I loved Envy

Wait... people I love can die !?
BlasserDuennerJunge
So you needed to watch an Anime to know, that people you love won't become immortal?
Namotatop
Super edgy, but since fullmetal alchemist is the best it's okay.

How are you going to talk about crying in Full Metal and not use "it's a terrible day for rain?"

good and evil are not subjective - just your interpretation of them is left to bias.

ThatUserNameHasAlreadyBeenChosenAndIsNoLongerAvailableWHY
"good people do bad things" no they don't actually. doing "bad things" is what makes you bad. you can't do bad things and claim to be good.
ThatUserNameHasAlreadyBeenChosenAndIsNoLongerAvailableWHY
at least if you're not a politican
Traja01
I think the point is that doing a bad thing doesn't make you, as a person, "bad." Life isn't so black and white.
ArniePye
What if I shot hitler. Murder is bad but hitler is hitler so id be a fabled good guy with a gun. Then mega hitler cometh. What then ?
ThatUserNameHasAlreadyBeenChosenAndIsNoLongerAvailableWHY
killing anyone for any reason is never good. it may some kind of "lesser evil", but its still evil, imo. even if it was hitler, mao, or khan
ArniePye
Ah okay well that’s your moral code, mines different. Fair enough.

Envy's death in Brotherhood is just plain evil... Don't make me feel compassion for the baddies!
Kodaxmax
I mean it was pretty predictable, clue is literally his name.
BYERE
Yea, I know, but every time I watch that scene, I tear up...
BayazTheBenevolent
It gave some great insight into the Homunculi though. Envy (and to some extent Wrath) showed that even Homunculi feel much like humans do.
ZazzRazzamatazz
Man, I even felt bad for Father at the end, when he dies... "What was I supposed to do? Tell me!?!"

Sykopomp
The whole point was that Scar was bad. Evil wasn’t subjective. He learned what he was doing was wrong. And stopped. And helped the goodies.
Traja01
Eh......not in the original.
Sykopomp
Original is kinda trash by comparison.
Traja01
I preferred it, but only slightly. Both were great in different ways. Dante was a lame villain, but Scar and homunculi were better in FMA.
meheezen
I feel bad for his brother tho.
KingKoschei
Good and evil aren't subjective, your perception of them are...
svoka
good and evil are artificial constructs made to excuse selfish actions.
svoka
which implies that they are subjective. What is good for me, may be evil for you.
Kodaxmax
That's a redundant statement, as that implies there is a universal law separating good from evil. Which their isn't.
spectheintro
Read The Last Word. Moral relativism is philosophically bankrupt.
Kodaxmax
I don't think bankrupt is the right term, discussing right and wrong and imposing them as rules. seems like a waste of time. As people who
Kodaxmax
don't agree, wont follow those rules anyway, hence criminals.
ChineseJesus
Envys death fucked me up more than it should have.
Traja01
Lust's death in the other anime got me real hard.
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
Tried watching the netflix film, last about 15 minutes. What garbage
oforfs
Just glanced a trailer in bg, seen Japanese actors at their worst and that done it for me. Does not change the brilliance of anime though.
grklein
The live-action movie is a pile of shit; if you haven't watched the anime (any of the versions), don't let it stop you.
meheezen
For a live action adaptation, i found it decent. The cast was quite good.

