Well I really liked "Spike's Search" and believe it or not I like this as well. Just that I didn't like the dragons. After this I'm gonna do a comparison between this and Spike's Search. Here is:
"Dragon Quest" review:
The episode opens up as the mane 6 are digging a trench.. Well not all of them. Rainbow Dash along with Twilight Sparkle, is trying to get Fluttershy to stay and as we already know she doesn't like huge dragons. She tells them pretty bluntly "No" even after Rainbow Dash tells her she had to sit through a butterfly migration. She runs off and Rainbow Dash cuts her loses and let's her be to open the theme.
The episode opens back up with them watching for the dragons and Rarity is seen wearing a flashy dress. Like that won't attract attention (Saying it sarcastically). Here comes the dragons and the others notice how scary they are and Spike comes in *Snickering* wearing an apron.
Spike:
Hey I thought you said you wouldn't laugh?
Sorry but your apron. *Laughs* Its just not scary its funny.
Spike:
Fine. Then I won't be here when you do the comparisons.
Touche. Alright fine. I won't make fun of your apron. Happy now?
Spike:
Very.
Anyway Rarity says he doesn't have to be like those other dragons. Which she is right. Those dragons are brutish and rude and exceedingly mean. And everyone agrees except Spike. Aw Spike is blushing. *Spike clears his throat* Jeez. Are you gonna be offended by everything I say about you during this review? Don't take it personally Spike. He walks off in anger and Rarity says something to make him more pissed. He keeps asking questions about where he came from and of course Twilight Sparkle says she doesn't know since he was given to her as an egg.
Twilight Sparkle suggests late night research. Ponyville has no known records. So Spike cries and asks if dragons cry. Uh yeah.... they do. That dragon from the Dragonshy episode did. He toughens up and says he's gonna find out the best way he can. By joining the dragon migration. He packs up his things and they suggest against it except Twilight Sparkle. She thinks he should go. They agree. They can't wait to hear about it. They of course are following him.
Spike is seen on his way to the migration spot. There's hardships and rough weather. When he arrives he sees the dragons and guess what? Their teenagers. The gang comes up disguised as a dragon and they have to keep a low profile otherwise their cover maybe blown.
Spike introduces himself and the red dragon (The leader) sees him. Another dragon calls him Shrimp because of his size. They all start picking on him. He says he's from Ponyville and they think he's part pony or a pony in a costume. They tell him to prove he is in a belching contest. He of course burps up a letter and they throw it in a lava pit which makes Twilight Sparkle mad. Next Tail wrestling.
The gang challenges Spike to one. They lose on purpose and the dragons actually think he is one till he gets cocky. They call on another dragon who despite his size has a giant tail. That one flopped. Next is "King of the Hoard" kinda like "King of the mountain". Spike reaches the top but falls again.
Next up is lava cannonball. They have to make a big lava splash. This leaves the gang out. Spike belly flops and thinks he was bad. The dragons say otherwise because no pony could do that. They dub him Rookie Dragon. They have a party and later Spike says he's going to stay.
The gang won't have anything to do with it. Now they're gonna raid and take Spike with them. The gang go after them by hoofing it. The raid? Take a phoenix egg. Spike pisses them off and the dragons take the hatchlings. They fly away but the dragons run after them. The parents stop them and get away. Spike finds a phoenix egg. He now has to smash it. He refuses. The gang defends him.
Yes they are and better friends than you. They run away. But Twilight Sparkle winks them all out before the dragons catch them. They're all safe. They are like family.
This week's lesson: Who you are is not what you are. The egg hatches and Spike tells the baby bird that he'll teach it how to be a pony to end the episode.
Good Points:
-In some ways this episode is like "Spike's Search" which is a good episode.
-Spike saving the baby phoenix showed he had feelings.
Bad Point:
-The dragons were bullies. That is all.
Above all it wasn't a bad episode. 9.5/10. Next up is a special comparison part of my reviews. "Comparison between Spike's Search and Dragon Quest".
