seriously, when is this meme gonna die?
Once the sequel is announced
never
once the marketing team is paid to spam the next pleb approve garbage
every thread till #100
so what is the consensus on alita? is she cute?
You fucking wait until we get our hands on a 4k version of the movie...
The cutest. Cameron has created a nuclear weapons grade waifu
300 years
He fights with his brains.
As we see he doesn't like to fight fair, preferring to ambush and strike first. In the fight we see he is probably distracted with the knowledge that it's 3v1 (in his eyes) and that Alita was just captured.
I buy his backstory that he's a guy who doesn't have a ton to live for and so doesn't mind being reckless. But that goes out the window a bit now that he has Alita, I'm surprised he'd go out the night after she wakes up and potentially die. Because he has Alita now.
Motherfucker dont underestimate autists, have you ever been to the Katawa Shoujo generals over at /vg/?
Soon
Wouldn't that be in a few months? Or is it possible for an earlier leak?
he's gonna weasel out of it because the blu-ray won't be released by the time the general hits 100, and he hopes it will be forgotten by the time it released
She is merely a child, you know.
Salt is delicious too. Makes things taste good.
Alita deserves a DMC-like game with the following stylishness levels
>Orange Peel
>Orange
>Chocolate
>CHOCOLATE ORANGE
You are scared of having to eat the dics?
>Katawa Shoujo General #3612
Holy shit....
He still has the grudge against people like Casper Van Dien. He wants to kill the monsters who are killing young women, women that could be Alita, both the cyborg and his daughter.
Is this why leftoids love it so much?
What would you do to protec this smile /abag/?

Video Games = "entertainment" sensibility = reddit = autism
This is predominantly an art board (the "entertainment" shit that is constantly being discussed here is a result of crossposters(like you) from pleb boards like Yea Forums and Yea Forums
True cinema = art which is the opposite to autism and in turn the opposite to video games.
The sensibilities resulting in video game appreciation are diametrically opposed to the appreciation of cinema as "art". Videogames/autism/"entertainment" are the reason for capeshit and trash like this movie.
Know your place, scum. Your tourist resort is hosted by my art board
I will repost the img once the blu ray is out with a #100 cap so that he can never escape
I don't know... didn't see her smiling by the end, looks like she is fighting to protec her revenge only.
I left my computer for 30min and theres already a new general. So this is the true power of Alita... i like it anons
we'll have to just cherish whatever she expresses user
>and trash like this movie
I was on board with your rant but how dare you talk shit on Alita. Its over for you boomer youre gonna get FLUSHED AWAY
The naysayers make it easy for us. Truly they do not understand the nature of Yea Forums.
She would definetly overheat user.
I unironically want that plushie really bad now. Please tell me it's sold somewhere.
What would you do to protec these trembling lips /abag/?
I can't believe some "writers" are talking about whitewashing in Alita, citing lack of Azns.
Surely someone that worked on the film knows about this, you wont find a hype train of this quality anywhere else
Is this the waifu singularity? The quantum waifu even?
youtube.com
What white-washing, did they even read the manga? The most Asian she gets is being named Yoko at some point.
formerly small guy
Just finished watching this kino holy shit Yea Forums wasnt wrong for once i didnt find her cute in the trailers but fucking hell once you see her in her full glory theres no denying shes on another level of CUTE
>i didnt find her cute in the trailers but fucking hell once you see her in her full glory theres no denying shes on another level of CUTE
Same, funny how you forget the big eyes the moment she starts talking and smiling.

>Yea Forums
Yea Forums isn't praising it
Imagine a 30 seconds webm with the full cheek caressing and kissu...
Same here. I didn't even watch the full trailer because I thought those big eyes were stupid. But 5 mins into the movie and you learn how to love those eyes.

Hmm something doesn't add up here
It's the whole waking up scene. It's just beyond precious. Right at the beginning and you're instilled with a subconscious desire to protect.
Theres also been over 1000 game of thrones generals
You're hosted by us
I'm waiting for the e x t r a expressive scene where she yells at Ido for not merging her with the berzerker body. Also her doing her angry faces at her first fight with Grewishka.

