Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - Envy's Envy

[@SagesRain]

Father is the antagonist, not the protagonist.

[@PatrickWilliams-ip5wz]

Sage's Rain technically he is both if people consider Ed’s father a protagonist ig

[@efrentorresjunior8954]

Lol no

[@winsonxie3179]

Patrick Williams it doesn’t work like, that Father is main villain

[@PatrickWilliams-ip5wz]

winson xie I don’t think you understand I mean father took the form of Ed’s dad important character who is the is the reason for father even existing this long and has been sulking and drinking because he didn’t think he could defeat him but in reality there dead even so when I say both I’m saying Ed’s father who is a side protagonist and father are two half’s of the same coin they both have the same alchemy etc if father took the appearance of someone else my comment wouldn’t be here.

[@winsonxie3179]

Patrick Williams Ok, the antagonistic nature is defined by the actions he does in the story. But in cases where bad guys becomes good guy they aren’t suddenly the antagonist for the whole story. We follow the story of Ed and Al which directly oppose fathers actions therefore he is the antagonist. And they are not different sides of the same coin, father is just using his shell and appearance as a cover and merely imitates it, though he does exist because of Hohenheim, Hohenheim himself doesn’t support of like the actions of father.

[@lukeskywalkerthe2nd773]

I feel like their is one quote that really sums up Envy's character, one that I am sure many know by now: "Do not pity the dead, pity the living, and above all: those who live without love." Envy from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is (imo at least) a prime example to add even more meaning to that already super meaningful quote. But that's just me. :)

Envy is one of my favorite villains of fmab and how he portrayed the sun envy was phenomenal. He hated humans more then any of the humanculi combined. The others just saw them as lesser beings but he loathed then cause he was jealous and that jealousy led to his cruelty towards them. It was just amazing in my opinion and it’s the reason why he’s 2nd favorite villain in fmab just a little behind King Bradley.

[@Exorcist_ali248]

5:10 People talk a lot about the few good English dubs out there, but Envy’s final performance really solidifies FMA:B as one of the best.

[@Soundwave._]

I'm rarely much good at noticing voice actors but Wendy Powell is just utterly phenomenal, hats off to her for crafting such an incredible voice so perfectly suited to the character.

[@weirdtree8611]

Not gonna lie but when I saw Envy crying, I was about to- okay I actually cried. Idk why but I feel like I understood his view. How weak and pathetic it must have felt when he was on the ground and ppl looking down on him. I felt that pain because I also feel or have felt that pain and embarrassment. And also hearing his voice made it even so unbearable of how small he felt at that moment. So yeah FMA hit me right in the feels so many times.

[@blackshogun272]

Weird Tree the worst thing that can be done to a sapient mind is to be made outcast and vilified; subject to intangible temptation for love or care only to be ignored...

[@Thoralmir]

Tell me, are your politics more right-wing or left-wing?

[@WolforNuva]

Minor correction, not even the Philosopher's Stones bypass the law of equivalent exchange, they just hold so much alchemical value that it seems that way, evident by the fact that they do get used up, and there is no stone shown that last forever.

[@godknightomega]

That and the price that is paid upfront when the stone is created. The old saying "nothing is free" comes to mind.

[@VlN420]

Envy is probably my favorite fictional character of all time so this video (which was very good tbh), almost made me cry. It angers me how people only see his actions, not his motivations caused by emotional pain he constantly felt. What makes it even more sad, is the fact that everything what he did, could be easily prevented. If he could experience friendship and love, who knows if he’d stayed by fathers side. Maybe, he would turn to humanity and the Ishval incident would never happen? Truly a tragic character.

[@lidyarahmah6307]

Yea, u r right, like what greed did right?

[@raintalon6138]

Envy killed Hughes. Yet we cannot forget Hughes is not an innocent. He took place in a genocide. Envy killed a child. This is no more then Mustang did or many other states alchemists did. Envy acknowledged not only his actions but their repercussions. Mustang, in contrast, offered rationalization and excuses. And never truly owned up or faced consequences. The only other one who actually ownes up is Scar. In this way, Envy is more worthy of redemption then someone like Mustang or Hawkeye.

[@amaimon1494]

Envy in himself is interesting and could have gone in two routes with himself. He obviously felt insecure and empty, and lack the things that humans have which grew into resentment and hate. He’s psychologically the embodiment of malicious envy. It would have been interesting if he had turn into benign envy: aspiration and found the love that he was looking for.

[@Alaryk111]

I doubt if this would be better for the writing than his death.

[@Thoralmir]

@Tony Tran No, Envy didn't want power, he just wanted to bring others down to make himself feel better.

[@jeangentry6656]

I wouldn't say Envy is always looking for a fight. Whenever he gets into a real fight, he runs like hell, because he quickly finds himself outclassed. What Envy is, is an instigator, a sh*t stirrer and a sh*t talker, he loves to get people riled up so they will either play into his hands or get so angry they don't think straight.

