Alita: Flopping Angel
>It's now very possible we'll end up seeing pic related in a movie
It's going to be kino.
Based China.
I just ate like six oranges
wtf they're so good
/fa/shionita
the reporter/serial killer guy was such a nice side character
> First for $85 million domestic.
You're eating chocolate she gives you this look what do
your waifu is ready, sir
Reminder - this is why mouseniggers are in panic mode.
Cameron, don't you fucking forget it
Den is just too cool for us.
>Finish the mission: destroy Jeruzalem
wtf Cameron
space nazis
I appreciate how the first 10 minutes was just moments of her eating.
ORANGEARITA YO
Based Brazilians. But seriously post the stats for the word "Avengers" minus endgame. I expect it would completely dwarf Alita worldwide
even worse, space hegelians
MODS? WHY DO YOU ALLOW THIS BLATANT SHILL THREAD OVER AND OVER EVERY DAY?
>$15 QUADRILLION MEGABUX
>WHY DO YOU ALLOW ONE GENERAL INSTEAD OF 20 THREADS FLOODING THE BOARD?
Are you legally retarded?
>cock sucking lips
is that a grewishka scene?
Alita kill capeshit.
She doesn't have eyes as big as alita for some reason
>11 Captain Marvel threads up
>Brazil is the only non-cucked country left in the americas
>they haven't scene alita yet
>they don't know why these threads exist
Russian cyberpunk bot.
So why didn't the urm just destroy the spire to collapse the whole city? What's the point in running up the tubes from ground level? Why was Alita's squad even on ground level?
i mean if you want us to spread the word all over Yea Forums i guess we can instead of containing things here
>he doesn't know about takokuchi
user-kun, it's part of her character.....
This post just confirmed for me that I shouldn't go see it.
Of course he is. He's a gigantic, full metal quadrupedal Bane.
He's what /pol/ would be if /pol/ was a big centaur robot.
>$700 mi in China and Japan alone
>Brazil elects Based ultra right-wing president
>taste in movies automatically improves
your loss faggot
Because, as Den finds out at the end of the original manga, Zalem is protected by a very powerful forcefield.
Nah, it's too far from release. The shill campaign hasn't even started yet.
Give her some and give her a kissu
its has a defensive shield
Contrary to the newfag belief, Alita's main feature is the "octopus" lips, not the big eyes.
>tripfag being an absolute faggot
Who woulda thunk it?
hahaha back to fresh on RT now, critics coming back around??
So is Alaska
ALITA SAVE ME AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
he's basically a mental illness given its own body
>REEEEEEEEEE STOP POSTING THINGS I DON'T LIKE
>SHILL! SHILL! SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lmao
top critics have already dug their own graves
pathetic
>alaska is just as blue as rest of US
what? also alaskan here, they're faggots up here, no real difference from the rest of the country
While Alita is pretty poular here around the 30+ boomers, guess that got inflated from chicken wings recipes.
And this is why Nova is the best dad ever.
Yeah thats pretty much why sci fi is the go to source for adaptations.
MOLE
>Domestic US Gross: $60 million
Your country does not deserve such a weapon
>namefag
>tripfag
Why are brazilians and russians so alike? They live in completely different parts of the world, completely different cultures yet act almost the same way.
There needs to be a way for the audience to rate critics.
Yup that's jackie right there.
I just noticed you excluded the "edition" crap. Thanks OP. Looks better now.
den "dropping redpills like i'm gonna drop tiphares" barjack
You're no fun. I like the editions.
Wow that's no way to talk to Gally.
Based.
Alita's surviving replicas developing their own personalities that are radically different from hers (despite starting as complete 1:1 copies) is one of the few actual cool scifi ideas in Last Order.
>That part where Nova creates an invincible mecha to defend his daughteru from Kaos
>That part where he makes the ultimate sacrifice by accepting to give Alita a spoonful of flan.
Cameron needs to bring this to life : it will transcend kino.