wow I didn't know Yea Forums could be so singularly united about anything thank you for letting us do our thing
You brought up generals and how that makes it Yea Forums
The reality show generals are from Yea Forums, game of thrones general is from reddit, dr who general was from tumblr, found horror shit from [site trigger spam filter]
Ask them which of the characters in the manga were Asian and what characteristics make them think they're Asian.
are there any anons in SJ,CA down to see it tomorrow
RT removes want to see score ahead of of Captain Marvel.

> that fair trade pseudo chocolate
might as well eat charcoal, certainly not Alita approved
concept art incoming
Why am I here?...There is nothing left to discuss. We're just waifufagging here
meant for this
If 99's mission is to destroy Zalem, does that mean she's competing in motorball to become final champion to get to Zalem then drop Zalem on Iron City and kill everyone who was cheering for her at the end of the movie?
This would have been a cool shot in the movie
>As of February 25, we will no longer show the ‘Want to See’ percentage score for a movie during its pre-release period.
OHNONONONO
Fuck, that's beautiful man. Whatever you have to say about the story or plot or characterization, Cameron fucking nailed the cyberpunk aesthetic down to a fucking T. Goddamn. Just one more reason I want that goddamn sequel. I NEED more cyberscenery porn
weeeee~
Yes we are, faggot. And you can do absolutely nothing about it.
Does anyone own the book? How nice is it?
shhh we're only halfway there to 100
>As of February 25, we will no longer show the ‘Want to See’ percentage score for a movie during its pre-release period.
So they're getting rid of it entirely then? Otherwise what is the point of saying you want to see a movie or not on their site if noone can see how many people are interested in seeing it? So fucking dumb
this
Uhmmm they do sweetie
something about these shots look better than in the movie. Maybe it's just me or maybe it''s the 3D glasses?
I dont think thats her goal, and in the mango she ends up saving it with a special body from colonel sanders guy
Found them on this site
muddycolors.com
lmfaooooo. You just KNOW RT received a nice fat check in the mail with a probably not so thinly veiled "request" to remove certain features.
To be honest, that city doesn't even look bad. Hell it looks comfy and lively as fuck
Do we have any explanation about the water around the city?
>Disney paid us a lot of money to remove this feature
>3dpd is already trying to adapt
On the bright side, maybe this will jumpstart research into human genetic engineering and then someday well get qt anime girls.
and that's all I have
Gelda said "Finish the mission. Destroy Zalem." when she saved 99 from falling off the supply tube. I suppose "destroy" doesn't necessarily mean physical. She could destroy the political, economic, and social structures but that would be a dull movie.
This is my favorite dark chocolate. Don't care for the freetrade stuff, but it tastes great. I can't even eat milk chocolate anymore it's way too sweet. I bet you put sugar in your coffee.
Did the chocolate taste like coffee?
>something about these shots look better than in the movie
It's usually the case with concept art. Concept art, because it's art and not digitally rendered "reality" within a a moving picture, has much more artistic license and freedom. There are so many games, shows and movies where the concept art was beyond gorgeous but unfortunately had to be toned down or scrapped for some reason or another.
Like this one from the game Remember Me, for instance.
How was it metophorically queer? Trannies are in denial that trad is kino.
>I make my dull contrived statements seem interesting by adding exclamation points! I confuse robots with cyborgs like the basic fuck I am!
I thought the character was annoying
It's pretty nice, there's quite a lot of art in it along with text that elaborates on the topic of the page. There's even concept art for Jashugan and Crimson Wind.
Not in particular.
uhhh glad they enjoyed it??? what a shitty review
nice nice
Great stuff. It looks more blade runner than the city we ended up with. Hoping we see more of that side of the city in Fallen Angel.
I dunno. There still seemed to be too many humans without cybernetics. I may be remembering the manga wrong, but I thought it looked like too many normal humans around. Though I guess I can see why for budget reasons.
God-tier taste in chocolate, user.
>Robot dogs
>Trans moods
>metaphorically queer
He is not a good guy, but he makes ALITA smile so I guess that is enough.
I think they’re going to use the same twist as the manga where in her past life Alita was actually a terrorist and we’re not supposed to be rooting for her in these flashback scenes.
If anyone if trying to get their Alita fix, listening to the soundtrack is really fantastic. They weave the theme into lots of the tracks, so great to listen to

Nope. Not gonna happen. Sorry.

