PREVIOUS THREAD
Is having a general even a good idea?
It'll most likely draw more hate than it should and may tarnish some anons view on the film.
fake thread. Real thread at
Come, let us recite Alita's prayer.
Our Angel who art in the Scrapyard,
Hallowed be thy eyes.
>BLAM!
BLAME! live-action adaptation when?
generals are never a good idea
Better than 20 fucking individual threads.
#3 this time finally on a big enough screen
Alita is cute!
that seething tumorposter is getting funnier over time.
Maybe all the anti-alita posting is just asspained Yea Forumsposters.
I'd be angry too if it wasnt for the fact that Last Order already shat on every aspect of the franchise over the past decade
how about no paid shilling? Is that just never going to happen again?
A general is more tolerated than random amounts of singular threads on the same subject.
However, we really should have a separate board for /tv generals/ altogether.
>that look when she sees your dick
i wonder how james cameron feels knowing his potential magnum opus was butchered
Watched Alita instead of the Oscars last night
Rosa was fantastic, Alita was easy to root for, and the action delivered
Hugo's actor was garbage, and I'm glad he got fridged
Story was nothing special, but I wanna see more Alita
Not quite as good as Sin City or Speed Racer, but washes the taste of ScarJo in the Shell out
Viva Alita
>t. user who kept spamming literal cancer
How's it feel knowing the janny keeps deleting your attempts.
It’s because this autist was seething about “muh shill marketing” in all the other Alita threads before that some anons made this general. Still being you can see that ir had not stopped him. It might be that he had mightmares about Alita slicing off his face.
The future is now, old man
Are we on sequel course?
Kill yourself tranny scum
Why don't you go hang out in your own thread in user?
Зaпaн - yeбaн.
generals are not tolerated, they're cancer. They are where discussion goes to die as the same diminishing handful of faggots just keep repeating the same tired memes endlessly.
Oh wait, is that why you guys are so sensitive about the face tumor thing? You think its a triple entendre? You're cancer, generals are cancer, alita is cancer?
Cut your fucking throat tourist
I actually got an email from Del Toro back when I was a mod on a Heboy forum on a comic film site. Someone asked about Nihei working on Hellboy. Del Toro said he was a huge fan of Blame! and Nihei's work. He clarified that he asked a jumber of artjsts for design work and Nkhei did a couple pictures of Kronen for the film.
Alita: Idol Angel when?
China seems to like it, so fingers crossed
cancer
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
YOU LIED
YOU TOLD ME SHE DIDN'T GO THROUGH A PUNK BAND PHASE
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
The answer is cancer.
Del Taco never gets anything done though.
garbage perspective work
Pretty based.
Trouble is, Blame! makes Alita seem like Seasame Street. It is even further in the future and devoid of recognizable humanity. It is even more avant garde and out there.
>Rosa was fantastic
This
Rosa was so good that we forget that Rosa exists
She makes Alita real desu with her voice, line delivery, emoting, etc
>made more in China in two days than it did in America over two weeks
Sequel with chink cameos confirmed
That's interesting considering it's a scan from the manga.
Dumb shill.
I'm not sure how you forgot there's a 30 year old spic on screen with googly eyes.
it was more of a prog rock and folk techno jam
>This is a room
>It's the size of Jupiter's orbit
>There is nothing in here
Yes, I see what you mean.
Knights of Sidonia then.
I heard an interesting comment from the viewer at the cinema.
"She is too angry and cruel."
Really?
I think you could adapt it fairly well, but best way to do it would be a dedicated director and a relatively small budget, relying largely on practical FX.
>the CGI model is better looking than the actress
It's finally fucking happening.
Kill yourself faggot
>cyberpunk biopunk mecha harem movie in a colony ship
hmmmm
He's right and you're the faggot.
ITT: My cute user think he will end Alita general with his valiant efforts.
All generals will eventually die of natural causes, not by trolling which will contribute for its longevity. You have watsed your precious life with a stick up your ass.
