me whenever al does anything
His name is Blip because that’s the noise I made while trying to think of a name
Well, okay, this is Blip. He lives in armor he found because the forest scares him.
Hey, uh, not to be dramatic here or anything, but I would totally die for Blip.
Random thoughts on the FMA live-action movie
Things I liked:
- Ed showing off by transmuting a ridiculous giant statue-face-thing while Al facepalms in the background
- The character designs were pretty darn good, especially the Homunculi, Hughes, and Winry
- Tsubasa Honda did a fan-freaking-tastic job as Winry
- Ed using his detached arm as a bludgeon was the most Ed-like thing ever
- Lots of really gorgeous shots and scenery
- “Am I taller than you?” ICONIC
- Made me want to watch FMAB again
- HUGHES
- The way the mannequin soldiers dropped from the ceiling and picked themselves up was so unsettling I got legit chills
- Envy the loser just NOPE-ing out when he knows he’s screwed
- Good CGI, especially the more material alchemy
- The Truth scenes were great
- I really liked the supporting cast
- So many iconic lines from the manga/animes
- Liore/Riole/Reole: nobody can figure out how places are supposed to be spelled, haha
- Nina is the most adorable child and Alexander is a FLUFFY GOOD BOY
Things I didn’t like:
- Nina is the most adorable child and Alexander is a FLUFFY GOOD BOY
- Seriously, it’s like they took all the upsetting parts of the story and put them in line with nothing to soften the blows
- LAB 5 AND NO BARRY THE CHOPPER WHAT IS THIS
- Netflix subtitles didn’t translate “Nii-san” as “Brother” :(
- Hughes never gets to even meet his daughter in this timeline
- A disturbing lack of Greed
- Hawkeye didn’t get to really do anything
- Al didn’t really get to do anything
- Tucker got too much screentime, it was hard not to punch the TV
- How did he even overpower Al, that makes no sense
- Why is Winry even there half the time, she literally has a job and no reason to be in all this danger
- I miss spazzy, energetic Ed
- Ed and Al had so little onscreen time together, barely any relationship building
- Messy plot
- The fight scenes felt really fake, they should have at least given the punches decent sound effects
- Anime and live action just. don’t. mix. well.
When Lucretia is erasing everyones memories the bit when Taako forgets Lup breaks my heart (the way Justin plays that scene is just so good) but there’s something about Davenport forgetting, when Merle says ‘Who are you?‘and he says 'I’m Davenport’ and then the static comes in that make me cry
