If all Ed had to do was sacrifice his alchemy to bring back Al, why the fuck couldn't he just do it earlier? None of that Father shit was ever his problem
>>284466258Because he had to LEARN that was even on the table by experiencing life. Let's say he thought about it immediately for no reason, his alchemy would have been a blank slate just like Father's who didn't learn shit because he refused to experience anything during his long life. The series shows you this.
>>284466258are you a nigger?
The character earlier in the story did not know something he learned later, hard to understand, I know.
>>284466963>>284469392He didn't really learn much of anything on his own, all his knowledge in alchemy and anything special was forced into him by seeing the truth he likely knew this was possible at the beginning
>>284466258The mental trauma might have been a key point.
>>284466258>If all poor people had to do to be rich was invest early and wait many years down the line, why the fuck didn't they just have the money now?The literal theme of the show that is spelled out to you 24/7: Equivalent exchange.
>>284469211This is a question that needs answering.I have learned that Africans are incapable of temporal abstractions. It is why they can't plan for the future and are incapable of hypotheticals.
>>284469514This, Brotherhood fags in this thread just grasping at straws like usual. What a pathetic sight
He had to mature as a person first. 03babs wouldn't understand personal growth.
>>284466258His alchemy wasn't worth that much back then. It's only through using it to help so many people and save the world and stuff that it had enough to equal Al's lifeIf anything Ed alchemy knowledge had negative value in the beginning, it's literally what caused all his problems in the first place.
>>284466258Hitogami?
>>284466258It was written by a woman, it doesn't make sense, even the esoteric parts are all wrong.
>>284472167>If anything Ed alchemy knowledge had negative value in the beginning, it's literally what caused all his problems in the first place.This.Truth taking away his alchemy back then would be doing him a favor.It isn't until Ed changes the lives of others and manages to change to world with his alchemy that it finally becomes something worth giving up.
>>284466258>Hey these kids are traumatized and fucked up from using human alchemy.>Why don't they just do it again to test out some stuff? haha.It's a mystery, OP.
>>284470175>all [people who aren't white] are (or do) [thing]>ok here are examples of white people doing (or being) [thing]>th-those don't count because they aren't real white people!!!!!!Peel off enough layers and you will always find them hiding behind the no true scotsman fallacy.
>>284466258You just made this because someone was complaining about BHA didn't you?
>>284466258If all Luke had to do was redeem Vader to destroy the Empire, why the fuck couldn't he just do it earlier? None of that Jedi shit was ever his problem
Because it was a process of discovery and learning. Or are you going to tell me that at 50 you would take the same decisions you taken when you were 13? No, right?
>>284470448Your mom should be very proud of you, anon
>>284466258Why is it that FMA threads always get brigaded?
>>284473193>even the esoteric parts are all wrong.which ones are those?
>>284473193What is the correct “esoteric part”?Parallel dimensions with Nazis and Cyborg archers?
Fullreddit Malchemist sucked.
Ed had to accept his initial hubris and to accept the world-as-it-is instead of hanging onto his capacity to manipulate it. Once he was at peace with the world he could be at peace with himself and this unlocked the correct path.
>>284466258hack anime
>>284476464It worked out for him, but accepting the world-as-it-is is a bad mindset to have.He got burned, but was more correct at the start of the show, just unaware of the costs of his actions.
>>284466258the gate is much more than "his alchemy"study gnosticism for two years before watching FMA
>>284477436>but accepting the world-as-it-is is a bad mindset to have.your mindset is why we have trannies and censorship everywhere
>>284466258because he didn't know that was an option>>284469514>likelyso you complain about things that don't add up and then proceed to make shit up to defend your pointironic
>>284477710If more people wanted to improve things neither of those would be issues. It is complacency that allows those to hold undue influence.
