Description
I seriously couldn’t shake this feeling while watching the finale, and I honestly needed to share it with you guys. Feel free to disagree. Honestly I don’t think the writers intentionally copied the Bible. I think they just wanted the show to have the most positive ending possible, and the Bible just so happens to also have the most positive ending possible. There’s a reason they call it “the greatest story ever told.” The one thing I might have changed to make the allegory more complete would be to have Twilight resolve not to rebuild the castle and instead live and travel among her people throughout her reign, since the Bible says that in the renewed world there won’t be any need for temples.
Please share your thoughts. I can’t wait to hear.

True, it’s valid to compare things like that - never said it wasn’t, was just giving a sarcastic response back then. Either way, yeah, I don’t have any more to say either, so good day to you as well
Very well. Then I’ll enjoy my fandom and you can enjoy your fandom.
Edited
Hey, if they believe in that (IOW they’re a part of the Jesus fandom), whatever, good for them (I guess), but works of fiction are works of fiction, and I’m not gonna try and disguise that fact to avoid stepping on toes or whatever.
Perhaps you should think a little more carefully before lampooning on something a lot of these users believe in.
Honestly, the one thing I would change is the title of the two parter. Instead of “The Ending of the End,” it should have been “The End of the Beginning.”
Yes, and I’m one of them.
It’s kind of one of the oldest ones still in use today. (Of course, many would object heavily to the “fiction” part.)
Edited
Well, I mean, it barely qualifies as moralistic, but I feel it does based mostly on the New Testament (well, uh, setting aside the hallucinogenic fever dream that is the Book of Revelations).
The Old Testament has some really fucked up stuff, gotta say. A personal favorite of mine was always the one where a guy discovers one of his ladyfriends has been murdered, and so he cuts her body up into little meat cubes (or that’s what I always imagined) and sends them across the land to get justice or some shit like that.
The Bible a work of moralistic fiction? :D That’s a laugh.
Says who? I never once heard Lauren Faust or anyone else on the show staff state that they set out to break cliches with this show. You might as well be saying that The Powerpuff Girls was made to break cliches.

Yeah, that’s vwwn true since season two’s “Dragon Quest.” Ge even says at the end of the episode to Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash, “You’re nore than just friends. You’re my family.” And as “Sparkle’s Seven” showed us, this extends to Twilight’s family as well, as shining Armor refers to Spike as his little brother as he gives him a hug.
@Sanagi 蛹
How sad and pathetic is it that you can’t even make an allegory to the Bible anymore witbout it sparking some stupid, idiotic debate. Now that’s just depressing.
@HyaenusDominae
Agreed! :)
Glad we agree.
Fair enough. Although your avatar is much funnier.
Yeah, I’m not sure what two dragons who stopped mattering before Spike was born, who never influenced his life beyond the existence of his egg can do for him.
Twilight Velvet and Night Light, followed by big sister Twilight Sparkle raised him far as I’m concerned, and as of the end of the series, he’s a high-ranking member of a country’s government, being Twilight’s Royal Advisor and Ambassador.
What could his biological parents possibly offer, with that in mind, when they were never there, assuming they’re even alive?
Some people in the real world do not care about who their biological parents are, and I’d imagine that became the case for Spike.
TL;DR: Spike’s biological parents are utterly irrelevant to the character he’s been throughout S1-S9, period (hell, they didn’t even name him, did they). Being adopted without knowing who your biological parents are or were doesn’t preclude you from a happy life, and I’d say Spike has been happy overall.
Edited
Eh. I’m not worried about that.
Spike doesn’t care who his real parents are anymore. As far as he’s concerned, Twilight’s family is his family, and Equestria is his home.
Its not that I dislike your saying. Its just it will incite a long debate, that’s all.
I get it. You don’t like what I’m saying, but that’s no reason for me not to say it.
Hoooo boy.
See, you didn’t actually debunk my theory just now. All you did was make a hyperbolic statement and offer no evidence to support it.

There are those who say the message of the Bible is universal and everyone deserves to hear it.
