Talk:Spike/@comment-14554024-20180720190526

I still have him as my profile pic back when I first made a Wikia account in August 2013 (yes, I am an Avatar fan too judging by my name). I didn’t use this account, as it became obsolete on day 1, and I won’t become active here, I’m just looking back.

Damn, I really liked Spike. I was so intrigued by his design. He for whatever reason brought a really nostalgic feeling to me. I paid little attention to MLP before G4 (and I don’t consider myself a brony anymore, while I do think MLP is a decent show, I got into it out of trendiness, which I try to not do anymore...), but when I saw G3 Spike and footage of him, it brought back a lot of memories, despite the fact I never seen it before.

I guess TV shows (even G3 never had an actual TV show, it had direct-to-video movies) with settings like that just always appealed to me. I also like G1 Spike’s design, and I know previous MLP generations aren’t that well liked (well, G1 definitely isn’t too looked down upon), I honestly really did like Spike’s design in G3.

Spike just seemed so cute to me, as I always like cute young male characters, especially baby dragons, and his puppy form in EQ is what really sealed the deal (I prefer cats though, but puppy Spike was super cute). I’ve long since lost interest in Spike and MLP, but I can’t deny that I really did, and still do like Spike a lot in all of his incarnations. He just brought a really nostalgic feeling to me, and he’s the reason as to how I got into MLP, and even if I’m no longer interested in MLP, I’ll always love Spike.
