If I sympathise with him then I might change my mind. But the preview looks awesome: a fight between Wrath and Lin/Greed. It looks like Wrath's win though... am I right? (find out in next episode)

I would also add a theory for revenge since he is Wrath after all. And remember that at the time of the explosion Alphonse was being held captive by Pride so he probably wouldn't have been able to blow the train up and as such not worthy to go after when those apparently responsible for it were just up ahead taking his country away and turning his wife against him.

And of course we shouldn't leave out the "theory" that is was just a filler scene and no one though this question might turn up because of it

Wrath intent on revenge, eh? I don't know. Bradley is usually surprisingly calm for being Wrath. Sort of like Lust, who never really acted that lustful, and Pride who doesn't have a really big ego. But Gluttony, Greed, and Sloth.... They're the more extreme side.

FMA is a shounen manga, it'd have been kinda hard for Lust to act truly lustful. She seduced and used Havoc with her feminine charms, that's good enough IMO.

and wrath is battle hungry, with a subdued rage

Haha, true enough about the shounen manga bit! And I doubt her sex life would have had much relevance to the story anyways.

Hmm, maybe. But if it's subdued, then it's not really enough to classify as a "sin" I think. I mean, if he has a temper then he seems to keep really good control of it. Then again, naming them after the "sins" doesn't mean they literally embody those sins, so it's probably fine.

I think his sin has been...muted by his partial humanity. As has been noted previously, he's only got the one soul anyway, so it's possible that his innate wrath has been lessened because of that as well... Notice how Greed appears to be slightly less greedy as Greedling than he was as Greed 1.0.

Wrath does have a fair amount of wrath. Remember how he was angry at Elecia's crying at Hughes' funeral. I think he just channels it well. He has to keep a fairly steady head about himself as ruler of the country, after all... His Eye may assist him in that as well. Rather than being in a constant blind rage, he's just in a constant rage... ^_^
