Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) ED3 "Motherland"
Unpopular opinion.
Ed and Al die young on Earth post Conqueror of Shamballa.
They're too loud, too noticeable, and too prone to sticking their noses into other people's business and getting into trouble about it. They actively intend to go after weapons designed for Hitler's revolution! Two teens against an organized militant order!!
Even while spending time with Noah, they'd be living in a Romani community just before the Roma were collected for the camps. There's zero percent chance they just stand back and let their friends be taken.
And while Ed was determined to live in this world as a part of the world rather than apart from it, he's not going to be able to sit back and watch abuse happen right in front of him. Not after learning his lessons on apathy time and again. Only, they don't have alchemy in this world, they don't have their main form of offense and defense. All they have is martial arts and a hand gun against a growing army and state spies.
Maybe - maybe - they make it to 1939 and WWII, though the chances are slim in my opinion because there was plenty of unrest before war was officially declared.
If they do make it to the war? The best they can hope for is a quick death by bullet. The worst? They get rounded up with Noah's family, sent to the camps, and Ed's automail is immediately found out. The brothers are separated and Ed ends up in Joseph Mengele's labs, taken apart to see how he ticks, how his automail could be recreated. Tortured to death.
Maybe Al makes it through to the end of the war and is rescued when his camp is freed but no chance does Ed survive. And losing Ed like that - again - would drive Al utterly insane.
If I'm being really angsty, I think it would be thematically reasonable for Ed to die by Flammenwerfer 35.
Per wikipedia, quote: "This flamethrower, like all flamethrowers employed by the Wehrmacht, was exclusively used by sturmpionieres (assault pioneers); specialist pioneers who were to assist the infantry in an assault, by overcoming natural and man-made obstacles for the infantry, clearing enemy fortifications with flamethrowers and then destroying them with demolition charges."
And who do we know who would absolutely be using a flamethrower in war?
I bet Ed saw him coming, recognized him, and hesitated in shooting him just long enough for the flames to reach him.
Nazi Sturmpionier Roy Mustang has no idea why he grieved this one death when he's caused so many others. He puts it out of his mind and keeps walking.
Like on top of thinking Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood was a badly written forgettable show there’s also a level of shock and disbelief that a steampunk epic about the interconnected nature of fascism, colonialism and warmongering and how even tyrants are subject to the laws of nature was based on a comic with no character development, a never resolved subplot about people wanting to be king of China and an ending in which the hero breaks the laws of nature in a Deus ex Machina thus rendering all previous thematic elements moot.
Like are you really telling me the writer of Angel Cop had to rewrite most of FMA because the manga author was that horrible and the anime is almost entirely his fix it fic?
"Who the hell is responsible for this fiasco?!"
This is just a very quick procrastination doodle but omg I never realized just how much I needed Rose wearing Winry’s jumpsuit in my life up until now.
I wanted to practice with new brushes. Canon Roy vs How I Like It
