I FINALLY saw the FMA movie!
The fansubbing was a bit rough in places and non-existant in others, and occasionally it didn't match where in the film I was, but I got the gist of the movie.
First thing I have to say is, Dang, my parody holds up pretty well! I missed out Noa entirely, and the not too subtle Win/Shez references. There is a whole lot more Wrath/Al than I thought. But other than that, if I were to write that thing today, having seen the movie, it wouldn't be all that different.
Actually there was a hell of a lot more blatent subtext than I was expecting. Roy/Ed, oh boy. That subtext is lit up in neon. Riza leaves Roy in disgust and he pines over Ed. What he said about not using his fire alchemy since "that incident" makes no sense at all. I mean, he "sees his victims"?? Victims from where? This ishball war? But he's dealt with that for years. He regrets killing BRADLEY? that makes no sense! Anyway, the unsaid thing about him posting out in the snow because he misses Ed... dude... that's hard.
You know when I wrote that parody, I was being silly with the idea of Ed handing Al over to Roy, but dang it, there it happened.
Additions:
The Castle scene:
EVIL DUDE: Watch me press my strangely phallic weapons into your flesh!
AL: OH NOES! (Is uked)
EVIL DUDE: That felt strangely hollow.
ED: You should try using your actual prick sometime. It's a lot more satisfying.
EVIL DUDE: But I have so many of these! I'm extra manly this way: (Attempts to uke Ed with spring action dildo drill)
ED: HA! No one screws with me! I'm extra flexible! (Bounces around seductively)
EVIL DUDE: Damn, you trying to fight me or turn me on? Never mind, look at this room full of dead people. It's SCIENCE!
AL: Science that does not make people happy isn't science.
AL's 5th GRADE SCIENCE TEACHER: Huuuuuuuh????? Well, I guess this is what happens when kids drop out of elementary school.
EVIL DUDE: Well I can do alchemy too! (transmutes himself into oblivion)
ED: Well that's over. Um... by the way Al. I just sabotaged this castle so I can put your life in danger. But I really do love you.
AL: WHAT? Why the hell did you do that?
ED: Cuz I'm retarded, but you love me anyway.
AL: Ask me again in a few hours, if I'm still alive.
Driving scene:
HEI: HA HA HA HA, You almost killed your brother that's so funny!
ED: LOL! Look at me I'm driving!
HEI: I didn't know you could drive!
ED: I CAN'T didn't anyone watch the Anime? Oops--
(Car crashs)
ED: Aw man, geez, I can't use alchemy to patch it up again because I'm on Earth.
Hei: Actually you couldn't use alchemy to patch it up a busted vehicle in your own world.
ED: True.
Hei: Oh well, la la la, let's go bum a ride.
ED: Wow you are taking this rather well. After all this is an expensive peice of machinery, and we live on handouts.
Hei: Oh, it's not my car. I just stole it for the day.
ED: Well then! Let's get going!
(They climb into the back of a truck full of beautiful singing Gypsy women)
ED: Notice how neither me nor HEI show ANY INTEREST WHATSOEVER in these women.
HEI: Speak for yourself. I'm vaguely interested.
ED: No you aren't.
HEI: Yeah I --
ED: NO you AREN'T!
HEI: Ok. I only have eyes for you.
ED: Damn straight.
HEI: Well, I wouldn't say that.
NOA: I can read Ed's mind. Gosh he's dreamy looking.
HEI: He's also gayer than gay. Which you would be able to pick up if you could read minds... or subtext.
NOA: That will not stop me from flinging myself repeatedly at him.
Well, I'm getting kicked off the computer so I'll stop here.... I'll add more later..
