Another thing is you can't really define age or lifespans on an animated series, unless the series defines it. People argue about the lifespan of different species. That goes out the window in animation. Some characters may have a longer or shorter lifespan in the MLP universe. It's also quite possible Spike may end up with a shorter lifespan than what folks are saying, since he's being raised much differently compared to other dragons, and his appearance may seriously be altered as an adult (compared to what we saw in "Secret of My Excess"). Other than that, does it really matter? We'll likely never really know how long these characters are going to live.
