[My Little Pony] Twilight Sparkle died at the end of season 3
Twilight Sparkle is every right-thinking person's favourite pony princess. She is clever and brave and is best at friendship and friendship-knowledge. Her ascension at the end of season 3 was a highlight for many a fan, but was this event all it seems? It is in fact more likely that instead of becoming a princess, Twilight Sparkle died.
This may sound shocking, but the evidence is plain for all to see. For a start, Twilight Sparkle clearly dies on screen. In attempting to fix the Cutie Mark conundrum, she vapourises herself entirely, leaving only ashes behind. The imagery we see is afterlife imagery - Twilight can be seen ascending to heaven towards a bright light, and then meeting God (Celestia) in a white, heavenly realm to the sound of an angel's choir. Celestia then tells Twilight it is time for her to have her reward, a common metaphor for the afterlife.
Tellingly, at this point Twilight gains wings. Some have believed this to be part of a process in which she is made an 'alicorn', but Celestia has not shown great skill in genetic manipulation before and Twilight's previous deeds were surely more worthy of deification. No, more likely is that these are angel wings given to Twilight now she is deceased in a terrible magical accident.
Like an angel, Twilight can now fly and sit on clouds, as well as having increased magical power. It is unknown if she has also gained the ability to play the harp, though this is likely.
Does Twilight then return to Equestria? The evidence says no. Her friends are left behind to mourn her whilst Twilight begins to engage with her 'heavenly reward'. It is possible that Twilight does not realise that she is dead, having misunderstood Celestia's kind words. Perhaps Celestia should have been more brusque with her favourite pupil, but admonishing Twilight for carelessly atomising herself may have caused more upset to the little pony.
The idea that season 4 is set in some sort of afterlife for Twilight explains much. As an angel, Twilight is no longer able to harness the Elements of Harmony and so she explains this away in a fever-dream about magic trees. There are no more friendship reports, as Twilight's friends are too busy mourning her to learn new lessons about friendship. Tellingly, when Pinkie Pie's sister comes to visit, she looks nothing like the sisters we know exist. Twilight knows Pinkie Pie has a sister but not what she looks like, causing her to create her mental image of Pinkie's sister in the afterlife.
Is the fantastical battle with Tirek and subsequent growing of a magic tree-castle a sign that Twilight is able to reshape her world with more ease, or could it have been a result of the devil himself invading heaven and trying to attack one of Celestia's angels?
Whatever the case, it is clear that Twilight's 'ascension' was a one-way affair. Presumably the people of Ponyville will be much more careful with magic spells in the future, lest they end up like poor Twilight. And will Twilight ever find out her fate, or will she forever live in her carefully-imagined utopia?

Pretty similar to a theory I made a video about a while back, but I hadn't thought about everything after season three being all in Twilight's mind. Nice!
ReplyDeleteWell... I like your theory better because it doesn't make a big stratch that she never returned to Equestria.
DeleteSo sad but twilight sparkle is a angel now c: we still love her :>
Deletethat cant be true because other ponies would be there
Deleteplus she cant dream because dead people cant sleep
You saw that she returned to Equestria. She just had got wings. You saw her interacting with the other ponies, she wasn't dead, as in Season 9 she harnessed the Elements of Harmony against king sombra.
DeleteI liked her she was awesome we'll miss her but she's up there with princess Celestia and princess Luna and princess Cadence and all of them and mabye hanging out with other creatures too we'll miss her but she's there always.🦄
DeleteWE LOVE YOU TWILIGHT SPARKLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌
DeleteThat is so so so so so so bad. Because I like her as princess TWILIGHT SPARKLE. When she got her wings her friends wer impress by her wings.
DeleteLove Gracel
This is seriously ridiculous 😂😂 this is a joke right 😂😂 because twilight dose not die and in season 3 she just gets pulled in a dream world and grows wings and become an alicorn this proves that you have not watch season 4'5'6'7'8'9
DeleteSamriddhi gupta 🍪
Twilight Sparkle didn't die this is all just fake I know it because I watched it
Deleteyeah, why do ppl agree on this stuff? she becomes a totally colour-scheme difference form thing of PRINCESS CELESTIA at THE END OF THE WHOLE SHOW. or is it still alive? :O
Deletei agree with you
Deletei like twilight sparkel!!! :)
DeleteOh I think Twighlight will come back 😣😣😣
Deleteomg twilgjt NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
DeleteI .... man
Deletefug why i watched it she did not die! ;p
Deletethat is fake she apeears in 4 to 9
Deleterip twilght sparkle 2013
Deletegot ya she did not die you why ponies never die
Deleteyour so dum and so is this post
DeleteAre you really gonna believe everything on the internet you don't even know if this is true you could be falling into people's lies because this doesn't add up if you really try to think hard about it
DeleteI like the idea of Twilght being an angel but... there are episode after season 3 which don't focus on Twilight so if she didn't return to Equestria, how do explain the non-Twilight centered episode that followed the season 3 finale. I prefer RLYoshi's "Angel Twilight" theory. Also, angels CAN return to Earth and don't just STAY in heaven without being able to return. It is clearly seen in "All Dogs Go to Heaven". Also, Candence wasn't originally a alicorn either and SHE was alive before Twilight was "killed". Also, you call a FLASHBACK about the Tree of Harmony a FEVER DREAM? They are two difference thing! Sorry but... RLYoshi is better because it features the "angel ascending to Earth from heaven" concept.
