@SanLun Well, you are the sane one! ;P

Jokes aside, you are free to believe so. It is known that Zeref isn't too complex as far as final villains go in fantasy series(final fantasy XD). But few top Madara's fate as most pathetic fate ever. Zeref was my fav from the get-go and has only improved as a character in each of his appearances. Madara on the other hand, was a let-down. There were so many flaws in his plan and he was in the peak of mastermind health too. I really shared his ideology, but then it all went to shit. Then you have Aizen who was the perfect mastermind but in a moment of pathetic deus ex machina writing lost his spotlight until he was able to take the stage by storm once he powered up via strapped-to-a-chair-training.

The thing is, it was plain obvious that Zeref was gonna lose. So there is no reason in my mind to hate him. I don't WANT him to lose. With Lucia, I DID want him to lose. I know it may be hard for others, but I greatly sympathize with him. And I may be biased in my view on the writing recently due to the train of thought that is "Zeref reveals = End of Series = Celebration" but Zeref will have my support. :P

And may I point out one tidbit regarding your point? Are you really pinning the resurrection matter on Zeref? He was only a victim and with the purest of intentions. Plus the warning was more of a myth since it goes against Religion and Ethics; I doubt any genius would give a toss about such warnings. And about creating Demons, imagine you yourself in that position. Let's say the contradiction curse didn't occur during that time. The Demons were made with all the aggression, cunning, and power required to kill your immortal self. The dangerous behaviour is part of the package. Sure, creating them has the side-effect of them being able to terrorize other living beings, but such is applicable to any lab-produced monster and we have been shown in such cases that it is the politics, not the act of creating, that affects such matters.

And lets not forget that even with the Demons, various personalities existed; some of them quite honorable and/or humane while others were just savage. Hence, just creating Demons is not necessarily connected to making the world a harsher place. If anything it also added a contrast: To see whether it is humans themselves that were capable of the cruelest acts and not Demons that were programmed with aggression. So far, it has proven that humans are by far the most cruel(Brain/Zero for one) precisely because they chose to act like that even if they lacked the dangerous abilities. It can really get deep if you think about it.

You can refute this if you want though. :) I'm not going to drag it on because I admit I am very very biased. >_>
