.173.244.66-20121229205740

This is kind of unrelated, but i always wondered why so many people found it absurb that all the pony's forgave spike in "secret of my excess" after he nearly destroyed ponyville. I understand why you would think this way, but I personally think you guys are looking too much at a real-life situation instead of noticing that this is a cartoon. In the parasprites episode, the same amount of damage was achieved if not MORE, yet there wasn't too much panic after the parasprites wwere gone. In real life these creatures would have been considered a health hazard and probably contained and placed elsewhere for putting several lives in danger with the same treatment going to the timber wolves. In the valentines episode when the CMC's were finding Cherilee a very special pony, Cherilee busted down a door like nothing for pure comedy relief, which was pretty much never really noticed afterwards. Big Mac pulled a pony's house across the ground with his brude strength with nearly no consequences as we could see (I think it was BerryPunch's home, and she didn't look mad- just kind of confused and scared- and didn't persue Big Mac afterwards.) In the episode where Rarity and Applejack where forced together in Twilight's home due to a storm, a tree busted through her house and Twilight hardly even cared, with Rarity more interested in protecting herself from the rain coming in. I could go on, but the point i'm trying to make is that it's a cartoon, which means these sort of things happen all the time in a land where clouds need flying pony's to move them, plants grow by earth pony's caring for them, and animals don't care for themselves!! These were all intentional by somepony, yet in "secret of my excess" Spike hadn't intended anything and actually felt guilty afterwards. In the same episode, the mane six were just happy it was over and not worried too much about the damage with Rarity even going to comfort Spike after the ordeal.

I just wanted to point this out since I see it every time Spike is mentioned somewhere x)
