S class mages SHOULDN'T be considered invincible. Just because they're strong doesn't mean they won't face struggles/ hard-won battles, or else it would be an easy win-always win-no action anime (as I would describe it). While it's true Mashima doesn't always create the best scenarios/ endings, I wouldn't consider him pulling any "dick-moves" by having characters have casualties/ getting hurt, in order words ending or creating suspense. "I don't want friends to die, or fade away. I don't want battles where we have to lose in order to win." Well that's too bad lol, I'd think it would be pretty boring if I expected the characters to win EVERY SINGLE battle with no sacrifice, injuries, or even deaths; that's just how many shonen or in this case Fairytail stories progress, or for a matter of fact how most stories progress, there has to be something that cause an antecedent action to create suspense. As for the Aquarius thing, I personally thought it was VERY well done- sad and tragic. It also many not be the end of Aquarius, if the author wants her to come back, well then... she will come back. You should look to the bright side. I recommend Sailor moon crystal that came out not along ago to you, seeing how the protagonists always win, yet there is still sacrifices etc... they just come back alive and recover.
