I still love things like yuyu hakusho but FMA gets worse and worse everytime I think or watch a clip of it

That wasn't a "you'll be just like him" moment you brainlet. Roy was discouraged to murder him because he needed to think about being the future ruler of the country and differentiate himself from Wrath so that people would accept his revolution.

What exactly do they mean by you'll become like him. Are they trying to say Mustang will become a psychotic killer who takes innocent loves?
Because he's already done that.

it's because a woman wrote it

that's a pretty fucking dumb argument, I'm pretty sure Mustang would just kill Envy and be done with it, there was nothing at stake there

Revenge blinds and that's exactly how he ended up.

I would like to see a series where the hero/good guy actually starts following some morally questionable path because he ended up killing the villain instead of sparing him. I feel like a lot of media uses this trope ("you'll be just as bad as him"), but never show us the consequences of such actions, so the audience just ends up questioning why the good guy didn't just kill them. (though here's a hint: the protagonists are generally supposed to be portrayed as morally superior than the villains)

Literally Negi in UQ! Holder.

shingeki

Just rewatched both series and yeah this scene is a massive fucking shitshow

Not to mention he did literally the same thing to Lust earlier so what’s the fucking point

I thought Eren gave up the revenge thing back in the cave scene. Also it wasn't necessarily the revenge thing that lead him to taking a daker
path.

We all are.

He didn't kill Winry's parents in this series.
You're thinking of the better one.

>Man this series is aging like milk
Because people weren't mad at this scene for the exact same reason a decade ago right?

That scene was dumb and was always considered dumb, you might realized it just yet, but liking a series doesn't mean pretending that it's flawless. They were trying to point the difference between justice and revenge, but it didn't make much sense for the reasons already explained.

His goal isn't revenge right now, his goal is "the cycle of hatred will never stop until one side is obliterated so we might as well make sure that it's the other one". Understandable mindset for a child soldier, not so much for grown ups in First World countries.

What's there to get? Everyone says it's straightforward but it's retarded because of that.

The point of the scene isn't to establish Mustang, it's to establish Envy.

The idea is to demonstrate that they value Envy's life above his own, even if the only value they place on it is that it's unnecessary to kill him.

That's why he kills himself; In the end, he isn't worth killing, and that's the only opportunity he would have again to say otherwise.

I dont think it is a cringe scene, Its one of the most memorable scenes from fmab for me honestly.
I always thought that it was cool how Envy seems to hate himself at the end of the day because of how consumed by the sin of envy he was, his ability to change himself to look like other people fits this idea of "wanting to be like others" which makes sense considering his sin.
Coming to terms with the fact that you are about to die, killed by the humans you despise because you cant be like them, is pretty sad.
Envy is never forgiven and thats fair, he doesnt deserve it, but he did live a forced, cursed existence so I can have some empathy for him.
Also, Mustang had his share of revenge, he bruned Envy alive 10000 times and made him suffer a lot, he basically dealt the killing blow, Envy would have most likely died even if he didnt decide to kill himself but the scene had to go on longer so we could peer inside Envy's perspective and have the scene where he offs himself.

Well, I was actually making a jab at what Roy did in Ishval...

I'm agnostic but that religion episode was pretty cringy.

They didn't want him to be consumed, dumbass. Hawkeye even volunteered to finish off and he obsessively threatened ever her for getting in the way.

Envy then kills himself in humiliation and dies crying like a bitch.

Are you talking about that one at the start of the series where Ed and Al exposes a false prophet?

Great another thread about that scene where OP doesn't understand it.It's been a decade how are people still getting tripped up by this?

i thought it was because letting the future fuhrer become a little bitch who can't keep his temper in check was a recipe for disaster

>implying those brown skins were anything but innocent

I mean I'm just going by the way the series portrayed them so

>That scene was dumb and was always considered dumb
