I'm curious... did people really want to see Acnologia fight agianst the Dragon Slayers?

If it was prior to the reveal of Acnologia being able to not only eat all magic, but also being able to suck out the magic power from people who are just near to him (like he did with Jellal right before catching him in his claw) I'd understand it, but like this? Remember that not even Igneel's mountain-evaporating magic could so much as scratch Acnologia. Only with physical attacks could Ingeel hurt Acno.

If the DS had fought Acnologia at this point of the story I can only see two possible outcomes:
 * 1) Acnologia rofl-stomps them (possibly after playing around with them) without them putting even a scratch on him and people will scream why Mashima even bothered to have that fight. Overhyping Acnologia thus making his eventual defeat even more bullshit, waste of time, unnecessary, shitting on the DS... and similar comments would follow.
 * 2) The DS will win through some bullshit and people with scream bullshit, plot-armour, retcon and asspull at the top of their lungs and will once again complain about the villains being overhyped.

Is that really, honestly what you wanted to happen?
