I finally got around to watching the FMA movie.
Can someone please offer a suitable explanation as to why this world's version of Maes Hughes is a Nazi? HUGHES! I mean, turn Ed into a Nazi. Turn Al into one. Mustang, Breda, Havoc, Fury, Falman, Hawkeye, Furher Bradley, ANYONE but Hughes. Hughes isn't capable of the Nazi thought process. He'd be all, "Hi, non-aryan race types. I love you all. Want to see pictures of my kid? Ain't she a cutie?"
Seriously though, it's a good movie, even if the fact that the bad guys are Nazis does sort lend itself to Indianna Jones style jokes.
Wrath, however, will absolutely break your heart. Be warned. Gluttony is now on my list of my list of most despised fictitious characters EVER. Seriously. He's right up there with Heathcliff, Scarlet O'Hara, Borsk Fey'lya, Peter Pettigrew, Claudio and Luke Skywalker.
Borsk Fey'lya, I should mention, gets double loathing points because he manages to be annoying in every single book he's in. No matter who wrote it. Borsk Fey'lya has managed to transcend the typical annoyingness and go for super mega annoyingness because he can have different people writing him and STILL make me want to find away to reach into the book and strangle him. And it's people with vastly different writing styles. Compare Michael Stackpole with Timothy Zahn. Not even remotely similar. But he's still annoying. I still hate him. It's gotten to the point where I start cheering at the "many Bothans died to bring us this information." line in Return of the Jedi.
But yeah, Gluttony is on my list now.
We went to see PotCII today. Again. Because there was nothing else to do.
Want to know why that mystical "I can read your miiiiiind!" compass doesn't work for anyone? It's because every single character gets angry at it and starts shaking it like it's a Magic Eight Ball or something.