>genuine reddit spacing
Don't ever post at me again unless I tell you
I assumed both skycity government and Mars government were probably corrupt and ammoral at best or totally evil at worst. But then, why would would 99 be trained to not stand by in the presence of evil?
does this trigger you?
lol
I believe in the manga it's actually acid
I could watch this forever.
I’m actually surprised how much Tom Holkenberg has developed as a composer. When he first started writing film scores he would never use woodwinds and rarely choir and the instruments were always mixed to sound synthetic. With Alita seems he’s finally fully embraced the full orchestra and stepped away from endlessly reusing his aggressive Man-of-Steel-style drum loops. The Motorball track is the only place where he lets loose with his old style.
Does pointing out Alita fans aren't from Yea Forums and love pleb dogshit trigger you?
>BTFO son of an ugly globina cunt
Yeah I wonder if she will be emo now.
I guess not, cause I'm still here, lmao
>I give it a ZHENG because Alita is hot :3
Absolutely based.
What terrorist doesn’t think they’re fighting for good, user? I’m not saying she’ll discover she used to be a puppy-eating sociopath, but that the war she used to be fighting wasn’t as morally clear cut as she assumed, and that destroying zalem wasn’t exactly for benevolent reasons.
Why not? The movies seem to be leading up to it, with the next one being titled “Fallen Angel” and all.
btfo
>genuine reddit spacing
Imagine being triggered by some blank space. LOL!
I mean, she does smile more in the manga and she gets a second love interest. But with the film taking some liberties with some character moments, I don't think they'll let Alita go full on isolated and depressed. She'll be sad a lot more, but for the sake of audience reception, she'll just be neutral with some light hearted moments.
>didn't deny it
How many times have you begged the janitor and mod to save you so far? Especially when you get called shill
I think she’ll be more serious and driven and less naive and goofy, but there’ll definitely still be cute moments. Even in the manga when she was at her most depressed she still had a kind of offbeat charm and sincerity to her.
350 times
Because it is stupid, user. Cameron and Rodríguez are not stupid.
Moral relativism makes for shit movies.
Have we got a green light on the sequel yet anons???
>but for the sake of audience reception
I think you're thinking more along the lines of what you want to see rather than what will actually probably happen. Don't get me wrong we both want the same things, but in the sequel there's bound to be some big depression
How do you define terrorist? She appeared to be a formally trained military regular. Are you saying that Mars government are the bad guys skycity government are actually the guys? I guess the real questions is: why did URM attack the skycities? I'm not assuming either of them are good guys and 99 was just doing her job. I do think the ending hints at her finishing the mission like Gelda said, though, which most likely means dropping the Zalem on Iron City. I think 99 will have some sort of epiphany that redeems Zalem.
no but RR is ready to given the chance.
I have to say the score is growing on me, I really like in the clouds. I see it as a subtle score though that doesn't draw a lot of attention.
You'll probably need to wait a few months for the box office to taper out, Fox execs to figure out how much was made, and then for James Cameron to figure out if he wants a sequel or not. I really doubt it will be sooner then that.
>gets a second love interest
I wonder how Jimbo and Rodriguez are going to handle this without it feeling jarring or shoehorned. Figure Four in the manga is pretty irrelevant to the main story until Last Order, which they’re not adapting.
I think they’ll go with one of the following
>Alita is single for the other two movies (unlikely)
>resurrect Hugo (I seriously hope they don’t do this)
>figure four is in, but with an expanded role and changed backstory, introduce him during the next film
>kaos becomes the love interest instead, possibly merged into a single character with figure four
There will be, but I'm curious how far they'll take it.
The focus wont be on that, they even said during the movie it was 300 yrs ago. And the system is a different place now.
>>figure four is in, but with an expanded role and changed backstory, introduce him during the next film
>>kaos becomes the love interest instead, possibly merged into a single character with figure four
More than likely these two options. If they were even going to consider reviving Hugo, which thank god they didn't, they wouldn't have the months time skip at the end of the film.
did anyone go see the 4D release yet?
they could have figure partner with her the next movie, maybe try to flirt with her a it but keep getting shot down. Than on third, they can have something going on by the end
Post results if you do user, that looks awesome to do
Well, in the manga she discovers that her past self is responsible for a lot of the problems in the setting by trying to destroy Jeru. They’re not going to go this route for the film but they could probably still adapt the same general idea, that she’s not getting the full context from her flashbacks and once she discovers whatever really happened in the past it’ll be some kind of shock or moral dilemma. I think there’s a reason this movie doesn’t show what happens when she climbed into Zalem in the past, give too much context on why they want to destroy Zalem and Nova, or depict what caused alita to end up a dismembered amnesiac torso. They’re saving it for some kind of reveal.