Wow racism
that viewer sure isnt gonna like the sequels if they come.
Alita being an absolute bloodthirsty cunt is pretty much the rest of the plot
Uhh okay Biomega then?
She has the right to be though.
>was butchered
>94% Audience
Try best mouse
She was a convincing goofy teenager whose joy and hurt was believably sincere. Disappointed to find out Rosa has mostly been in YA crap that I'll never watch. Really need Alita 2 to happen.
>cruel
I had the luck of watching this in the cinema alone and on the row behind me there were families, little kids, middle aged men and women etc
They found the film very brutal and uncomfortable at times, shocking, like the pupper scene or the multiple body mutilation and splitting scenes
They loved the action sequences, like ooh and aahh
They all liked Alita
At the end they were so happy and were congratulating the one who suggested to watch Alita, because noone believed it would be so good
It was interesting
Wow, Bob, wow.
I've been thinking thiz ever since I did a cyberpunk photoshoot for a photo class and used a Blame! costume and props I had. I also wanted to make a replica Alita as Ido found her, but I ran out of time and resources to make it. I joked that maybe I'd beat Cameron to it. Never did. Whelp.
That is her character, she likes fighting and causing other pain, sadisms not really a common trait in heroes but it is something that would make sense for people who find themselves in the role.
Here she is disguised as Aubrey Plaza
Yup
That could be doable. Been ages since I read Biomega and Abara. Just got the new edition of Abara and the Blame! masterpiece editions .
Make her eyes bigger.
Kill yourself reddit nigger
jesus, are the shills referencing the office
like a... Cruel Angel's Thesis?
I'm shilling this film for free. Go see it.
I was looking for music in the mood after Alita.
I found only youtube.com
Need to keep buying new Nihei stuff as it comes out. Maybe one day some auteur will see the potential there.
>"She is too angry and cruel."
Of course she is. That's why she's so entertaining.
Shut up, Larry.
Kill yourself reddit nigger
Have a Moner one.
Why are Mice in such a panic from Alita?
Why can westerners never make a good adaption of japanese material?
Because she invalidates Captain Marvel's marketing angle.
are those jeans or wading pants for fishing?
>these generals will be over in a weeks' time
Even if you didn't like Alita, which is a great adaptation, you'd still have Speed Racer and Edge of Tomorrow.
Alita will change that.
It was supposed to be her turn.
Will she hit 500m in a week? These generals won't die until 500m has been hit.
Edge of Tomorrow was a good movie but it changed almost everything, the characters, story and how the time travel works
Don't ask me, I have no clue about fashion.
I'm looking forward to the Alita threads after the Alita sequel is confirmed
>He got deleted again
OH NO NO NO NO NO
A passing knowlege of the history of cinema and comics invalidates the marketing angle of Captain Marvel.
>Salazar
>Plaza
>Moner
Along with Ana de Armas and X-23 I'm loving all of this Latina kino
Perhaps alita would like to meet sneed?
So sensual.
Cast him
She's oddly cute.
Alita will not stand in the presence of evil, and neither will I.
Why does every picture look like its from a camrip?
Yeah but Alita just came out. You can pretend Blade and Spawn didn't exist before Black Panther because it'd been over a decade since either was relevant.
Alita just came out a week ahead of her, that hurts.
Joseph Gordon Levitt.
cast HIM
Michael Cera.
Kill yourself reddit nigger
Too bad Edward Furlong is fat.
That chocolate bar looks so fucking good.
Where can I buy a bar that fucking thick? Goddamn it hurts every-time you post this.
Gonna go see it for the third time if my local kinoplex ix still running it by Thursday. I need to get further healing from Alita.
>when its confirmed these are paid shill threads and mods are protecting them
Paul Bettany.
