Oh shit, I didn't see. Ok, just bump this one every 15 minutes or something and migrate here when other one is filled.

I liked how they made the boss villain look just like Blade.
It was all image. He has no personal fighting ability, just connections and money to buy mercenaries.
Alita was right to whack him, of course. He would have been still plenty dangerous.
Isaiah Williams

Levi Martin
It was an accident bro. just stop bumping until the other one reaches limit.
Thomas Cook
here's some talking points:
1. jaw-dropping special effects and world class action sequences (motorball is the best race scene since podracing)
2. very fast-paced, zero filler or drawn out dialogue, packs three story arcs of Gunnm into two hours
3. Alita is cute
Joshua Roberts

>this will be in the big screen The movie that SJWs. Also, post the rest.
I have OP's pic as my desktop background. It's so nice having Alita watch me while I work on my computer. I make sure to leave my pc running before going to sleep so I can tell her good night.
Angel Morgan
SHE IS MY WIFE, ALITA IS MINE, IS THE ONLY THING I LOVE IN THE UNIVERSE, IS MY REASON TO LIVE, MY BEAUTIFUL GODDESS MY ALITA MINE MINE AND ONLY MINE
Michael Morales
>Alita has already made $13 mil its happening anons
>Have you seen it? Yes. >What did you think? To be honest, when I went to Alita the first time, I was expecting it to not be that great. While I had seen the trailer I didn't find it too compelling and Alita's eyes were a little large for my taste. When the movie began I searched for things to dislike but surprisingly there weren't any except a few cringey lines now and again. I got used to Alita's eyes and they became quite cute to me in the end. The story was compelling and I became absorbed into it along with the visuals.
The world of Alita is extraordinary and beautiful. The action scenes are exciting, honestly some of the best ever put to the sliver screen. The story is very quickly paced but not rushed. Alita is an enthralling character, she is kind-hearted, innocent, naive and protective. Throughout the movie Alita grows up and learns about sacrifice, loss, love and the horrors of humanity. Alita is also a quite likeable character because she is such a good person in such a horrible world and you can't help feeling very sympathetic for an innocent being like her as she is exposed to the dysotopian world of Iron City.
I haven't read the magna and still loved the movie. It drew me into the story and I had to watch the movie a second time to relax into and enjoy it all. I will definitely recommend this movie to anyone young or old.
Colton Ramirez
Is it better to watch this BEFORE or AFTER reading the manga?
Like will reading the manga help me better understand what's going on and be more invested in it and make me clap when I recognize something or will it ruin the movie for me because it will feel watered down?
Your choice either way, It's better if you are familiar with Japanese style of story telling because some tropes and the fast-exposition heavy plot might have put off some viewers. It's best to watch it twice, first time is to appreciate the action and the second time is to fully appreciate the story.
Michael Russell
I was tempted to do that once, but went to see some shitty horror movie instead because I didn't want to get weird looks/get asked questions about why I want to see Alita for the second time in a row. Such a bad decision on my part.
Gavin Carter
Watch movie, then read manga.
The movie is enjoyable without previous knowledge and will only increase your interest in the source material.
Hmmm, unless there's like a big push this weekend and next for people to go see it, I don't see Alita topping much more than 90 million at the domestic box office. The foreign market seems good right now, but the US might be stagnating soon.
Movie, then OVA, then manga, to ease yourself into things. Or you can just skip the OVA if you really want, it's just a shittier version of the live action movie.
Blake Butler
>movie gally in that outfit and glasses
Leo Sanchez
It'll bounce up when it hits eastern markets and the weekend
Why are alitafags so fucking new? Why weren't any of them part of Yea Forums even 6 months ago? Why do they constantly lie about this movie being a faithful adaption?
William Walker
I'm only talking about domestic numbers right now, foreign side will be fine. Comparing all the numbers, I think Alita will make around the same exact amount as Blade Runner 2049. How fucking poetic.
its far more faithful than other adaptations, especially western adaptations
we're not going to chase your goalpost the the bottom of the Mariana trench just because you want this movie to be bad
Owen Brooks
So basically, this film will make the exact same amount as Blade Runner 2049, only SLIGHTLY more in the US and around 150 million more foreign side. I think Alita will do just fine making it to 450 million worldwide. Considering how many people are in the US, it makes you wonder why some aren't seeing it.
You are new to Yea Forums user. Head back to Yea Forums and bitch about your precious kiddie manga being adapted into a $200 million global release there.
Samuel Lewis
Hi Alita. How about I punch your dad out right now and you suck on my cock and stick your doll fingers into my asshole?
They see a greater % of the domestic tickets sales I guess
Lincoln Powell

>Alita: Battle Angel Well i saw the trailer in this thread and i already bought tickets to me and my wife (told her its an English detective novel movie ;-) ).
Seriously why? >constant lies about how Yea Forums was >constant lies about this movies quality being great when it's repainted capeshit >constant lies about being faithful >constant hate towards boards that have always been welcomed on Yea Forums >fns are almost always from the last month The list goes on and on. Then when you start exposing them they vanish
William Gray
>no joi/alita waifu why even live
Julian Rodriguez
In the US, only children and people into capeshit or horror movies go to the theater anymore.
Mason Jenkins

Isnt it out in Japan and China now?

