Sombra: KINGDOM HEAAAAAAARTS!  
Spike: What?  
Sombra: Sorry, sorry. I mean ‘CRYSSSSTAL HEAAAART!’

Don’t forget, he also snapped Twilight out of her Sombra magic induced daydream that made her think that she failed Celestia. If he didn’t she would be stuck there until Sombra got in.

Considering how much crap this guy’s got in the second season, I say this is a pretty good moment.
 
It actually feels like the climax to A Canterlot Wedding done right, though it did help me learn to appreciate it better.

@Dumb Rock:  
Eh, no, she teleported just fine. She was just made to get back inside as soon as she made contact with the crystals.
 
As for the second part: I am not disagreeing, his choice did help, but it was ultimately not as big as an issue because failed at it and could have been replaced with a well-placed kick. Even if you assume that she couldn’t do magic (which she clearly could) it doesn’t remove the fact that Spike’s contribution are more tangential than anything. Give him a medal all you want, but he isn’t savior of Equestria anymore than I, taking over my friend’s pot while he is away, am the great chef which made the thing.

The crystals prevented her from teleporting, I think any kind of magic (such as levitation) would have been impossible to do while in there. If Spike hadn’t decided to accompany Twilight, it would all have been over. His choice allowed him to save the day,

@BP:  
Which I would have agreed if she hadn’t used magic within said circle without getting her horn with rockitis, but that didn’t happen, she teleported and the thing prevented her from going out by leaving her just as she was but inside.
 
And if that was truly within its capabilities, it would have done since the beginning.
 
So, again, Spike is being overblown as the hero because he wasn’t needed, and when he was needed he essentially failed at it.

@ 1st BP  
You seem to forget one thing. Those crystals corrupt unicorn magic. Just having them encrusted on his horn prevented SA from helping Cadance.
 
Twilight when she was trapped in a “cell” of those crystals couldn’t use her magic even if she wanted to, hence why she had to rely on Spike to do it. And let’s face it, if Spike wasn’t around, Twilight would’ve remained mind-raped long enough from the Nightmare Door for Sombra to bust through once Cadance’s magic was exhausted.
 
So yeah, you go, little guy. You deserve that stained-glass window.

@BP  
Good man.
 
Let’s not allow Twilight’s fingerslave to get swell-headed. We all know what happened the last time…

Am I the only who thinks he is being given way too much credit? Twilight can move a whole Ursa across a forest but can’t move the heart to where she knows the others are? And what did Spike do? He went out of the tower and then tripped?
 
It’s not like he banished the evil either, Shining launch his wife towards the heart after he fucked up, tripped, and basically just didn’t exist through that time it was falling.
 
Seriously, say Spike doesn’t fall while he drops the Heart. What changes?

@gg666 Don’t be sorry! If anything it’s NICKELBACK that should be sorry. XD

i’m sorry :(

@gg666 This was such an awesome moment for Spike that I can ignore the use of Nickelback to stain it. It’s a November miracle! :D

And they say that a hero can save us.
 
Im not gonna stand here and wait.
 
I’ll hold onto the wings of the eagles.
 
Watch as we all fly away.

Nice work out there, scaly bro.

Spike was the MOTHERFUCKING HERO.
 
Seriously. Damn.

I could only think of two words to describe this. Fuck. Yeah.

And it was on this day that Spike, the butt of everypony’s jokes, saved an Empire.
 
And it was good.

I can’t seem to hate Sombra completely as he too is part of the show. But, it would’ve been cooler if he turned into a black serpentine dragon in his last ditch attempt to acquire the Crystal Heart.

celestia’s adopted “son” saves the day. it was destiny

Winning the love of all the Crystal bitches for the rest of his (extremely long) natural life.

That’s right Spike. You’ll get to be remembered as a hero instead of as a monster.

more of this, please
