If I were the author and my anger driven character got changed into self loathing type, I would be displeased. As an author I would want to see MY idea on screen, not someone's else for I have already seen million of those.
As an author I would be interested to see alternatives that other people could come up with but with a promise that I will get my idea on screen too.
With that said, I'm glad to have 1999 version and this one since now we have both original and slight alternative. In all honesty I wouldn't mind a 3rd take which would be totally different like original FMA series. But that's it no more.
Though we are getting movie with alternative setting for my fave arc so I'm already satisfied.
Anyway, we just need to wait until Greed Island arc is done and then comparisons to 1999 version will finally end.
