Damn, guess it's time for me to rant
'03 was so much better than Brotherhood. The homunculi's origins in '03 are cooler, the reveal of Pride hit so much harder because it happened so much later in the series so you had more time to get to trust them, and I like the story around Sloth and Wrath ('03) so much better than the lack of story around Sloth and Pride (Brotherhood). Having fewer important characters also helped the story feel more concise. The only thing Brotherhood has on '03 is the ending, and even then I don't think it's better, only less weird. '03's ending was a strong decision, and I like my tea strong. Brotherhood's was nicer to watch because it's not bleak and heartbreaking, but that doesn't make it better
I like both for their own interpretations. Brotherhood kept to the story the creator wanted to tell and when 03 caught up to the original story, instead of making insane amounts of filler to wait for more story (looking at you dbz), they took their own direction and it goes wild in all the best ways.
The only thing I don't like about brotherhood is the lack of absolute fucking gutpunch of finding out what happened to create the talking chimera
I obviously don’t agree, but I absolutely love that you feel strongly enough about it to rant a little. I’m sorely tempted to re-watch ‘03 based on the strength of your conviction alone.
That ending though. It was a big miss for me and I’m not sure I’m willing to sit through it again, knowing where it’ll go.
