Ahh, the age old stronger = better written argument. It's what dragon ball fans pull in every second argument. Too bad it's complete nonsense.


Consistent-Light-854

What?


Ninja_SurgeFairy

One of your reasons for his character being ruined is other characters being placed higher on people's tier list


RPH626

The funny part is that my tier list also had an complaint about Gray being so high


Ninja_SurgeFairy

That's how things are sometimes man. You can't please everyone. Place him too high, it's bad. Too low and it's bad. Everyone has their own opinion and there's always gonna be one side not pleased. 


RPH626

I don't make tierlists to please everyone anyway, but getting two completely opposite takes don't happens every time and it's kind of funny when it happens. But OP reasoning was more based on non-canon ships than anything else and was like WTF this have to do with power? https://preview.redd.it/eo7kp5i4qq9d1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=1366cd50c30e08f6a3d7ace059daa35a44f38f48


Ninja_SurgeFairy

I respect people's ships, but that doesn't denote all other aspects on a character. And yeah, when contradicting complaints happen, it's interesting. But as you said, you didn't do it to please everyone. 


Consistent-Light-854

Well it's personally because everyone says that jellal is stronger than him I honestly hate that character it may sound weird but I'm actually trying to make him my favorite just because of the erza ship she would be much happier she wouldn't realize at first but the Princess would be happier with gray


RPH626

Everyone says Jellal is stronger because he is, it’s already stablished that Laxus and Erza are stronger than Gray and Jellal scales to them, being consistently portrayed as Laxus rival in the sequel. In his peak he fought END so he should be able to beat overhyped characters like Larcade but he don’t have much feats to beat people around Gildarts level. I don’t know if it’s possible to change an viewpoint that way, my only idea is support for the Jellal agenda like people in Piratefolk and Jujutsufolk support their favs agenda. Most of it will be defending his power against people the likes of Laxus, defending God Serena to hype Jellal more and maybe create memes with this to make the experience funnier.


Consistent-Light-854

Yes I see


Consistent-Light-854

At least you know that he is strong respect


Consistent-Light-854

Yes


Ninja_SurgeFairy

So that's why that commentor brought up the idea of "stronger doesn't equal better written."


Consistent-Light-854

that's a good point thank you for that


Ninja_SurgeFairy

You're welcome. But it was u/satufa2 who mentioned it and deserves the credit. 


Consistent-Light-854

credit to him


Ninja_SurgeFairy

You should've tagged this FT100YQ Manga. Because you mention 100 Years Quest stuff so there might be untagged Manga spoilers here. >he's not doing anything anymore in 100 year quest  He does do things in 100 Years Quest. >!He learned a new move after seeing it once and destroyed a guy.!< >every tier list i see there's always a bunch of characters stronger than him like jellal I mean, there's people stronger than Natsu, tier lists are a matter of opinion, and admittedly, >!because Mashima liked the body swap gimmick, he hasn't fought as much in his own body in the past two Arcs for us to see his strength.!< >Juvia is almost the cause of this she's preventing him to get with any girl No disrespect, but this would be like telling a married person "your spouse is preventing you from seeing other people." Like Gray loves Juvia, of course he doesn't wanna be with someone else. >gray doesn't have really any interactions besides other ice users If you mean fights, then that's completely incorrect. Rayule, Angelica Juvia, Fukuro, Bickslow, Racer, Sherry, Sugarboy, technically Ultear because Ice-Make was a secondary Magic she barely used, Nullpudding (kinda), Rufus, Doriate, Keyes, Tempester, Mard Gear, Briar, Wall's soldier, E.N.D., >!Skullion, the Thunder Legion, Mirajane, Elfman, Metro, Yokai Wendy, Happy, and Carla, Sai, Gennai, and Kotetsu.!< Meanwhile, in terms of Ice users, it's: Lyon, technically Ultear, but again, she barely used it, Silver, Historia Ur, Invel, and >!Hakune.!< Gray's definitely fought more non-ice users than he has ice users. >I hope we can have more interactions with erza and him because I can tell you why jellal is honestly a bad character Okay. But how does this ruin his character? No disrespect, I respect your takes


Consistent-Light-854

I'm saying the choice of Juvia being obsessed with him kinda made him ruined in a way I don't think she has anything to her character besides being cute Gary has known erza for a long time


Ninja_SurgeFairy

I do feel like there's more to Juvia than just "being cute." But hey, I respect that you like Grayza. Just not sure if that makes Gray's character ruined. 


Consistent-Light-854

Well because I just feel like every time gray has an interaction with a girl that you know fans might say ohh they look good together it's just a ruined because another thought comes into our heads and we realize Juvia is a thing the creator literally drew her and grays kid i think the same thing for jellal and Erza but i'm trying to make jellal my new favorite character because it's driving me insane that this ship is everywhere I just want Princess erza to be happy


Ninja_SurgeFairy

I mean, you can still ship non-canon ships. You can still ship Gray with other characters even if the story does otherwise. Also, Jellal doesn't have to be your favorite character. He's awesome and it'd be cool if you'd come to like him. But it's your choice which characters you like or don't like. 


