Sparky is older than the new mane 6 LOL

Oh, the irony is hilarious

Nothing particularly unusual about this. VAs rarely match the exact age of their characters; the CMCs VAs were older than their characters by the end of FiM, Tara Strong was in her 30s and 40s when voicing Twilight Sparkle (a character suggested to be in her early 20s and her human counterpart is a teen), and Spike was voiced by Kathy Weseluck in G4-who was much older than the dragon would logically be.

Well yeah. He's supposed to be old here, right up there with Celestia and Luna.
You know, now that I think about it, it's kinda weird that the fandom has made such a big deal out of alicorns being immortal yet ignored the fact that dragons might be in the same boat.

Smarter than your average bear.
Older than your average brony.

(He is probably smarter than your average bear as well.)

True but Sparky is more shocking to me because you rarely see male voice actors playing child roles, let alone baby roles. It’s pretty impressive, and I wonder why they cast him over a female voice actor. Maybe they have future plans to show Sparky when he’s older

Sparky may have a long lifespan, but he is canonically pretty young…we see him hatch in Make Your Mark and I doubt more than a year or two has passed since then

I totally did not just confuse Spike and Sparky right there. Nothing of that sort ever happened. I did not stop reading mid-word before writing my reply. No I didn't... I don't have a problem... I CAN QUITE ANY TIME I WANT! NO!

I don't think the fandom's "ignored" it whatsoever: "Spike outlives everypony" was a very, very common sadfic premise both before and after Twilicorn, and I've even seen it be done with Smolder twice or thrice. If anything, I'm actually a little surprised Sparky hasn't been written through it yet, at least as far as I'm aware.

Fair point. To quote Peter Griffin, "My head would explode if I even began to know what I was talking about."