Brael
This show does not teach good and evil as being subjective. Fusing your 8 year old daughter with her dog is pretty fucking evil.
blcollier
Read the captions above the image.
Kodaxmax
But i think that lesson refers more to ed and als attempted Resurrection, scars beliefs, the humunculi and of course father, god and hoenhei
Z0op
The titles are above the images, so that one is about scar, not nina (confused me too)
Kodaxmax
His other option was to watch her slowly starve to death on the streets. evil is objectivly subjective. no one gets up in the morning and
Kodaxmax
decides to be evil. Hitler probably thought hes as much a hero as Churchill did.
ninjaguineapig
I think good and evil being subjective refers to Scar
IAmJacksRagingBileDuct
Except Scar's actions weren't really subjective. He started out on his path by murdering doctors who were trying to help him and his people.
BayazTheBenevolent
Dedicating oneself to revenge often blurs the lines of good and evil.
LordFenris
He's bad for murdering a fuck load of people but the majority of them were super shitty anyways.
Czarsalade
Now , anyone wants to talk about that netflix movie? I still didn't recover from it...
Saric92
It was a good movie in its own right. Maybe not so much to follow the main story of FMA, but as a standalone it was good IMO
Juantaconeverenuff
Was it as bad as Netflix’s movie of Death Note?? I was looking forward to seeing how Homunculus would be depicted... Like Sloth and Wrath
JHawke
I kinda liked deathnote. There, I said it.
MetaSomma
+1 for having the balls to admit that
Anorra
Yeah, I honestly think their Death Note was better, and that was awful. Once I got to Gluttony and Lust, I turned it off.
MetaSomma
Honestly they were one of the less-bad parts, relatively speaking
Z0op
Ive got it on my to-watch list for a while, i think its gonna stay there for a long time.
SlotegeAllDay
I got 10 minutes into it and had to turn it off. It wasn't even the type of bad movie I could laugh at while drinking. It was just...sad...
ialwaysexpectthespanishinqusition
KingKoschei
Good or bad?(terrible?)
Kodaxmax
The cgi and effects are hit and miss, some are impressive and fun to watch and then some are just bad lightning arcs.

With a j pop Star as Ed
Kodaxmax
Like most it condenses like 30 hours of plot into an hour and so theirs huge gaps in the story making everything else non-nonsensical.
paul289
As someone who has not watched the anime, imagine IRL people trying to act with the same mannerisms as anime characters.

But with only 70% of the enthusiasm.

Just finished rewatching Brotherhood earlier today, love me some FMA
Lorithias
Brotherhood is based on the "real manga" isn't it ? I only watched this one because of this I hate so hard filler in other anime .. :s
blcollier
Ditto, finished it again last night. Forgot how fucking amazing it is.
SudoCatEtcIssue
I didn't know what FMA is and my first guess was "fuck my ass". P.S. I'm not even sorry.
BayazTheBenevolent
In this case would equivalent exchange mean giving each other a reach-around?
ZazzRazzamatazz
I just finished the first re-watch in years just a day or two ago... Brotherhood is one of the best TV series ever!
MrListerTheSisterFisterAndListersSisterTheFisterResistor
So what order would i have to watch fma. Is there even an order
Humaniak123
Seen both, imo brotherhood is probably a 10 while original is like a 9. Its that close but they honestly are both quite different. See both
Lostvayne
Bro, same. I finished re-watching it yesterday though. The timing between me watching something and the related posts freaks me out.
hotstuffburns
Haha I’m about to finish it myself. Crazy.
TravisTee34
Same here... though I skip ep. 4...
TuboThePanda
I don't remember ep4 what's bad about it?
Ballamoney
Ed...ward
TuboThePanda
Ah fuck
Lostvayne
We don't talk about episode 4.
extralargehobo
Go back. You cannot escape equivalent exchange.
Kodaxmax
You can watch the original if your craving more, IMO its slightly worse than brotherhood, but still amazing.
Copenhagenman
Saw the old one first. Felt Brotherhood rushed some parts, but in the end it was better. The Chimera-twist was most heartbreaking first time
Kodaxmax
I agree, bortherhood also had better animation and action scenes IMO, but not by much.
Lostvayne
I feel like everyone has to watch FMA at some point because Brotherhood feels like it assumes you did since they skip Liore and stuff.
Kodaxmax
honestly they both tell fairly different stories past the first 3rd or so. IMO they both did a good job of remaining self contained stories.
StonecutterNumberOne
Is it better to start watching the original or Brotherhood first?
BayazTheBenevolent
Definitely Brotherhood. It has a much broader scope, better worldbuilding AND soundtrack! God the soundtrack is amazing.
0x779
I would say FMA first - it's a lot more darker and takes the story in a very interesting place, then you can switch to FMAB.
Traja01
The homunculi were a lot more well developed and nuanced in FMA than Brotherhood. Especially Lust.
Cassian
I like the first anime better than Brotherhood. I feel both Brotherhood and the manga lose steam by the end.
Bob423
Original first, then Brotherhood. If you don't like the original for whatever reason, stop about halfway and switch to Brotherhood.
Denvercoder09
Brotherhood
Traja01
Having seen both, the original is more nuanced. Both emphasize different characters and the plots diverge hardcore about halfway through.
Traja01
Brotherhood is more indulgent anime. The original doesn't have quite the same level of righteous anger that brotherhood has.
BombBloke
Brotherhood expects that you've watched the original, and so speeds through a lot of events before the point where the two stories diverge.
Kodaxmax
Imo they both have positives and negatives. watch brotherhood second it has better animation writing (slightly). The original has less panda
ChineseJesus
Brotherhood. Brotherhood. Brotherhood
Madfox40
Brotherhood. The original divert from the author writing
JHawke
Divert or not, I liked the original more. No pandachick, less chibi stuff.
DemonsPain88
Watch the original then watch Brotherhood. First let's you really get to know some characters. Fmab seems to gloss over that a bit
Z0op
Only watch the original if you are really curious about, if not, fma:b is the better alternative, its beginning is a bit fast paced, >
grklein
The original is different from the manga, but still very good, definitely worth watching.
Z0op
original covers the beginning a bit slower and also covers minor backgroundstories (like yoki)
Z0op
Original also has a movie to conclude the series, and its absolutely utter shit

