Reminder to the lurkers. Yea Forums DOES NOT like this pleb trash
the cycle is never wrong
>plebs come to Yea Forums to talk about it and spew their optimistic and positive opinions about it
>the patrician regular posters either wait for for the rip or are in the minority
>the plebs leave because they have other boards to shitpost on
>all that's left are the regular Yea Forums posters
>they usually hate it since movies like this tend to be shit
>reposting my response in this new thread.
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.

LETS GOOOO. These threads are by far better than all the /pol/, sjw, blacked, pedo bullshit. Finnaly a movie we can all talk about without that other shit.
to a 100
NEXT GOAL: 400 MILLION! LET'S GET IT THERE!
SEE IT IN 4D
The movie flopped, no amount of Dredd-level cheerleading will help it to get a sequel. Just treat it like a beautiful anomaly and move on.
Reminder, here's the new official Chinese poster for Alita, dubbed "The Angel Heart."
Alita generals are so comfy
I'm scared that china won't be enough bros....
>Comparing Alita to Dredd
Dredd legit fucking bombed, Alita is actually going to break even.
Reminder to the lurkers - mouse bot afraid of ordinary girl.
On ebay, the chinese poster sellers are already selling the swirly sky one so hopefully this'll be up soon
Disney and capeshit plebs love it so theres a very good chance it will
Dubs and 99 confirm
move on to what?
Ah, but you have failed to take into account that 4channel as a whole loves cute things, and Alita is a cute thing, and therefore your patrician claims fall flat!
How come China gets all the kino posters? I only saw the basic blue-orange poster at the cinema
Captain Marvel, sweetheart. Buy your ticket and give it to someone who isn't a white cis-male
Didn't you post this last thread?
good night alitabros. Until tomorrow.
Also we really, really need more pictures of comfy snuggly bedtime Alita
I occasionally post some of the things you mentioned, but this is truly a unification that we can all enjoy alita generals. This is my 4th one today
Anyone have any solid reactions for 2ch? Or Futaba, or whatever the Japanese original image board is called again? I wanna know what their neckbeards and otaku think.
Also I've been thinking about the timing of this movie - even if its reception in the US has been lukewarm, I really feel like Cameron chose the right time to release this movie to capture the anime and Jap culture zeitgeist we have going on at the moment. There hasn't yet been a Hollywood movie to truly capture the wonders of anime or manga on the big screen, even though there is clearly a growing culture for it. This movie could be that touchstone, and it could easily shape things in ways we can't imagine going forward. Though this all largely depends on its sequels, and if they are good.
The Beach Bum by Korine aka actual authentic Yea Forums kino
Dredd was also kino, but ABA is on a whole another level.
Fuck yeah!
good night, i'm heading off as well. It was a good run today
Are we getting a sequel, fellas? I need more Alita.
>released on valentine's day
Those sneaky marketers knew what they were doing, vacuuming up the dateless, lonely incels for the premiere.
They will pull through.
150 million more to go at the worldwide box office and it's more than likely getting made.
probably not.....
Yes Alita 3? probably not, but 2 will happen since it's a pleb favorite
Literally whos, rating Alita 4/5 stars, what's your point
>What would you do to protec this smile /abag/?
Fight.
What's with the constant .... at the end of your posts? You autistic or something?
Crazy kids in the submarine? What?
This, it's so nice in here
Have you guys done it for her?
Yes.
I wouldn't be so pessimistic - if this movie warrants a sequel, Cameron said he would do 2 then back to back.
He already has the tech, crew, sets and design ready to go, he just needs time to craft it.
Nice looking art there.. Someone should take that and turn it into transformers..
They're the average plebs that helped with get 95% audience score on RT
You know the numbers you've been championing
Comfy pic for both of you
Based user
You mean fapped vigorously? Yes, I have.
>looks like a Hillary Clinton presidential election poster
>slogan is, "Do it for her."
lmao
>I've seen Alita: Battle Angel 167 times and it keeps getting better every single time I see it!
If you're still worried just look at Camerons twitter. He completely idolizes Alita and will do what needs to be done for a sequel
I'm debating on seeing it at the legit IMAX screen at the Chinese Theater. I have already seen it once in 2D and once in LIEMAX 3D. I will buy a expensive special edition blu ray of it too.
Thanking you kindly sir.
Based insectoids and their kino taste
>millennials don't know a Simpsons meme when they see one
Checked
has he been commenting on the box office
Several times already but I'm poor and can only go 1 more time this coming weekend. This last stretch is up to you, rich anons. You better protect our girl.
>if it hits
>if
>if
Cameron has always been a businessman, my dear.
Well she is based
>The role of Alita came along at a time when Salazar said she was dealing with her outrage over the 2016 election of U.S. President Donald Trump.
