Yes. We are obviously animals and food. But that doesn't change his attitude. Like I said, he MAY have been as you said once upon a time, but not anymore. And if he is, then expect something like in Rave or the movie Brave, where his old human personality only arises once the Darkness of the monster has lost its hold. If that kind of thing happens though, Acnologia would hardly be any different from Jellal or if you take the 'it had to be done' then that's Ultear right there.

So yeah, while I do like the concept, I want Acnologia to be a different villain. Add in the fact that Mashima can't make him pull "the face" without pulling a chibi, and you got a villain that can't disappoint as much others. Sure, if you read the latest chapter though, you could argue this point....
