So out of the fights so far, I disliked 3, Brandish was hardly a fight. Face it, you complain about this arc, but Tartaros the arc you hype up so much, had the same problems. The fights in Fairy Tail are not consistent. Some are cool/good, but that's it.
You have some legit points, if I may add, Tartaros had some of the darkest or most anticipated events in the series.
- The magic council got all killed.
- Wendy went Dragon force.
- The Dragons returned to the story solving many mysteries.
- Alot of parents died, something that´s absent from the story during this arc.
- We had a flashback for Mirajane and other less utilized characters that shined.
- The first actual timeskip was introduced.
- Civilians died and we got to see their terror.
Compared to how many casualties Tartaros had the Spiggan arc seems awfully tame. For examble, they could have killed off Sabretooth fodder, naming a few numbers would helped to imagine their lethality.
Bradman crucified people, yet they made jokes about Jenny´s panties instead of actually torturing the prisoners. Tartaros lacked humor something that´s missplaced way too often in this arc.
It was a darker arc, indeed, my main complain is with all the fuss about the fights and BS of some certain fights, where every FT battle has this problem, so it's not only in this arc. So far, I do prefer Tartaros over Alvarez, mainly because of the things you pointed out, however it did have problems. If anything this current arc lacks more tension, there were some good parts, like with this chapter for example (not the end, because Mest is stupid), or Natsu confronting Zeref, Acnologia showing up, but that's not enough, more things are probably coming, Fairy Tail forces are pretty much tired out after this, and Zeref still got more people on his side. Also the lack of death in a war is... I'd say bad. More fodder should die.
