To be fair, I don't have that much of a problem with plot magic. I understand that the process of creating a proper and pleasing fight is very hard. But my problem with Mashima is that he relies on stupid tactics wayy to much. Like the end of the GMG, Natsu's LFD mode (which I think i still a pretty good idea, since the use of fire magic throughout the entire series is boring, but i hoped that natsu would have trained to use it and not have it be some random instant power-up), Ultear "defeats" Zeref...

This series would have been way better if the main characters would train to achieve new heights instead of getting an instant power-up or some nakama power surge through them t. Like I wish we could see the Dragon Slayer train to achieve dragon force or at least master their second element :/
