Raiders of the Lost Alita
>#41
>the insecurity of the desperate shills deepens
man, you made this while the last thread was at 309 posts.
We're going all the way to 100
This thread is starting slowly. Maybe the magna inquisition won't find it.
>introduce protagonist in such a way that establishes that total dismemberment is not a big deal
>expect audience to be tense when threats of dismemberment are presented
???
Dear fellow purists, how do we implement this for the big screen?
Suddenly a vilain enters the thread.
Plenty of characters died throughout the movie, user. Now finish your schoolwork and go to bed.
If this stupid general makes it to #100, I'll eat an Alita blu-ray disc. Of course that'll never happen, but whatever lol.
if her brain is destroyed she dies idiot
>x was bad
>x was fine because [COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT POINT]
you are really bad at this.
It was effective enough, especially when Grewishka threatened to graft Alita's screaming head into his chest.
Dont underestimate the power of cute waifus
Captain Marvel's punk bf!
Be honest bros, will Alita win ANYTHING next year?
if 300 years doesn't kill it, ain't much else going to.
>especially when grewshika flat out directly states he has no intention of killing her
...
She already won my heart
its funny that you go for the weakest possible example of "unadaptable" scenes. Hell, the entire ZOTT would best be on the cutting room floor, because it was god-fucking-awful.
Will they introduce Ki in the next film?
Oscars? Who cares?
There a possibility that the sequel is R-rated?
I really liked how they cribbed that line from the manga, from a character who had been going back and forth with gally for a fair chunk of time, and gave it to a character who had maybe 45 seconds worth of contact with alita.
Wtf was his problem?
still no good camrip
No. Doesn't matter how much money it makes it won't even be nominated for anything, because it doesn't adhere to the Hollywood standards.
Now had Hugo been replaced with a black guy and had Alita been full of feminist one liners then it would be a different thing.
But she already won where it matters. See Fuck Oscars and that other noise.
When has such a thing ever happened, especially for a movie that was intentionally limited to pg 13?
Anyone else like the Spanish colonial church Rodriguez threw in there because he felt like it? Comfy place for the scene with the sacred heart.
that HDTC is okay. The visuals aren't really impressive enough to give a shit. You've seen hundreds of similar (or better) shots... if you aren't some third worlder with no actual access to film... but even then you're used to yify.
fucking kek
who cares, if we get a sequel all is well. I just want my hard copy right NOW with copious behind the scenes crap and the Cam-approved-secret-directors-cut
That's what I figured myself. The ending to the first volume(?) should be where the film ends.
Too much weeb tropes in the last order.
Don't forget they killed the only major black character and the other one was a nurse working for a white man.
his teacher touched him down there
It's been a while since i've liked a protagonist this much.
>HDTC
stream?
He was pissed they forgot to give him any characterization.
Man this motorball arc doesn't fucking end
I felt like he really based the whole thing in Mexico City due to set cues like that, as well as Bad Guy’s mayan calendar back piece. Mexico locations are totally a Rodriguez signature, not implausible. JC would totally go with it.
...and even Alita's intro that you mindlessly bitch about in your initial post is not only something that makes her miserable for a while from amnesia identity loss, but also a miracle in the first place according to Ido. It's not like we're going to see Hugo ever again from the exact same circumstance.
The OVA ran through the first two volumes of manga in under 60 minutes. Clumsily, but the hope was at the very least cameron would be able to clean it up. It'd be easy to go through a sane motorball progression in another hour or hour and a half.
But what's kinda hilarious is because of how much it cost to do the googly eyes, they had a hard limit of two hours.
>"ORANGES? THATS NO GOOD"
>Gives her a chocolate bar
Best written movie of 2019.
I'm really glad I watched it. Thanks Yea Forums.
Serious question: How many dirty Chinese noodle stalls can we expect to see in the sequel?
As thanks for salvaging burgerlands' shit tastes.
What are your thought on Zapan? He is so edgy and cool so that was enough for me.
Whew, after those Oscars, it's like leaving a furnace and coming back to a cool air-conditioned store. Damn it feel's good.
