Talk:Alphonse Elric

Photo
What u think about the new photo of Alphonse (from movie 2), I think this suits better.

German?
Is most of this article supposed to be in German? I'm going to attempt to translate it into English. 59.167.129.143 15:19, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Never mind, I see it's both. I'll leave it. Although should we have both langauges? It makes for either a confusing (if you don't speak German) or repetitive (if you do) read. 59.167.129.143 15:25, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

When Alphonse is turned into the Philosopher's Stone he can sustain contact with water, but wether he can live after being shot in his bloodseal we will never know I suppose.

Name trivia.
"Alphonse is named after the Comte, Alphonse de Toulouse-Lautrec, father of the French artist, Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec." - is this from a guidebook or some interview? I think there should be references for such things. --kiadony --talk to me-- 13:45, September 15, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah. I added the note and it came from this book, which I read a few years back. Same with the note about ed being named after Edward scissorhands. Seems to be based off of old interviews in Japan and then translated into English. CorbeauKarasu 14:10, September 15, 2011 (UTC)

Gallery
could we add a gallery to this page since it only has a few pages

No. More pictures may be in order, but they don't need to be in gallery form. Appropriate screenshots can be added wherever they fit the plot and the page. CorbeauKarasu 00:57, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

no i mean seperate pages for example: Alphonse Elric/Gallery

What u think about the new photo of Alphonse (from movie 2), I think this suits better.

I didn't like it; which is why I reverted it the first time. Honestly, the texture and shadow look cool, but I hate how the proportion is off, especially on his torso. It kinda looks like if you had middle schooler who knew how to draw, but hadn't yet polished his skills entirely draw something. "Pretty good, but off". I'm in favor of the older one, and no one else but you has reverted it, so I haven't had any other arguments to the contrary. I blame the skewed proportion on the movie's awful animation style.

Okay, now I'll admit your newest find is quite a good one. Nice job. Tommy-Vercetti 17:19, May 31, 2012 (UTC)

The new picture
I really don't agree with CK. I find little problems with the new picture of Al. It doesn't look cartoony at all; looks like something you'd see on a manga cover.

So I thought I'd ask everyone else and we could put it for a vote, kind of like what we did with Envy.

Which one does everyone else prefer?

The old one:



Or the new:



I prefer the new one, but I'd like to know what everyone else thinks.Tommy-Vercetti 17:45, June 2, 2012 (UTC)

I have to agree with CK on this one, the second picture just looks bulbous and cartoony to me. I like the concept of the second picture better (him getting ready to transmute rather than just sitting there), I just don't like the way it looks. Fullmetal Fan 18:47, June 2, 2012 (UTC)

I think the second is better, but the picture of movie 2 is even better. JPPCouto 12:27, June 3, 2012 (UTC)

Al's Eyes (1st series)
Al's eyes are BROWN in the 1st FMA, not green. They might be hazel, but more likely brown!!!!!

I'm sick of having to edit Al's page over his eye color!!!! They are BROWN Surf Penguin, a Jukebox Hero 00:56, June 3, 2012 (UTC)

His soul
This is something that REALLY bothers me. To bring his soul back to the plane of existance it only cost Ed his arm. So is Als life only worth an arm? The2ndplayer (talk) 10:05, January 11, 2014 (UTC)

I always saw the "toll" as how far they need to progress inside the Gate. And, keep in mind, Al's soul was still within the realm of reach when Ed retrieved it, so, his arm toll was really to reach that length just to catch up to it, not 'for' the soul itself.

Unlike, say, with Trisha, who had already passed on, there was no toll big enough to actually retrieve her soul from wherever it went.Tommy-Vercetti (talk) 19:11, January 11, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't realize the rest of the trolling located in the box. My bad. RollOverTheFloor (talk) 11:19, April 19, 2016 (UTC)

Someone Changed Al's Gender
A user by the name of "Tri Edge the Admin" decided to change Al's gender to female and one of his nicknames to "Armor Girl". Can anyone fix this, it's a small issue, but completely weird. I don't know why anyone would just make that change.