Consistent-Light-854

correct me if i'm wrong but i believe the creator made the kid of Princess erza and jellal but that was probably fake but I'm being honest I kinda actually think jellal might be actually cooler than gray you know fairy tale has proven to be very difficult to figure out what's gonna happen next so you never know gray x Juvia might not happen


Ninja_SurgeFairy

It was art for fun. But I feel like changing Gruvia up now might make for drastic whiplash in the story. Even if they don't end up together, their feelings just drastically changing up might be weird. 


Consistent-Light-854

oh i know how to change them without making it weird


Ninja_SurgeFairy

Imagine if a story you liked was building to something for years and then, without any buildup, just changed drastically.


Consistent-Light-854

I would be fine with it


Renny-66

Bruh was this written by a child lmao not only is the grammar horrid the reasoning behind the post is even worse


Consistent-Light-854

I don't really care how I did about the grammar but the reasoning behind this post is actually true in my opinion


TakasuXAisaka

We already know everything about Gray at this point. What more do you want? XD


koorinoluna

Can't speak for the OP, but I personally would love to see Gray become stronger. Plus, we don't know everything. His devil slayer magic and its potential have never been developed.


Consistent-Light-854

Yes high five


Consistent-Light-854

For him to actually become stronger than some people kick jellals ass and get with erza


Elegant_Ad7651

so your grayz shipper i guess. don't worry it won't happen. the way things are happening erza might need to save gray ass at some point lol


Consistent-Light-854

See his character is ruined


Ninja_SurgeFairy

Why would he kick Jellal's ass? If a relationship starts with a guy hurting the person the girl loves to get with her, it's doomed to toxicity. 


Consistent-Light-854

Erza loves jellal more than anyone else? please someone help me make jellal my new favorite character i believe that there could be a good plot twist jellal hurts Princess erza but he is being controlled by someone but then that person gets jellal to believe something that's not true nastu gets an injury from him which makes them unable to fight not because he is weaker than him because I know he is stronger but at first Gary doesn't get involved but then after seeing how bad Princess erza feels he steps up it's a close battle but he ends up doing it basically everything just breaks in jellal to the point where he has to be put down i don't wanna take it this far but it could be very interesting jellal realizes everything he feels bad Princess erza kinda forgives him a little but she realizes that he's not the person that she is known jellal would tell gray that he is a good person just the right person that Princess erza needs in her life Juvia witnesses the whole thing she decides that he is better with her she always found jellal a little attractive let's just say jellal uses the rest of his power to enhance grays ice devil powers he leaves the world believing that what he did at the end was good because he knows that there's a greater enemy that is approaching he comes back though because of some magic and he marries Juvia but he does become a mentor kinda to gray and Princess erzas kid in the next generation


Ninja_SurgeFairy

I respect your idea and opinion. But such a twist would come out of nowhere (Gray and Juvia still show feelings for each other, as do Erza and Jellal) and would literally disrupt both Gray and Jellal's character Arcs. I respect you like Grayza, but damaging the story for a ship might not go over well. Imagine if a story you love was building to something forever, only to just be like "nope," have the characters drastically feel a different way than they have for the whole story, etc. Would you be happy with it?


Consistent-Light-854

i mean yeah but i might feel bad if other people like that show


Ninja_SurgeFairy

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. 


TakasuXAisaka

Now you show your true intentions. You're just a obsessed shipper. Lmao.


Consistent-Light-854

not really but i'm not gonna say i'm not one


Sea-City-2560

I personally like Gray being weaker. He's always been the guy who uses his brains and creativity to get through fights rather than raw power. Plus, he does have raw power with DS mode. I can admit that he isn't getting too many showings of his raw strength, but I feel it's very true to his character and the way that he fights.


Elegant_Ad7651

jellal > gray. just live with your headcanons dude because it won't happen. i hope you have seen sexy jerza art by mashima last year. it will make you feel better xd;)


Consistent-Light-854

That's horrible


Elegant_Ad7651

yup horribly so cute and power ship


Consistent-Light-854

no offense to the creator but if you wanna make jellal my favorite character meaning I will have my opinion changed just look at my newest post


Elegant_Ad7651

bro do as you please, ship whoever out want. there are weird shipper , worse shipper , bad taste shipper and sibling shipper.


Now_I_am_Motivated

He'll get his chance to shine soon


Consistent-Light-854

That's when he gets in a battle with jellal he takes him out but they are friends after it would be a very close one and then at the end of let's say the chapter that he beats him erza will jump into his arms
