@TheRocketMan
Agreed.
Why this was never explored, no idea.

@Ol’ Dreaddy  
You’d have to ask Lauren Faust.

@TheRocketMan  
Then why would they have Twilight rule a nation if she just dies of old age.

@Phoenixflambe  
Celestia and Luna are just referred to as long lived. Granted it’s something the show never explored but it’s shown that other alicorns age regularly as they remained the same.

@Penguinbrony24  
@TheRocketMan  
Then how do you explain Celestia and Luna to be a 1000 years old?

@TheRocketMan  
Exactly. The show nor any of the materials that were created from the show have ever explicitly stated that Alicorns are immortal.

Why do people keep thinking Twilight will outlive her friends? Alicorn immortality has never been stated to be cannon.

@Keira Alcove  
Facts

This all started with what I said… And she will outlive her friends because why would Celestia have her become the ruler if she just dies of old age… IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE!

@StormsparkPegasus  
Nobody cares about your criticisms.

@Keira Alcove  

 
I have standards. And I’m not afraid to criticize something I like if douchebag creators turn it into liquid poo.

@StormsparkPegasus  
You’re crap.

@Penguinbrony24  

 
Yes it is. It’s crap and I’ve done it.

@StormsparkPegasus  
Removing the entire season 9 from your personal canon is not the answer.

@StormsparkPegasus  
it’s not that deep m8

@Penguinbrony24  

 
Honestly, I solved all this by just removing season 9 from my canon. Deleted everything from my HD, just no longer consider it. Currently I’m part of a group that’s going to be re-imagining season 9 (taking out the ridiculous stuff like the tree being destroyed and Celestia/Luna retiring, and the idiotic “time skip” with all the nonsense that comes with it). The epilogue was named properly - it is one of the worst episodes of ANY show I have ever seen, and that includes Star Trek Voyager. It’s on the level of the Enterprise finale (which was a deliberate middle finger from the producers to the fans). Everyone is so far out of character in that episode (and to a lesser extent most of season 9) that they are practically parodies of themselves. It’s insulting and disgusting.

@holdmyponies94  
Of course it matters. The immortality thing is one of the biggest plot holes of the series.

@Penguinbrony24  
But they showed us visible aging faces of other characters, does it really not matter?

@Ol’ Dreaddy  
It was NEVER explicitly stated that Twilight was going to outlive her friends.

@StormsparkPegasus  

@Ol’ Dreaddy  

 
Not for me..I’ve declared fanon discontintuity on season 9 and just nuked everything I had from my HD. I will never consider this garbage canon, and in fact I’m part of a group that is going to make a new season 9 and ending for the show that isn’t insulting to the characters.

Spike is like: I’ll just stay cool and watch you guys talk to each other.

The sad part is that it’s canon that Twilight will outlive her friends. Immortality is more a curse then a gift.

@Rainbow Eevee  
She has to be since she now rules Equestria.

@TheAmazingPeanuts  
I agree about Pinkie Pie. I mean, she is my favorite of the Mane Six, but I’m also still a little curious about the rest of her friends.
