To anyone who thinks Tirek will return later:

If he does, how could he be defeated?

Last time it took Rainbow Power to defeat him, and judging from the movie the Mane 6 can't use it a second time, otherwise once they were out of Tempest's sight, they'd have activated it and used it to blast the Storm King straight to Tartarus, rather than having to go through all the trouble to find the Sea Ponies.

Even Twilight couldn't defeat him with the magic of four alicorns, they were about evenly matched (though Twilight seemed to have a slight advantage, but ultimately she couldn't finish him and they were at an "impasse").

UNLESS... Whoever releases him would have to restore his magic, but they might just give him enough power to be medium size and shoot magic beams, while leaving out the ability to suck magic (since he lost all his power). Just thought of this now. So there might be a chance.
