Oh and the Philosopher’s Stone element also was important throughout the 2003 show too. The old show was so tight and focus with the starting elements and premise besides with some stuff dragging it down, needing new characters to fill in despite it making great use of the characters we start with.
Okay, now it’s getting back to me. The plot points linger longer like the dead mother instead of being ‘well that happened’ that it ended up being in brotherhood. Scar is proven more right in his fight against the genocidal state in 2003 I think. Or somehow the 2003 version did the same thing with Scar as brotherhood despite having another massacre that is an echo of the genocide. Been awhile since I watch the 2003 version.
Just gotta not watch the YouTube vid and say no. Also, the best anime is Revolutionary Girl Utena by a long shot for me.
Also hot take, I like the 2003 version better despite being more of a mess. It was a lot more character driven for the brothers, the villains were better thematically, more Gothic, beats the shit out of Ed like the dumb 13 year kid reddit atheist he is with thermodynamics lol.
Quip, 2003 was more about brotherhood than fatherhood(fma: brotherhood), end quip. The broader and general brotherhood theme of the newer version was too saccharine for me honestly.
USA cannot and will not compete with China in terms of fairer deals and more humane investments and loans. But progranda is something the USA excells at.
Not even in an 100 years can China develop a progranda network like the United States. Maybe in 300, in reference to Liu Xiaobo, the most principled(Not CIA backed) of the racist American dog Chinese libs borne from the Deng era promotion of Western thoughts.
Overall, this is outwardly the smartest play the USA can do to compete with China. Just lie, lol.