The audience doesn't care. They haven't forgotten 9/11, Timothy McVeigh, or ISIS.
Only a complete jackass would try to sell a terrorist hero.
pure fucking soiboy shit
holy shit
No, there's no 4D theater anywhere near me even in car driving distance. Can't see how it's not a gimmick though so I'm not complaining.
Yeah I'm actually agreeing with you.
One theme here is that she has been given a fresh start, and it's up to her to decide to be good or not. The focus will be on her realizing more about her past, and some of the dirty parts of it.
I don't think they'll take it in the direction of she wakes up and realizes she needs to 'finish the mission'. But I fully expect she'll go up to Zalem and take out the evil she sees there.
>I give it a Zheng because Alita is hot.
This fucking Jap is so based.
The issue is that figure four is basically a mercenary Alita bumps into while working for Zalem, goes on some random adventures for a while, and then leaves him at his hometown to carry on with the main storyline. He was pretty much just there to serve as a love interest. They’d need to seriously rework pretty much everything about him to fit him into the story of the next two films.
thread 100 will hit when Alita cracks half a billion waifubux
I WANT HER TO PROTEC AND LOVE ME WHILE I PROTEC HER SMILE IT IS NOT FAIR
Look on the bright side Goose, you still have your JOI videos. Cells.
What was his endgame? She doesn't have a vagina.
This, most realistically, remember, it is a Hollywood adaptation that only has 2 potential films to work with, it has to make sense for a two hour traditional script, each film. Build up and pay off is what will matter.
>jap
This is a chink weeb.
No. Basedboys hate themselves and spend all day virtue signaling. What part of creating a prop from a movie is that?
QRD on the PROTEC HER SMILE meme, stat!
>She doesn't have a vagina.
Did you see what she did with that hole that got stabbed in her new body?
Yeah, that's my conflict. At this point, it's hard to tell what they'll do, 'cause theoretically, if two films are made, that's only four more hours of story they can do and they have to pick essentials.
Until he turned around on the tube his endgame was Zalem.
it was teenage love user, it transcends the physical
Finally someone said it is Gally and Yoko, not Alita and Rosa. Akihito banzai.
So he's after that nanotech robopussy, got it.
The realisation/ depression just fucking hit me.
>Disney is buying fox
So odds are they're not gonna release the sequel. And if they do, it would be sjw shitfest because disney ruins everything they touch. Star wars, capeshit, even FROZEN is kike propaganda now, it was over before it even begun
Even if he couldn't fuck her, which she could make a vagina, it would to just be happy with her.
Will /ourqt/ make it 300m, bros?
Not likely. James Cameron had complete control over this film, he's said it. Fox had no input on what would go in to it. Even under the cloud of Disney, they know how influential Cameron is. I mean, just look at his Avatar Land in Animal Kingdom. They would let him make the movie.
stop shilling this shit you pathetic losers
Mouth.
And you just KNOW that URM gave them the muscular control for 10/10 handjobs
He doesnt know about the nano vagina
Not a chance, this movie is too problematic.
Dude, it will make more than that by Friday. It's probably going to make 400 million plus in the next two weeks.
>See that? That's the bar. We're going to raise it, my friend
I would be so fucking happy with cuddling to sleep and movie watching together with the ocasional kissu that I would not even care about a pussy.
P U R E
He loved just feeling her all over and kissing her lifelike face, was happy he found his waifu. Then he was kill.
The fact Cameron acknowledged the bar meme is amazing.
Are you gonna lurk every general and say the same dumb thing? Been here since 2009 and I'm a big fan of the movie. Suck my dick you newfag.
Cry more
He was kill because he was tragically flawed to his core. And because of his death, Alita matures.
Shieeet man you've got a point actually. I probably shouldn't doubt the power/influence of a director that made the two highest grossing films of all time
I'm so relieved it's in Cameron's hands. He wont make a sequel unless it's good. I'd rather not have a sequel then have disney shit all over it.
