Reply to comment by toasthaste in Fullmetal Alchemist review by voxpoplar

I agree with the origin of the homunculi being good and used well but makes the idea of them being named after/embodiments of the seven deadly sins not make any real sense lol. What happens if an alchemist tries to bring an eight person back to life? Why do Greed and Gluttony seem more obsessed with their identifies as Sins (sort of at least, they're both big softies (other than, like, the murdering) in the end anyway) while most of the rest of them seem far more defined by their previous lives' identities and not that concerned with the "Sin" thing? Like I said I agree with you that it's a cool idea but it was retrofitted awkwardly onto character with baggage from a completely different idea (that IMO wasn't actually developed as well ironically).`

oh yeah I totally agree, I don't think that was compatible with the deadly sins thing at all, but I think it's more interesting than the deadly sins thing(mostly; the fact that all of their deaths in brotherhood were super ironic[with the possible exception of Lust] really tickles me)