I wish young JGL was Hugo instead of poor man's Colin Farrell x Haley Joel Osment. Dude was also a shitty rehash of Freddy Rodriguez from Planet Terror, same parkour moves and all.
i'm honestly shilling this shit just to make alita posters look bad lmao
Calm down lil sista.
proofs?
because your thread with an image of a naked anime girl keeps getting deleted?
Do you guys have a full scanlated original manga?
>Goddamn it hurts every-time you post this.
Shut the fuck up you hyperbolic little faggot
no.44 loooooooooooooooooooooooooool
Isn't funny how the director of Sin City directed Alita?
Like pottery.
nyaa.si has torrents for the entire thing.
Cant find an online reader that doesnt have fucked up chapter-order or just awful resolution
Flan is kino!
there is nothing NSFW about that image
hell, according to you, its from a comic book for children
Can't remember the Planet Terror stuff but I kinda liked the Hugo actor. JGL would have been too emo and the guy they got in to play Hugo pulled off the damaged bad boy rather well.
They have these new places now. They're called super markets.
>paid shill
I do it for free and I will continue to do so until the Maus breaks.
All of this is factual.
It has tons of implications and the shill shit in there is trolling, which is against the board rules, hence why it got deleted. Stop being a bitch, you deserved it.
I actually still used p2p with Direct Connect.
Downnloaded all of Alita because I don't know where in storage my physical copes are. Tempted to get the new Kodansha editions though.
>tfw no blaster knuckle movie
Im surprised the west hasn't jumped on it, its about a black man killing KKK vampires
How is it working to elicit response from you? Everyone wants paid shills to go away.
get em quick, they're quickly becoming sold out.
2-4 week waiting time for them here in Yurop
huh. never did get around to reading that.
at least you're not trying to claim Yea Forums is my secret club
No, I don't see why I would.
In dunno, try to be less obvious of a troll next time.
ahhh thanks mate, may Alita smile upon u
It's part of his script.
Saw it again today. Loved it even more.
Cast her.
Hailee Steinfield
>but she's not brown
Neither is Jashugan in this movie.
Good fit, actually. Jashugan casting has potential for K I N O.
What brand is this?
I actually went to the super market in search of chocolate bars and they didn't have anything near that thick. Every bar was this uniform about 1cm thickness. That bar looks like it's almost an inch thick.
I was actually looking into making a chocolate bar mold and melting down and then tempering my own chocolate just so I can recreate it.
My gameplan was, fashion the positive out of a block of wood, cover that positive with Silicone Plastique to make the negative, melt down like 5 chocolate bars in a double boiler, keep 3 bars in the freezer, then when the chocolate is 3/4ths of the way melted I take it off the boiler, break up the remaining 3 bars and start mixing them in and then I quickly pour that melted chocolate into the mold and hope it tempers properly. I'm still on the fashion the wood block into a positive phase. I'm trying to find some resource to use to estimate the exact dimensions I'll need.
You'll never understand what it's like to truly desire something.
Underrated.
Zaaaaankoku....
Jessica Alba
Lindor I think.
The real question is who could possibly play this man?
>It is even more avant garde and out there.
Exactly why it would be incredibly fucking kino.
nobody
Too much time has passed for him.
It can't be done and shouldn't be done.
I do not even know whether there is a macho actor with a height of 2m.
evil dead 2 era bruce campbell
I knew some autist would eventually do this. God bless you, user.
Guts isn't a manlet.
>Joe Manganiello
Only one that comes to my mind. Still, either cast an unknown or go with Cavill and trick around his height.
Qtpie
I actually think you'd just have to find the right actor with performance capture.
I couldn't even tell Grewishka was Jakey Earle Haley until I saw the credits. I thought it was some meat head looking dude. If you did a berserk movie both Guts and Griffith's impossible appearances could be done via performance capture CGI.
I have watched it 3 times already
I may watch it 2 more, I like it so much
When people ask me I say I watched it only once
Who would win in a fair fight: Alita or Rey?