ReplyDeleteThat and she was tired in "Princess Spike" and since when does "Inception" logic reply to dying dream. Theory BUSTED.
Deletenooooooo.twilight never died.
DeleteYes. Its true. Twilight never died.
Deletetwilight is still alive
DeleteI agree.
DeleteIt is I, Future Man to tell you your theory is wrong. sorry. Season 4-9 and comic season 10 shows you are wrong. The fact there are episode that are not centered around her, her whole dream afterlife is wrong. Now she could have died and return in Jesus kind of way. She died for pony kinds sin's and return as the savior. Christ Imagery is every where.
DeleteThis is seriously ridiculous 😂😂 this is a joke right 😂😂 because twilight dose not die and in season 3 she just gets pulled in a dream world and grows wings and become an alicorn this proves that you have not watch season 4'5'6'7'8'9
DeleteSamriddhi gupta 🍪
I am a angel and i did go to earth rhigt know and i am still here and i never whent back to heaven sooooooo hum... i am know confused a lot again .
Deletei agree
Deleteme an angel to
DeleteJust to be honest, I don’t hate the whole “Twilight’s now an angel” theory just… the possibility that she never returned to Equestria. Okay, let’s debunk this theory bit by bit. Let’s start with the first bit:
ReplyDelete“As an angel, Twilight is no longer able to harness the Elements of Harmony and so she explains this away in a fever-dream about magic trees.”
Okay, the Tree of Harmony was first seen in a flashback and how does that work? I mean, MatPat pointed out that it’s impossible to explain the cut-scene Mini-Games – the supposed “flashbacks” – using the FNAF Dream Theory and the flashbacks that Twilight saw when she drunk Zecora’s potion is just the same. And are you sure that she isn’t able to harness the Elements of Harmony. Let me bring up Equestria Girls! You see, it is comfirmed the EG is canon and guess what happens in that movie. The human version of the Mane 6 – despite not being the same characters as their pony counterparts – are somehow able to wield to power of the Elements of Harmony including Twilight. This happened when the magic of Twilight’s tiara hits them and it was able to unite with “the ones who help created it” – also known as the other Elements of Harmony. Next up is there explanation for Maud Pie:
“Tellingly, when Pinkie Pie's sister comes to visit, she looks nothing like the sisters we know exist. Twilight knows Pinkie Pie has a sister but not what she looks like, causing her to create her mental image of Pinkie's sister in the afterlife.”
Really, that’s you explanation? How do you explain “Heartbreakers” which doesn’t feature Twilight but does feature Maud? Way a go, theorist! So therefore you have: Twilight maybe an angel but she still returned to Equestria!
You are right this is the worst explainion you really think that is the theory because it is not twilight is alive you fool ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha 😂😂 you really are a fool
DeleteSamriddhi gupta 🍪
okay i still do unt know wick won
Delete0_0 '-' 0''0 0-0
DeleteWell damn surprising! So shining and cadence never married, flurry was never born, cheese sandwich never existed, maud is like a hologram, Tirek=Devil Celestia=God, Equestria Girls Never happened, The mane six became the mane 5, my oc will never get into the show(lol wtf did I say that?), Windy Whistles existed but never to twily, Starlight never even existed, I have so many questions. Season 4-8 Does not Compute at fucking all. I’m at a loss.
ReplyDeleteAre you actually kidding me? Its so clear by now in 2019 that this theory is absolute rubbish. Twilight did NOT die. She is NOT an angel. Everything she 'imagined' is actually REAL. If you are wondering how Celestia would have turned Twilight into an alicorn,I suggest you check out the Brony Notion's video.

brony notion is cool but he almost never makes vids
DeleteAgreed but he changed his channel name from the brony notion to sawtooth waves.
Deleteyeah
DeleteHow are you feeling today babe ❣️😗😘
Deletestupid theory
DeleteAmazing post
ReplyDeleteReally, it is NOT a good post. This theory makes absolute zero sense.
DeleteYes
Delete🤔
DeleteI agree.
DeleteI think its not real
Deletei agree i searched it on you tube on the time you are rhigt
Deletetwilight did not die.she was made an alicorn.just like Princess Mi Amore Cadenza.your theory of how "twlight dies" is plain old rubbish
DeleteLove your post, Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI just played this game and it's amazing.

