User blog comment:Ultraprime2/My 10 Most Disappointing Characters in Fairy Tail/@comment-5580383-20131129171047/@comment-3987368-20131129183623


 * 1) 10. I've given my thoughts on Zeref below. I'll agree that it's relatively early to judge on the overall (hence why he's not high up in the list) but I still have to see more on him before saying he doesn't disappoint me at all, given that his build up basically makes him sound like Sauron while his debut doesn't live up to that.
 * 1) 9. It might be characterization on these guys that disappoints me more, but I still maintain they should've done more than they did or just plain not been talked up.
 * 1) 8. Really, Orga and Laxus should have had a lot more time together than they had. The times Laxus smirked upon seeing his strength and the two of them meeting one another in the town really made me think something awesome would happen and yet all that went on was what looked like shoulder-pushing. Really a let down here. Yes, Wendy did well in her fight against Chelia. I'm glad she had it so that we could see how much she had grown.
 * 1) 7. I agree on the DF issue. Her only significance post-battle was closing the gate and then crying at the banquet when everyone wanted to have her in their guild. Still, after talking up Ophiuchus and giving her the 2 Golden Spirits Lucy didn't have, I expected more of her, or at least she could have been redeemed later on. I still want to see what Ophiuchus is made of.
 * 1) 6. I was literally hoping for her to water-whip the hell out of the Dragon-spawn after Gray died.
 * 1) 4. I don't mind the backstory itself, but really more along the lines of how it was constructed and put into the story. There was no foreshadowing whatsoever. It was just "I'm from the same village as you are." "Oh, you're the one who saved me when we were kids." We'd already gone through Erza's origin story in the ToH arc and nowhere, not once, was a hometown mentioned or any siblings for any of the kids. Hoteye being Wally's brother was alright seeing as was believable enough and wasn't a major point, unlike this one. I like her character, but I really feel disappointed by her, though you bring a good point about Mashima's involvement.
 * 1) 3. Sure, the loss to Elfman wasn't the worst thing, and Elfman did catch him by surprise with that surprise transformation but I would expect someone like Bacchus, who is used to fighting with his hands, to have some kind of back-up plan for opponents he can't fight that way. Agreed on the other two things.
 * 1) 2. I don't really know what that was dubbed but Natsu didn't have any physical tells of a power-up the way he did in DF or LFD Mode, so I figured any kind of boost was just enhancement rather than something significant like those two. True, though Natsu would've lost without it, FR still didn't put up much of a fight.
 * 1) 1. Well about a weak Weisslogia dying to Sting, on one hand it makes sense given how a strong dragon wouldn't have died but also makes this guy worse given how he bragged about killing it and later revealing the truth and making me go ">_>".


 * Jet and Droy: Funnily enough, I believe Shadow Gear was called the "Backbone Team" of Fairy Tail.
 * Rogue: I'm alright with Rogue, personally.
 * Jellal: Funny how people call this guy "Author's pet" when he's in such a position.
 * Ichiya: Y'know, you have a point there.

Erza: Well, I don't think it's "most" but I do think it's a lot and those two are the main ones. Despite that, she's still my favorite female in the series.

Lucy: Yeah, I don't think Lucy's disappointing for the most part. I think she just needs some chances to show her capabilities, which do extend beyond showing skin.

I find Gray to be someone I can't really relate with, so I tend to find myself bored with his fights really.

As to Happy, it's more of personal distaste for his character.
