Netflix's FMA Movie is a Dumpster Fire. Here's Why. 

Fma is not set in Europe, it is set in a diffrent universe in country where everyone is white. (I like getting r/wooooshed BTW)

@@agent5866 No, it's supposed to be alternate reality Europe. Even in the manga/Brotherhood storyline where it isn't explicit, there are direct parallels that you can't easily ignore. That said, not everyone was actually white. Specifically, the people in Amestris of Eastern descent like Mustang

@@agent5866 FMA's world is quite literally based on interwar Germany. It's no coincidence that the government is incredibly militaristic and refers to their leader as "fuhrer".

@@agent5866 it's in Germany hell, even in the movie "conqueror of shamballa" ( which is cannon ) there's even a hitler and nazi's

@@randomproductions3979 Conqueror is not canon. It's canon to the original 2003 FMA anime, but not to the manga or Brotherhood.

GippyHappy this comment is one of the best things I have seen

But don't worry, the bringer of balance to all things, Thanos will fix it all with a snap!

Underrated comment of the year.

Cases in point: Speed Racer (2008) and DragonBall: Evolution.

*Irwin voice* Perfectly balanced as all things should be, yo.

Oh god

Ehhh, SAO is such a trainwreck that making it *worse* might actually bring it back around to being good. We deserve a "so bad it's good" live action movie (besides, there's already a precedent for a "live action" SAO in Ready Player One)

@@Silburific yeah but you know Ready Player One is based on a book from the 90s, and it never really has the feeling of being in constant danger of course the climax needs to have it but thats all also yeah they are in a game but not trapped in it and there was isekai anime before sao that had the same setting

Silburific 17 personally, sao was really good, just didn’t like the gun gale wasn’t as good but I still like it

Patai ...Ready Player One was written in 2011 And it’s very bad

I know! I saw a trailer for this movie and thought “oh! nice cosplaying fake trailer! they look pretty coo-“ and then i *realized.*

It does look like cosplay

Im ngl, I’ve seen better cosplayers than these people

It’s what I love about it. -cries-

I watch the whole anime..and when i watched this live action i got so mad..because of the storyline..its all wrong..have they watched the anime befoe making these

Like every anime/video game based live action shows.

Somehow I feel like most cosplayers could do better. The costumes too. At least cosplayers put their heart into what they do.

THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT I'VE SAID TO SO MANY PEOPLE SO MANY TIMES!!!!!

Or even go the Bleach and Rurouni Kenshin route and just take one arc and make a movie out of that. Just don't try to cram the whole thing (or parts from the whole thing, like FMA) into one movie...

Ikr. FMA's universe is rich enough to make a spin-off, hell, THEY ALREADY DID THAT AT LEAST TWICE- Just don't ask lazy people to make the movie. They'll just make a rushed version of the anime with some bad cosplayers goofing around.

Or, they could have done the series as a live action SERIES, so they wouldn't have to cram at all...

Annalise Wedewer But live action anime’s are always Inherently bad

A trilogy that can eventually branch off to tell it's own ending could work like how FMA 2003 is better then Brotherhood, fight me

Bibimbapski thats how the entire movie looks

Flareon Dude Expect for Al, it's funny that his CGI looks more genuine than most of the costumes, its usually the other way around.

That's exactly what happens in this scene

lmfao, it’s so poorly made I cried 😂

I think that’s exactly what happened.

They still made a better movie than she ever made a manga or anime.

@@brya9681 The entirety of this comment section would like to say otherwise

If these actors were white this movie still would be bad… did you not watch the video? Casting was probably the smallest issue with this disaster

@@brya9681 no way you said that unironically

Yeah, I suspected it was western-based.

Doubt they would even cast an actor of his skin tone

@@clenchfarthead8047 True 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It was planned that he would be at the sequel.

@@schris3 That's a whole new level of bad story planning.

Wait i haven't seen the movie but how could they remove scar

They should of also used Ulrich Noethen for Tucker.

If it wasnt a dubbed movie, that would make sense.

yea, I can actually see that now...

I will pay good money to see that

She isn't even blonde

@@nathanielmoore4989 ikr they spent all that time putting blonde wigs on everyone else but not her so it seemed like such a weird a choice to me

THEY DID MY GIRL LIKE THAT?