... unlocicl thery, as we all know churberis the three headed dog locked tet mane 6 in tartoris or hell so after going into the hefen then going into hell makes her normal. At least I think lol bucherbut that comment
ReplyDelete🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ horrible spelling on my part, ouch
ReplyDeleteWell, The Brony Notion covered how Celestia made Twilight a Alicorn. And there is also evidence on Game Theory with the Five Nights At Freddy's cutscenes
ReplyDeleteI love how everyone is arguing over a made up kid's show lol..........blol..........but then again i argue over pokemon so 😂
ReplyDeletebe nice
DeleteYeah
Delete-blol XD
ReplyDeletebe nicer
Deleteyeah be nicer!mlp fim is loved around the world
DeleteSorry but in my oppinion is that twilight is still a live because she just accidentally did a wrong spell. That's really normal for a unicorn an an alicorn to make a wrong spells. She became and alicorn by compliting Starswerl's spell(did I spell it right?) and her friends cutie marks are back yo normal.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry it's back to normal not back yo normal
ReplyDeletei loved she was my fav pony im her biggest fan😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
ReplyDeleteTwilight never died. Her friends didnt mourn, and she certanly didnt become an angel. Unlike Brony Notion's Theorys, this theory dosent have enough info to back it up, and we already know what happened. Twilight simply became an alicorn, and thats canon, there is no changing that. I would understand if this was a theor about the process of becoming an alicorn, but no. Trying to explain something that already has a Canon answer dosent count as a theory. Im not hati'n, im just stati'n.
ReplyDeleteTwilight never dies the post is wrong after sh dies the spell she fixes her friends cutie marks and earns her wings .
ReplyDeleteThis is how you spell she S.h.e
ReplyDeletethat is rhigt great i spelled that word rong
DeleteYa Twilight is not dead. she from now on is ruler of equestria!!
ReplyDeleteWhy is this evidence on twilight being dead a thing that is just not TRUE!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTwilight is a 1 fav alicorn and there is no way that she is dead. This evidence just wants to make you sad ! >:(
ReplyDeletei agree i belive in my hart to i agree with you but [ If it relly happened sad] A\D : means angel \ devil
DeleteH
ReplyDeleteGuys this is NOT TRUE. She completes the spell and her reward is her alicirn wings. She RETURNS to equestria and with her friends. She literally can control the elements. DO NOT believe this post.
ReplyDeleteOh
DeleteGuys this is so fake. She accomplished the spell and her reward was her wings which you only get for accomplishing princess worthy deeds. Then she RETURNS to equestria with her friends and she DOES harness the elements. This is so fake
ReplyDeletetotally and even if twi was dead and was an angel then there would have been no season 4,5,6,7,8 or nine because the elements would'nt have worked because every fan of the show knows that you need twi's element of magic to make the rainbow lazer that hammers down on villans cc's words not mine!also she could not be able to wear her crown it would just go through her body
ReplyDeletei think twilight cold of died but celesta sent her owt of hevin just with a pair of wings.
ReplyDeleteI AM BIGGEST FAN!TWILIGHT IS MY FAV PONY!
ReplyDeleteHAVE U WATCHED THE SESIN NINE FANALY? TWILIGHT BECOMES RULER OF ECWESTREA!THAT PROVES THAT THIS ARTACL IS WRONG!

UWU
ReplyDeletei don't belive this
ReplyDeleteIs twilight sparkle alive or dead
ReplyDeleteIs twilight sparkle alive or dead
ReplyDeletealive duh
ReplyDeleteshe is the main charater (i know i didnt spell that right)they cant do seasons 4,5,6,7,8,or 9 if she died
ReplyDeleteLol this is absurd.
ReplyDeleteI have a much better theory than your lie.
The spell doesn't go wrong, it does exactly what it is supposed to. It activates the magic between the mane 6, which allows Twilight to travel to some magical world. This magic also connects to Celestial, and brings her there too. You may be wondering, why didn't the other Mane 6 travel as well? Because the spell activates when written, and the effects are on the one who writes it. Also, Twilight's cutie mark is literally magic. And of course, when the spell's effects wear off, the writer is awarded with alicorn traits and returned to equestria.
THERE. HOWS THAT? And before anyone asks, I wrote this on the spot, and did not get this theory from any other sources.
Aww
ReplyDeleteAww ilove you ���������������������� imiss��youtwilight
ReplyDeleteMy ex i miss you myex i love you my ex
DeleteTHIS IS THE STUPIDEST THEORY!
ReplyDeleteshe just, like went into this state, like a transformation. the heaven part was like a dream. BUT SHE DID NOT DIE.
ReplyDeleteTwilight isn’t dead : at the last episode, she is a full grown princess, also, she has her own student, and how would she intereact with her student if she were dead.
ReplyDeletetwilight is surely not dead.
ReplyDeleteThe fact is hidden in season 4
she just transformed into a princess like how celestia was once a regular unicorn she just
transformed into a princess
if she were dead then how did she transform again into a princess like celestia herself?
celestia was not even there!
sorry not four 7
DeleteIf she were dead she would not be able to harness the power of friendship or element's
ReplyDeleteor starswirl's
if she was dead ,Princess Cadence could not have done the sunshine sunshine ladybugs awake dance to convince twilight that she was real she was captured under the castle plus when Thorax was still a black changeling when they were searching for him at the castle she convined starlight to not attack Thorax after Spike explains everything
ReplyDeleteshe also has her own student being starlight glimmer
ReplyDeletenow for equestria girls:
ReplyDeletestarlight goes to canterlock high with sunset shimmer then we se them talking small talk
1 If she was an angle she would not be able to feel being sqishy within her friend's
shes not dead what are you guys talking about
