AceMos posted... healing alchemy was always treated different
No, Xing's alchemy was treated different and more focused on healing. Manipulating biological matter with Amestris' alchemy is very notoriously shown to be possible with Nina and Alexander. The thing that's shown to be impossible is bringing the dead back to life.AceMos posted... and actually the 2003 anime flat out denies the the entire idea of equivalent exchange dante flat out proves the philosophy wrong edward was 100% unable to counter anything she said because she was correct equal work does not mean equal return
She wasn't referring to the alchemy law of equivalent exchange with that speech. She was referring to Ed and Al viewing it as a way of life. She's basically saying "life isn't fair" using the law of equivalent exchange as a metaphor. At least that's how I've always perceived it

hell every homunculus battle for every character is just about hitting them hard no need to be clever about how you beat them unlike in 2003
I must admit I don't recall how
most of the homunculi were defeated in '03
