Having potential but being reduced to fan service fodder and laughs while her magic is basically cheap jokes surrounding the same spirits and their quirks over and over? | ||

Natsu is the Hero and Lucy is the Heroine everyone else is just a character of varying importance | ||

I can't remember a single thing Lucy has done that would even remotely qualify her as a heroine in any area except fan service (and even there it's questionable). | ||

She has beaten wizards before without anyones help but her own spirits. Urano Metria is supposed to be a pretty good attack as well and she used it vs Oracion Seis (and later with gemini). Her magic just gets played down because people would rather see Erza's or Grey's magic fight more then hers. Like I said before Hiro has reduced her magic to mostly for laughs, but she does get her moments in the series. | ||

It's like saying Ash Ketchum is a powerful heroic fighter. He's not. Lucy's not. | ||

It's even more evident in the case of Lucy, because Loke can just summon himself to save the day. It's like saying Ash Ketchum is a powerful heroic fighter. He's not. Lucy's not. I didn't imply that she was some epic female heroine, thats not her role in the show. She is however the female lead and as I stated before its a travesty that her magic seems to be the least developed of the bunch. Her magic has a lot of potential but while everyone else in FT gets power ups and uses them consistently, whenever she gets one it gets put on the back burner in favor of Erza and Mirajane fights (who seem to be more popular except in the romance department because who Lucy ends up with is all anyone seems to care about). Its a matter of writing really and its a shame as Hiro is just catering. The females in general in FT always seem to be forced to be constantly reminding the audience that they are female. Mirajane and her focus on family and being cute/gentle/reluctant to fight and even Erza, the BAMF of all females, always seems to fall back on having to be constantly reminded that she has friends (or Jellal calling out to her when she is about to lose a fight like when she was fighting that nature guy). Even Juvia was basically reduced to "I love gray!!" comedy fodder. Lucy is just the extreme extension of that because she is in the lead role. | ||

For about 1 episode when she was a villain, not surprised you don't remember it because it was brief. | ||
