I wouldn't say the GMG were supposed to be serious. Im not a big fan of fanservice but comedy is always welcomed. What makes Fairy Tail Fairy Tail is some of the comedic moments. Seriously, who wasn't laughing at the "legends of the naked flying people". It was funny and I enjoyed it. The problem with this arc was that it had overall bad pacing and too much build up to nothing. The comedy didn't contribute to that, it was just Mashima's bad pacing.