>Desty Nova
>Desdinova
Coincidence?!?!?!?!
no!!!!!!!!!
Alita can't do anything against Force users.
if the questioning cross on zapans forehead and the imaginos body didn't tip you off yet I don't know what will
Alita, every time.
Depends on which body Alita has.
Oh she can if she's got some of her later bodies.
Fuck that's pretty cool.
Shiki can kill Alita, discuss.
>the author considered color shifting around someone percepting light at impossible speeds
I should read this thing.
Alita.
Alita has the ability to predict what someone will do right before they do it and she can move like 5 times the speed of sound
Rey would die before she had a chance to do anything
Japanese people are autistic that way.
how was that explained again?
She reads the electrical impulses in the body and reacts before the opponents muscles actually move?
something like that, Jashugan explained it to her right?
>Alita has the ability to predict what someone will do right before they do it and she can move like 5 times the speed of sound
Can't jedi?
Rey can bypoass compressors
it's the complete inverse, jedi knights are totally outclassed in speed, skill, power and ability to sustain injury. All they have are precog, but they're too slow to properly utilize it.
Who would win in a fair fight: Alita or Captain Marvel?
Predict yes, but I've yet to see a single jedi move at supersonic speed.
Okay I chuckled.
You can't hack Gally, she's a person.
>jedi move at supersonic speed
I thought they moved at supersonic speed in Phantom Menace
Who would win in a fair fight: Alita or Warhammer 40k?
>I thought they moved at supersonic speed in Phantom Menace
Chapter and verse?
She's not Primarch-tier so Warhammer comes out on top.
At 2:45
youtu.be
That seems like a useful trick...
Amandla Stenberg
The fact that they can still be seen moving at all proves they're nowhere near as fast as Alita
Where can I download the manga?
in personal combat alitaverse has things far nastier than most things in 40k, it just lacks scale
the chain fingers are like mach 1 and can tear through any kind of junkyard material like butter, and it was considered a legal weapon in a place that banned firearms and also is the most backwater place in the solarsystem
space had a guy who could create mushroom clouds with his fists and he was an irrelevant side character
Could a primarch beat zekka?
>a guy who could create mushroom clouds with his fists
I CAST FIST
Hahahaha, no.
Captain Marvel
that is some The Flash tier shit there
Call me a retard, but I've been calling her Atila for a while
primarchs are gay
Nowhere close.
Adeptus Mechanicus love Alita.
I like you, retard
>rereading mars chronicles
>suddenly lolis getting warcrime'd
jesus christ I had almost forgotten how brutal this shit was
She's an angel of the Omnissiah!
>"12 attoseconds is the shortest measurable period of time"
>the flash perceives things less than an attosecond in duration
either 12 attoseconds is not the shortest measurable period of time, or the flash is full of shit.
either way, why are capeshitters so retarded?
Because in 1956 it was decided that all comic books in America must be child-friendly. They never recovered from the lobotomy.
lead poisoning
>child-friendly
meanwhile, in japan...
Based retard.
Atila Bottle Angle is a cool guy and doesnt afraid of anything
Can someone make a big black cock edit already?
But only the real one.
SHAZAM!
Who would win in a fair fight: Alita or Pikachu?
They would just charm each other.
customised for you
Here you go, senpai.
kinda wish the Damascus Blade is a fuckhuge Butterfly knife.
stackable, fuckable, efficient, cute.
I like it
based. anthro robot and monster girls are a plague
>meanwhile in Japan
We Taimanin Asagi now?
hot
I think that's his plan.
arent fuckhuge butterlfy knives traditional weapons in some fourth world asian country?
i seem to recall reading about it somewhere
Demonbane was pretty cool.
Alita was my high school waifu and I wish her all the best
Was she underage or just retarded?
wait the movie turned out good?
i thought it was going to be another ghost in the shell
both actually
Audiences seem to like it at least
I really wish mom pants and 90s clothing wasn't in right now.
