Edit:I thought Spike was more interesting than Megan. But I also frequently thought Spike was an embarrassment to human kind.
Is anyone familiar with Spike (not the dragon lol) from G1 Transformers, and if so do you think he was more interesting than Megan, less interesting, or about the same?I didn't think he was super interesting, and he also had the "I don't have any real flaws" thing going on, but he seemed a little more "real" to me than Megan. I think he worked better because he spent a lot of time being interested in and learning about the Transformers, whereas with post-RaMC Megan, there didn't seem to be anything for her to learn about the ponies; she knew enough about them / their world that they turned to her when there was trouble. Whereas TF Spike was constantly being amazed by the Transformers, and was often kidnapped to kick off the plot.
I'm not sure who was more whiney, Shady, G1 Spike or Molly.
I'd wager Megan was left deliberately blank, much as what's-her-name from Twilight, for the same reason. Both are meant as viewer/reader inserts, for whomever is watching to drop themselves into the story along with a very stereotypical little brother and little sister. I mean the bushwoolies have more character development than Megan... She's just very... decent at everything, has no outstanding flaws and thus no real room or motivation for improvement. It's also what makes her rather bland, since it tends to be a characters struggles that make them feel human.
I always assumed she was just a basic blank slate for any little girl to project themselves onto. If they had strong opinions and likes/dislikes it might interfere with that.
