These roles really don’t apply to the characters as they are now. Flash being smooth and confident has severaly dwindled as he’s had to deal with going from a big interest to women, to being ignored. Reliant on relationships, he’s become a bit of a beta now. Meanwhile Spike can take control of any situation he is given and adapt to it. He has evolved and grown both mentally and physically. He’s a total alpha.
I’m perfectly fine with this. ^^
But, obviously, this is the reason why Flash was incredibly disliked, and Spike, not so much.
Because Flash is unsympathetic as a “perfect teen” and Spike is sympathetic as someone with room to grow, with flaws and difficulties.
But can he breath fire?
Um, Flash’s pony form is a pegasus…
