Brotherhood got rid of Lust way too early though.

Lust is literally the only character in 03 handled better then in the manga/brotherhood

 

[Schadenfreude]

Time for explanations, bitches.

 

[Seda]

Brotherhood got rid of Lust way too early though.

Eh, I think it would be worse if all the homunculi were knocked out one by one in the final arc.

 

[foxuzamaki]

man, you got bass started

 

[MikeMyers]

Lust is literally the only character in 03 handled better then in the manga/brotherhood

And also my favourite one. That works out!

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Also Scar went out like a bitch in FMA 03, way better arc in the manga/brotherhood

I disagree. I felt him being a "good guy" in Brotherhood was unearned. Scar in FMA 03 grew more naturally as a character and went out in a last act of redemption.

 

[Schadenfreude]

A simple houswife gonna kick some ass.

 

[Levyne]

Oh yeah greed is there

 

[foxuzamaki]

Eh, I think it would be worse if all the homunculi were knocked out one by one in the final arc.

ehhh, theres nothing really wrong with that storywise, at worse it would be "cliche"

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Looks like the limiter on the alchemists is off.

Scar was only a villain of circumstance, in both versions for the first half of the story, once the truth of everything comes out Scar naturally begins to join the side opposing Father and his goals. Scar discovering the truth in 03 and going "ehh fuck it Imma just do what they want me to do" is just dumb and illogical

 

[Man God]

huh, what was that?

 

[Schadenfreude]

And then God shot up into the sky like a glorious, muscular rocket.

 

[Levyne]

ehhh, theres nothing really wrong with that storywise, at worse it would be "cliche"

I'm with Seda, it would be pretty lame and manufactured. It would be too nice and neat to simply knock them off one by one because the story demands it because there's x episodes left.

Scar is Sasuke?

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Father acting like he's Griffith.


Where's Guts when you need him?

 

[foxuzamaki]

I love that izumi's husband isnt perfect in body shape.

 

[Man God]

get it, hawkeye?

 

[BassForever]

All parties head to the final battle

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Greed don't curr

 

[grandjedi6]

oh shit. It's time for favorite scene #23

 

[Seda]

oh shit. It's time for favorite scene #23

basically

 

[Schadenfreude]

Preaching to Ed about the virtues of honoring your father is kinda hilarious. Not really the guy for it.

Scar is a murderer in both versions, but only in 03 does he pay his dues. I felt that was important thematically. In Brotherhood he becomes a hero and never goes to jail or gets punished for murdering alchemists and Nina.

 

[BassForever]

More tentacle violation

 

[foxuzamaki]

It all depends on how its done, in most cases it would be happening at the same time

 

[GaimeGuy]

You signed your own death, Pride

 

[Levyne]

I think we need a crazy murderous ex state alchemist to sort this out.

 

[grandjedi6]

More creepy tentacle time

 

[Seda]

Pride is legit shook

 

[lazybones18]

ohai Kimblee

 

[TheOGB]

Suddenly, the creep controls the tentacles

God I love this scene

 

[Schadenfreude]

Tempest of souls? Kimblee don't give a fuck.

 

[thetechkid]

Oh you silly Kimblee.

He saved Nina from a life of being a horrible monster and killed her father who did the horrible thing to her, the rest of the alchemist he killed in canon were equally as corrupt and evil as we find out by the end. Had he not done what he had those same alchemist would have ended up joining Father and Fuher against the good guys.

 

[Man God]

He's hulking out, brother!

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Fucking Kimblee da god

 

[GaimeGuy]

RIP Kimblee, you magnificent bastard. <3

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

In the face.......Ed is the fucking boss

 

[Schadenfreude]

Motherfucking Edward Elric. There is no one more boss than that crazy bastard.

 

[Crayolan]

Well this is unexpected.

 

[Levyne]

Creepy micro babyfetus

 

[foxuzamaki]

I love this ending theme

 

[grandjedi6]

It's still crazy how that Kimblee waving goodbye scene was in the 4th opening, before it even happened in the manga.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

He's so tiny

 

[BassForever]

We're so close to the end

 

[lazybones18]

And Black Star just got knocked down a bunch of pegs

 

[ThatObviousUser]

When do we find this out?

He also tried to kill Ed. He was trying to kill all state alchemists, so even if by some coincidence he did "only" kill the "bad" ones, that wasn't his intent. And aside from that, I don't feel like murder would be justified in that situation anyways.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Ed just skull crushed the brat into a mini-baby