They're a mark of stale, cancerous generals that have overstayed their welcome on a board.
Alita cortar cabezas!
why are all A:BA antagonists so fucking good?!
-w-what's above that
When alita kicked his arm off, and he went back for repairs the first time.
Why do they even let androids compete in the ZOTT? It's battlebots at that point.
another city ;)
you should also ask yourself
>wheres the counterweight?
Based retarded bimbo Alitas.
The Jews.
Thst moment when Hugo wakes up and she is sitting on his window is great, her outfit was top cute/sexy. It's adorable coz you know she is trying to look more human for him and therefore starts using eyeliner and cute clothes. Alita is an angel!
I eagerly await the polite, high quality discourse we'll get if Sechs ever makes it into a movie.
*ahem*
fuck this frail, crazed world and fuck the second law of thermodynamics
sorry I can only talk in memes
Wait...Alita hasn't released in Brazil, and russia yet?
...
>Does it bother you, that I'm not completely human?
> is one of the few actual cool scifi ideas in Last Order
You're not on Yea Forums. You can stop pretending to dislike Last Order to fit in.
Worse.
Space niggers.
so that jupiter can include their grotesquely overtuned war machines to place final against venus every time
(formerly known as alita-6)
You can take me out of Yea Forums but you can't take Yea Forums out of me.
Now why did you hafta give mouseniggers the perfect meme to spam in these threads.
Alita a cute!
Oh he might have went on living but he made one fatal slip
When he tried to match the waifu with the big iron on her hip
Alita? more like Lolita
haha just a joke :-)
>Does it bother you, that my box office sucks?
It's been out there for 10 days.
Read the manga.
So wait a minute, am I to understand that the city isn't being propped up, but being dangled? Also does that mean Nova isn't nearly as powerful as he's suggested to be? Did the URM know about this or did it come after the war?
Yeah, given the political situation in the current year, Sechs might be a tricky character to add. personally, I'd want femSechs to appear alongside other Alita Replicas in the third movie. AR-2 and AR-10, the only two replicas to appear in the original manga, weren't even real characters. As such, they can get shelved without it being a big loss, as long as the alita replcias remain a thing we see in the movie.
flan gang represent
There's always a bigger fish.
RISE UP FLANNERS!!
>Space niggers.
based $700 mi poster
It was tethered to the ground with a column below as well, connected to another city up top which caused the equalization between forces of gravity and centrifugal force. The pipes keep it tethered on the ground I assume, otherwise it would fly off and break into a bunch of messy pieces.
Saw it today. It was pretty nice. I still did not like the eyes. youtube.com
I've read the manga (both original and LO) and it kinda blows. There's some pretty imaginative and unique imagery here and there but the story is meandering and unfocused and the whole thing feels wildly derivative for when it came out, and just when it seems like it wants to go for some clever idea it ruins it with 80s B-movie grotesque that's inserted for funsies rather than making a point. It's really no wonder Gally is a niche girl wonder, not a widespread hit.
After seeing the movie my wife said she wants that mushroom plushie.
The old Viz translation has its charms but the muddy scans are really no way to appreciate Yukito's linework
what if i told you there are more than just 1 elevator?
why u no rike my eyes gaijin?
>tumblr/twitter memes
>that geographical breakdown
The USA really is a nigger country.
So Grewishka's line makes more sense. How many cities are there? Also this was around during the URM war right? Does Zolem have the same view of the city above them that iron city has of Zolem?
>Play it again, Johnny Guitar...
>What holds it up?
>MAGIC?
there should've been more Motorball in the trailers
youtube.com
Jazz Alita is cute! A CUTE!
No, but seriously, I really, really want more of this.
i bet you that 95% of the audience thinks its some form of gravity engine
>"No, something better. Engineering."
Considering all the other religious themes in the film, this was another shot at the concept of religion.
it used to be tied to the ground with a column so you could actually go up the elevator from the ground
the tubes are slacking as well, in the manga at least they are used to send goods up to tiphares from the factories below, the city is quite reliant on the surface
How does Salem stay up?
