My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic - Season 9
One of Tirek's main goals in Season 4 was to steal Alicorn magic to become powerful enough to conquer Equestria. When he arrived in Canterlot, he learns that the Princesses have given away their magic to Twilight Sparkle for safe-keeping. Tirek thinks this is a dumb idea for the Princesses part as he is going to force the ponies to bow to his will and there is nothing they can do about it. The Centaur then sends the Princesses to Tartarus as revenge for trapping him in Tartarus for many years. Later on, Tirek was reimprisoned back in Tartarus by the Mane Six and the Princesses were set free from Tartarus thanks to the magic of friendship.
In the series finale, Tirek battled the Pillars and easily defeated them thanks to his newfound power acquired from the Bewitching Bell. Tirek seems to not recognize Star Swirl during the battle and it is unknown if Tirek knew of Star Swirl's friendship toward his brother. Tirek later imprisoned them in Canterlot with the help of Chrysalis and Cozy. During the final battle, the Pillars were released and regained the magic that Tirek stole from them thanks to the magic of friendship. Tirek and his cohorts were defeated and turned to stone.
In both Season 8 and Season 9, he is notably a bit more comedic, however, he maintains his serious and manipulative side as well, especially when confronting his enemies, though it has some negative reviews, with some fans saying that they enjoyed Tirek being serious in his debut and complains that the writers giving him too many comedic moments in his later appearances just dumb him down and lessens his evilness and intimidation a bit. His portrayal in Season 9 has gathered positive reviews, with fans saying that they enjoyed Tirek's chemistry with Queen Chrysalis and Cozy Glow and that he is given more character development as well. Some fans shipped Lord Tirek with Queen Chrysalis as they are similar characters who steal magic/love from ponies to gain power and acted as "parents" to Cozy Glow at times. Though they never show any romantic feelings for each other in the show, they did learn to cooperate with each other and their relationship could possibly have happened if Chrysalis and Tirek didn't reject the concept of friendship and love. They are also the same age, even though Chrysalis looks to be a few years younger than Tirek. Big Jim Miller has joked on Twitter about their relationship that if they did get together, he expected a quick divorce between the two. His chemistry with Cozy Glow is also praised as their constant bickering and arguing is very humorous to watch and that they are willing to work together. However, some fans were wondering how Cozy Glow came into contact with Lord Tirek in the first place, but it can be assumed that Cozy found out about Tirek in the School of Friendship and decided to write him a letter so she can have the magic stealing villain help her with her plans. Tirek's battle with Twilight Sparkle in Season 4 received acclaim from fans as the battle was intense and epic. The fight was based on Dragon Ball Z, which is one of the reasons why the fight was so acclaimed. His defeat in the Season 9 finale gathered a mixed reaction. While most were pleased that he was turned to stone alongside the other baddies, others were wanting Tirek to be reformed, since he did come close to reform in "Frenemies". Despite this, unlike Chrysalis and Cozy, Tirek's fate is more widely accepted and not many have a problem with it. Despite this, Tirek remained one of the most popular and fan-favorite villains in the series. 041b061a72
