She won’t “outlive her friends” because we’d never see a story arc that goes on long enough to have her friends pass away, in fact we’d probably never see that happen to anypony. Besides saying she won’t outlive her friends implies she will die before them…that’s not any better really. As far as we know, somewhere in some future episode she will cease to be an alicorn (hopefully with some descent reason behind it) in which case she may have been immortal but that was taken away and now she’s the same as her friends again. That would keep the writers words true, cancel out the saddening truth of immortality and be less contradictory with however Celestia and Luna…work in terms of lifespan.
It was one of the writers, not a fan, who said she won’t “outlive her friends”, meaning that Twilight isn’t quite the same thing as Celestia and Luna.
Of course, the only reason they said that is because it’s embarrassing to say the lead character of a kid’s show is going to watch her friends grow old and die.
In short, they aren’t keeping any of the mythology straight.
Is it canon that Luna and Celestia are immortal and Cadance and Twilight are not? As far as we know Luna and Celestia came to be alicorns in the same way, as in alicorns are not born but some magical force decides they’re worthy of being an alicorn. We have no reaso to believe Celestia made Twi an alicorn, she may have just known it was going to happen. The thing that transformed Twi didn’t seem to involve Celestia at all but rather came from Twilight, as if it were her “destiny”…which Celestia said. She said it was her destiny not that she chose for it to happen.
Anyway I agree, the whole “she’s not a real alicorn” stuff is all crap and speculation made up by people who just don’t want her to be an alicorn.
I don’t know enough about boe apparently, more reason that Data would have been the better analogy.
Boe was a fixed point in time, that doesn’t ever wash off.
Spent too much energy on saving those people, was not able to “revive” because of that?
I should’ve used Data from Star Trek as an example as it’s far less abstract and difficult to imagine.
That’s why I said I wanted to learn how he stopped being immortal.
I haven’t seen all the episodes but I distinctly remember him dying. Dying at all, aside from maybe due to the universe ceasing to exist or heat death of the universe (in which case you’d eventually cease to be able to do anything due to maximum entropy) is still death and thus not immortal. The definition of immortal is never dying or decaying so even maximum entropy would be death. Point is if someone does not age, in a suitable environment they will never die, however in practice something is exceedingly likely to die from some accident at some time or another. The FOB is not immortal as he CAN die just as I assume the princesses CAN die. Just because they haven’t in a long time doesn’t mean they’re immortal.
Dude lived to be older than the rest of the universe, how is that not immortal?
Well it’s apparent that the FOB isn’t immortal, just damn near it. Celestial and Luna aren’t exactly normal ponies either. They are alicorns, far more powerful then any average unicorn and at the very least have longer life spans.
Besides we don’t know if Twi and Cadance are immortal or not, it’s all purely speculation.
The difference is that the Doctor isn’t by any stretch of imagination ‘normal’, and that the only remarkable things about FOB are his immortality and his legendary promiscuity.
Being very strong doesn’t necessarily mean immortal. Besides, in the episode “hide”, didn’t the doctor and a creature hang on to the outside of the tardis?
He once clung to the side of the Tardis during one of it’s warps through time. A normal person would have been burned just looking at the inside of the time-tunnel thingy.
The joke still maintains all its merit, but over analyzing as well is fun.
I am by no means a database on doctor who (I’ve yet to watch many episodes), I assume though that if he can revive it’s not from death but just from damage or sickness? (So not immortal but damn close)

roffle
I really wanna know how the Face of Boe stopped reviving.
I think Celestia and Luna show negligible or non-existent senescence and thus will not die from old age, but a powerful enough attack or a bad slip in the shower on their neck and bye bye. (Similar to the Doctor or the face of boe)
Cheer up!