>"I was one of those people who was really hoping Trump wouldn't win," she said. "And I voted, but it's not enough and it was incongruous for me because I am playing a character named Alita, who literally defies everything in her path to help (other people.)"

>zoomers
Taking my boomer dad this Sunday bro.
3/10 bait and falseflag
No, strangley do not see her as a sex object. Just a good protagonist. Someone to root for regardless of gender or race. The future she lives in is our inevitable future also. It feels natural to root for her.
No, latest thing is some promotional stuff for china
My good friend Alita is so pretty, and her movie is great!
I wasn't aware these dudes were into waifus until this movie came out.
I've seen it multiple times in imax 3d, and I can confidently say you will not regret it for a second.
They're only human after all.
I can forgive her nonsense by sheer fact that Alita wouldn't be Alita without Rosa. Her facial expression skills were key to bringing her to life, as were her lips. Combine that with her sultry older yet still innocent sounding voice and you've got the components to this weapons grade waifu.
>that shading style on the heart
It's a good replication of the manga artsyle. If they actually hired Yukito Kishiro for that poster that would be dope as fuck
True enough.
>yas queen roastie being ebic for 6 minutes
If this single tweet doesn't convince you of his love, I don't know what will. Cameron spent 20 years pushing film tech to its limits and dropping the highest grossing film ever just for his waifu.
Finally watched it.
I must say it was really good. By far the best cgi I've ever seen.
The ugly 32yo Shrek larping as 16yo Leo dying like a dumbass in the end redeemed what would have otherwise been a huge flaw. I look forward to rewatching it knowing that he dies, and hopefully the sequels.
>yas queen roastie
user, you're not talking about Brie Larson right now.
Based waifu chad Cameron!
She’s not wrong tho
Mr. Cameron I loved the movie
Good night guys! Going to see the film again the second I wake up in the morning, got my tickets. We're going fucking strong and we will get there, my boys. We're in the home stretch. We just got some more fighting to do.
>IT WAS HER TUUUURN
Yeah we know how you feel tranny
your constant spamming for the last few years has made it clear
we don't deserve cameron
I'm going to see it twice again this weekend just like I did the past two weekends before.
We really fucking don't. As long as it hits that sweet box office spot, he will push for the sequel.
I never once doubted you, Mr.Cameron. Also if you're in here, thanks Rob, your movie was good.
I want to FUCK the robot.
Going to see the movie for the first time tuesday night
we don't need him either
holy fucking cringe
I wonder if Cameron has seen these threads.
Given the recent shitposting on Yea Forums tonight. It made me wonder something. Is Alita moé?
we are kings on this day
HE DID IT FOR HER. HE MADE IT TO THE OCEAN FLOOR FOR HER. The greatest boomer who ever lived
Conviced a few poeople to see it already
Unironically this. I can't remember the last time I was so enamoured with a Hollywood blockbuster.
As long as the artists don't let it infest the work then I don't really give a fuck
but user the administration as a whole is nuts
it doesn't matter if you think it started with promise its clearly off the rails now
As long as his politics don't interfere with his movies, whatever. This
what does Alita's breath smell like?
Yes! Yes she is.
I want to spend CUTE time with the cyborg
enjoy user tell us what you think
Chocolate.
>As long as the artists don't let it infest the work
>"Iron city", originally "Dumpster City", was a hellhole of human and inhuman misery devoid of morals, everyone is trash and treated as such. Everyone slaves off for the factory, no one can rebel against them, motorball is not a sport, but a beastly distraction for adrenaline addicts. Happiness doesn't fucking exist.
how it is presented in this "movie"
>oppressive technological dystopia but who cares, we live in a beautiful vibrant multicultural favela where everyone mostly gets along and lives fine. multikulti south-american shithole with fancy metal arms which are seen as completely normal and not generally as a loss on humanity, woo-hoo.
I have such a limited social circle I've only gotten 2 people to see it.
my balls
Jim is a known Yea Forums lurker.
I don't see eye to eye with him on his politics, but James Cameron makes some damn good movies.
Do you think the sequel will explore Ido's serial killing?
Jimbo has to be stopped
You walked into the wrong room there Mickey.
Cameron is apolitical except when it comes to the enviornment
Uh, the movie constantly references the fact Iron City is a shit hell hole and it corrupts good people. Don't know where you got that second part.
Ok, you've gotten the hype in these threads, but I wanna also give you a realistic appraisal of the film before you go.
You have to expect breakneck pacing - on first viewing the film will barely give you time to "breath" and consider each plot point and character building moment before moving on. Interspersed with that are the gorgeous visuals and great action scenes that can overwhelm you. So you might feel lost, but do trust that everything is coherent and structured as it should be, with callbacks and hints and details sprinkled throughout.