You think Zapan didn't have characterization but Alita did?
Since you're obviously the idiot shill from last thread, the basic issue is, were this a western, they introduced the protagonist in such a way that showed he was immune to bullets. Then spent the duration of the movie trying to build suspense/tension by having character after character try to shoot him.
You're gonna look funny with bits of a bluray disc stuck in your teeth.
Gimmie a torrent. Unless you guys actually think this movie is worth the money.
Guy has great taste in rock bands
Is roboqt /ourgirl/?
Wahhhhh
never seen the same movie 5 times in a week. You'd think that it would lose its shine after a couple times but it just fucking doesn't. I wish it were longer.
>He rebuilds her and trusts in her more and in turn she’s humbled and gratified, treats ido a lot better (kissing him on the cheek, cuddling up to him)
He rebuilds her because she didn't have a fucking body anymore
No one was well characterized, but zapan is just laughable. As he suddenly has a huge murderboner for hugo out of literally nowhere 40 minutes after he's a non-entity in a bar.
I heard Jim himself shifted the setting down to Latin America from Kansas because being a tech autist, he realized it was extremely implausible for a space elevator to be built anywhere except the equator.
If they weren't hacking apart robots, it probably would have been a hard R. They didn't shy away from violence imo.
But dismemberment is one step away from having your brain case popped as you're incapacitated
I liked how ido builds a serviceable body for hugo in no time flat, but for whatever reason never got around to building a body for his daughter, and just made her roll around in a wheelchair in a completely crippled sack of flesh.
such a good song
youtube.com
>suddenly has a huge murderboner for hugo out of literally nowhere
Did you somehow miss the part where Alita humiliated him in front of his edgy friends?
It is not only worth the money, a disgusting eyecancer cam rip is the worst way to watch it
He didn't give a shit about Hugo.
He was an Alpha that got humiliated in front of all of his friends by a little girl and he thought the best way to hurt her was to hurt her love interest.
If there's a genre worth the money on big screen it's this one.
>alita
more like Flopita!
I liked that he's a cartoonish dickhead who stayed bad and didn't develop a conscience.
Jesus you're stupid.
His characterization is that he’s vain, arrogant, and petty. His “murderboner” is because he was humiliated by Alita easily beating him up in the bar and wanted to hurt in in revenge.
How does that negate the rest of the post? He doesn’t rebuild her and then go “okay alita just because I put you in this body doesn’t mean anything, you’re still forbidden from being a hunter warrior and doing dangerous shit!” He accepts that she’s not his little girl and takes a step back, and in turn she accepts him as a father figure.
that's right guys, ignore the relevant part of the post.
In the manga, the body from some cyborg who died of a stroke offscreen.
Yeah, serviceable... like something from Home Depot.
Which that body pretty much was.
It's worth the money. It felt like a breath of fresh air.
His characterization is he's someone alita effortlessly slaps around and outsmarts.
But the manga also had robots, yet it included hookers getting gibbed, children rotting alive, brains being eaten, half of hugos torso being vaporized and his guts spilling out and so on. They intentionally made it less violent, upping it to R would be a questionable business decision.
I’m not fond of the song itself but the way the movie ends with the orchestral swell and immediately segues into the electronic drop and the end titles before the motorball-stadium-like chanting kicks in is kino.
I also like when tie-in songs utilize parts of the movie score itself, like the four-note string motif and the brass interlude in this case.
>i'd prefer my daughter be suffering and/or dead than have literally any mobility while I work on this pretty body
In the setting it's like making your daughter go nude because you don't have a pretty dress for her.
>soundless Joshugan vs The Five
Will this kino make it in the next film?
Don't talk about Jesus that way.
If she “effortlessly outsmarted” him, Hugo wouldn’t be dead.
If any movie in existence out these is worth the money, its this one.
and adapting an IP's that's main marketing point is edge, and removing all the edge, that was a perfectly valid marketing point, right?
Like taking deadpool and dumping all the violence, gore, and "humor."
