So Irene is hands down one of my favorite characters in FT, but this is another case of "bad shit happening to/around/for a character you like." Where do I even begin?

Irene cannot enchant herself into another body last chapter, lel retcon. Mashima on that retcon status faster than Kishimoto. Remember Kakashi? That was one of my favorite Naruto characters, and then that bullshit with the PERFECT Sussano happens. This is the same situation, Irene is dumbed down and digs her own grave, because Mashima cannot defeat her in any other way. It is absolute crap writing and I really feel bad about what he does to his characters. It is clear he has no respect for any of his villains bar Acnologia and Zeref, oh and you just wait for their time to shine.

And to all the lolicon's and delusionists that think it is fine that Mashima can make a 13 year old girl equal a 400 year old dragon sorceress that created her magic? This isn't your fantasy, and it isn't a magical girl series, despite it being about friendship. This is a battle manga, and in these, I'm sorry, in EVERY story, you compare characters with their feats. Assumptions and power-scaling are just assumptions. Does anyone besides CNBA really think that Wendy can reshape a continent? That she can enchant inanimate objects into living beings? If you are, quit wasting hundreds of dollars on whatever you are smoking, because it is clearly messing your sense of reason up. This was bullshit, I know it, you know it, and Mashima know's it. Art is all that saved it for me, though if Erza is forced to kill Wendy, which she won't, that can be redeemed to me. Well, guess it won't be redeemed.