Let them. This is the sort of universe that has way more lore in it than it actually needs to make its point.
Is Last Order worth reading? I hear it gets CUHRAZY.
What I thought, or that the tubes doubled as strong foundations.
i almost do not want to spoil it
it's a space elevator left over from a more forward-thinking era, it uses an orbital ring and a sister city in space to hang down via centrifugal force
Goddamn, look at how toned that ass is. Fuck that's hot. Unf.
Sounds like you couldn't keep up with it. Maybe Naruto is more suitable for you.
who else /jiggly/ here?
Yeap, have more or less same opinion here. The artstyle is great and some concepts are really cool but as far as writing goes the manga is pretty retarded.
It's Dune with cyborgs, vampires, clones and martials arts tournaments.
It stays up because science.
It's a space elevator dudes.
>actually resorting to 2deep4u
it's definitely more poorly structured and filled with too much fightan and stupid joke-grade ideas than the original
it has a fucking nanomachine monster from mercury that has a giant dick that cums energy blasts for fucks sake
reddit
Yea Forums
Take notes, off-siters.
Giga-puddi was so bad that m00t sold the site for a dollar.
And you don't like it, what is wrong with you?
>it has a fucking nanomachine monster from mercury that has a giant dick that cums energy blasts for fucks sake
Ask me how I know you're not from around here.
There is the scrapyard (iron city in the movie), then Zalem. Above it is Jeru, which together with some space stations and the colonies on the moon form the Orbitarian Federation. They're mainly brainwashed space niggers and host Ladder, which is basically space-UN.
Then you have four other planets with intelligent life :
- Mercury, which is populated by nanomachines released centuries ago by a mad scientist, destroying everything on the planet. The nanomachines have evolved and in Last Order, they attempt to communicate with mankind by sending a nanomachine monster with a huge dick to participate in a martial arts tournament.
- Venus, which is populated by decadent cannibal French people with a fetish for genetic manipulations
- Mars, which is populated by Germans who have been at war with themselves for 300 years. The best candidate to unite the nation is a teenager ventriloquist queen who is never seen without her teddy bear.
- Jupiter, which is a totalitarian state populated by Russian cyborgs with a hardon for nanotechnology
In short, the solar system is one giant shithole.
>general
Holy shit this 6/10 flick is too overrated here
Every page, including the one with explosive farts.
I like them too user.
I do like it, it's still a manga worth reading, but it's much worse than the original which is a manga that's REQUIRED reading
I love the frames of the tubes in the OVA and the sounds they make, it's an image burned into my skull.
>above
worlds above worlds above worlds
>higher rating then independence day
>In short, the solar system is one giant shithole.
wew lad, we're approaching 40K levels of grimdark here. Not quite as bad, but I would say getting there.
oh, no
Cameron should personally direct the next one so we can achieve box-office enough for the whole cinematic universe.
Fuck, I can't wait for the BD. This is an unbelievably perfect shot for a wallpaper. My most favorite shot in the whole movie in terms of scenery.
Alita running and jumping on rooftops in her new body gives me the biggest heart boner.
>just when it seems like it wants to go for some clever idea it ruins it with 80s B-movie grotesque that's inserted for funsies rather than making a point
Rest of your post is opinions and you can have them but I have to protest this one. The gore, disgusting mutants, body horror etc. is not there for "funsies", it's very much there to make a point. The point is that this is not a nice world. This is a world where almost nobody who lives there actually wants to be a part of it. It sets the tone and the tone stays consistent throughout the whole series.
>Does it bother you that we're getting 2 more movies?
a hacker (who becomes a side character) released immortality nanotech into the public 200 years ago, so nobody ages. This means children are illegal and killed, recruited as child soldiers or eaten.
she's hot
Kek that sounds fucking amazing, but is it really hard to balance out all these factions in the stories?