On top of that, the dialogue is very earnest and honestly delivered, there is no self-aware ironic marvel quips in this. So if you think that's cheesy, then get ready to embrace the cheese. But its good regardless and again ties into the coherent story.
Finally you have to think of this movie a character building arc for Alita and almost a prologue. That said, it should leave you super hyped by the end.
Oranges
Sneed
Looks like I'm in the right room
Burritos
What makes Alita better then any MCU action girl? Like, she's never annoying for a manhater
this. a true testament to alitas beauty.
None of those films are bad, but I wouldn't consider them my favorites outside Alita. Infinity War just okay because Thanos was slightly interesting.
>likes a movie
>wants to stop the director
I don't get it.
I cannot do it, bros. I leave Yea Forums for a week, and when I return, hopefully, the movie will gross enough to get a sequel. I will be heartbroken if it doesn't and I don't have a nerve to follow the news updates daily.
Alita loves boys.
I could watch this forever.
>None of those films are bad
Imagine having such horrendous taste
This. Alita doesn't hate you, she loves you and wants to fight for you.
it says one thing the shows another.
Yeah, what the fuck is up with that, Jim?
Is Siri programmed to work with the code word Alita yet?
>Somebody who likes Alita has actual shit taste that means everyone who likes Alita has shit taste
Ido's jizz
You know I should make spaghetti and meatballs one of these days. I don't even remember what that stuff tastes like anymore.
It hurts so much, I want a cute cyborg gf who would give me her heart so bad...
Favorite Films should be:
>Blade Runner
>Blade Runner 2049
>Cherry 2000
>Ghost in the Shell (1995)
>her sultry older yet still innocent sounding voice
Anyone else really enamored by Alita's voice? It just sounds so good.
Liking this movie is a sign of shit taste. As the movie is an incompetent mess.
Fucking Jimbo made his waifu as real as he can with all of resources available under his belt.
Is it inappropriate to call Alita a Battle Babe? What about a Combat Baby?
whats good taste then shithead
>Somebody
The vast majority who like it have shit taste and not in the meme way
just straight bad taste in film
No need to be upset, my friend. You have bad taste and like the movie for reasons unrelated to it's quality.
It really isn't. You're just saying that because you couldn't keep up with the admittedly fast pacing. But all the key elements necessary are there and in good order.
Alita is a strong female protag in a complex setting with realistic emotions. She is flawed and emotes with other flawed characters. She relies on them, and they rely on her. She encounters joy and tragedy. The respect she develops is earned. It's so much better than capeshit.
>incompetent mess
Name a flaw.
Her smile really is too cute.
>As
You need to go back to plebbit. Captain MCU needs you!
>hey paralyzed daughter, we're going to the most dangerous place possible filled with crazy cyborgs. Be sure if you hear the lab getting ransacked you should roll your useless out and see whats happening.
>being this pretentious
>doesn't even have any good movies like Police Academy or Revenge of the Sith
You fucking autists just can't calm down. It's doing extraordinarily well overseas. However, this upcoming weekend is the real last huge push for every country. We will make it!
Thinking of going tomorrow of what might be the last chance to see it imax. 3D is the only way I've seen it and I feel like it's the only way desu.
Why do you waste your time on Yea Forums my friend? If this is legitimately your taste (which it definitely isn't), you must find this entire board constantly insufferable.
>Ask user to pick blockbuster movies that show his taste
>user posts books instead
What did he mean by this?
Same. I was more worry about her eyes but in didn't looks weird in the movie considering how fucked up most other cyborgs were.
Though I only realised the reason on why her eyes were like that during her third flashback with that female martian officer. Yea I'm kinda slow...
literally noone cares about your opinion or why you think your 'taste' is any better than anyone elses
It's all or nothing with me user
this is who I am.
Could you try that again but this time with more human-to-human communication and less NPC data transfers? Thanks.
There's always the hope people like you will fuck off.
You cant say you love your waifu if you haven't done something as big as this
It's like Scarlett Johansson's voice, but better
But user, this is our board, not yours.
If you don't care, why do you always reply
DO IT
I'm taking my dad along for the last IMAX screening in the city
that clip is C U T E
Millennium Mambo is the worst HHH what are yo doing
Everyone laugh at the art house fag.
Actually if you had watched any of them you'd know Closely Watched Trains was one of the influences for the Police Academy series
>There's always the hope
He lives in his lab user. Is that really your criticism? Holy shit.
More than that, no one in the entire world, save for perhaps Kishiro himself, can truly claim Alita as his waifu other than Jimbo here. We may all be in love here, but he's cemented it fully and forever with this.
I joined Yea Forums before bane cancer made it pleb friendly. My taste in film which has is probably the highest level of cinephile left on this board was developed because of the old posters giving recs
its bad, but at least it flopped.
