fullmetal alchemist was nuts because “theres a crazy murderer who was executed for his crimes and then had his soul implanted in a suit of armor as part of a twisted government experiment” is a D-plot at best
correction: this was actually three characters i just forgot about the other two because they had a more minor role and they were two mass murderers in a trenchcoat pretending to be one mass murderer
“But where’s that light coming from” BITCH IT’S FANTASY WHO CARES
but also I don’t give a fuck if it’s fantasy or Gritty Reality. light your fuckin scenes properly because film is a visual medium and you’re meant to be telling me a story through visual information. I promise you I will not be as irritated by a slightly non-diagetic light source as by being Literally Squinting To Partially Make Out Some Of What’s Happening On Screen