A futile attempt to look as cute as Alita. You should still get her one
>entering a disney shill thread.jpg
Her outfits were really well designed in the movie.
its an extremely divided society, where the strong a gods and the weak are worth less than nothing
>you will never have a gf who can do this pose
Anyone got a link to a youtube playlist of Alita related songs / soundtrack?
Ok this is a really cool fucking concept. So basically Iron city is similar to a tribe in the amazon that has no contact with the modern world.
Basically yeah. Iron City and the rest of Earth surface is centuries behind in technology to the rest of the solar system, and most people don't even know there ARE any space colonies.
the have contact with Zalem, which is city sized eugenics facility
Last order only deals with a big amrtial arts tournament, so we mainly see these factions through the participants they sent to fight in the contest.
And then, there are also space karatekas.
Is literally a junkyard, also it was surrounded by a dessert in the manga.
>a dessert
Desert*. Being surrounded by flan would be great tho.
I kind of picked up on that considering they sent Ido and his entire family down. Obviously it's an attempt to not sully the genetics of the city.
>Iron City = mexico
>Zalem = USA
Is this correct? Was this the message the movie was trying to send?
CRANK THIS!
youtube.com
Nah.
Ok, but is Alita still more advanced than the other technology in the solar system?
Last order is... peculiar.
I have to agree. Marathoned both the original run and last order and I'll admit I'm a bit disappointed. I heard the Kodansha translation sucks but I'm not sure if that was enough to save the overall story had I read the Viz translation. Ido marrying a loli...commiting seppuku and forgetting Alita for instance was way out of character especially now with the movie canon. Just a lot of bs character and plot threads in general. I think more so at this point I'm more in love with movie incarnation of Alita that I really do want to see more of her. If the trilogy gets made, I have no doubt it will be one of the rare occasions where the adaptation is better than the original work
>and his entire family
user...
Nova = Trump
>Could anyone truly take this penis- no, reality into themselves?
>TFW you wish this was accurate.
Nah, and honestly I get a lot of anti-zionism vibes from the film. Not because of Cameron but because they stick with the source material which is Japanese. So I might be right in my assessment.
best ost
They were a family, damn it!
The tubes are really for stabilization. They aren't load bearing.
Well his Immediate family, and I guess they didn't?
>mexico is a place with cool people
>USA citizens are literally brainless
I can dig that.
Her berzerker body is still super high tech, even 200 years (300 in the movie) after her "death" during the war. Civilization has largely stagnated since the war.
Mmm.
It's called community.
I saw Alita and found it nice. Didn't much more of it.
But those threads are lovely. They are positive. They are "fren" threads, but with some OC instead of just Pepe.
Right I was assuming load bearing rather than anchors.
He doesn't have a wife (nor children) in the manga. Alita was named after his cat.
No. It's literally Naruto and Dragonball Z shit
No and yes depending of which body we're talking about. Berzerker body isn't actually particularly special in the systemwide level. The latest and greatest body she has is unique tech designed specifically for her by SPOILERS and it might actually be the fanciest thing that exists, or it might not. It's unclear.
he's sterile, just like all Zalemites
And the URM was defeated thoroughly? Were they really the good guys as was hinted at in the movie?
Quite the change in the movie.
I hate normalfags.
cope
IIRC Chiren was featured in the OVA. I think the daughter is new tho.
the berserker body is classed as a terror weapon and banned since 200 years ago, but it's never shown to be especially impressive compared to what they had in space (although for being 200 years old it's not too shabby). Main problem it has is that they've developed nanomachines that can instantly kill them.
State of the art war machines these days are more along the lines of "we built a robot that can convert 99.8% of an enemy kinetic impact into energy and also has a direct quantum teleportation link to the incomplete dyson sphere surrounding jupiter which allows it to shit out nuclear bomb tier energy as a focused beam every second"

Oh. I bet Alita defeats that with the power of friendship though, right?
>Were they really the good guys
Hahaha, fuck no, martians are absolute fucking assholes.
