  1. The context of a word does not change it’s meaning if that word has only one definition.  
  2. The only time we actually see soldiers fighting anyone, is in a situation where the princesses are clearly outnumbered, and couldn’t possibly win in a fight alone. [Immortal ≠ all powerful]  
  3. The greek/roman mythos is only a part of their universe, as many parts are taken from either general fantasy, or from various other cultures [IE: Changelings are a celtic/european legend] and therefore, cannot be held to the rules of greek/roman mythos de-facto.

@The CLaUD  
The dictionary description is counter intuitive to a discusion about cartoons, you realize this, right?  
Because if death can’t affect them, why do they not fight their own bloody battles, instead of sending soldiers who’ll drop like flies?  
If anything, using your choice dictionary perfect definition makes them even more worthless on this situation, you know that, right?

>Xenocide  
Yeah, that’s still a form genocide.
 
Also, if you’re immortal, you’re gonna have to do that eventually anyway.  
(And on that note, who says that Celestia could have killed Nightmare Moon even if she wanted to? They are both assumedly immortal.)

Would like to add that Genocide isn’t what I suggested.  
It would be Xenocide, though again, killing an individual is none of the above. It’s homi/Equino-cide.  
And either way they’ve already done far worse to them, torture beyond a mortals scope.  
I’d rather be dead and gone then rot away till My own Name means nothing but gibberish to me.

@Pagan  
From the perspective of the show? Yes, that would be bad.  
From a perspective of someone who’s family and life were ruined because of these threats more or less being allowed to walk about like they own the place?  
Yeah, killing a threat that can’t be reasoned with isn’t an abuse of power.  
And the changelings aren’t a part of this, if only because reasoning with them would be possible, if one were to actually attempt it on equal footing.  
Tirek wouldn’t care, Sombra wouldn’t, and Nightmare Moon could very well killed the entire planet before realizing what went wrong.  
Family is not more important then the people, not when you wear a crown.

They get pretty built up yeah, look at Sombra in his premiere he hardly even actually did anything but was still foreboding.
 
@ExistenceNull  
Forgot to mention that killing her enemies would include killing her sister, we wouldn’t have Luna if she did things your way.

@PonyPon  
What her enemies lack in numbers they make up for in strength there’s a reason most the problems they face requires the mane six to defeat them.

Sorry but Equestria isn’t the same as our world they actually have a stable civilization and killing is not something they value like humans do we’re also very hypocritical about it our laws say do not kill and Christians have it in their commandments yet we still do it on a regular basis it doesn’t help anything it only causes more problems. If you look at it from a show perspective they aren’t going to show or have Celestia killing anyone you’re barking up the wrong tree if you want killing and violence go watch Game of Thrones it sounds like you would like that show more.
 
And by your logic you think the changelings should be hunted down and killed despite we have seen docile ones and personally an alliance would be more beneficial than a genocide but hey she should act more like humans right so lets kill em all and lets make zebras and donkeys slaves to ponies they should also invade the griffins and start a war with them that’ll help make them better right?
 
If you lose respect for Celestia because she has power but doesn’t abuse it then you should be a politician you’d fit right in, I respect her more that she has power but is also merciful something a lot humans could stand to learn as well.

Maybe but I have a hard time taking that seriously due to how it was presented, the mane six seem to be the task force now but back then it seemed like it was supposed to be the wonderbolts given their presence during Spikes rampage but we saw how good they are at handling things, though they didn’t show up to Cerberus’s appearance so who knows.
 
I think they just need to make some fortifications around their towns so they can see things coming sooner and potentially keep them out though most of the things they are attacked by require the mane six to deal with it I get that the gaurds aren’t very capable but at the same time their enemies are beyond their level of skill anyway even if they were trained and had things like crossbows, they seem to be able to keep things from the everfree out and criminals don’t seem to be everywhere in the towns so they probably are capable of doing those things but most things require the mane six’s intervention due to the nature of most threats we see.
 
I think they need to get some kind of shield like Shinings to put up around villages and towns that would probably be their best bet for defending against attacks.

@Pagan  
Given how many huge scary monsters could potentially destroy Equestria are lurking about, you would think they would have something akin to a Equestria Defense Force to deal with monsters, oh wait, isn’t that supposed to be Bon Bon’s job?

@ExistenceNull  
Well Sombra’s dead but I don’t think killing is something they are okay with which is understandable even if it is the quicker solution it’s not always the best and saying they should do something they find ethically wrong isn’t the most wise thing to do, as for the sealing they do have that they just last for 1000 years not forever but that’s probably the maximum amount of time a sealing spell can last.
 
I do agree that upgrading their defenses would be a good idea though.

I do find it amazing how Starlight needs to be responsible for Equestria’s worthless military.  
Celestia has more responsibility because she should have prepared for these event’s, since except for Discord and Tirek, all of these could have been solved or counted if the effort to advance beyond Spears and armor had been made.  
Hell, make a sealing spell, or kill them when you beat them the first time.

They do it all year round but Christmas is the worst they say it’s supposed to be pure and I’m tainting it with my existence and that I should kill myself to show respect to god and other crazy shit like that they also used to throw trash in my yard but ever since I started shooting at cars that do that it doesn’t happen as much.
