Fullmetal Alchemist

Why didn't they let him kill Envy? What was the porpoise of this scene?

Killing is fine unless you're doing it with hatred in your heart.

Killing in anger is fine unless you are going to be a fuhrer, then you should let your subordinates do that.

but Envy is literally a monster and pure evil

Who are you to decide that? Get over yourself.

rewatching both brotherhood and 2003 has really made me realize how much better 03 was
brotherhood and the manga really fell apart at the end, the homomculi are far less intimidating and the gravitas of opening the gate is basically non-existent
Dante was also a much better villain than father because she had a clear and realistic motivation but father was just vague and downright nonsensical
moreover the philosopher stone was better handled in 03 as an actual nearly mythical object
in brotherhood everyone and their mother got a stone, a real stone

ANGER LEADS TO THE DARK SIDE OF THE FORCE, ANAKIN

if Mustang killed Envy, he would win

2003
>oh, you've never seen mustang fight before? he uses his gloves to make a spark, then uses alchemy to change the oxygen density in the air, boom, bombs on command
brotherhood
>THE ANCIENT SECRETS OF FLAME ALCHEMY ARE BURNED ON MY BACK NO I WON'T EXPLAIN WHAT IT IS IT'S TOTALLY NOT MAGIC THOUGH

?

It's not different in Brotherhood retard

yes it is, it's not a secret in 03 because changing oxygen density is something any non retarded alchemist would be able to do
03 also had way more creativity in its fights

Well were there other alchemists using flame in 03?

no but it's implied to be a stylistic choice in 03 whereas in brotherhood it's outright a secret technique only mustang uses
in 03 since any alchemist CAN use anything flame alchemy sort of loses its luster when you can just get him wet, use something less easily doused like stone
or just do what Ed and Scar did and stop at step 2 to destroy something or someone
also Ed made cannons with his alchemy

Why can't retards into this scene?

>when you can just get him wet
Did you not see him barbecue Lust?He just needs the circle somewhere he can touch it and an ignition source.

that's not canon, lust died helping edward fight the homonculus of his mother

Not this discussion again. Fuck's sake.

How did Mustang pass the state alchemist exam then if it's such a run of the mill skill and why wouldn't they get every alchemist doing it in Ishval?

because it's poorly written shonen trash

who the fuck knows and who cares, it makes absolutely no sense for it to be a secret skill, especially considering kimbly basically does the same thing

>The source material isn't cannon

Minor correction, flame alchemy has always been a thing, the stuff burned into Hawkeye’s back is just the perfect form developed by her dad, who was also his master.

Why people say she is used goods? I thought she kept her virginity for Ray

>"If you kill him, you'll become just like him"

the source material ie the anime was finished long before the non canon manga

No, killing for personal gain is not fine. Mustang explicitly ordered Hawkeye to kill him if he ever strays from his path as they both have seen what "killing in revenge" does to a man. The Elrics always saw Mustang as "scummy, but good-hearted" so they didn't let this side of torturing madman ruin him, when Envy itself was already cornered beyond belief.

>Non canon manga
Dear God I hope this is bait.

cope, the 03 anime was finished before the manga and had better writing than that whore arakawa could ever dream of
her non canon ending means nothing now

Jesus I knew 03 fags were delusional but this is a whole new level.

brotherhood trannies are so sad

The real question is why the fuck he's so hot
