textDisplay: Spike getting wings wasn't nearly as divisive as Twilight getting them. Most were happy with it, and quite a few people I've seen consider this their favorite part of season 8's first half. I certainly was pleased. Spike has come a really long way since the show started. He's earned this.


textDisplay: Tabitha voicing Rarity with a temporary hearing problem is something I never knew I needed to hear.


textDisplay: That moment you realize that the diamond pattern in Ember's scales are really just acne scars.

textDisplay: So the worse your molt was, the more important you will grow up to be?

textDisplay: @@Narrator007 That would explain why Bill Murray's so important to Ghostbusters.

textDisplay: I'm pretty sure that's actually just a style choice

19:14 Twilight: "Spike?  How did you get wings?"
He could have asked you the same thing a few seasons ago!

textDisplay: Yeah! spike is now legal! I mean has wings, he has wings.

textDisplay: Umm…😳😳

textDisplay: Now spike is gonna be a REALLY BADASS CHARACTER in the this season and the last season

textDisplay: He was since season 3 for me

textOriginal: He was since season 3 for me


textDisplay: Spike have wings? LARSO... wait, this time its not him

textDisplay: He even said so word for word.

textDisplay: Josh Haber is basically the M. A. Larson of the later seasons (in terms of high episode quality, at least).

textDisplay: HABERRRRRR

textOriginal: HABERRRRRR


textDisplay: Congrats to spike for finally earning his wings.👏


textDisplay: Spike is definitely growing as a character (we can't call him a baby dragon anymore)


textDisplay: Spike: “I just sprouted wings!” <br>Me: Behold, Princess Spike.

textDisplay: This is a great episode. Seeing Spike in this kind of situation is interesting. I like how Smolder explains what's going on. Spike having wings if fantastic.


textDisplay: I have a theory that Spike should have experienced the molt before the Gauntlet of Fire episode. The reason why he is such a late bloomer is that he was raised by ponies that knew absolutely nothing about dragons and Spike didn't receive proper care while growing up

textDisplay: That is an interesting theory indeed!

textOriginal: That is an interesting theory indeed!

textDisplay: Except that dragons don't exactly seem like the nurturing type.

textDisplay: @@Narrator007 I have a theory myself in that the reason spike is such a late bloomer is because he's not getting proper nutrients in his diet. Dragons have sharp teeth and can grind diamonds to dust indicative of carnivores with the ability to crack bones wide open but also Spike seems to be able to eat a herbivore based diet there by Dragon seem to be omnivores of the extreme variety. It's just that Spike doesn't seem to be getting any meat in his diet most likely from fish and those giant eels from Goblet of Fire.


textDisplay:
This is another one of my favorite S8 episodes and Spike episodes. Not only is it entertaining, but fascinating too. I was always interested in learning more about dragon lore and I’m glad that this particular gave us another lesson on the subject of dragon growth.

It was cool to have Smolder explain to us that the molt effect was the natural way for dragons to age and that dragon greed was completely different from it. One of my wishlist items for this season was being able to see more mythical creatures and I was glad that it came to be with the debut of the Roc. This creature (among others) is one that I haven’t heard of since I was young, so it was great to have it being brought up to my attention after so long.

On the subject of Spike finally getting his wings, my first experience wasn’t all that was cracked up to be. Why, because of a massive outbreak of leaked images based on S8. No one was safe from running into spoilers after some nutcase hacker got their hands on unofficially released footage of these S8 episodes. Before we knew it, images of Spike with wings had spread like wildfire and no one was safe from being massively spoiled on this surprise. I was one the unfortunate ones that got spoiled on this and it was not happy to discover the situation with all the leaked episodes being posted on social media. This is why I called S8 “the season of spoilers” because of this unfortunate event.

But anyway, I was happy that Spike got his wings after all this time. This episode is top tier as one of the best Spike centered stories this show had to offer in my opinion (right up there with “Gauntlet of Fire”).


textDisplay: Still so proud of Spike finally getting his wings


textDisplay: This is definitely one of the stronger episodes in this first half. I love the callbacks to Secret of My Excess, and it's a great puberty lesson that would go down more obviously than Cutie Marks.

2:58 "If they stay in that diamond shape that actually kinda looks cool."
Is that why you like Rarity's flank so much?  :)


textDisplay: PonyBro: it takes a lot for a man to be adorable <br>Me: dude have you looked in a mirror? Any man who smiles genuinely can look a little bit adorable if it wasn’t for the sports industry making all athletes look mean and grumpy

textDisplay: You know what, I really like this episode, that Spike got wings finally, but, I have trypophobia, and you know, it was really hard to watch episode, to watch that stone scales, to watch Spike straching them... Sheesh...<br>But after watching this episode ebout 3 times, now I dont feel any discomfort, so, cool!

textDisplay: YES I've been waiting for this reaction for so long!


textDisplay: This honestly might be my favorite one-off episode of season 8. The suspense and buildup to Spike finally getting his wings was outstanding, especially 17:55 to 18:43. And everything involving the roc was just epic.


textDisplay: I never expected Spike to grow wings. But he actually looks better with wings

0:08 "Can changelings... Do they like, go in a cocoon?"
Does a cocoon of light count?  If so then yes, when then transform to good.  For about 5 seconds.


textDisplay:
As I’m watching this I realize I remember this episode way too well, i haven’t seen it in a while but I remember it like I saw it an hour ago

I guess I rewatch it way too much


textDisplay: I like how you're never wrong with the guesses but never completly right

13:27 "That looks like a sex toy!  Or am I just perverted?"
Well, it is designed to be used in an orifice.  Just not that one.

textDisplay: Spike now you know how Burning Godzilla felt.......well without the meltdown.


textDisplay: I think the reason why it took Spike so long to enter the molt has to do with the magic Twilight used to hatch his egg in order to get into magic school.

textDisplay: He didn't late to to enter the molt.

textOriginal: He didn't late to to enter the molt.


textDisplay: Well done Spike.
