It does make a story more interesting however there needs to be legitimate reasons why something occurs, Natsu beating Sting and Rogue at the same time without the use of Dragon Force is one of those things we could argue as not legit but it's still going to be opinion. As for Erza losing? In a 1 on 1 vs anyone still fighting other than Jura just does not seem legitimate in my opinion and same goes for Laxus. Seeing Juvia, Gajeel, and Gray getting crushed would make sense and would make the story more emotional. Maybe if Erza fights Minerva and Kagura at the same time she should lose but for me if I saw Laxus lose to anyone other than Jura I would become uninterested because it would not make sense.

Also, Erza's response to 2nd Origin just screams that there is no way she should get the shit kicked out of her. Why do you want Erza to be stomped?
