That's right! It would be really nice to see Spike have more character in the future! Like, he helps others with their situations, like in Lesson Zero and Equestria Girls, he helped Twilight out in snapping out of her panic. I also hope one day he realizes that Rarity won't fall for him, so she would stop using him. I don't care if Spike falls in love with somepony else in the process, I'm just tired of Rarity using his crush for her as an advantage to get what she wants.

Spike has awesome character, but the writers are just using him wrong. If he became more reasonable, that won't stop the females of Equestria being the heroes. The Mane Six are still the heroes, and the princesses are still in charge. Having males become less of humor and more reasonable won't change the female empowerment. It might help girls realize that boys aren't just there to be dumb, but more of just very helpful in many ways.