Then again so are earthlings.
>Were they really the good guys as was hinted at in the movie?
Protip: nobody is "the good guys" in this setting.
waltz is daddy af. they could not NOT take this opportunity
There no good guys or bad guys. It's not shonenshit.
>people aren't allowed to post more then three times in a thread while having a discussion
nah, nanomachines son
as you might guess last order hits a bit of power creep towards the end
>10 Captain Marvel threads up
>good guys
the alita we know from the movie is not the same as the warrior who fought in the terraforming wars, ready to do anything it takes to achieve her goal
even if it means genocide on an unrivaled scale
Holy shit they have a Dyson sphere in the manga? Going to have to read it now.
URM did nothing wrong
such high morals and skill, clearly they should have defeated their enemies.
>average about 4 posts each
It's almost as if people are having conversations.
it was a good change I think
This.
The major theme in the series is that more Alita remembers of her past, the less she likes it.
Was kind of hoping this was the case.
The Queen of Mars is cute! CUTE!
yes, although I'm not sure what the point is in having one surrounding jupiter instead of a star, aside from more lebensraum than you could ever need
Is there a role in the next film Tom Cruise would fit in? I feel like this franchise is one he would enjoy being in,
its like 6 fags spamming and a couple dozen others posting once and you know it
Is last order just a tournament arc? Kinda killed my hype for it
>living rent free in your head
so uh who won the war and who is the current power in the solar system? Earth seems pretty much totally defeated.
I think they made that change because Waltz is significantly older than Ido was in the manga. Probably the same reason they nixed the romance hints between Alita and Ido - it would get a bit creepy for normies if a 50-year-old guy was romantically involved with a teen. Ido in the manga is like late 20's - early 30's so it makes a lot more sense that he's a perma-bachelor.
No manlets, sorry.
They would have, they were betrayed.
Sounds like it's total shit, and everyone in the solar system is disjointed from eachother. Probably not in the position to launch an attack on eachother if they wanted to.
Turned off your tripcode this time I see.
>Kinda killed my hype
It killed everybody's hype. I dropped it when the vampires appeared. Might pick up it again, now that its complete.
What's wrong with Tom Cruise?
BAA:LO has 126 chapters. the ZOT tournament begins in chapter 25 and ends in chapter 106. So yeah, pretty much.
The pre-ZOTT chapters are about Alita's brief passage through Zalem, and the post-ZOTT chapters are a pure kino arc centered around Figure Four and Ido.
>so uh who won the war
No one really.
>who is the current power in the solar system?
A bunch of competing colonies that hate each other and are fucked up in their own ways. Ladder (space U.N.) headed by Supernegro von Wakanda is nominally in charge since his faction represents old Earth's authority, but like the real U.N., he's actually much less important and powerful than he thinks he is. There's kind of a cold war between all of the powers.
oh they have 1-15 thousand years to go if we're going by the warhammer timeline.
"Age of Terra - Humanity dominates Earth. Civilizations come and go. The Solar System is colonized. Mankind lives on Mars and the moons of Jupiter Saturn and Neptune."
It was a fun movie and people liked it, even hardcore fans of the manga/ova.
the last order volumes are each ~700 pages, its just ridiculous
>94% like it
>still struggling to break 100 million domestic
lolwut.
And then after it you have Mars Chronicles, which is mainly about lolis suffering.
Here's a good 2017 fanboy comic book elaboration and a take on the character
>Supernegro von Wakanda
Yeah, it would be fun to headcanon this taking place shortly before the Dark Age of Technology. Basically right before (relatively speaking) leaving the solar system and colonizing the galaxy.
It's confirmed for reylo/who all over again
Imagine fans originally enduring ten years of this shit. Started off so promising as well
venus and jupiter are the two superpowers, mars is in constant civil war, earth orbit is weak as fuck with a diplomatic role, earth surface is the backwaterest backwater, the other planets aren't really populated but there are plenty of minor space colonies everywhere
>Is last order just a tournament arc? Kinda killed my hype for it
Last Order is unironically bad, and I say this as a guy who regards the original series as a 9.9/10. Most of it is literally wasted on a shounen fight tournament that doesn't matter. You should not have hype for LO.
