Description
I mean really, if I was to believe that, I’d have to believe that an ageless, powerful being moves the sun around our planet! …Wait, she does.
Well, at least I can confirm that I can make things look reasonably good with the old shade and light layers. This was two weeks coming, so I apologize for the delay. Don’t worry, the big revelation’s coming soon!
Nightmare moon maybe, the Shaddow Pony (Sombra is a Umbrim, what are a Shaddow Pony too).
They usual not have sunny side up fried Eggs, Bacon and Toast like it is fresh made.
Well I mean he was… but somepony special to him brought him back.
oh, so souls are mundane physical phenomenon. good to know.
but seriously, twilight once literally got on a soapbox and said that magic was just a bunch of hocus pocus, except for her magic which is totally legit. so there’s nothing wrong with her saying souls don’t exist, despite seeing lots of really soul-y things. heck, she once said that ghosts don’t exist, then came back from the dead as a princess. it’s fine if whatever they’re calling a “soul” either isn’t what twilight would call a soul, or it’s some sorta super saiyan sombra or something, different from what she’s seen, or if twilight’s just completely full of it again.
sombra’s not dead… ;) ;) ;)
Please note that at no point did Twilight say that it was the immortal, immaterial, magical essence of a pony. Also Sombra was very much still mortal; completely vulnerable to the power of the crystal heart when it was used correctly.
I’d say more about the matter, but you know… It’d be better explained in the comic itself.
right, so the immortal, immaterial magical essence of a pony isn’t a soul. like apples and oranges!
Well, arguably, the things that… Sombra, right? Anyway, what he did doesn’t actually prove the existence of such a thing as a soul, since he used magic to survive his own body’s destruction.
It be like… a genius uploading his mind into a computer or an android, to use a sci-fi example instead of a mass of swirling shadows. You’re not actually able to prove that anything spiritual took place, but just that a clever enough mind can make itself run something else then a squishy meat brain with access to sufficiently advanced training and resources.
So room for some philosophical debate, there, and I think that’s what the comic’s going for.
