Well I don't deny that Minerva is a good villain but in this series she is definitely not the best in my own opinion and I can't see why people can say she's the best. I believe that there are number of greater villains like Hades, Jellal (when he was evil and probably when I liked him the most) and Brain but I can't really compare her to villains like them as they were truly evil with their plans that, if they would have succeeded, would have devastated the world so I find Minerva more on the Laxus and Lyon level of things as their goals are more personal with the likes of overcoming their teacher as in this case Minerva just wants her guild to be on top again by any means necessary (within the rules of the GMG) and having fun while doing so. Anyway I just prefer most of the villains that have plans which are on a wider scale and looking at the villains I would compare Minerva with I still prefer Laxus and Lyon more but Laxus would the one I consider the better villain as he was able too cause Fairy Tail to battle each other, he held a city hostage and in overall battle power he exceeded all/most of his opponents and as for Lyon, though he may not be a better villain then Minerva I just prefer his motives and character more. I still enjoy seeing how Minerva goes in this last event but it I just find the rest more enjoyable so she would be my fifth favorite villain in the series if you including main villains of arcs only.
