motherfuckingkenji (12/01/2015) [-] Sloth from Literally Best Animu Ever Made Fullmetal Alchemist/FMA: Brotherhood though not the 2003 anime, in which he was a fine ass hoe for some stupid ******* reason. The 2003 anime is just ******* stupid in so many ways .
He's like if The Hulk was slightly retarded, though the thing that never made sense to me is that he, like the other homunculi, is supposed to represent one of the seven deadly sins (because of... reason), but he's never shown to be lazy or particularly slow, just kinda... sluggish. I mean, the ****** dug a tunnel all the way around the entirety of a country, so not really lazy. Granted he complains all the time, saying he would rather be sleeping, but still...

devilofscience (12/01/2015) [-] Everyone who's lazy is slothful, but not everyone who is slothful is lazy, being sluggish and putting forth a minute amount of effort in everything you do is also slothful, which is how sloth acts; additionally he had no choice in digging that tunnel if he didn't do it father would have killed him, if I recall correctly he references this in the tunnel when we first see him, I think the line was "... but dying would be more of a pain." Finally the 2003 anime was ******* amazing, I don't know what you were watching but that show was great; can't quite remember why they proclaimed the Elric's mother the homunculus of sloth though, think it had something to do with how long it took her to recover after Ed and Al revived her, but its been a while so I can't say for sure.

devilofscience (12/01/2015) [-] It's not about the creators, or the people they used to be, but the characteristics of the humunculi they create, if it was about the creators they'd all be pride or greed, and Wrath had no character before he was a humunculus so that' would be difficult to assign.

devilofscience (12/01/2015) [-] I wasn't talking about brotherhood, gluttony was gluttony because he's gluttonous, Lust was Lust because she's Lustful, Envy was Envy because he's envious, Pride was Pride because he's prideful, Wrath was Wrath wrathful, Greed and sloth are a little under developed as I recall but they likely showed some substance of their namesakes in the show as well.

Yeah but that costs him too much energy and he died because of it.

no and I hope you are not going to go all "hurr durr you are not allowed to enjoy an anime if you haven't read the mango"
i can like whatever damn show as much as I want, regardless of it being true to the source work or not.
But mostly I didn't like the less serious and goofier brotherhood anime, and the ending, like I said, which was a total happy end with a retarded 80's villain, to boot

excaliburr ONLINE (12/01/2015) [-] ... Retarded 80's villain? I thought Father was well developed and interesting, especially his motives and interactions with Truth.

funnyhat (12/01/2015) [-] Father was awesome! That is until the very last episode where he, an almost ultimate being, was defeated by eastern alchemy. I mean he was supposed to know all sorts of **** and even if he somehow did not know, he SAW there was alchemy that he could not control and was all like "meh". Even disregarding that Hoenheim used "the moon's shadow" for his transumation circle. Pic related. In all the anime transmutation circles had to be physical lines and **** that really made me roll my eyes very hard. Combine that cheezy bit with the eastern alchemy thing and him going off randomly making tiny stones out of people, instead of retreating and recooperating, plus the way he was killed and the way Cimbley suddenly stopped Wrath is just as 80's cheezy happy ending as you can get. The worst part being that the end "Father" contradicted the intelligent, careful tactician Father that had been planning this. So IMO it was bad. :/