Or the fact that they didn't even bother to give Winry blond hair and blue eyes

I would smile at a pie

I mean it was Al's originally VA, but i see your point

And for me I couldn’t watch is mainly I hate most liveshows that is trying to do it but most of it failed badly

Vilppunen The Finnish Otaku I have to agree And Riza, I think in appearance she is one of the characters that looks more alike to her anime version (cuz her hair at least looks more natural :v)

I have to disagree... Al is way to small...

Ed’s just way to tall

True... but Al is in the manga towering above everyone... here he's just big😑

Avarickan Literally the same It’s entertaining up till some point My sis and I were half trough Brotherhood when we decided seeing the movie And we had actually watched it before knowing what FMA was and still laughed at it Well, the point is, when we watched it again we were only making jokes and laughing at how pathetically done it is compared to the anime

YES

Lmao in death note they used a bunch of white people when it’s set in Japan, but here when it’s in Europe they use a bunch of Asian people.

in the 2006 live-action death note ( the good one trust its a hell lot better than whatever the the Netflix version was) the movie they actually had American actors to play the American chracters from the anime/manga

Full Metal Alchemist, Attack on Titan, Violet Evergarden are DieselPunk fantasies inspired by European cultures, folklore and myths, so yes most of characters are white. Basically totally opposite of Avatar The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, American animated shows inspired by Asian cultures, folklore and myths where every character is Asian or Inuk.

@@kazuhirokawamoto7213 Wow, that's good

By the way, I found it mildly interesting how at the start of the live-action movie, Ed mentions homunculi in relation to human transmutation. I have a soft spot for FMA03.

"Just like a homonculous" That's... actually a really good analogy.

Thalanox: An artificial creation that believes it is superior to the original?

Well whit the parallel universe stuff they put in the first version it can be one of they plot explanation that can save the thing and made a mega cross over whit the anime version that the actors that actually is a German.

CoolGreen Bug: A horrifying monstrosity created to mimic only the surface features of something great. Something entirely disconnected from what made the original something worthy of attention and respect. kingchup: I can barely guess at what you're trying to write. I think you're wrong. In the animated anime/movie, the alternate universe was an explanation for where the energy for transmutation came from. *Spoilers* The organized mass use of alchemy took the energy of human lives. In the parallel universe, this was paid for with the mass deaths in the World Wars. The point is that the parallel universe was tied to the original one in a way that made sense.

It's a completely Japanese production, what do you expect?

Do you understand what whitewashing is? Because I don’t think you do. Jesus gets whitewashed. Depicted as some white dude, but he was a jew(an Arab). White washing is when you take someone who isn’t white, and make them white. No, they Asian-washed this movie.

They did the same thing with the German and Turkish characters in Attack on Titan. Part of Mikasa’s intrigue is the fact that she’s half Asian and it’s REALLY rare, but not in the live action, where they’re all Japanese.

Like with AoT, this is especially indefensible precisely because these people are very strongly implied to be not-Asian. In FMA it's never explicitly stated where they are in comparison to the "real world"; it's just stated that the two worlds are the same place historically diverged at the point when Alchemy became a dominant force in one of them, but given that both Ed and Al live in Europe when Ed goes through the portal, it's reasonably to assume that that's also where they reside, give or take, in their own world. In FMAB, it's made very clear that they're not Asian because they're an Asian country involved and that's a major plotpoint. In fact the differences in people and culture get highlighted when Ling literally puts on a stereotypical Asian routine at one point to get out of getting in trouble.

RIGHT i mean usually im all for an all japanese/asian cast but the only person in the main cast that actually looks asian in the animes is roy. (and people from xing like ling and mei.) amestris is based off of england and it's pretty obvious to me at least that the majority of the characters are supposed to look somewhat white. like for fucks sake hughes literally couldn't look MORE like markiplier in brotherhood

Of course, there's ton of short people in Japan, but they had to go for a kinda tall model who doesn't know how to act, it reminds me to Mexican telenovelas.

And they completely ignored Bradley, ling, greed, hohenheim, Olivier and Alex Armstrong, and the fact that they just annihilated scar.

Ed’s live action actor Ryosuke Yamada is 5’4”…

Yes that is my favorite part of the manga (JK, but almost)

man you here again well you made my day XD

Oh, its you again. Im not sure why I keep running into you.

The bigger question is what is equivalent to a good live action Fullmetal Alchemist movie

Electric Boxers you have the same tastes?

john chung all of humanity cause that shit is impossible

I think their hair's actually bleached.

