I saw an MLP fan claim magic should be reserved for the military in MLP fiction. But I disagree with that, for a variety of reasons, I will get into that in more detail in Twilight Soapbox section of the forum as it does involve politics. But it is foolish to assume that would guarantee safety of civilians, what if their military depletes their resources? you're going to leave a population unguarded with nothing to defend themselves with?

Before anyone asks, yes, I don't believe humans are as intelligent as we claim to be. If you paid attention to the state of our world and how corrupt it is, you'd realize high intelligence and empathy is not all that common.

in My Little Pony Friendship is Magic I tolerate Princess Celestia's philosophy on redemption because there's a hint of wisdom in her belief, in not promoting a culture of violence you at least give the message that it should not be your first option when you dislike somebody, diplomacy has a proven positive affect on society, which can keep crime rate down. But Goku's reasoning for sparing villains in Dragonball are cringe, he lets them live so he can have a punching bag later on. And by letting Frieza live, he proved how useless he is.

In DCAU Superman was willing to kill to end a threat, as he tried to do to Darkseid, twice. There are limits to his patience when it comes to threats and he wasn't having any of it. You don't let a villain live just so you can have a sparring partner, which to me, is a much worse reason for letting a villain like that live than attempting to rehabilitate them, it's selfish.

I agree with people who say Dragonball is overrated. It's a story of inept heroes who let Frieza live despite Frieza showing no intention on reform or redemption. Part of the reason why I don't find it as interesting as some other shows anymore. It has nothing to do with me not liking shows with fight scenes. However I prefer shows like Justice League DCAU when it comes to things like that, since for one, heroes are more competent. Even My Little Pony Friendship is Magic to me is more interesting than Dragonball.
