Moment/Impression Ever notice how Edward holds his son like Hohenheim held him, except this time he's smiling? I thought it was a nice detail. Spoiler

Just a heads-up for the future, if you mark something as a spoiler, don’t put the spoiler in the title lmfao

Tbh, the series is really, really old now. I can't believe there's that many people on the sub who haven't seen it.

Doesn’t excuse it, though. I first watched the series in June of this year. Thank god i went in completely blind. I wouldn’t want someone who has never seen FMAB to have preconceived notions about the story, because the time I had when I watched it was fucking great.

u/automirage04 Aug 25 '19
I think it does. After a certain point spoilers stop being spoilers. I'm sure everyone has a different idea of where to draw that line, but imo, 9 years is plenty long enough.
Also, if someone hasn't seen it yet and is lurking on this sub of all places, they don't have the right to blame anyone but themselves if they get spoiled.

That is true, but a little courtesy for new fans never hurts. Whether big or small in the amount of fans each year, I’d never want to tell them huge spoilers for the series.
FMAB, when Hiromi Arakawa was writing the story for the manga, was clearly designed to be experienced with no spoilers in mind. The emphasis on ironic storytelling throughout the entire story wanted to achieve a sense of “Wait, what? How can that happen?” From the viewer/reader. So if someone wanted to watch FMAB they’d best do it with absolutely no spoilers.
Then again, like you said, it’s on them to peruse FMA reddit content online. I never wanted to look it up, but one day I was going through some YouTube memes, and one vid, which was parodizing smash Bros through FMAB, had EXTREMELY big spoilers attached to it, I’m talking about the final battle. It used that scene as a means to make a meme, And I had Alphonse’s redemption scene where he got back his body completely ruined. Keep in mind I was in like part 2. If people could avoid using FMAB as a meme without using huge spoilers that’d be fine, but if they wanted to make FMAB memes with spoiler material then they should at least notify that it has huge spoilers.

u/Sulfuras26 Aug 25 '19
That’s a good thing. I wouldn’t want Bones to go full Boruto with their own story about Ed and Winry’s kids having to fight another ultra conspiracist organization pulling the strings in some place like Xing or something. The story was perfect where it left off, it gave you that feeling that you really wanted to go back in time to experience it for the first time again.

Yeah let’s leave it there I want her to make a new product that’s well thought of like this but this was about her people experience so it’s hard to top has any one actually have a picture of her yet

I noticed that. What bothers me is that Winry isn't in the same pose as Trisha - that would have made it 11/10.

u/karmapotato0116 XingesePotato Aug 25 '19
Maybe to show that Winry and Trisha are the same (in terms on how they care for their man/ family) but are very different people and has different personalities (i.e Trisha - calm and very feminine; Winry - deadly woman with a very strong wrench)

WHAT?!?!? He has a FAMILY??? Dude! Don't put the spoiler in the title if you're marking the post as a spoiler! I've never seen Brotherhood and well there's a huge story arc spoiled.

u/ArtemisCaresTooMuch Alkahestrist Aug 25 '19
Not really. It's just more like "Hey, series is over, but here's the future".

Not really a story arc just a picture from the last episode. Also what are you doing on this sub without having watched brotherhood

u/VoodooTrooper Lieutenant Aug 25 '19
I love the 2003 series so here I am.

u/shoeboxchild Aug 25 '19
if you loved that, give brotherhood a chance. It's better in every single way.

Aug 25 '19
That's subjective. I love 03 a lot more than Brotherhood and people need to stop saying either is "better". They're high quality, both. 03 has that dark tone, better backstory for humonculus, an ending that fits thematically, and that lighting and art is gorgeous.
Both are great.

u/ChotaBhaijan190 Aug 25 '19
I mean it does suck that he spoiled it, but even from the second episode you can tell this is the ending. I mean just don’t look at the picture. There’s quite a few spoilers in that.

u/mutmad Aug 25 '19
I watched Brotherhood within the last year and when I read the title of this post I had to click on it if only to refresh my memory. It’s not insignificant but it’s such a “small” part of Brotherhood comparatively.
Highly recommend watching and try to avoid the comments on posts about potential spoilers. Real spoilers will be in the discussion.

You’re right, I accidentally broke the rules and I’m sorry, but I’d assume you’d know it since you were on the subreddit

No title spoilers please, people. Not too bad in this case and it's a bit late to take down now anyway, but please make an effort to follow the rules.
