 * It's not about Erza requiring extra speed to move her arm in time. It's about Erza not even realizing when Ikaruga attacked. Reduction of armour doesn't help her brain process info faster.
 * Yup, I know Mashima is inconsistent. Which is why I'm not really pushing for the noticable absence of speed difference in the mentioned events. ._./
 * As for the Flight Armour ... just saying that Mashima should have made Erza use a Speed Enhancement Armour. Just like he made her use a Defense Enhancement Armour against Jupiter. Speed is a basic trait, one doesn't have to come up with the idea of an armour which increases speed. :/
 * Her battles have been consistenly bad since Tenrou, though. The significant ones anyway. And 'interesting' is a matter of opinion. Just like you don't find Ice-Make interesting, some people might not find waving a sword around and destroying stuff interesting, especially in a series where large-scale destruction doesn't induce awe. ;D And that's pretty much all of Erza's battles aside from Midnight. ... And I don't get the popularity statement at all. All the hate poured Bieber, no skin off his back either. He still rakes in the cash. .-.
 * It was a chain of events that can be followed. A whole arc was dedicated to show that Ur's consciousness now resides in the ocean. A similar incident with Atlas Flame's revival exists. I really don't see the problem. It's like saying that Erza's eye negating all Eye Magic is plot-convenient. ._./
 * Erza's crap statements in the Midnight battle are easily overlooked because nonsense and crap speech being a small part of a battle and having next to no effect on the outcome is vastly different from a nonsense and crap speech being a significant factor in a battle. Even more so as Gray's was a dialogue which could be followed, unlike Erza's baseless preaching.