>because there is no living hell worse than being in a wheelchair, paralyzed from the waist down.
Not really, user.
That shit was cool as hell, I would never suspect that you could pull off a muted scene like that in a comic yet the effect is immediate
if she didn't outsmart him, he would've been able to tell she was keeping hugo alive.
But hey, keep acting like the movie is flawless.
>out of literally nowhere
Did you not pay attention to the fucking movie?
I like how you guys are really bad at arguing, but you never really shut up either. You'll ignore just about every point and quibble on something utterly irrelevant, and then flash yourself a tard-grin in the mirror you have near your desk.
Yeah, Ido would totally be the kind of guy to decapitate his daughter and attach her head to a trashcan on wheels until he got her perfect body finished
Probably the only movie this year i'd imagine the vast majority of Yea Forums would advise supporting.
You'll like it. And we all want a sequel.
>out of nowhere
>when they chekhov's gun him early on
Are you just blind?
>It was 300 hundreds years ago, get over it
>Tells to a black guy
What did James Cameron mean by this?
No movie is flawless and I don't see anyone calling it flawless in these threads. Stop triggering yourself on purpose.
He vanishes for 40 minutes. It's hard to even remember who he was, as the movie will run through a whole plotline in less than four minutes.
hugo's temporary body did pretty well. Could've been enough to keep his daughter from dying.
>It's hard to even remember who Zapan was
There is no relevant part, asshat. The character is fucking straightforward:
>egotistical "pretty boy" show-off in a gang of bounty hunters who immediately starts flirting with the new girl
>gets hella riffed on in front of the other dudes
>becomes a petty shithead because he's insecure af
This is elementary comic book characterization. Why you're having trouble parsing it is astounding.
its only worth supporting if you think more spineless big budget anime adaptations will make people on Yea Forums angry.
Yes... when there would be no market for the movie.
"Lets spend $200 million on a R-rated gore-fest (based on a comic book for 10-year-old Japanese boys).
No market, no merit, just a bad idea.
What relevant part, your complaint that he is one dimensional?
You made a point of him having a random murderboner for Hugo and we explained to you why he went after him.
That guy is your regular Alpha douchebag who throws a tantrum when he is humiliated. These guys exist all over the damn planet and often the rest of their personality is "I lift heavy things and put them down."
You don't need some kind of a deep complex personality for every bad guy, especially when their existence revolves around killing street scum for money.
Boy, I'd really hate to be you.
>Since you're obviously the idiot shill from last thread
...and I didn't even discuss with anybody in this board today but if I made you feel this way on behalf of somebody else I'm still honored, so much for these threads being over this weekend.
I'll just add I appreciated more, watching this again this weekend, the scene where Vector was frustrated at Chiren getting access to Alita's exposed heart in the Church without killing her and stealing it, since that was what Nova had been nagging all 3 of them to do the whole movie.
We're talking about a movie that goes from "ido is my friend, ido is suspicious, ido is a murderer! ido is my friend!" in three minutes.
But the main marketing point is a qt, and kickass robot girl
Dirty Chinese noodle stands are crucial to cyberpunk.
Can't remember his face either
He WAS able to tell she was keeping Hugo alive.
That's why he tries to grab him and Alita slashes his face off.
you couldn't be more transparent if you had a tripcode.
Look at these casuals. Look at them and laugh.
>idddoooooooooo
She had her head bashed in.
>60 million domestic
Not gonna make it senpai.
>Lets spend $200 million on a R-rated gore-fest (based on a comic book for 10-year-old boys).
... considering you're describing deadpool, which was mentioned in the post you're replying to, that's kinda... really fucking stupid dude.
because she couldn't move
No user, it is you who are the casual
so your counter-argument to the assertion that zapan is a flat character that exists only to get beaten up and outsmarted by alita is... he was beaten up and outsmarted by alita.
mfw dirty chinese noodle stands in Alita 2: Zalem Boogaloo
Deadpool is a magna ? News to me!
Literally this. Little hole in the wall food joints with smoke and smog and neon are as cyberpunk as it gets.
