Fairy Tail Thread 3: Demon-ex Machinus

[lord_khaine]

Well.. pretty eventless chapters.. but decently average none the less.

Im kinda sad it turned out Gray wasnt evil after all, but i guess Hiro did manage to fool us all with his defection.

[Forum Explorer]

Honestly I think I like this better then a disappointment in the other direction. Rather then Grey being randomly evil, he's being a double agent. Which is still stupid cause the whole plan seemed to be, just follow them and beat them up when they all get together. But hey, it's better then Natsu just beating Grey up and restoring him with the almighty power of a fist to the face.

He wasn't randomly evil he was possessed by demon powers. It might of actually been kind of cool.

Though yes you're right, long run this is better...it's just so INCREDIBLY unsatisfying. And makes Erza look like a huge *******.

[Soras Teva Gee]

This chapter was almost literally my first thought on seeing the plotline. Not that I'd been waiting for the reveal, but seriously if there is anyone in FT that would do this...

[Zaydos]

This was in character for Gray, and ultimately more satisfying than "Oooh possession, hero fight".

Well clearly he wasn't. And honestly, I figure that being possessed by his new powers was kinda stupid too.

Eh, it's par for the course for Fairy Tail. Fairy Tail isn't even a junk food story anymore, it is the literary version of a raw potato. Yeah, you can eat it, but why?

Which is a damn good question. Why am I still reading this story?

[Kato]

Well clearly he wasn't. And honestly, I figure that being possessed by his new powers was kinda stupid too.

The thing is... yes, it was obvious. And we didn't really expect anything else. But we could hope, right? We could hope he was consumed by demonic forces, or rage, revenge whatever. And even if Natsu managed to beat him he could have said "this changes nothing!" or something. Yeah, it wouldn't have been very original but more original than this.

Which is a damn good question. Why am I still reading this story?

Why, really... maybe at this point because it is fun to complain about how bad it is most of the time? Though, once in a while it makes me smile at least

I still read Bleach for awhile just for train wreck value... but I stopped going into the Bleach thread just to complain about how stupid and terrible it was.

Just saying folks.

If we all did that this thread would be basically empty.

I would certainly feel lonely if i suddenly had noone else to complain to about the weirdly scaling power levels

[LaZodiac]

New Chapter! Well, one anyway since we're supposed to be getting two this week.

MY SWORDS POWER IS THAT IT DOESN'T LET YOU KNOW YOU GOT HIT.

I ****ing hate Fairy Tail sometimes.

That said, Lucy actually did legitimate fighting in this, and that's cool. Seriously though Erza is hate. Erza is anti life.

[Kato]

Seems to me both chapters are out (?)

Spoiler: :smallsigh:

Show

Okay, yeah, Lucy gets to do stuff... but otherwise... look how the Fairies wipe the floor with their enemies! It's not funny or anything. Okay, maybe they're trying to show us how string they have become, maybe because it's Acnologia time soon and we need a justification for how they can actually keep up. But... it's still stupid. None of them seem to pose even a tiny threat, Juvia is suddenly healthy - well maybe it was just love sickness - and kicks ass, too. (Well, not as much as Gray I guess but still)

Oh well, it's not... terrible. It's just not great either.

[LaZodiac]

The second chapter wasn't out at the moment when I posted.

Anyway, second new chapter:

Spoiler

Show

One of the pages was upside down but the text was not. Mangapanda what the ****.

Wendy and Juvia show up! Yay I guess? Juvia probably got healed from her sickness because Wendy remembered she has healing magic.

Also apparently Juvia trained so much with Grey she started stripping to fight too? Alright.

OH BUT THE VILLAIN HAS PLANNED FOR ALL OF THIS. It's EXACTLY AS PLANNED. Garbage.

Eh, I probably phrased that poorly. I just meant both are out

Spoiler

Show

Yeah, I wasn't sure what was up with that flipped page... Either they just screwed up or... some weird kind of watermarking?

Well, Wendy used healing magic on Juvia for the last... while. It sure is convenient it worked just in time for them to show up now, though

Yeah, Juvia seems to strip not, too... (sadly only her mantle. Ahem...)

Well, while whatever he has up his sleeve certainly won't hold up against the fairies... Maybe his plan all along was to have all his minions die and become sacrifices?

Well they're trying to attract Zeref, so maybe they're trying to get END to show up as well? Which uh...means they succeeded I guess?

[-D-]

@LaZodiac: MISSION ****ING ACCOMPLISHED.

