to me envy from fma 2003 is a better written character because he has better motivation and clear objective to understand what he wants to achieve. we dont get to know what Envy from fmab true goal really is until the second half of fmab. envy from fmab acts like a confused character but in a evil way.

Envy in FMA Brotherhood is way better in my opinion. Envy in Brotherhood actually shows way more character development you know who he is what he’s about snd how both cunning and manipulative he is but he also has the ability to transform, shapeshift and he really shows his weak vulnerable side when he’s just a small bug and he should so much pain you end up feeling sorry for him when he kills himself. The way he interacts with Ed and Roy Mutane was also great in Brotherhood. He is definitely a way more 3 dimensional character in Brotherhood. In the original FMA he is just sort of there. He appears from time to time and he still kills Hughes like in the original but we don’t really see him interact that much with the rest of characters apart from the humunclus and Wrath but that’s about it. His goal might have been oblivious from the start but nothing is done to build up on that or his plan and we never actually find out his true intentions or ultimate goal he just sort of appears randomly than that’s it no real interactions with the characters.

I dont really care about envy much in both series. Greed is a more interesting character in both. Well, fmab has more contrast adding him with ling. But still 2003 version is much more better than og greed

Envy in fmab is just too good especially at the end,he is my favourite of all 7 homoculi but envy of fma didn't reached that level for me

I think every single villain except lust and sloth are better in fmab ( sloth is a whole character change and lust just had more screentime)

Envy is a toss up since both are great IMO(but people lean a little bit more towards the FMAB version).


I think Lust and Sloth are the homunculus that people would agree is better in FMA(Lust in FMA was amazing compared to the one from FMAB).

Envy was a mid character until he got bodied by Marco in part 4. Haven’t watched the og fma. But in fmab he just ended as a “good” character.

I'll go as far as saying it's not just envy FMA 2003 is better than FMAB in some other aspects too and both the endings are one of the best and most satisfying ones I've seen

Envy have better backstory in 03 version but his character development in FMAB makes me prefer brotherhood version of envy more than 03.

I didn't like any of the FMA 2003 Homunculi tbh. So by default I like FMAB Envy more than 2003 Envy. Sorry not sorry.

Tbh I think they both represent the sin "envy" in their own unique ways pretty well, although I felt like the manga made it seem a bit deeper than 2003 with the whole Mustang scene

Every homunculi in FMA was better than FMAB imo. The villains are so poorly written in FMAB, Envy being one of the worst ones, so I'll stick with 03.