They were that worried about a hard R superhero movie bombing that they spend less than $100m on it
man manga alita is a damn psycho
You're arguing dishonestly. It was not Alita's idea to cut off Hugo's head, but Dr. Shirin's. Without her intervention, Alita would have been in a different situation. You are deliberately lying to make it sound like Alita thought of the deception, did the surgery herself, and then claimed victory by cutting his face off and taking his sword.
She had help.
>just this part is more than enough already
no you see no neon cuz were gunna run out sometime in da next 300 years and we'll figure out literally zero ways to get anymore ever.
But microfusion antimatter reactors the size of a fist? EZPZ
You're now trying to justify zapan's complete and total flatness by the fact a deus ex machina character teleported in at just the right time.
Deadpool had a $58 million budget, not $200 million.
I'm casual because I can actually follow a simple plot? Fuck off.
>cornered, the shill quibbles
this is just getting sad.
Ah, I see. You're one of those people. Alright, better to stop here and let you claim your "victory". You will never concede, so I won't waste any more time.
Characters don't need to be dynamic to be good
What the hell is the point of arguing with you if you’re going to twist everything into some halfassed cinema sins insult?
and if they had dropped the googly eyes, the budget here would've come in at about 40-50m. Cause there sure as fuck wasn't much money on display anywhere else.
You should see yoko
> that flashback scene from LO where she turns a group of riot cops into mystery meat as alita cums a little in awe of her skills
I really don't know why anyone would work this hard to justify bad writing.
You must be retarded, or something.
She had her head bashed in by a human wrecking machine who broke in to steal drugs.
Ito saw that all coming by using his URM-built magic ball...but was too lazy to do anything about it.
Ty for your service I will single-handedly bring this general to #100 if I have have to
What are you even going for here?
He is a fairly flat character but not unrealistic by any means and he works well enough and his motivations fit his personality. Something you don't seem to comprehend, because you didn't even get why he was after Hugo to begin with.
The point is that I'm not expecting him to be some kind of a complex deep character where as you seem to expect me to come up with some reason that elevates him to that position you deem necessary for a character to be good.
He is a fairly flat character which works. I'm not expecting him to be more. There's no need for him to be anything more.
How has Alita’s brain survived for 300 years without her neurons oxidizing and atrophying?
I can never find that page either.
Or at least when I do its... yea its not nearly as impressive as I want to remember it being.
Nanomachines, son.
Mars technology. It just works
H Y P E R S L E E P
$5 says this person watched a cam
woah woah woah woah WOAH please try to avoid using that word
>hey I have a crippled daughter in possibly the most hostile environment possible where there are no real laws or citizen protections
>whatever, she'll be fine with zero mobility for an indefinite amount of time
Zapans arc after he gets his face cut off turns him into a mental case who has forgotten how his own face looked like
*ding!*
Moths are superior to butterflies.
Quibble?
Who would waste a whole $200 million to hustle the simpletons who watched Deadpool, when a budget $130 million less would get the job done?
I'd bet $500 you're either mexican or indian.
>that exists only to get beaten up and outsmarted by alita
Why is that a problem? He's a punk whose personality makes sense for the bounty hunter gang, and he'll also be returning in the sequel because his character has another arc in the manga. Not everything has to have greater meaning to it, there can be morons who exist to get their asses whooped. It's an ACTION movie.
>$130m
na ur wrong da budget was onry 72m.
>Cause there sure as fuck wasn't much money on display anywhere else
Not the guy you're engaged with, but have you never heard of a thing called hindsight? Yeah, it's infinitely more easier to figure out what you *should* have done than to actually do it before it happens. People make dumb mistakes all the time, even smart people. Infallibility is not a trait of man.
It's like half a chapter of pure gore, when she's sneaking around in a stealth suit and before she fights that monkey faced guy somewhere around 1/3rd into LO
which is kinda hilarious if they even go that direction, as she just cut it clean off, and this is a setting where its no biggie to graft a severed head to a sewing machine. She didn't even set it on fire or anything.