[Sith_Happens]

maybe because it's Acnologia time soon

Of course it's Acnologia time soon, the dude apparently runs on a Zeref-worshipper-dar.

[chainer1216]

Stopped reading the manga because I was too busy, caught back up. Here are my notes

1. Lucys new cloths magic is so far the best thing to come out of this time skip.

2.gageel becoming a wizard policeman is pretty cool too.

3. We now have proof that fairytailverse women lack nipples.

4. Grey and erza are both *******s

5. Seriously what's with all the fetish stuff lately?

Aside from Juvia apparently also being a strip fighter, Lucy's new clothes magic is the ONLY thing to come out of the time skip.

The rest of what you've said is completely true. The only thing I can say about the fetish stuff is, Hiro must of learned that Kubo had a possibly transvestite corpse sexer in his manga and he's trying to step up his weirdo game.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say you're talking about Mayuri?

[LaZodiac]

Nope one of the villains (now turned tsundere ally to the heroes) is Giselle, a Quincy who may or may not be a trans character (it's unclear, all we know is that Yumechika said she smells like semen) and she's very clearly a necrophiliac.

Uhm... didn't we know 3 already? What new evidence has been presented?
And 5 is hardly new But I'll say since the demon arc the fetishes have become... weirder, at times.

Uhm... what? It's a good thing I never got into Bleach, I guess?

1) I agree, Lucy's new type of transformation magic where she changes type depending on what summon she has out is extremely cool, giving her one of the most interesting types of magic, and certainly now makes her the most interesting among the main cast.

2) Gajeel has found his true home, and i do kinda think the council really needs wizards of his weight class to keep the peace the next time somelike the the Salamander starts causing trouble.

3) Im not sure we have sufficient information for this. One nippleless woman does not mean all of the lack those..

4) As i recall they have both always been really cold.

5) What fetish stuff..?
Well i guess.. in theory everything is fetish stuff, seeing as a fetish is just a desire for something, where the something part is not defined.

The rest of what you've said is completely true. The only thing I can say about the fetish stuff is, Hiro must of learned that Kubo had a possibly transvestite corpse sexer in his manga and he's trying to step up his weirdo game.

Either everything is a fetish, or nothing is a fetish, but i do agree, i dont see anyone else beating Kubo in the weirdo game the next couple of years..

[LaZodiac]

Uhm... what? It's a good thing I never got into Bleach, I guess?

You have no idea. At the very least Bleach is great because it is hilariously stupid.

Lots of bondage stuff mostly.

[lord_khaine]

Lots of bondage stuff mostly.

Ahh.. but thats just a slightly more obvious fetish, as such the content en general has not changed in any noteworthy degree.

I would not say its like the amouth of the bondage stuff has changed much either, at least not when using the word in regard to a fetish, compared to just for someone tied up.

[Razade]

I'm more confused as to why we're using "Fetish Stuff" as a derogatory term. Nothing wrong with it when handled well, it's just the way Hiro does it that's rather creepy, especially with the continued over-sexing of Charlie and Wendy.

This is true. I think people where just overwhelmed by the whole goat foot licking thing.

[Razade]

This is true. I think people where just overwhelmed by the whole goat foot licking thing.

Yeah, that's one of those "Hiro is creepy" things. If that scene was in a less child-geared manga however I don't think I'd have batted an eyelash. It's just that Fairy Tail is very much set to a younger demographic. Some of it also comes across as rather rape-y but that also goes to Hiro being a creep about it. Like most things in Fairy Tail, if Hiro was a better writer none of it would be that big a problem.

[Sith_Happens]

Ugh. The anime just finished the treasure hunter fight, which means I now know that Fairy Tail does the "Punched through three walls, electrocuted, burned to the fourth degree, and stabbed through the chest all in one day? Walk it off. Bullets? INSTANTLY LETHAL" thing.

Nope one of the villains (now turned tsundere ally to the heroes) is Giselle, a Quincy who may or may not be a trans character (it's unclear, all we know is that Yumechika said she smells like semen) and she's very clearly a necrophiliac.

But did he say who's?

[LaZodiac]

But did he say who's?

No which is why I've been saying Giselle is maybe a transvestite and definitely a necrophiliac. Because the jury's still out on the former (there is evidence that supports each side) but it's VERY clear (from her cuddling a zombie and saying she loves it and thinks it's even cuter dead and that she got wet making that lady into a zombie) that she REALLY loves zombies (we later see said zombie lady drooling and begging for Giselle's "that").
