Though I normally agree with people when they say MLP characters should resolve their conflict without violence, the reason why I think the battle of the season 4 finale of Friendship is Magic worked is because diplomacy does not work on every villain, an important lesson that episode showed well. It's not comparable to the screaming and muscles thing used in Dragonball Z at all. At least MLP duels don't last several episodes and involve excessive power ups. It spices things up a bit compared to the constant reliance on elements of harmony in MLP, which does get boring very quick, and I'd argue is worse than using lasers. Though Tirek was invulnerable to Twilight's alicorn ray, Twilight Sparkle may as well had tried to wear him down because at the beginning of the fight bargaining with him was not going to happen, she lasted just long enough to force him into a moment of cowardice, which did help.