They should've used blonde actors. It's far more convincing.

menno graafmans Japanese people cant be blonde, the movie should have been set in the uk it would have been way better

Super Bleach That's what I mean. The setting is pre WW1 German/Prussian. They should be using (at least a few) German actors.

THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I FELT WHEN I SAW THAT SEEN

Eh, I had to actually recall when in the manga he purchased red fabric and recreated his cloak/coat, all he had to do was thin the overall substance itself. also fun fact, people(greeling) wondered just why the fudge he wore red in the first place, and Ed responds that it gets him riled up to fight, much like a bull-except bulls hate the movement not the color so i'll just stop typing now-

Same

@@suziesea1027 True, he could have done that like he does with Al's armor. Yeah it stated why he wore red when he remade his coat

It seems in the FMA universe entropy isn't a thing. Al fixed a broken radio in Liore, and Ed repaired a radiostation when they returned to East City in the anime.

THE TROMBONE HAD ME DEAD

LMAO SAME

I almost lost my shit with that music.

Fits in well with the clip. I mean, look at how he walks!

It was so sad...

I know right it didn't make sense to get the voice of Al from brotherhood.

They said it was to distinguish her from Ed. Doesn't make the most sense.

Wtf did you smokd xD They look NOTHING alike the original characters expect somewhat Lust.

rjd1922.... then why is Al blonde 😂

Flareon Dude Because we only see Al as a kid when he's human.

rjd1922 I know, Im making a joke dude. Plus hes Ed's brother so it makes sense hes blonde too

I have this one a shot because it was Japanese cast like the orginal live action deathnote movies. I was sadly disappointed and cut it off in 10 mins

Xx Knightmarexx Yeah, but in this case it’s a fictional tale on Germany so this is the one time in Anime where a Japanese cast is actually kinda weird.

@@NIN10DOXD The cast not really important, as long the story and the plot good, which sadly this movie didnt have that

as hollywood is bad there are some movies that needed to be handled by it.

Thank god Greed was spared.

NANO Ff aGREED! I don’t want to see my favorite FMA character turn into something like this!

If you specified BROTHERHOOD, then you'd be fine, (the 2003 series is good enough though it has some fucking brilliant animation).

LOL yes why

Awsamazing Eden do you read the FMA manga.

EEWW, FMA is bad. Brotherhood is the best

King_____Crimson at this point I've given up fighting. If they can't see that FMA is a great anime after 15 years nothing will convince them.

Thomas Fernandez Yes

Awsamazing Eden I wish more people would read the manga first.

And in the dub, all that was handled entirely by Vic Micnogna.

Which sloth? Escaped patient from arkham asylum sloth or 2003 sloth?

Plus, no Elicia chan...

Indeed. Like, Envy was extremely hard to kill. Considering he could turn into a giant green dog with all kinds of souls on it's back.

James Tomato dog 😂😂

To be fair, Al sounds like a grown man bc they used his original voice actor from the 2003 anime. (In the dub, at least. Didn't watch the subbed version so idk about that)

CidGuerreiro1234 He actually dyed his hair blonde.

Pretty sure he used a ponytail extension though.

If that's his actual hair then it's all the more shocking how awful and unnatural it looks.

@@CidGuerreiro1234 - the actor himself really gets into his characters, and because of that he dyed his hair n.. yes, an extension. Which, looks very greasy and fake. Dunno how tf they did that but they did

TheWoostergirl I've seen better cosplay than these costume designs.

Now you have me picturing Doggy Nina speaking like scooby do. Good job. XD

Isn't he just putting the broken threads back together? He shouldn't need to create any new material so long as the fabric isn't actually torn off of the coat.

@@benjaminlee985 it was torn off so there wasn't enough to actually make it whole

He's like "so im gonna just take some air to fix my coat gimme a sec"

Maybe the coat thins out alot.

@@oisinkelly8407 That's what I figured, like with Al's armor in the show, but a throwaway line of dialogue while he's transmuting stating that's what he is doing wouldn't be amiss. In the show they explicitly stated that's where the seemingly new material came from, and it even became a plot point as Al became more brittle. This movie IMO did too many "I guess they did this" things, making viewers assume rather than showing it.

You are not the only one 🤣🤣

Randonio :v winry and Ed were talking about how Al should have a big slice of pie for when he gets his body back and winry is like, "and you get a small slice" Kinda meh but there was a short joke in there

Compate 1 joke vs yncontable jokes. The difference is clear Also for that joke, Ed didn't rage at all

There were at least three

Randonio :v Eds reactions are truly beautiful whenever someone calls him short

There are...okay, maybe one.

