I think a 6-7 part mini-series on the origin of each canonical human before and the short time after being changed by 'Father' with a stone would be great

I think a 6-7 part mini-series on the origin of each canonical human before and the short time after being changed by 'Father' with a stone would be great

I would like to know if there is any remnant of the original humans still in conflicting mental talks with the sin persona, similar to Greed and Ling Yao?

Ling Yao's fate suggests that a stone was put in a human each time, but if that's the case, it conflicts with the "true essence" form of homunculi like Pride and Envy.

Is there any HIDDEN poetic symbolism behind the offensive & defensive abilities of the 7 homunculi that perpetuates their sins/names?? I feel like there is nuance that went over my head due to plot.

  • Gluttony: spitting ...air....like bullets? I don't know... (I WILL say that it doesn't seem like 'Father' really disjointed himself from gluttony if he was seeking to have the power of "God" itself)
  • Lust: having those claws to pierce one's "defences" to get closer to them (sexually)?
  • Greed: having carbon armour to prolong lifespan and survive retaliation while taking what they want from others?
  • Envy: self-explanatory.
  • Pride: ....?
  • Wrath: ....?
  • Sloth: being the fastest in order to be useful & effective when necessary, so they can maximize their time being lazy & inert?
