It's *NOT* going to be the end for FMA.

I will bet to you that Hollywood producers are in negotiations for the rights to adapt the Manga and i'll bet we will get at least a live action big budget trilogy before there will be no more of FMA. And you know what? I have nothing against it. I actually think they could take the story to some interesting places. And beside, it will introduce FMA to most of the mainstream American audience..

Also.. The setting of the show/Manga is an alternative Germany, so that mean no race problem if they won't cast Asians for the roles..

...Stupid "alternative Germany" thing aside?

THERE ARE ASIAN CHARACTERS IN FMA. HELLO?

But mostly, I'd be more scared about them casting Scar as a white guy than the Xinguese. After racebending fail, I wouldn't be surprised if they would completely miss the point of the Ishval war by getting some tanned action actor. Gag!

When you say her subplot will get cut off, what you mean is she'll get stuffed in a refrigerator so Ling can have REAL CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT this will provide the impetus for him to hack into the Matrix and link up with Greed.

I really like Lan Fan, but I LOL'd so hard at this XDDDD

Nah, I just think she won't lose her arm or have any memorable moments, but if they want to stick to the manga a bit, Ling might still become Greed because... uh, the script says so? And some Hollywood characters are just that dumb and don't need reasons/character development/lack of them to make decisions. Thus, more plotholes.

Or maybe Ling would only be the POC kung fu comedy relief sidekick for Ed, so they'll completely drop the Greedling part. Not that they'd have time for all homunculi anyway, especially repeats.
