Sunset Shimmer will revert to evil!

With the few believe sunset shimmer and spike were proud of the group hug when for spike’s case he could have an up-skirt view of flutter-shy and possibility rarity.

Sunset Shimmer,  
 
Imitando a Ashley Cole

Fluttershy’s face though.

@A Jacked Up Guy  
I thought you were. You weren’t the person who threw a whining fit here, so I had no beef with you. Maybe a little pork, but certainly no beef.

@Somber Star  
Wait… congratulations? Are you trying to start something?

@A Jacked Up Guy  
Congratulations!

@Somber Star  
For the record, I was the first commenter

@Background Pony #44BF  
But they’re not his friends! He’s literally an animal to them! They’re barely Twilight’s and Sunset’s friends, and even then only because of plot arbitration! So yes, your commentary is both pointless and whining. So please, just fucking stop.

@Somber Star  
No, you you’re not getting it. Spike’s lack of importance to the plot is not the same as his so-called friends crowding Twilight and ignoring him!
 
This scene showed that Spike’s so-called friends adore Twilight but barely notice him (which I’m utterly SICK OF, as well as people like you, who believe nothing needs to be fixed). The rest of the movie showed that Sunset’s journey to redemption never required Twilight’s involvement at all! Those are two different things. That’s not a quality, it’s a pointless distraction. The movie should’ve either been about Sunset Shimmer, or they should’ve come up with more than jack squat for Spike and Twilight to accomplish. You wanna call that whining instead of complaining, that’s your prerogative.

@Background Pony #44BF  
Ok, so you’re using an explanation that you understand that your whining is pointless to justify your pointless whining. What are you even trying to get at? This movie isn’t about Twilight and/or Spike. This movie is about Sunset’s path to redemption, and consequently she’s had to have enough screentime for that journey to be properly shown. What you’re doing is the equivalent of saying a character focus episode on some other member or two of the Mane 6 is ruined by the absence of attention on a character you like who is not that one or two. That’s not a flaw, that’s a quality. Now please stop whining.

@Somber Star  
It’s hardly “one minor detail”. Twilight is smothered with affection while Spike is ignored. If that happened to me, from my own alleged friends, I’d be pretty hurt. And this happened three times. Probably four. Besides, that’s not primarily what ruined the movie; it’s just a trend that–as you say–was consistent with the nature of the show. If one wishes to be a Spike fan, one must has a seriously resilient sense of optimism, which isn’t as easy for most people as you seem to think it should be. What did ruin the movie for me was that Spike and Twilight had no roles. Twilight was just a distraction, and Spike was entirely pointless.

@Background Pony #44BF  
Your opinion is that one minor detail consistent with the nature of the series in spite of your disapproval is what ruined this movie. Explain to me how that is not pointless whining.

@Background Pony #44BF  
Only to those who are thoughtless, stupid, and/or whine about things, especially things that are pointless.

@Somber Star  
Jerk much?

@Background Pony #44BF  
So your opinion’s presence in this conversation is equivalent to Spike’s presence in the movie, only actually pointless, rather than nominally so. Thanks for clarifying. Personally, I don’t care about his relative lack of involvement this time around.
 
The first movie practically hinged on him, and he was used with Vinyl to Deus Ex the gang out of the maintenance area in this one. At least he wasn’t running around generating “slavery is ok” vibes like usual.

@Somber Star  
The hell it is. No goodbyes, no welcomes, Twilight got swarmed with both. And his presence in the movie was pointless; he was only there to be cute. Who cares that he’s smiling all the time if he’s never used for anything?
 
Besides, I’m not arguing about the movie. This my opinion: it treated Spike like crap, and I hated it.

@Background Pony #44BF  
Except Fluttershy frequently carries Spike and even sleeps with him, and the rest don’t treat him any worse than their pony equivalents do, so your argument is invalid.

@Background Pony #44BF  
Even the human world hates Spike.

@Darth Sonic  
Do I need to freaking spell it out? Rainbow Rocks heavily implied that the mane six are Twilight’s friends and not Spike’s.

@Background Pony #44BF  
Wut.

Yep, this is the moment that thoroughly ruined my mood for the rest of this stupid movie. The lack of goodbyes from Equestria could have just been an unfortunate oversight, but then he actually steps back while everyone swarms Twilight with greetings.