purgethefilthyheretics
Yeah but life would teach you all this as well. Maybe people should take life lessons from cartoons and anime to begin with?
purgethefilthyheretics
Shouldn't* damn it
WildeKerrade
Why? Its a medium to convey a message. The fact its drawn shouldn't diminish its value. 1/2
WildeKerrade
Rather learn life lessons from this "cartoon" than quite a few of the worlds current political figures. RL doesn't mean better lessons.
purgethefilthyheretics
No Its a medium of entertainern and stories not life lessons, which can never teach better than experience itself was my point.
WildeKerrade
True experience is very much the best teacher. But would rather not have certain horrible historical events happen again so people 1/2
purgethefilthyheretics
Wasn't trying to bash anime or cartoons either, if you took it that way I was unclear. Goes for tv series and blockbuster films as well.
Tryskel
Cartoons and anime are parts of life. Likke movies. And books. It's not exclusive
ThrobbinHoodz
Stories often contain other people's lessons
TalkingSnake
Sloth, Envy and Gluttony are not friends.
Traja01
Gluttony and Sloth were closer in FMA it seemed like.
PeccableTiming
But they're sooorta family
BayazTheBenevolent
More like non-identical clones of the same source being. Or like plant saplings.
KerkylasOfAndros
So, like twins?
Kodaxmax
i don't think thats even a concept any of them but greed understands. They are embodiment of their respective emotions after all.
sircowdog
Lust is a friend with benefits though, right? XD
SilverLullabies
You could make a loose, half hearted argument about Gluttony being Al’s friend
TalkingSnake
They did have that little trip together.
cowpiefatty
They are eachothers friends? And I mean sloth hasn't really done much bad besides digging the tunnel imo.
PrinceSamaSanChanKun
How slothful- oh wait
Anamethatwasntused
Being sloth, he's not likely to do anything without being coerced.
KanyeWesticularCancer
I mean they kinda are but keep in mind they’re created from the same being so technically they’re just iterations of Father.

ShouTuckersGhost
I honestly don't think most of the sins cared about each other at all. Gluttony cared about Lust, but I think that's about it
TalkingSnake
I just noticed your name.
JauneHabanero
The only ghost in the manga to go to hell
PiiCii
Gluttony and lust goes hand in hand though. I mean, I want to eat ass all day long.
ShouTuckersGhost
Jokes aside, I always figured they were friends because they're both carnal sins. The only two sins that are about satisfying the body
TheDeanofLean
Does sloth not satisfy the body?
AnotherFilthyLurker
That's is the best reasoning I've heard so far and I fully agree... Damn this show was well written.
Ferrumkit
I mean, Greed is pretty carnal in wanting to satisfy all desires.