>finally go to see Alita's movie >it's 11 AM, the only other people in the theater are an old, presumably retired couple >get ready for the action >door swings open >a smell reaches my nose >terror grips my heart as I recognize the scent >the sound of ebonics reverberates through the theater as a pack of basketball americans shuffles down the aisle >in-fucking-evitably sit directly behind me >the entire movie is punctuated with inarticulate commentary and the occasional cough
But even they couldn't ruin this for me. Pretty good shit, though it took me a while to acclimate to them big ol' eyes.
Isaiah Ortiz
Because you are an obnoxious shit troll, that is why. Go away.
Adrian Morgan
she blends in with real life actors perfectly 90% of the time, which is extremely rare for a CGI character.
Yeah, and in the US there was that one week where temps dropped to way below freezing, literally no one was going outside for a day+ because of it. I actually got frostbite on my foot despite wearing several layers of winter clothing and staying indoors.
Adam Turner
They've proven countless times that they weren't even here for that
ITT: Dedicated Alita hater starts the bating game to derail Alita threads because China blasted his ass off orbit.

Makes me wonder if this weekend or next will have good numbers that equal the first weekend. We'll see.

Brody Barnes
Alita would be in road to be a blockbuster if it werent for her eyes.
Jaxson Morris
I have been laughing making funny faces all evening whenever she asks me about the plot so she probably suspects something.
I dragged her to District 9 and haven't heard the end of that still :D
But she liked Lady in the water :D
Jeremiah Jackson
What a load of crap.
Henry White
That may be true. I remember writing this movie off when I saw footage of it because the eyes were just creepy as shit. Didn't bother going until I heard positivity from the only review that matters: moist meter.
Carter Perry
and you've proven countless times you weren't even here for /reylo/ which was only 6 months ago. Okay. You want me to come in? We start over again?
I've already explained these threads are no different than /reylo/ as they're both being sponsored and babysat by the same team of shills. Sneeds posters have confirmed it too >4plebs man shuts down ghostposting >reylo cancer makes these threads since they have nowhere to go now
Has this been posted? Alita earned $19.75 million in China on Friday. Child molester Scott Mendelson thinks it will open at $65 million for the weekend and total at $143 million if it legs like a typical Hollywood movie.
It's posted before, China shut the troll up and now he is seething at anyone and anything.
Jose Ward
I posted it last thread, the film will definitely get 55 million to 65 million this weekend from China alone. If it holds really well there, it could get 150 million total or more.
Why is Alita still so certain that the motorball champion gets to go to Zalem? They establish the only way to Zalem is through having your meat harvested, they show us in the course of the movie one of the front runners of motorball getting Nancy Kerrigan'd, but she still believes that you'll actually be taken away to the sky city by being the best. Seems to me like there are fewer better ways to keep the game interesting and competitive than killing off the top dog and claiming that he's just reached paradise.
I could understand why everyone else buys it, but why does she believe it?
Adam Clark
I've been here since 2013
Ayden Ramirez
At this point I can't tell the newfag alitashills from the falseflaggers
Michael Flores
I want this to hit 60% on RT and stay there. It's at 59% right now, but the low end of 59% (59.09).
She watched the trailer but didn't diss it immediately but she made me promise to take her on a pub round after the movie - so Alita Battle Angel 3D here we come (tomorrow at 21:00 hours) :D
Jacob Long
I liked the movie, but I'm highly amused by this post.
>Alita, meaning little wing >basically a fallen angel >goes into the underworld to shed naivety and through an explosive and painful trial grow up >in the process of growing up acquires more adult, sexual body and better command of it, discovering better feelings, including sexual >the enemy in omnipresent immortal being explicitly described as dragon (= devil) >Hugo gets a second life in an old church >(Jeru)Zalem is heaven from which certain special people were cast out for opposing the ruling deity or ran away themselves in an act of rebellion >for normal people Zalem represents heaven and ultimate dream of freedom, but you can only get there after effecitvely dying or reaching great enlightment (winning in the local sports competition, liable to get more poignant if they go through with Jashugan)
Rodruigez! You spilled Symbolism for Children all over my movie you hack!
>didn't stop to explain why Alita isn't wanted for murder after storming into Factory 33
Yeah, I was wondering about that, too. Why is there not a price on her head but Hugo was framed in a matter of minutes?
Adrian Edwards
>They stole it from the ZOTT in LO and didn't stop to explain why Alita isn't wanted for murder after storming into Factory 33 They did stop to explain it. Nova explicitly let her off the hook to see what happens.
Joseph Green
who said you had to kill a cyborg to turn them into a washing machine?
Easton Clark
She probably is, but so what? She wrecked the robo-police force in about 20 seconds- who is going to arrest her?
this is 100% unadulterated cringe see in the late 2010s we’re finally witnessing the “maturation” of a generation of zoomers who grew up giggling at the greentext subreddit and similar places where hackneyed memes go to die HAHA FEDORA HAHA WEEABOO ANIME PERSON HAHA THE REDDIT ALIEN you could write a simple algorithm to churn these “greentexts” out they’ve lost all flare and originality
and yes I’m just butthurt because I loved the movie
Samuel Gutierrez
This film is so fucking fascinating to follow. From what I've gathered now, the film will perform about the same, just a tiny above, Blade Runner 2049 in the states. However, if China continues to love it, it will pull Ready Player One numbers foreign side, since Alita is outpacing Ready Player One in almost every country and having similar Asian numbers.
That's pretty much the only logical explanation; Nova is in rabu
Jackson Anderson
Uhhhh.... HAD a boyfriend, user.
Jack Smith
Why are you so new?
Jayden Walker