Same everytime i was like here comes the clap but then it wasnt there and I was like oh wow

Time out. They edited what out? Seriously? Even the shitty non-Brotherhood anime managed that part. Come ON, Netflix.

This movie’s even more sinful

Plus the characters were lip synching the whole time

@@jordanlavergne7041 wait what

I did the same thing, the cringe from this movie came in a wave out of the TV and washed me out of the room

@@ferrin6326 the voices sound like they ate being played over the actors talking

I mean, had they been included, this film would've been even more of a crammed mess than it already is.

A series of movies like harry potter films could work. It would be a very expensive venture and will have to be done by a big studio in Hollywood.

A movie by itself wouldn't be able to fit much of a series of episodes, let alone on arc so there'd have to be parts to them. Then again, hollywood's already botched plenty of adaptations so I doubt it'd work out regardless.

Its too big and deep of a story to summarize in a quick 2 hour movie. It was made as an anime for a reason. It had the length that it did for a reason. It needed the right medium and the right amount of time to tell its story. The case is the same across so many other great animes. People try to adapt them and realize that its shit because of this.

Same goes for Game of Thrones books. I've read that many ppl aproached the author to make a movie not a TV series. Imagine that little monster...

> A TV miniseries with a run time similar to BBC's Sherlock? I'd honestly love that... Also if they could fix the horrendous CGI that would be good.

I feel glad to have found this movie by Nina's fusion with her dog. And even THAT terrified me for a bunch of months and almost made me hate FMA cos of it...

Same

Sadly same Oh and by all the people talking about how hot Mustang is or how the anime is perfect

Mann you are damn lucky and unlucky

At least you met the anime

Above Beyond bruh, i’ve seen cosplay ten times better than this movie

smexyanimebabe lol, I have to agree.. this movie was terrible, and I hate that I even watched it on Netflix; I had to rewatch FMA Brotherhood all over again to wash the bad taste away.

Mate thats every anime live adaption

I guess we have to wait longer for any good live adaptation to come through, since most real anime/manga fans are either still in some form of schooling or not high up enough to be able to make a good movie happen. It was the same with comic book film adaptations and we finally have those in existence...

Very accurate! hahahhahahahahahahahahaahh

I also think Lust and Envy fit the cast well

NO, we CANNOT. The most accurate was Alexander. ps Hughes takes 2nd place. pps I actually thought the casting was really good in this (NOT the acting, just the casting). Nothing straight out of the manga/anime, but the appearances did somehow have the feel of the character they were supposed to depict. Except Envy. I have no idea how they could take an absolute extract of adorable androgyny that is Kanata and make him uglier, bulkier and more masculine. just WHY, that goes against everything that is Envy...

Personally the only other person I could imagine as Hugh would be Markiplier

Aren't they all supposed to be ... european?

Yup.

Hughes is just markiplier.

@@59lours3 I think it's the other way around bro

Yeah you're right actually now that I think about it.

@@59lours3 lol 😂😂😂

I knew I've seen markiplier somewhere before I found him on YT

More like "Netflix's FMA movie is a dum-" Me: Say no more i believe you

The Last Airbender had a lot more issues than just that

Further, this isnt a magic system that can look good in live action

To be real ... the "magic system" is the minor of the problems in both situations.

But hey, give this movie credit. At least there's no Shyamalan.

Also the whole changing of the characters ethnicities

aksiznerfgun neither is scar, like, wtf?

It's Japan. They have some difficulty rustling up gigantic nonfat human beings.

On other hand, it's Japan. They totally could get someone like Rock or Batista naked and screaming about "being passed in the Armstrong family" in horrendously fake japanese

Either of them would probably have cost more to get than the films entire budget.

What!! They didn't add Armstrong? He's pretty much the only comic relief except for Al at one point or another! Wow, the movie is worse than I thought....

Only watch the anime and/or read the manga, dont touch this trashpile

Well, if you want to laugh a while at how pathetic it is and waste 2 hours of your life in which you could see from 8 to ten chapters, I recommend you to see it And I found out about the movie two years before watching the serie When I started the serie, I didn’t even remember that the movie existed

The simple way to bypass equivalent exchange is the Director's Stone of course!

Best. Comment. EVER!!!!! XD

Jack Jackson The cost of the Directors Stone is too high. It's like, this whole movie's budget.

