So... this one... yeah, even you noted how.... not great this one was. While there's been eps that I've said were 'bad' before, they usually have some caveat, MMDW was the first "everyone hated it" ep but has since gotten memed so hard as the 'bad one' that it's gotten defenders for not being as bad as it's claimed, and it does have some good points. PYHD gets defnded for peple liking seeing shy be more assertive and not as much of a doormat, despite the other issues with it. This one? Yeah, no one really defends this one beyond general "Well, you don't have to be so negative/It's not THAT bad". It easily ranks in the top ten for 'worst ep of the series. Not THE worst, but one of them ( off the top of my head I'd say third worst) Mostly for things you called out, Spike being utterly incompetent far beyond anything he should be, on top of just being annoying. Not to mention the whole "Noble Dragon Code" coming right out of nowhere... and no it is never mentioned again. While Spike being the sole cause of conflict via grasping the Idiot Ball is par for the course for Spike eps... this one is just the worst about it. Let me put it this way, this is one of only 2 episodes in the show that someone credited as having helped make it has publicly disavowed the ep and made clear the only reason their name was attached was legal/union reasons that meant it had to be. Not the actual credited writer, Merriweather Williams (Yeah, familiar name in the context of 'bad' eps, no?) But Dave Polsky, who got a "Story by" credit. So while Dave did pitch a story with this basic idea, his version was Spike saving Rarity's life and pledging to serve her, but he and the other writers scrapped the idea when they couldn't find a way to do the ep that didn't end up with Rarity coming off like a bitch. Then William's came along amd decided she could do something with the idea. Beyond that... IDK are the creatures that an just animate piles of wood possibly magic? And as to Twilight being Spike's mom... not really. This is something the fandom has debated for years, but for me, Twilight isn't a mother figure and their dynamic really isn't like that. She's more the big sister who helped raise him type dynamic, so overall a sibling one, but with a few maternal overtones due to the degree of age gap.
