User blog comment:Miskos3/Fairy Tail Chapters 532 & 533, Review/@comment-4449950-20170424084451

I wasn't going to leave a proper review, because I cbs, but now I'm bored and can justify the waste of time :) Dot points away!


 * Zervis colour page is just everything wrong with FT right now: it tries to make sense of a plot point that never made sense after Mashima screwed with it too much, pushes a creepy relationship between a man and a thirteen-yo-bodied girl, and will continue to move the plot forward despite it making absolutely no sense and the two involved just changing their minds about things dependent on what the plot needs. I'll get back to that last point soon.
 * Oh yay, Mira and Laxus are in a panel together so they must be canon now ( .__.)
 * Kay, here's where Mavis makes no goddamn sense. Why is she trying to reason with Zeref to "end him". HER GOAL IS LITERALLY TO END HIM! She knows he's insane and wants to help him, so what does she do? Rather than just using this so-called idea and killing him, she asks him if she can use this so-called idea. Honestly... what the flying fuck was that meant to achieve?!? Why tf is Mavis telling Zeref she can kill him and seeking his opinion when his ultimate goal is to fuck over the world for the strict purpose of dying (or at least, that's the plan Mavis should think he still has, because Natsu only found out his real, time travel plan before she showed up)?? That's just giving him the opportunity to get all whiny like he did. She should know by now that he's off his rocker, isn't *cough* "her" Zeref (or did the last torture session with Irene not give away that he gives no fucks?) and she should just take him out. God, for a tactician she's been dumb as heck this arc >_>
 * Nobody seems to like Zeref's plan to go back in time so that he's not immortal, doesn't fuck over the world and kills Acnologia. But... hold the phone, if Zeref did achieve this, Natsu would have a family, Gray would have a family (no Deliora), Erza would have a family (no ToH), Gildarts would have his body (no Acno)... etc. etc. for many other characters fucked over by Zeref, his demons, his Magic, or Acno. They're all against the plan because of "feelings", and though I don't necessarily blame them, this whole idea that it's awful and Zeref needs to be stopped is annoying me. If this was a deeper/better series it would explore the advantages and disadvantages of such a moral dilemma. But it won't... because it's FT .-.
 * Moving on, and as pointed out by others, I guess that long procedure done on Mavis with Irene last time just... wasn't needed this time? Or at all? Or it's an fickle thing, sometimes you need the long extraction/magic-y process and other times you don't? W/e, I give up, moving on!
 * If Zeref is so upset about Acno and doesn't want him around and Mavis now has all of her ultimate power back because she's not trapped in crystal, why don't they just... uhhh? Try to fight him together with full-power Mavis and dragon!Natsu because they haven't tried that? Ooooorr... maybe use bloody Fairy Sphere to keep everyone safe and Acno away? Like, Mavis made the sphere last for 7 years on the drained FT members bonds->power, I'm certain she could power the thing forever if she has this apparent ultimate Magic. But who am I kidding, that's too easy!! D:<
 * I'd usually be all for Jellal buying time by taking on Acno, but I swear Mashima, I SWEAR TO GOD, if he "goes down" and "almost dies" (for, what, the 42nd time in this manga?) I'll crack it. Seriously, enough! This is like Makarov fake-out deaths all over again. It's too much.
 * Lel, that Serena pose cracks me up XD
 * Hahaha, he turned into a fairy :P
 * I would take a jab at Juvia only thinking about Gray again, but I'm so over that pair that I don't want to waste even more time.
 * Okay, turning around my mood, I like where Lucy is going with the rewrite E.N.D thing. If she can pull this off it will be awesome for her character, the way she's been dictating that plot almost like a story for the entire series, and I will be satisfied with how at least her character was impacting on the plot. Go Lucy! Save this arc even a little bit! I have faith in you!
 * I literally started laughing when I saw the spoilers of Natsu getting stabbed/hand-jobbed. Honestly, I couldn't stop. It's funny because it's not funny, if that makes sense. I'd honestly like to see Natsu go down, but he won't, so all of this is pointless drivel and it's funny because I know it's meant to be taken seriously and if this was any other series I would take it seriously. Too bad it's FT, and I don't .-.
 * So, all in all, I'm liking what Lucy's doing, I will likely like what Jellal does so long as he doesn't have a death fake-out again, and everything else is just a clusterfuck :/ So... go Lucy I suppose??
 * Also, side note, but I honestly wonder what this arc would be like if Mashima hadn't accidentally given Mavis a female name and changed her entire character because of that. Would Zeref have a gay lover? Would this arc be entirely different? I dunno, but I'd like to think it'd be better than this, seeing as this probably wasn't exactly the original story plan .-.
