I daresay "first" is far more subjective.

"Weakened" at least describes what the audience sees. The princesses' storytelling reveals that Tirek was much stronger when he first attempted to take over, so he is considerably weakened, following his escape from Tartarus.

"First" is just wrong because, again through the princesses' storytelling, we learn that he was different in the past. What makes this form the first? Is it first because it appears first in the episode? Trying to stay out-of-universe is one thing, but completely ignoring the universe is a dangerous habit.