130 million LESS means x - 130 million.
>in the sequel
user, I...
Did anyone notice how much camera focus was given to Alita's hands? There were so many shots of them at all different points in the film, from when she is flexing her new hands to when she is holding hands with Hugo, etc. I couldn't help but think this was Rodriguez snubbing Tarantino, like friendship-ended-with style. Cameron is my new kinofriend now
The "hindsight" argument requires ido to somehow not know that the scrapyard is dangerous.
There are laws and citizen protections. Killing someone is an automatic death sentence. Try watching the movie.
>kinofriendship with Quintin is over
Its because of how much cheaper it was to show her hands than her face, according to rodriguez interviews.
There will be a sequel, user. And it will be good.
>no shots of feet
Damn
No, it's more like living in downtown LA and knowing nigs can nig at any moment in your home, so you buy a gun, but you foolishly leave it in a locked safe, so when a nig does inevitably come nigging, you have to spend extra time getting it out and by that time the nigs already did their dirty nig deeds.
>200 million budget
>60 million domestic box office
Not gonna make it bro
Why were the critics so harsh about this movie?
back off my girl
Steady diet of oranges, chocolate and diet monster energy drink.
so zapan has a death sentence?
a death sentence on a murderer also does not un-kill their victims.
No Disney bribe money.
Anime can only be appreciated by the patrician mind.
m a g i c
>went 4 times already to the same theater since it is the only one in my city
The cashiers are already looking at me strange...
Right, I keep forgetting how cuddly and safe they made "iron city" in the movie. I keep automatically thinking of the literal hell on earth the scrapyard was in the manga.
I mean, in the movie its a mostly lawless hellhole with no actual police and hyper-technology just lying around, but its safe enough to let your kids go out and play the tame version of murderball.
Disney want Captain Marvel to be *the* movie about a strong female character. Can't allow a cutie to steal the thunder and do it better.
Well that was the other thing of course. Whenever she made a face they really chewed it for a few extra seconds.
Will make it just fine. : )
I haven't watched the movie yet, but in the manga he's accidentally charged with bounty stealing when he tries to take hugos head
Does anyone have that one pic of alita looking at the camera extremely pissed off?
I liked the focus. It just looked so nice and fluid with that slight metallic sound.I just want machine appendages god damn it
I went with two other people and we were a third of the audience. On a rainy day. Second weekend. Don't make Alita sad. Keep going user.
>but its safe enough to let your kids go out and play the tame version of murderball.
Well that's a detracting point. You'll notice all the bad stuff happens during the night. And we're not talking about the manga here. The manga is the manga. We're talking about the movie.
In the movie when zapan finds hugo alone, hugo's like "i dont have a bounty so fuggof" so zapan just murders a dude and somehow that gives HUGO a bounty.
>implying they can stop roboqt
>Deadpool
soiface.jpg
You can't honestly pretend that Disney doesn't buy critics anymore.
They're right. Don't you understand that critics are paid to criticize? They don't give genuine criticism, they write some words for a paycheck. If they review something negatively, or positively, it doesn't matter, it was done for money and money alone. And larger corporations definitely do have review columns in their pockets.
Sorry. no paycheck for you mousecuck.
Clearly you didn't shill hard enough.
Thanks to you, captain marbles is gonna flop.
>acknowledging the existence of something i don't like is soỳ
it existed and made more money than alita will.
If you want to know why the critics gave this bad reviews, listen to what Brian May had to say about Bohemian Rhapsody
>"The mistake that critics made was reviewing the trailer instead of reviewing the film. They jumped to conclusions. Once people stake their claim, it's hard for them to withdraw."
This is right about Alita too. Basically all the negative reviews came from Disney shills or people who saw the eyes and noped out
Her baroque inlaid arms at the beginning were very cute and elegant.
enough shots when she first tries to walk and when she woke up in the Berserker
>29999 quintillion budget
>10 bucks box office
It's fucking over.