[@KarlAndArma4ever]

Yes! Exactly! Thank you! If anything, he prefers to put up the least amount of physical effort, hence his extra focus on talking. Envy is not about taking action, but about twisting emotions.

[@giadapxysister3179]

HEY CALM. DOWN leave alone my little angel

[@missagronaut705]

I wouldn’t say Envy couldn’t feel love or emotions, I think it’s more that he was never given the chance to. The dynamic of Father’s “family” was clearly not a healthy one, and we can pretty easily reason that Father did not raise his children with love. He did, however, pass onto them his view of humans, that they are weak and below Homunculi. The majority of the Homunculi adopted their father’s opinions on humans, much like a child looking to their parent to learn about the world. The one thing Envy really wanted was love. He grew up watching the loving relationships that humans formed with one another and deeply coveted them. He never received love from his father, and because of the beliefs he’d adopted from Father, he would never seek any kind of relationship with a human. He considered them far too below him for that. This leaves his siblings, the other Homunculi, as the only people from whom Envy could have received any love or affection - but, it doesn’t look like that ever happened either. We know the Homunculi are capable of caring about others: Gluttony was close to Lust and mourned her loss, Wrath chose and (probably) cared for his wife, Greed was able to befriend others, etc. But it doesn’t seem like Envy was especially close to any of his siblings. He looks like he might’ve gotten along with Lust, but even then, we don’t know if their relationship was ever very intimate. With no one who loved him, not even his “family”, Envy was unable to get the one thing he truly wanted. This, in combination with his already low opinion of humans, drove him to hate them more than any of the other Homunculi. He took delight in harming and killing them, hoping he could fill the emptiness he felt with his sadism, and put up an egotistical front to hide his compounding insecurities.

[@violetraven8323]

I love this channel, seriously you surprise me in the best way possible every time. Envy I found to be one of the most believable villains in anime. In fact each of the seven deadly sins sprouts from certain negative human emotions. Envy-from feelings of discontent and inadequacy Lust- loneliness and mentality that you are not worthy of attention/affection/love Gluttony-having an emotional void in your heart, a lacking of positive emotional nourishment the root of your constant need to physically feed yourself Sloth- thinking a task is to hard for you to succeed, and that you'll suffer disappointment and humiliation just for trying. Pride-the question of your existence and your convinced that everyone and even you yourself looks down on you Wrath-emotions of fear, your terrified and feel like your fighting for your life thus you lash out even if irrationally Greed- believing that possessions are a crippling need so you push all you can to yourself believing there's nothing of value on the inside of your being.

[@slothful2039]

Human sins are in and of themselves not so much sins as they are hurts. Hurt people hurt people. Maybe through love and forgiveness of everyone's shortcomings we can heal these "sins".

[@zeldasama]

Seems like Envy had a not so envious life. I feel that he was the one I always did feel the most simpathy towards, maybe gluttony because he didn't really seem to understand right and wrong well. However, Envy had such a tragic life.

[@garnett2350]

Envy is cute

[@dante5088]

The voice at the beginning scared the shit outta me.

[@philzh7973]

It’s funny because I honestly love both Envys, even though people don’t really talk about the 2003 adaption of the character. While Brotherhood Envy isn’t just jealous of Elric brothers but of all humans in general, the FMA 2003 is special to me because it gives Envy an anchor to the main characters and the hatred he feels for Hohenheim is only a shade darker than Ed’s own resentment for the man. Dante gets all the attention for having the sins of her seven homunculi, but I believe it’s Envy who shows most those sins the best because the source of his negativity is more easily attainable. Brotherhood Envy kills themself because someone understood them; 2003 Envy kills himself because even though he would die too, fulfilling his desire to kill his father was the only way to release himself of his only wish. While that might seem a bit one-dimensional, I enjoy it.

[@N8kdmagazine]

Man, envy was the one that actually made me cry. It completely caught me off guard because out of all of them. Envy's needs we're simple, but unattainable. I really didn't expect envy to commit suicide.

[@cloudunderweather9554]

1:33 I would argue that we have spent more time with greed than with envy...

[@SylentVoidkeeper]

cLoud unDerWeather ...It’s debatable. Greed is a big presence for a while, but kind of fucks off for most of the end of the middle of the series till he and Ling finally get along to some degree after Greed breaks down. Envy is the one we see in action the most, then Greed, Pride, and Wrath

[@dhivaansalig6398]

@@LenOnTheDoor0000 There was a reason. If he had killed Envy then and there, he would've lost his mind completely to anger and vengeance, and that's the face the people of Amestris would see of their future fuhrer. Honestly I wonder why, when people watch anime where characters are about to commit acts of vengeance and are stopped, people encourage the vengeance and become disappointed when they're stopped. Why?

