See me doubting life

When I saw it at first, it was recognized as a pit with zero-discrimination reviews. When I saw the first dozen or twenty episodes, I still felt very bored. I thought that this might be a slow-burning type, and maybe it would be great later; In the later stage, there are several bugs in a row that make me doubt my life. I searched the discussion about steelmaking and found that almost all of them are bragging about God's work. Does anyone feel that there is a problem? (Although they are all about 09, I haven't seen it yet).

——————————————————————————————

First of all, I think the rhythm of the plot before 03 is too slow. The reason why it feels slow to me is probably that there are too many unnecessary parts in the story, which is a bit like the first dozens of episodes of tutoring. Especially the whole episode of Siren, when I was watching it, I was full of black question marks, why tell this story? It doesn't help the main story, and if you look at it as a story similar to a side story, it's not novel and interesting at all, it's quite boring, and you can just cut it off. . .

Next, let’s talk about the problems with the plot. It’s probably not limited to these. Let’s talk about what I remember: 1. After the bookworm Wendy and the two were discovered by Sloth, although the first silence was interrupted, why did the androids not chase after them? Kill them and let them go back to their hometown? ? 2 The snake girl (forgot her name) knew that the president might chase after her at any time, why didn't he let Al run away and tell him the information, did he think that the president didn't know that Al was hollow and could hide people in it? ? Al all knew that the President was an artificial human. Watching the President come over, he still didn't expect that he would kill the Snake Girl? ? The president knows that Snake Girl has probably told Al in the hideout, why didn't he stop Al, the androids seem to know how to get rid of Al's soul attachment, right? ? I... 3 Chief, you dare to go directly to the little black room to fight the president alone. I thought you were as strong as Levi, but I didn't expect you to beat him at all. German, Snake Girl, Da Zuo), how come they can't beat one or two of them, but they still rush to take revenge? Can't you use your brains to think carefully and carefully plan a more effective way to retaliate before taking action, or you can't just give your life for nothing if you just think about it and die? 4 Al, why did you suddenly become a Virgin? ? ? , I, I, I... I really liked Brother Al's QAQ. 5. Russ remembered some memories and then suddenly wanted a mother desperately to resurrect her mother. He always felt a little blunt and unprepared. There seem to be a lot of twists in the plot like this, but I can't think of other specific ones. Rust's defection had been foreshadowed a long time ago that she was confused by her past.

I only watched Steelmaking after watching the third season of Giants, and just... I feel that the people in Steelmaking are too lax. It's obviously a battle show, not a daily show. They don't have the kind of awareness of being in a dangerous situation and fighting state. (Those cited above are examples of this). To be like Ed, who refuses to kill even the enemy, put it in a giant, you let the enemy kill the enemy in the next second, okay? Steel gives me the impression that Grid seems to be killed by the enemy. The protagonist's behavior of not killing people has been influenced, and I have to say that even the villains in the steelmaking are very kind. . . And Aide is actually fighting the five scumbags and still acting alone to fight a bunch of people who can't be beaten by himself. In this way, he will not die. If he is a giant, if he dares to deviate from the plan and go to death, he will really die. He couldn't escape (Alan saw his teammates being eaten recklessly and rushed forward, so he was eaten by the giants, if he hadn't found out later that his father had given him super powers, he would have died at the very beginning).

There is also a plot problem that will give me a bad impression. I don't know why I can always guess the plot development. Is it because after all, it is an animation from 17 years ago. Is the routine already relatively old? (Although in fact, many stories will have problems that can make many people guess the routine).

Some people have summarized that there are often three situations in the plot. The first one, you can guess the result and process, but you want to confirm the result and process; the second one, you can guess the result, but not the process, so you are very Want to confirm the process; third, you can't guess the result, you can't guess the process, so you want to confirm the result and the process. I can often guess the result but don't know the process (for example, seeing that Hughes loves his wife and daughter very much, I know that he must die; halfway through the animation, I made up the ending of Al's bloodstain. And the armor was smashed. Ed put himself in the door in order to get him back. I was afraid that Al knew that it would be very painful for him to sacrifice himself, so he threw Al's memory related to him in the door. .) But well, I'm not too interested in confirming the process?. This is kind of boring.

——————————————————————————————

Let's talk about character creation. I personally understand that there are three modes of characterization, one is [sharp angle] the protagonist 9 points, other supporting roles 5~2 points, such as steel; the second is [a hexagon with a protruding corner], the protagonist 9 points other important Characters score about 7 points, such as full-time; the third is [balanced hexagon], 6~8 points for all main characters, no protagonist or the protagonist's charm is not as good as supporting roles, such as Game of Thrones, Giant.

Everyone has their likes and dislikes. I like two and three, not the first. One of the main reasons why I don't like steelmaking is that only Ed [is particularly likable], and everyone else feels very average to me. Except for Brother Al and Hughes, I can't achieve [somewhat like] The level is [almost no sense], so when I look at many tragedies in the steel mill, it can't resonate with me, it makes me feel like oh they are dying, but my heart is not fluctuating. . . (Although such a setting will make people focus on Ed.) One of the things I like about the character mode of Giant is that although it has a protagonist, who it chooses to be the protagonist is actually just choosing a main character who sees the world. Perspective, not: he is the protagonist, the protagonist has the aura of the protagonist, and the advantages are piled on him. Even if there are faults, they can only be small innocuous problems used to make him close to a mortal, but he must not grow into a person with disgusting big faults. So you all gave me love and love for him. There is an obvious difference between Giant and Steel, that the protagonist of the Giant, like other characters, mainly serves the plot, while the story of Steel mainly serves the protagonist. An interesting experience that belongs to the protagonist, such as the Phantom Thief Siren in Steelmaking, but it does not have much effect on the main storyline. In the first season of Giants, it is put into a side story, because it is easy to break the first place because of this kind of storyline. The kind of hopeless and dark atmosphere that Ji has always created; but the steelmaking is placed in the feature film, because the steelmaking is mainly to follow the growth experience of the protagonist brothers all the way to shape them.

Fullmetal Alchemist quotes

  • Alphonse Elric: Brother, it turns out the Philosopher's Stone may very well be real. But all the clues we need to finding it are off limits to everyone except State Alchemists. Since I no longer have a mortal shell, I can't feel the terror you felt, thinking you were going to die. It must have been very painful and lonely. I want my body back Brother. I want to be able to feel what you felt, to feel human again. If we find the Philosopher's Stone, I can have that.

    Edward Elric: When I was certain he was going to kill me, my mind went blank, and I didn't have any hope anymore. All I could do was scream my lungs out. I felt so helpless, I couldn't even bring myself to believe someone might save me. And then you showed up Al, and I realized that if we don't take care of each other then no one else will. So I'll do anything in my power to get our bodies back, even if it means being the militaries lap dog. And we'll just have to hope our powers are good enough to help us rise above our own limits. Because we're not Gods, we're humans, tiny insignificant humans. Who couldn't even save a little girl.

  • Alphonse Elric: Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of equivalent exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth.
