User blog comment:SoulRise99/HISHE: How Fairy Tail Should Have Ended/@comment-200.8.22.175-20170725090550

While I agree 100% with you that NaLu has always been a fanon fantasy fabricated by the shippers, is kind off a dick move to call them out on it only to include your own fanon ideas left, right, front and center in your post. Just saying.

Anyway, I think the material for the arc to be better is there, the problem is Hiro's horrid execution and using yet again his formulaic aproach to his last arc. What a shock -_-

1. In order to payoff the insane ammount of hype behind the Alvarez and the Spriggan 12, make this so that is them vs ALL of the Kingdom of Fiore, not just goddamn Fairy Tail. Is he really telling us than in this whole year the only ones who made any kind of gain was FT? What about Sabertooth? Or Lamia Scale? Or Mermaid Heel? Or Blue Pegasus? Or Quatro Cerberus? Or Crime Sorcière? Do they only exist to lose to make more hot air hype for the Spriggans? Hell, what about the King's forces? Or, more importantly, the motherfucking Gods of Ishgar and the other Wizard Saints?!

It would have been so much better to make it so that each of the S12 were defeated by the combined efforts of different mages from different guilds, that way their hype would have been truth and the usual Nakama power-up BS could have been replaced with an actually believable victory thru bonds, and more importantly, to not have Plotsu and Plotza give us aneurysms with their BS and their one-shots.

2. No asspulls/Deus Ex Machina/incredibly-convinient-and-unknown-magic-power/character-turned-plot-device moments: I know I wasn't the only one just utterly nonplussed with the way that Wendy "enchanted" dragon slaying magic unto Erza's sword, I mean seriously what the fuck was that? But I should have seen that coming, considering that Irene appearently can "enchant" life and sentience to a couple of swords... What was he thinking?! Was he kissing the sky when he drew that?! Did he really not realize the ridiculous implication of what those powers would have in the story?! But of course, he had to cap it off with Wendy also being able to "enchant" the actual DS styles and element to Natsu of all fucking people, of course, and have Meredy tag the entire continent in a couple of minutes, even if she had no way of knowing that they were going to use Fairy Sphere, or how FS works, or what FS is to begin with... Oh, I almost forgot the Ultear "imprint" in DIO'S WORLD, I mean Dimaria's Age Seal, and Third Origin, or that Lucy coud rewrite an entire book that not only was written in a language that she didn't knew, but that even used a completely differente alphabet, simply 'cause she's an "author"...

And Anna and the Ravines of Time? No, just, just no.

3. No cringeworthy comedy in the fights, especially if said cringeworthy comedy is the reason reason why the manage to pull a win (I'm looking at you Lucy and Cana vs Brandish, Natsu and Lucy vs Jacob)

4. No death fake outs. No need to explain this one. And just let Makarov die, the poor old dwarf doesn't deserve to be denied his sweet release over and over and over again. And also no fake forced drama like Natsu's "tumor" or his body shutting off, or Brandish forced backstory.

5. Speaking of death... Hiro, regrow your balls and kill off some of the good guys!!! This is supousedly a war, yet not a single good guy dies, and no, Mavis doesn't count, she was basically dead already. At least we had some form of lasting consequence with Sherria... PSYCHE LOL, she reagined her magic 'cause why not? ..l..

6. END had to appear at some given point, and be fucking relevant. He can't just hype something so much only to throw it to the side like scraps on his plate. It was literally the best solution to both Zeref and Acnolgia, but nooooooooooooooo, instead we got back-to-back corny, cheese friendship speeches followed by their respective Nakama ONE PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH!

To think that this is the same dude that wrote Rave Master, smfh.

"12ast but not least: FT and AE kill each other of"

If only...