It's really not hard to sway critics. You don't have to pay them, just threaten them with blacklisting. No interviews, no premiere passes, no screeners, no first looks, etc. Lack of that access means they cannot make a career of their job. It's easy and it's legal.
I really liked the eyes. They that uncanny valley to emphasize that Alita was a not a human in a cast of otherwise realistic faces.
Are critics so retarded that they didn't realize that was the point of it?
She doesn't actually say "pathetic." But I should have known better.
They keep digging themselves deeper and deeper. I have no idea how they could salvage their reputation short of killing themselves.
critics were harsh on bohemian raphsody because it's a completely flat story with zero character development. Its just

>freddie mercury died of aids on the way back to his homeplanet
Like any high-crime third-world city.
I guarantee that kids in Juarez play soccer in the street... and Iron City is probably safer than Juarez.
I think I can go one more time, I will do it for ALITA.
The movie heals me in some way.
Just saw it. It's not that good. Alita is cute but that's about it.
Also I more or less got called a pedo because I liked her in the first third of the movie where her body is basically meant for a child.
Dubs confirm
how did they get away with this in the current year?
Someone needs to make an edit of this where the butterfly in the last panel says "fuck niggers" in small text or something edgy like that.
>TFW WE WON'T SEE HAPPY ALITA IN THE SEQUEL SINCE NOW ALL SHE CARES ABOUT IS REVENGE
I CAN'T TAKE IT BROS, I WANT HER TO SMILE, I WANT HER TO LOVE AND BE LOVED AHHHHHH
.
The guy who did it is black.
Getting black'd is 100% acceptable in the current year.
God, I can't get over it. Even as just a prop, that shit is fucking artistry manifested. It's beautiful.
What was with his Mayan livery? He's a brit. Is it explained in the manga or is this a one-off character?
The brain only needs a blood flow to remain alive, and her URM warp core heart was definitely in good enough shape for that.
I hope so, even if I'm pessimistic.
Is imax 3d worth it? I want to see it again, but i want it to be another experience.
I'm so fucked up...
>the way she gets flustered when Hugo admires her hands for the first time
deep
Did Vector win an Oscar?!
I was sure that three views were enough for me.
I woke up and realized that I wanted to watch this movie again.
I'm too old for this shit.
I last watched the film more than three times when the Fifth Element was released ...
Yes he did, but for playing classy negro instead of scumbag negro.
That picture puts a weird feeling in my chest.
I hope Ido laser printed those markings and not slowly did it by hand.
I don't have any friends and my girlfriend doesn't want to see this movie. I missed Avatar in 3D. Is Alita worth seeing by myself? Will I get kicked out for being alone?
Lord of the Rings for me. Every time.
And Hugo thought for how much he would sell her hands.
>go to see Alitakino again today
>cashier is some thot who's given me a ticket to it last week
>that look when I asked for another tonight
I know those feels.
That thoth has no business sullying your relationship with Gally.
Just let Robert know you're in a tough spot right now. He'll understand.
Post webm when Ido gives her her name.
>has gf
>still socially awkward.
Go watch it user, let Alita fill the void in your heart
there's a difference?
I've gone two times by myself. It's a better experience anyway.
Do it.
Yes, too often but not in the cinema.
Very long, viewing of three director versions takes all day.
Blade Runner 2049, Hellboy, but I went to them only twice.
Deadpool is to Reddit as Blade Runner is to Yea Forums. No shit it made a lot of money when it's targeted to pseudointellectuals and brainlets who cum whenever some reference to their favorite shit pleb thing is made or edgy retarded joke is made. "OoOoO look at me I'm being edgy aren't I funny pickle rick mayonnaise NEON CAT XDXDXD". Fuck that shit.
last time I saw a movie twice in theaters was the first Hobbit, 2D then 3D. Before that it was Revenge of the Sith. I'm gonna check out Alita in IMAX on Wednesday.
This movie is made for you.
Bringing these along for a rewatch it seems appropriate
Oh God.. that is just too cute.
Why did he have to die bros? I want to see ALITA happy, her smile is what makes me happy, her girlish awkward crush is what made us love her so much.