Why do you assume the Japanese material was all that great?
will China save us?
>With a global total of $263.3M through Sunday, the expensive movie is looking to final at a worldwide cume above $400M, though getting to profit is still a tricky proposition. The current weekend grossed $92.4M in 82 markets and saw some good holds. France was off 29% for an $11.14M cume; Germany dipped 32% for $5.3M to date; and Australia held No. 1 to cume $5.3M so far.
>The international total is now $202.7M, which is bigger than Ready Player One (+3%) and The Maze Runner (+64%) at current exchange rates.
>Midweeks will help ascertain how front-loaded the film is. The question now becomes how high it can fly across the $100M Middle Kingdom mark.
>overwhelming 94-95 user score on RT and in China
>reviews almost conspiciously kept at 59% with critics who praise capeshit and Marvelshit giving Alita bad rep for the story
Really gets your noggings jogging
Lou Collins is cuter than Alita
>with critics who praise capeshit and Marvelshit giving Alita bad rep
Source?
As soon as the rating rises to 60, it is immediately dropped to 59.
Oh Mouse.
It's a great fucking time. I've seen it twice. Hugo's a bit cringey, but otherwise it's fantastic.
>that moment when Cthulhu shows up and Demonbane one shots it
It actually did a really good job of progressing its power level bit by bit to the point that the Cthulhu scene was completely believable while still being completely outclassed by Nyarlathohotep and the rest of the outer gods it was up against. Its power is ridiculous but well deserved.
The Phillipines?
The source is self-evident. The same "critics" are assessing both.
But RT belongs to Comcast.
Doesn't matter. Critics don't.
Oh, I thought you had specific critics in mind. Carry on.
RT is just an aggregate. The "critics" are in others' pockets.
We can only hope.
Chicago Sun-Times.
>tfw movies like this and games like cyberpunk 2077 might cause a boom in cyberpunk popularity
I sure hope so, id love to see more good media using this kind of setting
alita is cancer?
Yes, quite literally.
what about erica?
is erica cancer?
>Hugo's a bit cringey
I think I might have some kind of developmental disorder where I don't have as much of a problem with bad actors because I didn't have a problem with him yet I keep hearing people say that. I never knew people considered Anakin poorly acted for example and I still don't really see why. I didn't think the guy who played Hugo acted that great or anything but I didn't find him cringey. He seemed maybe more apathetic to what was going on than someone realistically would, but I interpreted that as part of his character. The guy literally dismembers people for a living so he's probably desensitized to a lot
She’s worse than cancer.
DW you're on Yea Forums everyone here has a developmental disorder
I just wanna say that one of my favourite things about the film is that never for a single second does Alita doubt that she can achieve what she needs to do. That kind of strength and force of will is really optimistic and provides inspiration IRL
The first guy I picked that gave it a 2/4 gave both Black Pander and TLJ 4/4. What more evidence do you really need?
She is riddled by doubts in the manga
Same here. I'm actually pretty good reading emotions though, so not sure if I'm really the problem.
To be fair, bad acting never really bothers me in action movies, but it takes a lot of people out of it. For me, *good* acting in something like Alita is just a bonus. He wouldn't stick out so bad were he not surrounded by so much god-tier talent. There are some really great performances in this movie.
There's an important difference between not knowing what the right path is and between believing you can't do it. It's a lot worse to have the second problem than the first
Agreed I think Rosa's acting for Alita was insanely good, really carries the film
Totally.
Hayden was actually not the problem. George's set-work is. He's more of the visionary and technical director - he doesn't work so well with individual actors.
My fear is that if they end up working on the sequel, they won't know where to start and where to end.
>Alita has now 2 double academy award winners in his casting
top kek
Erica is cute!
C U T E !
If anything I think the dialogue was at fault (in AotC). The performances sure could have been better, but for the most part they worked.
>Alita has more academy award winners involved in it's production than any other movie in the past 18 years
Ok watched this on Sunday. Nothing much to report that hasn't been said before.
