LyraHeartstrings 482 November 6, 2011 Share November 6, 2011 Those are Bon bon's parents and she is at home making sweets! And granny smith? I think once you reach a certain age, you're so old that you just stop getting older, and stay like that until (sorry finest hour) you die... Why are you dragging your cursor over my signature? Is there a problem here? Do you maybe expect something special? Honestly, that's kind of creepy. Are you trying to get as much information about me as possible? Maybe you're going to copy and paste this into onto your little collage or all things Lyra? (me, not the awesome BG pony...) You seriously have issues dude... I pity you.

Lupus 127 November 7, 2011 Share November 7, 2011 Obviously they can die or all the near-death escapes wouldn't mean anything. Regarding Granny Smith, clearly in The Cutie Mark Chronicles she is a lot more spry than now, as young Applejack muses that she and Big Mac would be applebucking their way through the red delicious, which you can't imagine the Granny Smith of today being able to do They probably just don't age much noticeable from young adult to late middle age, until old age sets in.

Lupus 127 November 7, 2011 Share November 7, 2011 80 would work, looking at the generational gaps, assuming the cutie mark comes around 12 or so, and the Mane Six are 20-24 ish. There are then the older grown up ponies, then the old as in Granny Smith. I reckon here's not much physical change from being a young adult to being in late middle age, and only in real old age do they begin to get decrepit. Is it the same for all makes of pony? Obviously its not for the alicorns, but maybe the unicorns live longer than earth ponies too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Wobbels 664 January 23, 2012 Share January 23, 2012 (edited) Luna and Celestia must've had parents once in their lifespans, otherwise how would they be where they are now? Unless they were "born" by some other means, but they must still have had somepony to take care of them whne they were young. As for regular ponies, since Granny Smith was rather old when AJ was still a young filly, they must have a lifespan slightly longer than the one of humans. Is this some kind of Celestian religion stuff? I don't believe in anything like that. lol Edited January 23, 2012 by AKAMrWobbels THIS SIGNATURE IS POTATOES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eenohay 318 January 23, 2012 Share January 23, 2012 Of course they are mortal, but cartoons are known to have an incredible resistance to everything, from falling kilometers, to having anvils and pianos dropped in their heads, to surving having a bomb explode in their faces, or being completely burnt. I still don't get how the hell will Rainbow Dash manage to get injured in the episode when she starts reading. But yeah, they must die of old age, otherwise the ancient ponies we have seen in some episodes would still be around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordica 180 January 23, 2012 Share January 23, 2012 (edited) Everypony can't be immortals. How would the world have enough space if the population kept growing, but no one died? The moon would eventually get crowded too... Anyway, it's a show targeted for little kids. The ponies may not live forever, but of course they won't let them age as long as the show runs.

ScottishUnicorn 284 January 23, 2012 Share January 23, 2012 Granny Smith is like a bazillion years old, so I'd say pretty old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shankveld 4,949 January 23, 2012 Share January 23, 2012 Ponies clearly die Where are granny smith's parents? etc etc ~ as to how old they live and such, I'm not sure the average pony lives 25-30 years, so you be the judge ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Cassie 3,057 January 23, 2012 Share January 23, 2012 Far too much of the series is set up to rely on long-lived ponies for their lifespans to be shorter than human lifespans, so they live at least human-length lifespans. I've heard arguments in favor of super long lived ponies, such as Granny Smith being 300 years old or more, but while I suppose I could see that working, I'm not about to assume it without more evidence. So yes, human length-lifespans are what I assume until we get some definite proof otherwise. Used to be known on here as Kyronea. Want to read psychological analyses of the Mane Six? Start here.

Wonka 39 January 23, 2012 Share January 23, 2012 I would have to say that the ponies live as long as humans do, if not longer. For the alicorns...

DJ MUFF1N D3RP 322 January 28, 2012 Share January 28, 2012 (edited) I don't know for sure, but if Granny Smith is anything to go by, she was about the same age as the Mane 6 are now when she helped her family start what would become Ponyville. That was at least 100 years before the start of the series, so we know that it is at least somewhere in the hundreds for earth ponies.

Luurilka 325 January 29, 2012 Share January 29, 2012 Well, considering that the show said that Ponyville is hundreds of years old, and Grannysmith was a filly when Ponyville was founded, Grannysmith is over 200 years old. So, if Granny smith is the equivalent of a hundred year old person in terms of physical condition, and Grannysmith is 200 years old, then ponies live twice as long as people. As for people saying that Celestia and Luna are immortal, I don't see any basis for that. Sure they must have be able to live for thousands of years, but forever? Forever is an awful long time.