The good parts of LO are that it expands the world a lot, adds more backstory to Alita and there are some individual good scenes and characters, but you're really not losing anything of great value if you just pretend the original series is all that exists.
And just like the difference between Wakanda and real Africa, people in-universe mainly know Mbadi because a ton of bluepilled fiction was made about him.
How many volumes of the manga did the film adapt?
Don't listen to these fucking normalfags, LO shits on the second half of the original manga (which is where it went to utter garbage and why LO even exists in the first place). The fucking ZOTT arc was godlike as are most of the characters like Sechs and Zekka.
Like 2 and a half. It's more of an adaptation of the OVA than the manga, with motorball from the first comic and some tidbits from LO thrown in.
comfy
>which is where it went to utter garbage
the second half is literally everything from berserker zapan, so fuck off
No. Tom Cruise doesn't star in films he's not the main star.
>ZOTT arc was godlike
I cannot imagine the level of shit taste you're on right now.
I mean you have anywhere from today to M30 to snugly fit your headcanon and 30/40k is already fucking insane so having some Alita tech being forgotten Dark Age tech would be completely fine.
>ZOTT arc was godlike
The dick jokes were the best part about Sechs being an FtM tranny. I also remember that one time when he's given up on using his cannon, then someone sees him naked and says "Oh, you still have a cannon after all!".
First two with a little sample of the third thrown in (motorball).
I wanna fuck her robot puci
True. That's why I love 40k, for it's simply sheer versatility in fiction. It was a good invention making a timeline so vast instead of containing it so narrowly like many other science fiction universes.
>General - #37
So, we liked it?
>not liking battle tournaments
Gee wiz I bet you've had sex, too you fucking faggot
To be fair to M'badi, I actually think he's kind of a cool character as a side villain. He has understandable motivations, human flaws and attacks Alita from a brand new direction that she isn't prepared for. His main sin is that he's in LO.
I have a large collection of really disturbed webms but holy fuck does this take the cake. I'm not even going to download this one.
Well played, good sir.
I don't know yet, I think 2-3 more times in the IMAX will make it clear.
Ido was right about a fresh start.
Yeah, he's more of a based black man, really. I hope MC gives us a good villain in Dasein.
The good thing about Gunnm LO is, it goes on forever
The bad thing about Gunnm LO is that it goes on forever
I missed it what did your eyes see?
Billions of US dollars
I just want to read Volume 3, and $100 a year isn't worth it, especially after my ISP notice from last year.
Do you think my ISPs are still monitoring me
Yes. Alita has been confirmed a cute.
Quads do not lie.
However it's a lot more interesting than Dragonball Z from a philosophical and narrative perspective. It's about 75% romance-free soap opera and world-building, 17% philosophical exposition during HRRRRRRRRRR charging up scenes, and 8% fighting.
No
is a nigger with 4 brains still a nigger?
never seen a single ad on TV or even the Cinema or youtube for Alita. did they even have a marketing budget?
A chinamen skinning a doggo alive
Yes.
Alita's life would unironically be 10x happier if she just stopped trying to dig through her past.
Smells like reddit in here.
It would be creepy for normies if a guy had a romance with a cyborg he built no matter his age.
Tiny. Fox said Alita breaks even with $240 mi. Somehow that translated in $500 mi in the shills' minds.
She just need to turn into a tree or something. That also would save us from LO.
>we
>twitter
I think she's realized it. That's why she ended up dividing herself between a fully human alita who's going to live a comfy life with her husbando and a fully metal alita who's there to suffer and get her butt groped by an undead lesbian from Mars.
her brain is organic. she can give consent it's 2019 guys
No, but according to mouseniggers the marketing budget was twice its production budget.