Kids really liked the Shazam trailer, weren't so interested in the Captain Marvel trailer but they might have seen it before.
Also groups of teenage girls in the audience, but that might just be random - so don't start declaring this the big girls' night out movie yet. It was Sunday evening after all.
>slavery was 200 years ago
>get over it
Jesus Christ, Cameron
I actually enjoyed the raw teen cringiness of Anakin's lines. Might have to do with me actually enjoying intentional cringe, and in this case enjoying unintentional cringe.
How much money did it make so far?
260mill
Only part I had problems getting through was his interaction with Padme when they see each other again on Coruscant after years.
>$263,358,391
Mouse shills on suicide watch
10 bucks and a flip-flop
I'm interested in a sequel
>Estimates vary for the total worldwide gross the film needs in order to break-even, with Fox insiders claiming $350 million but outside financial publications claiming around $400–550 million
>Alita doubled revenue in a single weekend in Asia
It'll break even easy but that'll never be enough for you shills. You'll just keep pushing the number higher and higher.
Since the OVA never reached the later stuff, I think it would be best if they did Vol. 3 and 4 stuff in like 30 minutes and then 90 minutes of Vol. 5 stuff.
Isn't the new translation complete ass?
youtube.com
>Needs $5,000,000,000,000,000 just to break even
>Only made $3.50
How will Alitafags ever recover?
Alita has only made $56.00 gross in Colombia so far, which is far from the 600 trillion dollars it needs to avoid having the entire cast and crew frogmarched into Mexico.
With flan.
My flip-flop!
Do you know where I can get it back?
About tree fiddy. Never gonna break even.
So I think I noticed something, near the end of the movie when Nova drops the slap chop down the tube to kill off Hugo and Alita, the panel he uses looked and operated just like the one Alita used to get into the armor room on the URM ship. If they won I guess they'd have no issues salvaging URM tech if it was superior but it looked the same to me, and Alita was Mars property to before she got tossed down the garbage chute.
Who is this being applied to in this context and what stage we at?
My new passion is enjoying the new energy that this movie has given to the Gunnm following.
It was my introduction to Manga, and i witnessed its popularity at its height and its death.
Its gonna make the money its gonna make, and if we get a sequel we get a sequel.
i'm ambivalent on the movie, but it wasn't bad
They've set up a whole bunch of very blatant twists.
Which is why it's so frustrating that this is a bomba that will never be sequelized.
marvel shills who are currently somewhere between anger and depression because Alita is gonna get a sequel
Und das heisst
Not really, only autistic people will notice anything is different. If you really care that much you can painstakingly edit the old translation onto the new higher quality scans from the new translation.
>that will never be sequelized.
>If you really care that much you can painstakingly edit the old translation onto the new higher quality scans from the new translation.
Hell, I might do just that
E R I K A
Stanley Weber
please get a sequel this was the only action movie in years that felt like it was sure of itself and not just imitating the mouse.
If you do be sure to release it so everyone can have access to the new definitive version. Oh and if you're really focused on it try to fit the movie/new translations naming scheme to keep everything consistent going forward.
Alita wins our hearts
gimme a tl:dr
Is it the tower name autism?
the gally/yoko/alita autism?
Deep down you know I am correct.
How can Alita predict her opponents attacks, yet she is always attacked from behind?
Good luck, user.
To be fair, I think this cucked a good chunk of the interest to see Captain Marvel
She likes it from behind?
She's weak to anal.
Deadpool was enjoyable, even if it's more of a comedy thing than an action thing.
Yeah, I think I'll do that:
>"Grewishka" instead of "Makaku" (from the old translation)
>"Zalem" instead of whatever it was in the old translation
etc.
Where should I release it? Besides TPB/nyaa.si/rutracker.
Thanks, man.
Do Berserker bodies have genitals for recreational purposes? Did Mars think of everything?
