âThis film has long scenes where thereâs time to illustrate the thought process. Â All Moses does in some of them is to listen, which is very, very challenging. Â To make Moses expressive, we used a lot of what some people call âbottom eyelid animation.â Â Itâs really difficult to suggest what Moses is feeling and thinking when all youâve got to work with are the lines surrounding the eye. Â There were also scenes where most of what I did were very, very subtle head moves, because I want the characters as true, as believable, and as real as possible.â â James Baxter, animator for Moses
âYou canât have a character with big boobs and not sexualise themâ
âThere arenât any feminist female characters that want to do things that are typically feminineâ
âThere arenât any badass gay charactersâ
âThere arenât any cool/badass disabled charactersâ
âOkay well what about disabled POC characters?â
âThere are no interesting or complex villains! None that ever question their morals, or have an interesting motiveâ
âThere arenât any women characters that donât just do things for menâ
âI want a poc character that fights against racismâ
âThere arenât any cool characters that arenât young and healthyâ
âThere are no male characters that like feminine thingsâ
Need I go on? Go watch Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.
Fullmetal alchemist also tackled the issues of imperialism, genocide, PTSD, friendly fire, racism, war brutality, and military corruption unflinchingly. âMost military commanders are killed by their own disgusted soldiers.â indeed.
I just realized that most women in the FMA universe have big boobs and that this isnât even highlighted in the series (or in the manga).
