I'm starting to believe FT fans don't hold the mental capacity to understand our complaints with Juvia's revival.
NO! We don't have a personal vendetta against your beloved Juvia. She just happened to be the character Mashima 'killed' in the last chapter. The complaint is why Mashima goes through the trouble of drawing and writing these deaths if it's not going to stick? Sure, you can be happy Juvia is alive, but would you rather Mashima waste pages 'killing' a character off, KNOWING they aren't going to die? THAT is ONE of the complaints. Seeing panels where characters 'die' is a waste of time at this point. People actually shed tears for last chapter's bullshit--what about them?
Another reason is what Fai said--there is no consequences in this war. There is no tension or feeling of threat. It's just repetitive and uninteresting.
Please tell me even those with responses like 'fuck the haters' at least understand where we are coming from. I can't explain it better than that.
So let me get this straight: a whole world is turned upside down, people have actually been killed (don't tell me that you think everyone did stay intact after eileen's magic, it's just that our focus is with the mages), the good mages are tortured and reach their limits at some point and yes they risk their lives to save their guild and defend their home/country and their people/comrades. And you are disappointed that they stay alive? Do you think there aren't enough consequences in this war? well, let me assure you that I think they are enough and I think that I express a lot of people's opinions about this. We don't want to see our favorite characters being killed on top of everything else. I actually liked the old times when the gang went for missions and they were happy. I feel the threat all the time because at some point Mashima may kill someone for real and I wouldn't want that. this is war but this is also a fairy tale. and you tend to forget that.
As for the other thing, that he wastes pages for the "deaths". well I think that he overdramatizes the situations given and he makes us believe they are deaths. I don't say he is excellent at writing or that there aren't any plotholes. But I think we can give hiro mashima some credt that he can make our hearts race and our feelings crumble with these "deaths". we believe them, I think most of the fans that are attached to the manga deeply believe them. Even if we know that they may come back at that time it hurts and he accomplishes his goal to impact the readers. So let's give him some credit for that.
Tell me one LASTING consequence of this arc
Nobody cares for IRRELEVANT fodders in the story, and no Eileen's magic doesn't kill people, they just get transported to random locations (unless they were transported to some volcano or something)
I don't think anyone would've had a problem if they actually went out on missions and stuff, those were the good old days of FT
The problem is actually Hiro wasting (YES, WASTING) his time and our time with these death fake outs, while ALL of us who KNOWS the series well are SURE that they WON'T die. He can better utilize these panels on making the fights better (if you had forgotten, this is a battle shounen with adventure as its theme, not a shoujou) instead of wasting them on pointless BS drama and then giving us ONESHOTS of Spriggans.
How did Invel's chain break if Juvia wasn't dead? It's supposed to break only if one of them die right?
You STILL think Hiro can even kill off a SINGLE member of the guild? Wow, have we been reading the same manga?
I don't mean to be rude, but at least TRY to understand where the complaints come from.