you don't torrent the movie you buy it, if you ever want to see a sequel
Adrian Garcia
Ido also says its the only way to Zalem and he would know since he lived there. He also wouldn't let her compete if she's just going to be dissected. On the other hand, Vector was the guy sending people to Zalem and he only sends body parts. It's a conundrum.
Josiah Reyes
Just look at her go
Alexander Mitchell
She never killed any people or cyborgs, only the securitrons, and they were only there to protect Victor - who she ends up killing anyway. If anything, she'd only get a heavy fine for destroying property (which she could easily pay off with her motorball winnings). I haven't read the manga yet, but that was how I understood the movie.
Adrian Roberts
And I was really happy for her while she had one, seriously, the longer she can keep smiling the happier I get.
You download you entire blowjob porn collection into her mind (she watches it at the rate of the data transfer). She's now an *expert* cocksucker.
Christopher Rodriguez
No, Nova literally says to her through Vector that she won't be charged with any crime to which she replies that she doesn't need his permission to live. Nova let her go for whatever Nova reasons he had.
Colton Roberts
YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A HANDBAG YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A TELEVISION YOU WOULDN'T HURT AN ALITA
Kayden Roberts
You better wash and clean your anus first user, Alita is a classy girl who doesn't stick fingers up random peoples dirty shit caked bumholes.
You know manga's sales in the US will also lend a big part its shares toward the movie's earning due to cross-promotion right? Without the movie, none will know about Alita. So if your effort was to damage the sequel chance, you should have told him not to do anything at all.
Why do I become a weeb when drunk? I haven't any inhibitions about it when sober I'm just not interested. But when drunk I get giant urges to watch anime and listen to high pitched weeb songs and what not. I hope Alita gets a sequel, I enjoye it sober.
Like legit, I don't know why I'm so obsessive about the numbers, but if Alita really pulled 20 million on Friday, and then it pulls slightly more Saturday, this fucking movie could make more than Ready Player One in it's opening weekend. WE HAVE TO GIVE THE CHINESE ALL OUR ENERGY! SHOW THEM SUPPORT!
>undresses to literally give him her heart, instead of showing her boobs, like some in the audience were sure she would She's too pure, we don't deserve her.
She keeps gets hotter every time I look at her. What's happening to me? Is this instrumentality?
Jacob Ortiz
It was cheezy on the surface. It has deeper meaning though in that most everyone in the city is a shitty person even if outward appearances are that of a good person. At least that is what I took from it.
Wait a minute where IS all the Shadman stuff of Alita? I was kind of expecting him to make some degenerative shit by now and then have people spam it all over the site.
Yes. What versions have you seen? standard, imax 2d,3d?
Owen White
>expecting anything else from a marketer
Jayden King
It's too sweet. I'm working on removing that chink writing to actually print it.
Dylan Ramirez
why are woman like this? if there was a movie about a dude with a cyborg body who shapeshifts to have bigger muscle and dick, every dude on the planet would just laugh it off
Then paint me red and give me a manifesto for I no longer desire capitalism
Jack Kelly
what's the typical timeline for a bluray release? I want to start taking screens and webms asap
Owen Rogers
i like it too
Jacob Ross
I'm reading manga right now and oh boy, Ido didn't deserved any of this shit. I thought that movie background was done better but this particular story is actually pretty well done.
Dr. Ido was the much more interesting character. A cybernetic surgeon exiled from the upper echelon who becomes a bounty hunter with a rocket pick as his weapon is the coolest shit. I'd watch a movie about that, Alita be damned.
Xavier Young
You should stop after the original 9 books as sequels are Naruto-tier trash.
Tyler Clark
>born sexy yesterday trope While I understand how it could be seen as such on the surface, it's actually completely off the mark, because Alita doesn't get led by anybody except for her own emotions and instincts, yes, her infatuation with Hugo is definitely a catalyst to a part of her growth, but it's not the only defining relationship she has, and how she deals with it is also not dictated by Hugo so it's not really born-sexy-yesterday trope as much as it is a wide-eyed youth going through first love in shape compeletely appropriate for that. She's hardly a literal baby like Leeloo from the Fifth Element.
David Gray
>feminist >hates boobs why do they hate female traits?
Cameron Parker
Feminism is one giant shit test. They're just trying to see if they can get away more and more ridiculous stuff. Time and time again, you let them.
>LO is still god-tier. >Chapter XYZ >They fight >Some pseudo philosophical lesson >they win >they fight next fag >new pseudo philosophical lesson, the last one is no longer valid >fucking sidekicks are commenting how cool Alita is all the time >they win >they fight next fag ...
It's gay and you know it.
Asher Parker
Is anyone currently making a movie about a man who fights with his massive engorged dick as a flail? Or would that work better as a video game?
Julian Miller
>His weapon was awesome Kek, I read this as "his weapon was autism"
surprised nobody talks about that scene, it's fucking creepy. Hope Connelly comes back.
Jeremiah Rivera
Thanks for confirming you're a brainlet and didn't understand it.
Connor Wright
This just flopped in Japan, its going to make less than the average superhero movie there. Which makes next to nothing Also remember that studios only get back 22% of the box office gross in China so all in all this flick is destined to flop pretty badly now sequel pretty much dead
We got a doomer over here folks. But for the sake of argument, you got a source on that Japan number?
Easton Wood
people talk about it often. in how it establishes citizens of salem have brains. because how the movie deviates in stupid ways is really all that's notable about it.
Can somebody tell me why this movie enraged the pos sjws? (Pos stands for pieces of shit but I guess that's redundant as sjw are pieces of shit). Is it Maybe inverse psychology to get people to see a movie that's actually sjw to the core?
Connor Barnes

