Turning to a different sort of question, here's something that's popped up but not yet here, I think...

Does anyone think Twilight was actually killed by the Elements of Harmony?

Certainly within the canon, I doubt they would ever go in that direction, and what exactly happened is unlikely to ever be explained in the first place. I don't even really believe the EOH even work in that way....however, given the mythological allusions the show often makes, you can argue that, in a symbolic way, that's exactly what happened....Twilight was killed, or at died as what she was (a unicorn) and was reborn again as an Alicorn...a new life, both figuratively and literally.

The realm she goes too certainly can be perceived as a kind of afterlife what-have-you, especially in somehow seeing every aspect of Twilight's life (especially even her nightmare fantasies of repeating Magic Kindergarden...I doubt the animators put much thought into it, but it says a lot about this power if Celestia can even see that)...

it's hard to say if any of this is all part of Celestia's power, or simply the power of this realm and she's a visitor...but in any case, does anybody else believe the second-half of this episode can be a symbolic 'reincarnation'?