Originally he wanted to cut her up and use sell her for some change. His black friend says as much during their confrontation during the end. "Man you should have shanked that bitch when you had the chance" or something along the lines of that.
And consider, he's still coming out with his Avatar films under Fox even with Disney buying it. Imagine, if Avatar 2 makes a billion dollars, they'll easily let him finish the Alita trilogy.
>he doesn't want just the attention and affection of a girl who just loves you for you
>he still thinks it's about the sex
teenager detected
I miss Blade fellas.
He said "jacked" I think. Taking parts from cyborgs is jacking.
He didn't earn her love anyway, it was never gonna work out.
Blade was fucking kino
Thanks for sharing my exquisite post history on Yea Forums brah (and the free (you))!
Yeah that's the word I was looking. Couldn't for the life of me remember what it was though.
Does it bother anyone else that a teenager could save up 910,000 credits and buy a once in a life trip to Zalem? It's like he's some kingpin not a low thug.
Yeah, she easily fell in love with him because he was the first. I mean, he did spend time with her, introduce her to new things, and such, but he created a lot of problems for her, and now she's going to be more mature because of that relationship.

Isn't it just surreal when you come across a post in the archive that you know YOU made, and sometimes you just can't imagine what you were thinking at the time to make such a post? Like you were a totally different person.
>Marvel will never fix their shit and make an R-rated Tomb of Dracula movie with Wesley Snipes as Blade
Do you think she would have fallen for any guy if they became friends with her?
I've spent the last ten years resenting Avatar because it's just another Pocahontas/Fern Gully. But I'm sorry Jim, I didn't realize it was just a tech demo for Alita.
I don't know about fallen angels but I've been waiting for transhumanism to become real since the late 90's and I'm still fucking waiting.
Flesh is weak. Replace it.
>Not going to see a James Cameron film automatically because it's a James Cameron film
That's the mark of a true pleb
Bruh, he was part of a fucking racket. It was a scam the whole time. Vector was lying to him, or rather not feeding him the whole truth. Literally the equivalent of a ponzi scheme victim. Fooled into thinking he was a hotshot but he wasn't shit.
Hmmm, not necessarily. But because he was the first who actually devoted spending time with her, that's why. If another man spent time with her in a similar fashion, then yes, she probably would have.
jim was out saviour all along
>it's one of those videos
I never actually watch these, but I enjoy watching like the first few minutes for the laughs. Just to see how crazy the person is and how much (or rather little) they actually know what they're talking about.
>Jim, what are you waiting for? It's been more than ten years.
>They're not ready yet.
hugo getting shredded to bits was the best part
Vector was his seller. He didn't have 910,000 credits, he stole 910,000 credits worth of parts and gave it to Vector for a piddly share. Vector probably wasn't even telling him the actual value of what he was stealing.
praise be.
I fucking missed Jim posting.
Damn shame, it would be pretty damn badass movie/trilogy. It is too depressing to think about it.
She still has Ido who she finally called father and will always support her
and she was already becoming a common folk hero through Motorball, which was a step up from wanting to help people as a bounty hunter until she wised up to how corrupt the city is
she's like a younger, female cyborg Batman out to get revenge against future science Joker, maybe bonding with new people along the way
Sure. Or see your post in some old screencap. I think I have a post in the screencap of the "LOL at screenshot, has anyone ever been so far even as decided to use go want to look more like" thread. I posted in the thread.
I don't regret any posts on this shitty website though. I only post like 10 times a month anyways.
Pretty sure nobody wants to do anything with Snipes anymore.
Don't just sit there, waddle over and stutter out "y-you're a b-big guy" to your new friend
Yeah I guess it's just that he's really dumb then to think that some 19 yo punk could save up enough to go to Zalem, when other people (like Charin) have real skills and presumably way more money than a 19 yo could save up, and they can't go.
>"Hey a-user. Y-you're a big guy."
>Y-you too."
Sure, he's not young anymore, but I don't think tax evasion is that taboo of a subject to keep him out of work.

Box office fag back. As of Tuesday morning, China's total run for Alita: Battle Angel sits at 74.5 million dollars. It's holding pretty decently and as expected. This weekend will the battle between the angel and the dragon.
piaofang.maoyan.com
Can you take a metra line to the city? If so, just do that and then catch a bus or ridershare to the pier. For Alita of course
Hey guys, this new poster was just officially released for the Chinese market. It's dubbed "The Angel Heart."
