Pretty much this. She just sidestepped the question. You learn to do that when you’re dealing with people who flip their shit over everything. Also when discussing the matter of death in a TV-Y rated show.

If that was your problem with Twilicorn then you must also be against Celestia, Luna and Spike. Also Meaghan McCarthy did not shoot it down. She said Twilight wouldn’t outlive her friends. That can be interpreted a number of ways and isn’t canon regardless of how you interpret it.
Post Apocalyptical princess? That’s…actually kind of badass.
^Also I support the crab apocalypse.
Did you know that in Wells’ “The Time Machine” giant monster crabs are actually the last surviving species on Earth?
‘Far away up the desolate slope I heard a harsh scream, and saw a thing like a huge white butterfly go slanting and flittering up into the sky and, circling, disappear over some low hillocks beyond. The sound of its voice was so dismal that I shivered and seated myself more firmly upon the machine. Looking round me again, I saw that, quite near, what I had taken to be a reddish mass of rock was moving slowly towards me. Then I saw the thing was really a monstrous crab-like creature. Can you imagine a crab as large as yonder table, with its many legs moving slowly and uncertainly, its big claws swaying, its long antennæ, like carters’ whips, waving and feeling, and its stalked eyes gleaming at you on either side of its metallic front? Its back was corrugated and ornamented with ungainly bosses, and a greenish incrustation blotched it here and there. I could see the many palps of its complicated mouth flickering and feeling as it moved.’
‘As I stared at this sinister apparition crawling towards me, I felt a tickling on my cheek as though a fly had lighted there. I tried to brush it away with my hand, but in a moment it returned, and almost immediately came another by my ear. I struck at this, and caught something threadlike. It was drawn swiftly out of my hand. With a frightful qualm, I turned, and I saw that I had grasped the antenna of another monster crab that stood just behind me. Its evil eyes were wriggling on their stalks, its mouth was all alive with appetite, and its vast ungainly claws, smeared with an algal slime, were descending upon me. In a moment my hand was on the lever, and I had placed a month between myself and these monsters. But I was still on the same beach, and I saw them distinctly now as soon as I stopped. Dozens of them seemed to be crawling here and there, in the sombre light, among the foliated sheets of intense green.”

All she said was that Twilight wouldn’t outlive her friends. She never said Twilight wasn’t immortal.
Of course occam’s razor would suggest she’s mortal, but the alternative - that the element bearers will all live forever - is also a possibility. And it’s one I quite like.
I’d like to yet again reiterate that this was why I was so apprehensive towards Twilicorn.
I say “was” because Meghan McCarthy shot this idea down.
We need to show this to everyone who still draws art that doesn’t play this for laughs. Maybe then they’ll realize how wrong they are.
