At the same time, the new live action was kind of bad.
#I was so disappointed./#I told myself that if I could get myself through this week; i could watch it#at one point i was sitting there like 'oh hey i recall this scene. remember when it was written to depict roy's quest against the homunculi#as a sort of sliding scale of roy's need for justice vs his thirst for revenge? remember when the narrative was able to carry it#successfully because it had more than five characters to work with? remember who got fucking stabbed through the spine to drive that arc#forward? BECAUSE I FUCKING DO.'#there was some thing with ed and shou trying to compare their willingness to make sacrifices to get the job done but it honestly got lost#under a. ed not making any actual sacrifices on screen in this version until the very end (and it lacked the impact because ed did something#wildly different in the manga and the story justified it) and b. the absolute dogpile of villains that we got near the end.#ngl i would have been wildly impressed with shou being our one bad guy; once again; because it felt like the story was going to contrast his#choices in sacrifices with ed's choice in sacrifices; not only that; but he also didn't really give us a reason as to why he was doing it#other than 'For Science!' (to me; a bad guy not willing to reveal their motive is a little freaky tbh; but in a way that works). maybe the#writers could have gone with that; made some shadowy reference to the homunculi pulling the strings; and then ended; but it had to be#shou showing up and then the homunculi and then...general hakuro from the train arc for whatever fucking reason.#and then i guess that gluttony pissed off to the middle of nowhere. i guess its just him and the gaping unholy hellmouth in the middle of#his stomach all alone in the world (and such a shame that we didn't get to see more of that in here tbh. ;-;)#at the end of the fucking day; however; i did get fetus envy; and no one human being on the fucking planet can take that from me.#fma spoilers/#headlife