Don't know how they could bring that back in a sequel..
One for you and one for your gf?
oh, its a culture warrior. how ... something...
Because "it's cool". That's all the justification you really need, honestly.
Did you guys expect it to be as good as it was?
I saw it for th 6th time tonight, faggots. When does Alita officially become mai waifu you autistic retards?
Look at this webm and tell me how your chest feels.
This one
The LotR EE marathon should only be done with those theaters like Alamo Drafthouse where you get meals served. It's like an ordeal to watch 12 hours of movie in a day.
>Did you guys expect it to be as good as it was?
No, I was totally blown away
You won't be alone because Alita will be there for you. :3
Given the track record, and Steven Spielberg producing GitS, nope. Alita exceeding all expectations. Some flaws, but that's inescapable. The only major flaw was not being 5 hours long.
alita was almost as bad.

I didn't think anything of it before it started to pick up steam here. When I heard about it months ago, I was totally ambivalent and thought of it as a curious novelty. But then I saw more trailers and my interest began to genuinely pick up and I basically in a decision of haste decided that I want to see it on the big screen. Boy am I glad I did.
I might go the movies like once or twice per year, tops, since the vast majority of movies that come out suck or I feel aren't good enough to warrant my money which is better invested in other things. But this, this is one where I can say with a straight face and without any hesitance that I do not regret my decision.
It was just fucking fun, man.
I thought it was going to be the "heroine" standard we have today
>acts like a man
>acts passive agressive to all men in the movie
>looks like a guy
>has a personality that is not likeable in the slightest
I went for the action really, but I am so happy that I was so wrong about it.
Her URM cyborg casing face was cosmetically hyper preserved when Ido found it, the brain and also heart sustaining it (Ido said its output could last many years) weren't even exposed, she was basically a Jurassic Park mosquito finding
I don't think it's going to make the 765 googolplex to the googolplex power it needs just to break even.
Seriously I expected nothing. All I heard was that an anime was being adapted by Cameron and the waifu had large eyes, didn't even watch trailers. I wanted to see what that was about. Completely loved it the first time. Loved it even more the second.
Hurrrdurr
>Fifth Element.
You have a good taste in waifus user.
Listen to your heart and give Alita another watch.
Go and watch it.
Then again you might end up committing a sudoku once you see the unconditional love of a cute cyborg on the big screen and compare it with your current GF who doesn't even want to watch a movie with you.
Criticize a simple story for being simple.
Although the task of making it difficult and not standing.
And this is a real story.
Critics of 2019/10
Why does she have that penis doll?
No. I just felt for all the shilling here and decided to see the movie. It was surprisingly good.
:(
When you reply without arguments, all you do is validate the statements.
I wish we got more comfy slice of life Alita adventures. Like, I could watch her just exploring the city and finding stuff like the crashed ship outside the walls for hours. I just want to see her get a happy ending in the movies and run a quiet coffee shop or something.
Think a Wednesday matinee in IMAX will be empty? I want Alita all to myself
did you just google translate that?
>kills black guy
>"another dead slave"
Was Cameron foreshadowing Alita's nature as a space nazi?
PLEASE ENOUGH !!!
why don't you just watch anime
shoo
It's worth seeing. It's genuinely good, and seeing it is also a great way of spiting the Mouse and how hard they're forcing Captain Marvel.
Most likely.
>cute robot girl running a cafe in the post apocalyptic wasteland
Now where have I seen this before?
that would be awesome combined with vaping some top grade weed
>sequel confirmed to be named “alita: fallen angel”
Fuck, bubbly Alita might really be gone. but atleast we might have 30 minutes of deleted scenes of her being happy when the blue ray comes out
I went alone and I'm glad I did. For sure my normie fuckbuddy would interrupt my experience with dumb comments and annoying noises.
the cost of googly eyes being what it was, they didn't have any money to leave a single scene on the floor.
one for me and one for my boomer dad
No. I was really pleasantly surprised. Alita as a character was such a breath of fresh air compared to the female protagonists most action movies have.
