9/20/2023 0 Comments Metal alchemist 2003 lustI think the best way it works is if Ed is just having that bad of a reaction from Envy suddenly looking like a human to remind Ed that they were all made from humans and fundamentally just are weird humans (but it's still so fakeable given it's the shapeshifting one doing it), or if the show had done better at establishing Hoenheim's phenotype was extremely unusual in the context of FMA due to most of them getting turned into philosopher stone slurry, so Ed could just go "oh fuck, the only other people who look like that are my dad, my brother, and my reflection". I just don't think it's true that every female character is subjected to nothing but trauma with no hope of salvation, but also, fma 03 is just as relentless towards its male characters? Where exsctly are the male characters not touched by pain and suffering in this series - Fuery? Havoc? it's just a bizarre take all aroundĪ picture Ed saw is a picture Envy could also have seen (and seen him seeing, given just how much Ed was being stalked which he's figured out somewhat by this point), so while it'd at least be clearer to the viewer what just happened, it creates the problem that Ed is now reacting like this to something even more likely to be faked to just mess with him. Nina is perhaps the closest to just flat out fridging but that came from the manga. Winry, sheska, riza, Noa all get happy endings. Lust and Sloth come to tragic ends, but so do the male Homunculi, and Lust dies in the process of fighting to reclaim her autonomy, not as a helpless victim. Izumi dying off-screen is not great but that's more emblematic of COS production problems than misogyny. Rose stands out as pushing the envelope a bit and fair enough, but even then she moves forward and survives and gets a happy ending. While searching for fma 03 posts on Twitter I saw someone claim fma 03s female characters are worse than fmabs bc it puts them thru so much pain and trauma w no recovery but like, that's just not true?