Jace Williams
>inverse psychology you have to be 18 to post here.
Gavin Morales
Again, I'm living in your head, rent free. I have seen you delusion in all Alita's threads, fighting with multiple people, accusing them of coming from multiple places where you all seem to have frequented but somehow you are superior by accusing them. Do you have any mental illness user? Seek help.
Henry Garcia
Chiren's eyes were still moving around wtf man
Andrew Baker
Venusians. They look disgusting, but they got the right idea. Bioengineering is the shit.
Does anyone have any actual Japan numbers, or will we not know anything 'till tomorrow? Literally the only post I've seen for one is some fag's guess on box office theory forum.
Nobody cares about your holy Japanese comic book for children, user.
Jacob Thomas
that´s not taichi that´s wing chun.
Connor Butler
>zombie-nazis >post-apocaliptic vampires Not a problem, huh? Quality plot. The politics part is filler. zit's all fucking filler. I don't care. The original series ended like it should.
Parker Butler
Nobody does, yet.
Jack Myers
Whatever the numbers are they are gonna be HUUUUUUGE!
"Strong female character" done right - Alita has her incredible strengths but she is also extremely naive and trusting (as someone who was literally born yesterday should be). OG designs kept for the movie - meaning there is a black antagonist (it's 2019, h-how c-could they) and Alita isn't a landwhale or a deformity hit by the wall like Brie in Captain Marvel, but a cute teenage girl (triggering overweight 30-something journos all over the world)
Reverse psychology, inverse, whatever, idiot. Also if someone can reply with intellectual honesty please. Why is this movie hated by sjw bigots? After a quick glance it seems to be aids-filled with sjw propaganda so what's up? Only intellectually honest answers and not imbeciles like this cretin I'm replying too. Cretin, fucking idiot imbecile. Fucking dog raping idiot.
Andrew Morris
>triggering overweight 30-something journos all over the world
There are two types of sjw: - Professional sjw are "critics" who shills for Disney to prevent Alita doing any disruptions to Captain Wahman. The Disney-Fox deal will close in Jun 2019 and billions are on the line. - NPC sjw: follow professional sjw because they can't think for themselves, and they are jealous that people like Alita more than their version of feminism.
Easton Howard
i tried to read your post but i was bored within the first sentence
>I am which is why I'm concerned about outsiders like you invading You have done this to about 10 people. whom if you had any brain cells, would know that they are different individuals. At the time I just sat back and smirked. Now that you've come after me as well, I'm fully appreciated the extent of your autism.
