A bunch of rants I cooked up (one with the help of a friend) and am posting out of impulse and anger.
Warning, spoilers for the manga chapters abound, upto the latest.
(
Defense for everyone's favourite Automail mechanic, Winry Rockbell. Also reasons why she rocks )
Well, I think she still loves Cain,a nd if not, then she is just getting over everything. I eman, in the movie she accpeted Ed's death, just like Cain's, so she's not especially disheartened.
Well, I mostly get annoyed at how they gave her a pointless story yet ruined the stories of people like paninya and etc, because she isn't so "pretty" and "delicate" and "angsty" I suppose. i really hate that mentality of people, when they cry about Rose being unappriciated and Arakawa being mean to minor characters when they blatantly ignore this fact and... yeah.
Besides, Arakawa's use is much more flattering for Rose, I'd say. For the Anime, i understand bad stuff happens in war, but the way her story was executed left her as a character-less doll and really... Iunno. I like how the manga has her dragging Winry away a la Hughes, having a gigantic closet with organized colours, and a rubber ducky with an eyepatch. That says so much more about her than some tragedies she gos through. After all, tragedies don't define a person, how they react to them do, and the Anime never showed that.
The movie did her a little justice, but for some reason most Rose fans I meet like to bash how Rose was portrayed in the movie O_o;.
