Really not the same thing . CG scene was just so ridiculously out of place and pretty much came out nowhere . It being a meme just ties together the fact that most people also plain hated Nina . The FMA meme is an actual traumatic moment that people miss out on . And when I say miss out it ' s because everyone praises the fuck out of Brotherhood so people just go for that one . You don ' t really get enough time to feel the impact of it since Brotherhoods beginning is kinda rushed . The first section of FMA 2003 was way , way better than Brotherhood and that includes the buildup to this specific moment that is meme ' d . Also while we are spewing out unpopular opinions If the ending of FMA 2003 would have been better then it would have outclassed Brotherhood in every way .
