ok

I love how Scar and the Ishvalan desire to combat the army that is encroaching on them and occupying their lands is seen as somehow irrational. They frame it in a "you are no better than your oppressor" if you seek to kill your "master" ... it's kind of difficult to relate to the logic. If someone went to a Palestinian and said "I know they are committing genocide against your people and occupying your country, but please be peaceful lest you become just as bad as them" ... would we not laugh in their face? It is liberal drivel. Anyway, the show is still amazing don't get me wrong. But this is the height of wisdom? Edit: it is not alchemy itself that is "evil" ... it is the way in which it is utilized that defines its character in this respect. Is technology inherently evil? No! It's simply the various ways in which societies weaponize them. For example, AI is not a "threat" to the working class, if anything it will improve their lives and allow them to work less while continuing to be sustained on the profits! However, this is not possible in a capitalist economy. We see, it is not AI or technology that is the issue, but the underlying system which surrounds technology. It is no different with alchemy...

The scene you are criticizing isn't depicting the Ishvalans as irrational. It's showing how cycles of hatred and bloodshed are created. It's not the desire for resistance that the show is objecting to, it's the bloodlust. To build on your real-world example: in the case of Palestine, their resorting to terrorist attacks on civilians led to more support for right-wing parties in Israel who pursued even more aggressive policies. The response of the United States to 9/11 is another good example; the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan led to an increase in terrorism. Given that the author of the manga is Japanese, the best analogy to the Ishvalan scene is a bunch of Japanese cheering the construction of their own atomic bombs so that they can use them to blow up U.S. cities.

One of the deepest episodes of anything period.

Great reaction, as always, Roshi. Pretty sure red is for deconstruction, blue is for reconstruction.

Oxbox

This is one of the GOAT examples of perfectly leading into the ED music imo

One of my favorite episodes of FMAB. The ending really fits this series. "Let it all out~~~"

Jackie

Ed gave up his right arm to save Al, and Scar's brother also gave up his right arm to save Scar.

after this episode, it's really hard not to see Scar's anger as justified.
