No need for attacks like that. Even with defenses like that, you have to agree that the Avatar Arc had some glaring issues. Juvia's extreme dependency reaching filler levels of Flanderization, the obviously not-evil Gray (seriously, who actually bought that? It was dumb in the Daphne Arc and it was just as dumb here), the fact that it couldn't be bothered to explain how and even why Gray killed Frosch in F!Rogue's timeline and what exactly changed, etc...
Do we know the parents of all the Fairy Tail cast?
The important plotpoint is that something happened within that "alternative" timeline that made Gray kill Frosch, it´s called plot device.
Hiro made clear that this isn´t gonna happen in this new timeline (our timeline).
He could revisit this plotpoint later on again,however there are alot of hints that it was an accident, we do not need him to show us the alternative timeline, there´s also no way to actually proof that. Just keep in mind everything that has changed within this timeline, that was altered 3 times.
We do not know how timelines work in the FT universe. Toriyamas Dragon Ball multiverse consists of only 12universes not an infinite number
Avatar is the Fishman Island arc equivalent of Fairy Tail.
It was meant to be nothing else and everyone could tell from it´s introduction, going from demons to some random dark guild that´s reminiscent of Erigor.
Regarding Juvias dependancy, do we read the same manga?
Juvia is like this since she came to Fairy Tail, sorry Juvia fanboys that´s her role wake up. The last time she had development outside of Gray sama was during the Laxus arc where she proofed herself as a loyal member of the guild, like it or not, she gets some screentime with others but the "Gray Sama attitude" never changed, it was nothing new that she´ll get sick when her loved one is absent.
It´s fitting for Gray´s character that he´s careless, but he gave the explanation of Juvia being unreliable when it comes to keeping quiet.
And to be honest she´s believeably written, she had boyfriends before, Phantom lord wanted her for her power alone and Gray let her see the sunny sky for the first time in her life. Her admiration comes from Gray´s ability to lighten up her heart, that´s why she loves him to death. Sorry perverts no waifu material here.