Tempting, but I'm too much of a wagecuck to call off work and am not available until the weekend, by that time it won't be playing there. I'll continue supporting the movie from DuPage.
FUCK man, this is fucking bullshit! Why do those bugpeople keep getting this sick ass posters?
She is the angel of my heart
Guys... I think a sequel is most definitely happening. I mean, this official article from Maoyan is fucking raving about how good it is and how good it's doing in surrounding countries. Cameron will definitely notice.
that is a fantastic poster
Because they have higher standards than Americans.
I really just wanna read some honest Chinese reviews of this movie. Like, what does the average Chinese moviegoer think of it?
Same for the Japanese too, do they enjoy it compared to the manga?
Because they love Alita and America does not.
based poster, all ours are so bland
Some motherfucker's always trying to ice skate uphill.
If you want that, you'll have to dig in to China's exclusive social media platforms. From what I've gathered, the general audience of China really likes the film. I've found some comments saying the story is just alright, but the overwhelming majority likes it and especially loves it's effects.
The waifuism you see in these general threads, but several times stronger. Some of us might be willing to see the movie 12 times, but many chinks would be willing to die for Alita
CAN'T WAKE UP
kek
it's amazing. Cameron has a knack for getting repeat views. I remember the Titantic sensation and Leomania that caused teenage girls to see Titanic like 7 times. And I'm sure Avatar was much the same for people wanting to experience Pandora over and over.
Cameron is Building Better Worlds.
Ideal 3D.
>coming soon to a VR Porn Cosplay near you
thank mr Xinping pls encourage more waifusm
Okay, so I dug up this old article from back in 2006 where Cameron talks Avatar and then Battle Angel. He said he would follow the model of the Pirates Of The Caribbean films, that if the movie made money, they would shoot both movies back to back. So question, if Alita does manage to pass 400 to 450 million worldwide with China fucking raving about it, will James actually go the full step and finance two Alita sequels at once with a 300 million dollar budget for both films? And have Rodriguez shoot them back to back?
I'm worried that even china won't be enough....
I'd have been happier if he'd compared them to LotR instead of PotC but I sure hope this happens.
It should be fine with it's tracking. The only aspect of the film that will be deemed a disappointment is it's domestic run. It didn't bomb in the states, but wasn't anything to celebrate.
OH GOD I HOPE SO.
That means then that even if the sequel doesn't land as well, we are still guaranteed a third movie to finish it.
He actually did mention LOTR and said they took a huge risk filming all three back to back and he didn't like that. He said two was a good middle ground.
I watched her smile in the cinema three times.
I want to get my hands on one of these posters the design is fucking fantastic
Why is America so shit? Like what the fuck are people watching in theaters right now?
I'm curious though if 450 million would be enough for him to do that. I think it would be a safe move to just do a 275 to 300 million back to back shoot, that way each film has a 150 million budget.
Hey, uh, what if Alita ate a bunch of chocolate and gained weight? Man that would be sooooooooo funny hahahahahaa
As long as we get them I will praise Jimbo.
Nothing. If you looked at the weekend Alita came out, just in general, people didn't go the cinemas much.
I'm just hoping that it will be enough that he will do it to its full extent and be buttressed by whatever returns he makes on the Avatar sequels.
>not would be willing to die for Alita
Absolutely haram.
Seems like it would be pretty easy to make, if this movie continues to make money I think more merchandise like that would be inevitable.
so if Alita bombs could cameron just make the films himself? Does he have that much clout?
But why? What's keeping regular people from going to see a movie that's obviously just the kind of fun action flick they love when they watch F&F or Transformers or MCU shit?
Damn straight!
>Alita ate a bunch of chocolate and gained weight
>cyborg
She already weighs more than a hundred pounds.
I was born two years after titanic but saw the movie some ungodly number of times thanks to family being obsessed with it. Still doesn't get old even today, I don't know how he fuckin does it.
And then he changed the world with avatar, and now he's taken over all of china with Alita.
How come there arent statues of this man?
After Titanic and Avatar I don't see how anyone could have more clout than him.
Wait, she poops?????????? PLEASE tell me she poops in the manga!
Not him, but I blame shitty marketing
I mean you just saw her in the toilet...
-_- I´m not ready..
Those collectible tickets have codes for mini posters, poast codes
Maybe he left one in the trench.
