I try to look at things objectively vs subjectively. For one, whenever an upset happens in sports in real life, there is a reason for it and it comes down to heart. I'm not sure if you of you are sports fans or not but this happens all the time especially in MMA and Boxing which I feel is relevant because although they are mages, they still are fighting. In the match-up of Laxus vs Jura for example, I look at it like this: Jura's physical strength and magical strength should be immense enough where he should have only needed to land 1 or two spells to take down Laxus. If he used rumbling mt fuji for example and landed it on Laxus, Laxus should have been defeated close to death. The problem is that Laxus, is much faster than Jura, he can turn into lightning there is no possible way for Jura to be faster. In the fight, Jura did not land one spell on Laxus because of this speed. Now, because of the speed Laxus has over jura and physical strength that could possibly be half of Jura's, having that immense speed gave his blows much more impact. Jura is very strong, but so is Laxus ( he just happened to move more quickly and have more of a reason for winning. In real life when ever a small person beats a bigger person, that is not abnormal.

Now as for the Natsu VS Hades? I think that is the biggest garbage I've ever seen. The last attack where Erza and Gray kick Natsu head first into a seething Hades? That is an abomination and I agree 100% with you there. I wish that would have been done differently on so many levels...
