So I'm following this, and also understand that brotherhood is following the manga's story and such, noticing the major differences between the first anime and this. I don't like how they shit canned Greed right off the bat and was absorbed into Hohenheim's body. (Though I did like the part where Greed said don't cry to him when he gives him a stomach ache.)
Secondly, WTFBBQ!!! I don't like how Mustang burnt the crap out of Maria Ross when she was framed for the death of Hughes that scene was just fucked up. =/
Greed's existence and early death in the manga made it a lot more sense than the first stupid anime. It answered the question of why they were named after the 7 deadly sins in the first place, not just some random bullcrap mutilated bodies that ate philosopher's stones and were given names just for the hell of it. Also, the burning of Ross was f*cked up indeed but
it was a good way to deceive us in making us think that Mustang would fall so low to revenge. We find out it was just a setup and it was a good one at that, but we later on learn that Mustang truly would have been that type of character if he found the real killer. Mustang was too smart to know it wasn't Maria Ross. When he finds Envy though, we see that same look and anger he had during that time he faked Ross's death, but with more wrath.
