why Lucy Heartfilia is Mid

With the big difference that she isn't, otherwise you wouldn't have a ton of people supporting her, saying she's the best character and praising the way she's written and developed.

But why don't you try it and see how that post goes? I mean, that would be fun to see how practically no one would support you in that.

[u/[deleted] → u/Traditional-Lion-836]

I should probably post it on r/unpopularopinion then, shouldn't I?

But in all seriousness, fandoms historically have a bad track record for recognizing bad writing, especially when it comes to shipping. Just look at the people who shipped ReyLo back when Rise of Skywalker made its rounds.

Because she literally is, she is better written and has much better development.

Gray has been a joke for years and especially in 100 years quest, so what you say makes no sense at all.

[u/AnimatorMain6396 → u/[deleted]]

Lmao what are you reading? Gray has so much more character development, if you can’t see that idk how to help ya. Gray is learning to open up and move on from his traumas and the 100yq does an amazing job of that. You don’t need “badass fights” to show that and quite honestly would be a stupid way of showing it

Yes, I have read the story and I see how most people have had gray as a meme for quite some time now.

Juvia

Gray's simp mature? bro literally Juvia in avatar was depressed without Gray for 6 months without doing anything and if it was not for Lucy and Natsu she wouldn't do anything for herself.

Are you trolling?

Am I supposed to take anything you say seriously when you just made an example of Juvia? really?

On the other hand Lucy is just still Lucy, she hasn’t grown/matured nearly as much from the start of the series

Of course, the best developed and written character has not matured or grown.

The character with the best power development

The character with dreams and goals: improve as a writer, improve as a magician, improve as a person, finding the key to Aquarius.

Do you even remember that lucy won an award for her book? sorry bro, but are you trolling? Lucy has more growth and development than all those characters combined.

I ask again, are you super trolling? especially mentioning juvia lmao

[u/AnimatorMain6396 → u/[deleted]]

And if you can't see that Juvia is just a simp who remains a simp with zero evolution in her magic and who depends on Gray 100% without any significant progress.

then you don't understand and know good characters, much less development.

bro, gray has gone through arcs where he literally does nothing. The best example is the previous arc where Lucy defeated Sai, Kotetsu and Gennai alone and was the only one who was considered dangerous to the point of wanting to seal her magic. Meanwhile what was gray doing? nothing, observe and make a single attack that was blocked. and that's how it has been in most of the sequel, not to mention alvarez where gray was thinking of killing natsu just because invel said two words to him wtf, one of the dumbest things done by gray.

Sorry but no, the moment you try to include juvia you lose all credibility.

[u/AnimatorMain6396 → u/[deleted]]

It depends on the character and can be considered for its development. But do you know what is important for a character? be participatory in the story, have goals and grow. something that first Juvia doesn't have at all, and it's a joke that you think she does.

Second, gray is sidelined to the point that people wonder why mashima continues with his character. Sorry, but the importance in the story, participation and being an active character are important. That's something you don't seem to understand when defining a good written character.

[u/AnimatorMain6396 → u/[deleted]]

So by your logic the character with the most screen/story time is always the best written character which is extremely faulty logic

I never said that, if you read properly you would understand.

Having more action does not equate better writing lmao! And the thing that MASHIMA emphasizes the most in his characters is the growth, which both of them see much much much more of than Lucy.

Lucy is better written and developed than Gray and Juvia together and the competition is not even close to being fair.

[u/AnimatorMain6396 → u/[deleted]]

It's not like this conversation made sense at the time you mentioned Juvia, that's where it all really ended and nothing you mention will make sense.

[u/AnimatorMain6396 → u/[deleted]]

Please don't mention Juvia in serious conversations next time.