Woman Hunter from the film, I see her in Deus Ex.
dude that's anime anime is gay.
now gimme my CGI waifu
This character is making me feel things I didn't know I could even feel anymore.
In a way it's a good pain. At least I know I still have a heart that can feel and hasn't grown too jaded.
That's a mango and mangoes are just a little fruity.
It's more rewatchable than I thought. Framing the movie around Motorball was one of the best things they could do, especially if sequel happens.
>he's MINE
Reminder that no girl will ever say this about you
>boomer dad
That is nice, might be good going to the movies with a dad.
I hurt myself today
A serious drawback of the film, its length.
It should be longer by an hour and include a scene with a cybernetic puppy.
Otherwise, it is perfect.
I absolutely love how the cybernetic augment designs were simultaneously more sleek/refined and clunky and heavy as well, compared to the more medium of DX. It kind of put a timeline perspective in my mind.
>black and white
nah dude i don't watch anything more than a hundred years old lmao
I need all the stories of anons taking parents and their reactions.
fan of the manga, having serious problems seeing past those fucking eyes. are they easy to ignore?
Not until you've ascended to wizardhood.

I showed my dad a review of the movie by Mother's Basement and he decided it looked good. I also told him how feminists hate the movie and he instantly knew it was because ugly fat chicks are jealous of how cute Alita is.
I also saw Blade Runner 2049 with my dad, he's the only guy I know who I can really go see decent stuff with.
Yea Forums here.
I WANT AN ALITA GAME MADE BY PLATINUM
plus Hugo dating minigame where the objective is to make ALITA smile the most
I bet all the people gushing over alita have used “weeb” a an insult
Isn't that Killzone?
The eyes are good.
its funny how the shilling always slows down so they can make sure to get their next general at the exact second the thread hits 310 replies.
The eyes are a gimmick. You completely forget about them.
I ship Zapan and Alita.
SEGA, Yakuza series styled exploring/fighting/motorballing.
Alita: Battle Angel
>PLATINUM
I love it. Shame Japan doesn't like this property.
I asked my dad if he wanted to watch it and he said no and now he's avoiding me. I wish I had a good father like some of you faggots.
I felt like that before I saw the movie. After about 20 seconds of Alita on the screen and I didn't even think of her as looking off or made with CGI.
Trust me they look great on her and only serve to enhance the expressiveness and cuteness. It was really a right design choice.
If you kill a killer the number of killers in the world stays the same
no, they're fucking awful. a genuinely baffling design choice, i find it so hard to believe anyone involved in the production could have been an actual fan of the source material but end up completely misinterpreting what was obviously a stylistic choice in the manga.
i doubt i'll ever think they're anything but terrible but as long as i can ignore them i don't really care.
>wandering around Iron City, interacting with fun side stories
>suddenly a cyborg Majima appears
>GARRY-CHAN!
the people you're replying to are either lying or they're so autistic they're Chris-chan level, dependent upon their parents for everything.
>shipping some 30 year old and a teenage girl
Why am I not surprised.
Alita is older than Zapan by at least three centuries or more.
Played motorball ya know
Badass
>Instead of GOLD, PLATINUM and PURE PLATINUM we get ORANGE PEEL, ORANGE and CHOCOLATE
>so anxious to watch Alita I went on pre-release date
>had to tell cashier girl the name of the movie twice
>cashier girl asks her boss to make sure movie's already out
all worth it
>Could've gone pro if I hadn't joined the Hunter Killers
>he instantly knew it was because ugly fat chicks are jealous of how cute Alita is.
Based boomer dad.
I don't think they were trying to emulate a manga look, but rather a look of a doll on her.
She doesn't really stand out when you see the movie because there are so many CGI elements. So yes you can ignore them fairly easily, even when she's on the screen with other humans.
It's definitely worth the money, both for itself and to support the fight for a sequel.
Once youve seen it once, then torrent it.
Don't worry about those things anons, you did right, we did it for ARITA.
I thought it was going to be an issue aswell, but i got passed it pretty fast.
