Why didn't Tirek just kill the three princesses?

Your argument is invalid.

King Sombra is a villain! Whereas the alicorn princesses are protagonists. Edited by Blobulle

Because if he did, Hasbro, the lawyers and the FCC would have thrown a huge hissy fit, because as i'm sure we're all aware by now, they aren't even allowed to acknowledge the fates of Ma and Pa Apple.

Well, considering that it is a children's show, it is kinda an odd thing to give thought about. I'm not bashing your ideal plot twist here, but I see that being very unlikely to happen at all. I mean, killing off three essential characters is kinda far fetched if you ask me. At the same time too. Imagine the tidal wave of uproar that would've happened if that was actually allowed in this kind of show. Angry parents, angry fans...the possibilities are endless. Conspiracy? Of course we'd have a lot of those.

1. Kid's show.

 

2. Defeating, subjugating, imprisoning, humiliating, and then parading out the former rulers of the land you just conquered for all of its inhabitants to see your might, thus demoralizing them from even attempting a rebellion, is way, WAY more satisfying.

Besides it being a kid's show, the show just wouldn't work if three princesses died. Twilight would have to be responsible for the sun, moon, and Crystal Empire as well as her new role as Princess of Friendship! Shining Armor could maybe handle the Crystal Empire by himself if he wasn't crying over Cadence's death.

 

All of the little girls would be devastated at losing 3/4 of their favorite princesses.

 

I bet Tirek just wanted them to suffer instead of being kind by killing them.

If the kids weren't looking, he probably would. The thought of a villain harming our little ponies makes me want to go Essence of the Nightbringer on said enemy.

Tirek only wanted the princesses to feel what he felt when he was imprisoned.  Yes, he did kill off characters in the 80s, but if he did the unthinkable in this day and age, the Luna fans as well as the Cadence and Celestia fans would mutiny against Hasbro for pulling off a stunt like this. 

 

FYI, I am a BIG fan of all four princesses with Twilight being my all time favorite of course, and let me tell you, I was boiling with anger when Celestia, Luna and Cadence got sent to Tartarus.  Made me want to go through the screen and give Tirek a piece of my mind.  Sadly, if I did, I would have ended up in Tartarus with them as well.

 

Just remember, that the only real casualty of Tirek's rampage is the Golden Oak Library as well as the emotions of a lot of ponies he had attacked.

I just thought of something, what if ''Equestia'' is only a country or continent of the Pony world, meaning that there could be other continents, and one of them could be ''PonyLand'' and Tirek could have came from there.

I agree, I also wouldn't be too happy if he killed of Discord, or any of the '' Mane 6'' or ''Mane Background Ponies'' after he drained them.

So why wouldn't he have gone back to ponyland? The ponies there would have been much easier to conquer, especially as Megan is no longer there to protect them with her Rainbow locket? No, I think Equestria is Ponyland, only far in the future, and Megan and her two siblings gave the ponies what they needed to become a great kingdom!

Maybe Tirek sensed a stronger source of magic in Equestria, than he did in Ponyland, and whos to say they would be powerless, the ponies in G1 found a way to defeat him once, they could do it again, with or without the Rainbow of Light.

I think he wanted them to suffer the same fate he had to for all those years- If you're locked up for so long (At least 1000 years), I can only imagine that's a fate worse than death.

The ponies didn't defeat him, Megan did. G1 ponies were almost like babies. In fact as I've mentioned, before Megan arrived there was a queen of the ponies called Majesty, but she was killed by Tirek. ( this is semiofficial, one of the writers confirmed it in the late 80's)

Tirek didn't come from Ponyland. We all know he was actually chillin' in Tambelon with Grogar the Good having a cup of Smooze tea and just decided to pay Equestria a visit with his brother Scorpan the Sinister, when two wicked Pony Princesses locked him up when his evil brother betrayed him.

 

It's all true, Tirek told me himself.

He probably saw a better revenge in imprisoning them and having them bend to his every will, instead of just killing off all his ponies he was going to rule over.

This.  It was more about exacting the ideal revenge.  Besides, if you think nopony can stop you, why not have fun with your revenge?

Gimme some time to come up with something new, okay?  MUCH LOVES!!!

Princess Celestia, has shown that she possess a mirror that allows ponies to enter the human world, whos to say the ponies in Ponyland don't possess something similar. I am certain that they could re-enter the human world and find a older Megan or maybe children of hers that may possess a new power for them to defeat him. Remember, when Tirek broke out of Tartarus, and started drain ponies magic, Equestrias greatest defense was lost to them and they managed to find another more powerful defense, against him, even when it had seemed that he had won.

Megan must be pretty awesome if she can live for thousands of years and her children are still alive.

But that world was not a true human world. The 'humans' of Equestria girls are little more than anthro versions of the ponies. To go to the true human world, the ponies would have to reopen the Rainbow bridge. And the only pony who did open the

bridge, Firefly, is probably long dead.

I may have over looked that detail, but what about descendants of hers, or maybe even she could have taught them how to fend for themselves during the time she spent with them and now they could deal with any villain that arises with or without Megan.

In reality, Megan and her decendants were all wiped out when Tambelon returned and came to the Human world instead, and Grogar enslaved all the Humans because he wanted more hands to serve him.

She lives off the power of badass. Alternatively, time flows Narnia style

 

OT: Alicorns are either immortal or very long lived but regardless, they will suffer in there. The fact that they need to eat means that he could come back in a week or so and laugh as they try to kill each other for food

Firefly can't be the only pony ever to have opened that gate, for the gate to even exist means that some force had to create it, meaning some pony or creature had made it into the human world long before Firefly did. And who to say the bridge doesn't function the same way the elements did in that it will just find a new pony capable of opening it.

Ah, but time could run differently in the two universes. I keep bringing up that fanfic, but the author basically states that when G1 Twilight becomes Nightmare, she closes the rainbow bridge and speeds up time in the pony universe.
