Why do so many people seem to hate Shao Tucker? He was a dedicated scientist who pushed the envelope for the sake of progress. He should have stuck around longer to get a chance at redemption.

That has nothing to do with the storyline.

He was a mediocre alchemist who only got ahead by sacrificing his wife, his daughter and at least two dogs. I have no idea why they even gave him the State certification, his chimeras were pieces of shit compared to the stuff they were already making

NO ONE else was able to make chimeras capable of human speech. Even though he had no other significant accomplishments, this still put him above anyone else in his field. There was still plenty more that could have been done with this character. He left too early in the series.

Greed's entire posse, Darius, Jerso, Zampano, Heinkel. All better than the garbage Tucker was making.

I realize you're trolling, but at least put a little effort into it kid.

Until we meet Greed and his gang. Then we learn such Chimera are not that rare.

I remember next to nothing about Greed in this series. Looks like I'm in for a fun ride here. Heck, I even forgot that Scar was a different race than most of the cast. That massacre...

I don't seem to recall much of this series. Even now that I'm a few episodes in, I realize that I don't remember anything about who/what Sloth is in this show, and I sure there will be a few other points that catch me off guard.

My take on it was that Tucker was more to stay covert than anything else. If someone who makes the "unprecedented" discovery of a talking chimera doesn't become a State Alchemist, people are going to wonder why.

And while I was writing that, I actually thought of another explanation. The guys you see later on are the result of transmuting animal traits onto humans. Assuming that no one actually knew that Tucker used his wife, creating a talking chimera solely from animal parts could be considered impressive.

The 2003 anime keeps Shou Tucker alive past his arc early in the manga and Brotherhood. I don't know if it necessarily tried to redeem him, but it tried to make his fate more tragic.

He also killed people not involved in that event, afterwards.

His actions also caused more suffering. His redemption isnt so much about hey he was justified, it was more about hey, he realizes he could have helped without all the killing

I was thinking along those lines, the fact that Greed's friends escaped is a huge issue if the general populace learns the military is doing human experimentation. Giving Tucker the State certification is a way to wash their hands and cover their asses. Then again, it makes no sense that his certification is in Jeopardy, given they needed him to keep appearences.

Eh, not really. If he's done absolutely nothing noteworthy with his research in years, it's justifiable to give him the boot even if he made such a groundbreaking discovery.

Ugggh...why does this Hughes guy keep talking about his daughter? He is a bit of a nuisance.

Why does he keep physically dragging women around?