This is from the manga's bonus page.
Disney sabotaged a lot of things for alita
I hate to admit it, the marketing wasn't in full force in America and the uncanny eyes turned some people off. Plus, they didn't understand Cameron had been working on this film for years and was originally supposed to take Avatar's place. I don't think they capitalized on American cinemas as much, hell, I wonder if they even expected it to do well here. It's so obvious it was better handled in China. I think they knew overseas box office was more important, and based on how it's doing overseas right now, it's paying off back. It actually more than doubled it's entire foreign gross in just it's second three day weekend. This film is doing exactly how they wanted overseas. It's really only the US that's not keeping up.
Honestly I blame the original trailers, marketing and the glut of shitty anime adaptations - people were immediately turned off by the eyes and just the idea of another shitty Hollywood anime movie. Being completely honest, I didn't even want to watch this movie at first until I kept seeing people here talking about it, so I broke down, took a chance, and haven't regretted it since.
That said, I've tried to get some friends into it, and half hated it and the other half loved it. The half that hated it felt the story was way too random and disjointed and that people just appeared and things just happened randomly... combine that with the cheesy dialogue and they just thought it was a terrible joke. The other half (like me) were able to keep up and appreciate the movie's sincerity and 90s flare. Plus Alita.
But going off this anecdote, the movie has received mixed reviews depending on where you look. Combine that with the revulsion to and mockery of the original trailers and you get a largely apathetic audience who likely just avoided it out of fear of potentially wasting money.
I guarantee that when this comes out on Netflix, Prime, whatever, people will come around to it much more as they can easily just watch it (or rewatch it) in the comfort of their own homes at their own pace. That should help build up actual hype for the sequel.
No they didn't, refer to . Disney bought Fox, they would capitalize on it.
except for plebs who love disney shit praising it
>Japanese
From Yukito's official Gunnm forum
This, the trailers turned me off of it and I didn't care about the movie until people started telling me it was actually good.
>shill for free on social media
>participate in battle angel generals
>tell coworkers and randoms about alitafu
>go see it for a 3rd time tonight with frens
what have you done today user?
I find it interesting though that this is only happening in the states.
>RPO 5 stars
How would you market this movie better. No matter how you cut the trailer it's gonna look like some random sci fi young adult movie that we've had enough of (maze runner, jupiter ascending, divergent, valeran 1000, etc).
Predict Alita's weekend box office for this week
I've had coffee and read the morning Alita general.
Compare the Japanese trailer to the US one
>I didn't even want to watch this movie at first until I kept seeing people here talking about it, so I broke down, took a chance, and haven't regretted it since.
Exact same boat here, no clue how they could've avoided it though.
Actually they all have the same code on the back (you gotta log into the site and put in the ticket reservation info) and you have to pay for shipping, sorry user.

Well we were just at the perfect shit storm epicenter for it - we've got a burgeoning weeb culture that has been largely turned off by Hollywood anime adaptations. And we have an extensive meme culture that went to town eviscerating any credibility the original trailers and marketing for this movie might have had. Finally, we are heavily steeped in irony and post-irony, meaning everything has to be self-aware and self-degrading to be accepted. Honesty and sincerity will be laughed out of the theater by jaded fucks, so the dialogue in this movie just couldn't resonate with some people on first watch.
Whats with the w? Also, based horny jap poster.
I'm seeing it tomorrow morning. Will be my fourth time.
>I guarantee that when this comes out on Netflix, Prime, whatever, people will come around to it much more as they can easily just watch it (or rewatch it) in the comfort of their own homes at their own pace.
Can't wait for the onslaught of people going, "I should've seen it in the theater! Why didn't I go?"
True, I don't think James Cameron anticipated so many young adult movies being made inbetween the time he announced the film and it's actual release.
Fuck outta here with that number. It will do 6 to 7 million US 3 day weekend and will make another 70 to 90 million from the foreign market.
This is so adorable it actually makes my heart ache. How did they make her so perfect???
literally who?
who cares what some pleb thinks
Jimbo worked on it for over a decade, he had the time to get it right.
aw boo, I wish I had some of those theaters around me
W in Jap net speak is how they LOL.
Damn I wonder if likewise, japs sometimes translate english things and laugh at how goofy it sounds for them
the comfiest morning desu