excaliburr ONLINE (12/01/2015) [-] I respect your opinion but I also think that you really have to evaluate Brotherhood like you would a story from English class. Towards the ending you start to see that Father isn't what he's painted out to be, he's flawed and allowed his arrogance to take over. Once he acquired "god" he thought that he was invincible, that nothing could kill him. He tried to separate his 7 deadly sins so he could become his definition of perfection, without realizing that you can't separate them because they're a part of human nature, that becomes apparent when Hohenheim and Father met on the Promise Day, before Hohenheim teared open his skin. Hohenheim was constantly poking at father, trying to get him to show wrath or any sort of the emotion he split from himself, to show him that he was still flawed. And it worked, Hohenheim finally broke Father and he showed anger. That was the first step towards unraveling Father, a being who thought he was perfect. It was also explained that if Father didn't at least try collect more stones that he would lose the power he called god because he wouldn't have enough energy to keep it down. So Father tried getting more souls for new stones, of course though everyone figured this would be his plan of action and tried their best to keep him from absorbing soul's. And I'm not sure what you mean by "eastern alchemy defeating him", it wasn't eastern alchemy that defeated him, it was his arrogance in believing that just because Greed came from him that Greed would help him. Father was never the careful tactician he was painted to be at first, he was just a flawed, impatient man with nearly unlimited knowledge. And I can't tell you about the physical transmutation circles, but what I can can say is that the alchemic principals are different in Brotherhood than in the 2003 anime. Besides, Hohenheim never really needed any transmutation circle to begin with, his alchemy was hands-off. I guess in Hohenheim's case it's more important to get the points correct than it is to get a physical circle. Oh and I almost forgot about this point, but Kimblee was also a very prideful man. He was with the homoculi in the first place because they gave him his freedom, but once he saw Pride abandon his own pride, he stepped in. It was insulting to him, Kimblee's big on the whole "go down with your own ship" ideology, you can tell from when Scar nearly killed him on the train, when he said "Yes, it's closing in! One who spreads death and destruction must accept their pursuit! He will never be far from either." Kimblee was just a man of principal and couldn't watch Pride abandon his sinking ship.

I see what you mean, you are correct about Father, I see that, now.
I respect your opinion, but to me using the moon's shadow as a transmutation circle still seems cheezy, in the end we have no way of knowing how alchemy works at all in any anime or manga, because it is a work of fiction and usually authors do not think everything through simply because it would defeat the idea of a story and it is nearly impossible for a person to re-describe the laws of physics for a fictional force, so...
I also understand the reasoning behind Kimblee (sorry for spelling his name wrong before)'s interferance but it still seemed cheezy to me, because he was the ONLY soul not completely absorbed by Pride (oh, man I even got that one wrong, it's been a while since I watched it ) and he conveniently decided to interfere at the very last moment, when otherwise Pride would have won, so...
In the end I just liked the first anime better, Brotherhood was good, but I just prefer the first one.

excaliburr ONLINE (12/02/2015) [-] Yeah, I get you. It's cool that you liked the first anime. It's was pretty dope. I just liked Brotherhood a more, but both are great.. And I get what you're saying about Kimblee, you just thought it was a little deus ex machina for the story. And while I think it was a little stretch, I can see how it worked. Kimblee was just so use to pain and death that the whole torrent of souls thing didn't affect him. His personality is what kept him from losing his individuality and mind. Sort of like how even though Ling was in the same situation, he was stuck in a philosopher stone too but his resolve kept his mind from forgetting that if he didn't become immortal that his whole clan would have died. There's nothing really to say about the transmutation circle anymore, i guess. Anything I say would just be a guess. :p

europe (12/01/2015) [-] Spoilered for a reason
That's the irony of his death:He died because he over-exerted himself
Just like practically all other sins: Greed died sacrificing himself, Lust got killed by a womanizer, Gluttony got eaten and Wrath died by something that could be seen as divine intervention:a ray of light blinding him

rhiaanor ONLINE (12/01/2015) [-] Well, he doesn't want to be doing anything, but I assumed that he would die if he let himself sleep due to some defect, or just because of the sloth nature. Also he is very reluctant to actually put forth effort, like the tunnel he could have dug insanely quickly put took quite a long time due to how slow he is.

bigmanblue (12/01/2015) [-]
hes sloth because despite being both the strongest and the fastest of the homunculi hes very reluctant to actualy apply his strength so he comes accrose as really slow.

ashedust (12/01/2015) [-] The only thing I have against the 2003 FMA is that it turned into "The Adventures of Ed and Al and oh yeah, there's an actual plotline we should be following"
I mean, the episodes are pretty good overall (And I liked the concept of homunculous being the animated bodies of loved ones resulting from human transmutations done right. I personally thought it was better than "In a world of science, I have no real explanation for the homunculous, so I'm gonna say that the evil villain separated his seven deadly sins from his body and gave them form magically."

mamenber ONLINE (12/01/2015) [-] The bad guy wanted to literally become god, so he got rid of (at least parts of) his seven deadly sins and gave them parts of not really his soul. They all obey him, except for greed, for obvius reasons. And since he was easily able to overcome his sloth, it makes sense that Sloth would be able to do the same.