A Director's Stone is made by sacrificing anime souls?

He kinda looked like Joji

..........Can we make that happen?

A youtube sponsored FMA brotherhood remake? Yes.

Honestly, that could work. Hughes was the comic relief before he died (excluding the "Ed is short" jokes of course), and we know Mark is basically a comedian.

My partner and I thought that too.

I only watched 03 and one of the men she gave a fake stone too and even grew to love him but ended up killing him. Been a bit since I saw it so that's all I remember off the top of my head.

In Brotherhood it was literally only Havoc iirc

But it was

Well not to a great extent but its vaguely there

in general its not really relevant but the whole arc in 03 where she falls in love does humanise her and actually make her an interesting developed character. this movie just took the homunculi and made their only personality being evil

the cg looks like it came out of a ps3 pre-rendered cutscene.

Not to mention the most important character of all, Major Armstrong.

Greed.... I was really looking forward to Greed..... /pout/ Now, I'm scared that they'll do a sequel, toss him in, and ruin it.

If no Armstrong is in this Movie I wont watch it....

Conrad Kujur Well to be honest its basically impossible to adapt 60+ ep or 20+ Vol of manga into like a 150 min movie. Not saying they couldn't have done a much better job. But still you can't have all the characters from the series in this movie and expect them to get any sort of major time on screen or character development. Plus I'm sure budget prevented them from doing such things as Envy's true form and things like that. Even with all its faults it still did some things well such as the Tucker storyline pretty much being exactly what it was in the manga. Other then the fact of him coming back in the end. Due to their being no Scar to kill him.

Alfa M'ale don’t you mean general Armstrong. Clearly the better character.

i cringed halfway through that movie

And they don't want to let us be... What else do we have to endure??? (Netflix live-action adaptation of ATLA)

dragon ball evolution is there too

@@nisharamesh472 I am genuinely impressed that you made it halfway through that movie without cringing.

The sufferation if you’re a fan of both, and death note, and ghost in the shell....

But it's so shiny

Looks like it’s 2002 Cgi but it still looks the best visually compared to the rest of the movie

Yeah, if it wasn't for Netflix it probably wouldn't even be released in the West.

txcforever oh, it would. On a expensive disc somewhere

Ty From Jagon the Red : still sucks though 😒

Then why the hell does it say "A Netflix movie" on Netflix?

PikaLink91 again. because Netflix distributed it to America. otherwise it would have never had a proper release in the west.

I can understand Nina's story perhaps resulting in a flashback for Ed and Al, but I can't imagine Ed and Al telling a 4 year old their story of how they used the forbidden arts to try and ressurect their dead mother only to create an eldrich abomination that resulted in Ed losing his leg and sacrificing his arm by using the blood pouring out of the stump where his leg used to be to transfer his disintegrated little brother's soul into a suit of armour that can no longer feel anything.

nah, she's gonna die anyway.

So rather than fit iconic moments from an iconic series into a movie so fans could see those moments through a new medium and a wider audiance could get introduced to those moments and the series as a whole through that new medium, you'd rather try and fit in a movie that's devisive amongst even the fans of the original series and is quite possibly the thing that strayed the farthest from the author's work out of everything in the franchise? Seems legit.

Should have just made a movie about Ling and Greed if they succeeded in returning back to his home and maybe had to fight against everyone else who had found a way to be immortal or prove himself. or just make it about the journey and have Ling returning home as the ending. Could have made a movie about Xerxes as well? Or the war but i think that would cost way too much to do well. For it to be worth watching they need to elaborate on existing points or do them better, why would a watch a low quality inaccurate re-cap?

Ferhog: Ed and Al could have told Nina a heavily redacted version of their life story, but what the audience got to see would be the true story. Happens all the time in media.

Cosplayers, of course, are the big fans, and would put lots of attention into detail. Maybe they should have hung out on each set for a while before filming.

Awsamazing Eden Yep it was just waiting to happen....

Lmao! I soooo wanted him to nit pick the shit out of this movie. It would've been so funny.

Goddamn right!

Awsamazing Eden the music in the begging is apotos day

Worse, Dissect it via alchemy put it back together as a Chimera.

really? is there a source to this?

Well, that's interesting.

You sure he wasn't just being polite? I haven't seen anything he said about the Netflix adaptation, but from reading some of Tsugumi Ohba's interviews, I get the impression that he's the type to praise something to be nice, even if he doesn't like it.