[@Gyarren]

You know, now that I know that Envy's human form is genderless, it actually makes sense. Maybe Envy takes a genderless form because it even further separates them from the humans whom they claim to despise. In one of the episode, there's a flashback where Ed and Al are discussing the "^perfect being" as being genderless. This might suit Envy's taste, because they consider themselves to be so far above the "inferior" humans. It also stands to reason that Envy's massive bestial form is their way of widening the divide between themselves and humanity even more. I think their jealousy stems in part from the fact that he can take on the physical appearance of any other living creature, but can never really belong anywhere; even among their Homunculus counterparts, Envy and Pride are the only ones whose true forms aren't human or humanoid. In a way, they're kind of tragic. they've watched, possibly for centuries, as humans have fought wars, lied, cheated and stolen; and they've been ready, willing and able to escalate the strife...but they've also seen selflessness, devotion, courage and love; and Envy could never be a part of those things, really. And it didn't help that Father didn't really seem to care about his "children"; other than how they could be useful in furthering his own goals. Essentially, all of the Homunculi were just his cast-offs; he didn't even seem to notice or care when they were injured or killed.

so nice to see a FMA video about the characters in my recommended! and this video is so recent! nice! the only thing i have to say about this video is that in the beginning you say that the Philosopher Stone bypasses equivalent exchange, its been a while since i've seen the anime but im pretty sure that the philosopher stones doesn't have infinite value, its just that souls are very versatile have a very high "value" despite being such a small thing, you're still giving something in exchange with the stone, you're just paying with the souls inside of it instead of the traditional "turning a stone slab into a stone statue with the same amount of mass"

Envy is that villain that we love to hate, then simply hate, and then cry when he dies even though we should be happy he's gone. No other villain death has affected me as much as Envy's, not even Greed's. And Greed wasn't even a villain anymore by the end.

I consider Envy a better antagonist and character than Wrath, because Wrath’s fury just seemed so aimless. His ruthlessness was understandable, but his contempt and hatred wasn’t really motivated by much at all. Envy, however, had such a compelling and understandable insecurity at the core, making them a truly tragic and compelling villain.

[@carna-9501]

What was lust's lust? She never really slept with anyone that we know of, yet she is a physically attractive woman who more well endowed than most, what did she lust after, what is it that she coveted? Edit: why is Greed's ability the ultimate shield? It has nothing to do with avarice, unless it harkens to dragons greed, and dragons being nearly invulnerable. Why is wrath's ability the ultimate eye? Wrath is supposed to be a blind rage, wouldn't super human strength make more sense? Sloth has speed and strength, quite ironic considering he's supposed to be lazy, and all he wants is rest, pride has the abilities of father when he was dwarf in the flask, and gluttony can eat everything since he was a failed gate of truth.

[@carna-9501]

@@operandwriter the 2003 anime has a different plot, and different reasons for why the homunculi exist(failed human transmutations create them and then they feed on philosophers stones), brotherhood is the story that everyone prefers because it's better animated, and better written.

[@jeangentry6656]

She had bloodlust.

[@jeangentry6656]

Maybe the Sins special powers are supposed to contrast or reflect the sin they represent, or their personalities? Wrath is said to be blinding yet Wrath has an eye that allows him to see clearly. Greed's shield allows him to protect himself, but it doesn't allow him to protect his prized poessesions. Lust usually brings people intimately close, yet Lust fingers allow her to attack long distance. Sloth has great physical traits, but no will or desire to use them. Pride has his shadows, and shadows can represent darkness, or can used to hide or conceal, esp. The truth of a matter, just as Pride hid his true form behind the alias of "Selim Bradley". Envy can become anyone, but he can never be himself. Gluttony can eat anything, yet never feel full. Perhaps what he truly wants cannot be consumed?

I'd say that the philsopher's stone does not bypass the law of equivilant exchange but acts more like a battery. During it's creation a horrific price was paid and all the people using it are simply collecting the debt. Philospher's stones stop working if they are used constantly. That is when the debt is paid.

Sad envy 😢

[@STUDENT-ch4ch]

Contrary to popular belief the philosopher stone doesn't actually bypass "equivalent exchange", it still obey this law. Equivalent exchange states that to be able to obtain something, something of equal value must be lost or sacrificed. Think of this as a simple business transaction, you pay $ 3.00 for a piece candy of the same price. What the stone does is pay the price without you paying by asking someone else to buy it for you. The souls within the stone is sacrifice for the exchange to happened.

[@averagejohn6691]

Philosopher stones do not bypass equivalent exchange, they use the human souls inside as fuel, thats why they do eventually shatter, though it takes a long time to break them down, just as human alchemy is more than possible, bypassing equivalent exchange was just a simpler explanation offered early and then it was shown that it was there to hide the truth of philosophers stones
