The is the biggest failure of a reply that I've ever seen, even worst then the one you had before, this will be my last reply on the matter because you waisted enough of my time already.
Mirajane is smart because she can't take care of all the paperwork if she has low intelligence like Natsu. Gildarts is clever in his own way. The scene you mentioned about Gildarts walking through the wall was when he was confused. He had been away so long and even fought Acnologia which may have caused him trauma or stress. Especially after half of his body was torn off. Anyways, I never said Gildarts was smart but he isn't portrayed as a character with low intelligence either, so he is average.
You said that academic intelligence means nothing, yet you contradict yourself by saying that Mirajane needs to be smart to take care of all the paperwork, keep digging yourself into that hole. You are now making excuses about trauma and stress to save face for Gildarts, if it was never stated, then it isn't factual, you can't just go of portrayal genius, you need facts and for the third time you've failed to bring any proof of Gildarts doing anything clever and most certainly nothing on the scale or intricacy of the fighting festival and nothing on the level of Laxus vs Wahl.
Levy being an S-Class candidate means nothing. Like I said, Makarov ran out of choices. What S-Class cannot defeat a dog + chicken fodder? I'm talking about Yomazu and Kawazu here.
As I said, her strength lies in her intelligence and not her combat prowess and that Makarov chose her because of her academic intelligence and to some degree her solid script magic. If you want to deny Levy S-Class status, then bring proof of someone saying that Makarov ran out of choices.......... Gajeel didn't get the call up, Lucy didn't and Wendy didn't, Levy got the call ahead of them, hmm I wonder why? They're all better fighters than Levy, why didn't they get called up? Keep digging yourself into that hole buddy.
Actually, we did see the outcome of it indirectly.
Jellal proved it. It was even explained in the manga.
She never went through with it and you have no proof that it would have worked, indirectly implied doesn't work, she thought that Jellal "
maybe, just maybe did it" where is the proof that he
did. Logic would suppory the answer that he didn't....... because you know, Jellal is
alive. His body hasn't been broken down, so no this argument still doesn't work, no facts, just Erza implying things.
That is your opinion. But even so, Erza has way more intelligent feats than Laxus.
She has more feats because she is in the manga more........ she has over double the panel time that Laxus has, it's so simple yet you can't see it, she has more intelligence feats than Levy, does that mean Erza is more intelligent than Levy? You have still failed to bring an Erza feat/plan that is on the scale or intricacy of the fighting festival. Keep digging that hole
Did I say it wasn't a fact? I just said it was an excuse which is true because nothing about Mavis' orders or Freed's words would impact Laxus' and Natsu's intelligence. Laxus succeeding was due to pure luck and PoF. Get real.
This is when I know you've nearly reached rock bottom, when you start saying stuff like "pure luck and PoF". When the hell did I say anything about Mavis or Freed's words impacting Laxus or Natsu' intelligence? What the hell does your first statement even mean? The fact is that Laxus followed Mavis' orders and successfully completed his mission while Natsu didn't listen to anyone and failed miserably. As I stated and proved in nearly all of my posts before, Laxus went south under the first's orders and came up with a plan to heal himself, he commenced with his plan when him and his comrades arrived on the battlefield and it was successful, how the hell is that luck? Whether you want to call red lightning PoF is up to you, the fact is that it was a spell that Laxus could use which is different to other lightning and can affect Wahl and Laxus waited until he was healed to use it and kill Wahl.
It was a brilliant plan and it worked out perfectly, end of story. Keep digging yourself that hole.
Without plot protecting Laxus, he would have failed. I have said this so many times despite the fact that I have manga feats to prove it. But this doesn't even have anything to do with what I said. I said Laxus is not intelligent because he criticized Natsu of something when he did the same thing.
"Without plot protecting Laxus, he would have failed". This is when we all know you've run out of idea's, your now blaming the plot for Laxus' intelligence, without the plot that is supposedly protecting Laxus, Laxus wouldn't even have gone South in the first place, he went South and fought Wahl
because of the plot, that's what the plot
made him do, the plot
made Wahl have an immunity to lightning, the plot
made Laxus
still have those magical barrier particles in his body even after he was supposedly healed just to nerf him, that's what the plot did. Worst excuse from you so far. You said that Laxus "did the same thing"....... again, how on earth is it the same thing? Natsu went straight to Zeref, Invel and 1 million Alvarez soldiers by himself, he received no orders to do so and ultimately failed in his quest. Laxus went South under orders from Mavis, he joined the battle alongside
all of his comrades, Wendy, Gray, Erza and Juvia all entered battle before Laxus as well and Laxus went straight for Wahl to take him out and get himself healed. Doing the exact same thing would have been, Laxus leaving the guild as soon as the Wahl bot blew up, flying over to the south and attacking Wahl. The two situations are incomparable lol. Your desperation is showing. Keep digging that hole, you've almost reached the point of no return.
So 1 feat means Laxus is intelligent? By that logic, every character in the manga is not only considered average, but very smart with high intelligence.
2 manga feats and one that has yet to be matched by anything you have brought forward, which is the fighting festival. The intricacy of Laxus' plan against Wahl and the fact that he devised it from the information he was given is also genius, so it most certainly doesn't put Laxus at the bottom of the S-Class barrel like you keep suggesting.
Keep digging.
I really can't explain it anymore than what I have done. You refuse to understand it. Laxus is being made fun of by his own comrades. If it is one person, then maybe I'll let it slide. The fact is that Laxus is known to be less resourceful with his knowledge and Hiro Mashima goes out of his way to portray it. As for Erza, yes, she was being used for comedy here, but if you were to compare them then the amount of intelligent feats she has far surpasses her illogical ones.
She has far surpassed her illogical ones because she is one of the focal points of the story genius, if I were to nitpick and go into all the details, I would find enough illogical/stupid feats from Erza that would surpass her intelligence feats, but I'm not wasting more of my time on you. How the hell is he being made fun of? Gray said he's the kind of guy who would eat a bear. That literally means he's a big guy, which we all know Laxus is. Carla said that it was a bit weird when he ran off because he made a silly excuse to get away from everyone so that he could hide his illness.
Keep on digging, you've almost reached the bottom.
I know he wasn't hungry, but he could have just told them the truth instead of using such a lame excuse that even Gray could see through. That just makes me question Laxus' intelligence more.
HAHA! Of course it's a lame excuse, his excuse is almost as lame as your attempt to make him seem unintelligent, it was a lame excuse because he wanted to get away quickly, why did he want to get away? Because he didn't want to make his friends worry about him and now your saying he should "have just told them the truth"....... why? Why should he have told them anything, it's his problem, not theirs, why does he have to worry his comrades about
his situation? Gray saw through it because it was a lame excuse and why are you saying "even Gray"? Like Gray's some idiot, Gray is clearly one of the smarter people in this series and he simply read the situation. Biggest fail yet.
Congrats you hit rock bottom. It speaks volumes that about 80% of your posts on this board are all regarding Laxus.

I'm done, I'm not even going to reply to your horrendous posts anymore lol.