He is not wrong. Trump is the absolute madman.
THIS. This is why it doesnt matter if she is female or male. Damn Cameron is a fucking genius.
Your taste can be obtained from a generic top 100 list in letterboxd or rym who are you kidding
...
Last time I was this obsessed with a movie it was bladerunner. Saw it four or five times. Where can I get an alita poster?
The movie was made for imax viewing, it took advantage of everything imax had to offer. It's a James Cameron thing.
this is how I know it's shit if this retard likes it then it's 100% garbage
Witchhammer sounds kino, how is it?
Literally who?
>letterboxd
A site which the old posters here made big
>rym
A site full of Yea Forums posters that use to cross post here before Yea Forums took over
All before bane too
ebay
I bet you snap your fingers instead of clapping, faggot
based 2d waifu lovers
Every thread huh? It's literally just one guy mad at the movie for no reason and literally cannot give any real criticism.
The movie got little official merchandises so be prepare to pay big bucks on the posters at ebay
>My personal grudge against a trip fag is somehow relevant to the quality of the movie
BR2049 posters initially were going for like $50 but now that time has passed, you can easily get them for like $20. Patience is key
Does anyone have the orange, chocolate, orange chocolate meme?
I need it for a presentation real quick
and again I say
Some motherfuckers are always trying to ice skate uphill.
Just watched it and am now posting
WHY IS THERE NO FUCKING ENDING?
WHY?
Look through the archived generals, newfag
Probably the best example of inquisition you'll see. also the best czech film
bruh it's ITT
Why would it end?
TY
More alita memees!
Use this one instead now that's been confirmed that alita drones are plens
Gonna see IMAX on Wednesday.
We still miss you, come back with another R-rated movie.
Sequel$. But I do agree it was a bit abrupt.
Even I don't get this, and the audience is kinda normie
he's probably from Yea Forums or /vg/ like most of the mongrels praising it
Why do you want it to end. We getting 2 sequels.
because fucking movies have a start and an end.
If they wanted a sequel they should have fucking made an ending
so next movie im supposed to love that not having an ending either?
I think that was the best way to end it with a high note. There were so much catastrophic shit and death happening during that 3 month time gap before the end scene
I too was sad about the ending at first, but then it just made me like the film even more. Hopefully we get our trilogy.
>WTF WHY DIDN'T FRODO DESTROY THE RING AM I SUPPOSED TO LOVE THE TWO TOWERS WHEN HE DOESN'T DESTROY THE RING THIS IS NOT AN ENDING REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Okay user, okay. It's a bad movie, what can I say? Better get ready for Captain Marvel to blow your socks off though!
I fucking hate LOTR but even I know this isnt anything close to that
Vector has an end. Hugo has an end. Charin has an end. Grewishka has an end. She beat this movies villain. What do you want?
>yfw edward norton as nova
Is this just capeshit for people who think they're above capeshit? Looks it
who was the villian if not the masive faggot in the floating city?
She fucked on everyone easily, there was no "bad guy"
the mother was supposed to be the villian but even that whore said fuck an ending
>every action CGI movie is capeshit!
B&R
Fun fact : Alita never ate oranges or chocolate even before that. She only ate tasteless byproduct rations ever since she was a child
It’s what capeshit should aspire to be, a sincere and fun movie with a likable protagonist and great visuals.
reminder
>that look
at least they have the balls to let thanos snap
this shit didnt even attempt an ending
Yes, user, all action movies are indeed capeshit.
Go look at user reviews. It's a movie for capeshitters
Kind of like everything after Tokyo Drift
It's moe, not capeshit.
Gotta set up that multi film franchise which means cant ever have closure or a satisfying ending
Might be the last one until the blu ray drops.
Ah yes, the magical 59%
This movie is probably going to give me a hand fetish now.
So is Alita in her motorball body by the end, or her berserker body modded out? I’m not sure if she ran away from ido and home in the movie, since manga Ido disapproves of her joining motorball at all but movie Ido is fine with it.
Interesting, I’ll check it out.
>spoiler
Does it even have any competition? I was going to say On the silver globe before I remembered that was polish. Seems all that’s filmed in the Czech Republic is exhibitionist porn.
>who was the villian if not the masive faggot in the floating city?
Nova is no doubt evil as fuck but he will be Alita greatest ally on taking down the floating city
>So is Alita in her motorball body by the end, or her berserker body modded out?
I am wondering the same thing
Is it possible that we could be looking at the first of a kind? The very first successful cyberpunk movie?
Alita had the balls to dismember its protagonist and let her drop an f bomb while sticking her remaining limb into someone’s eye. It had the balls to kill off a puppy and have the protagonist smear its blood on her face as warpaint. It had the balls to be sincere about its dialogue and characters rather than being filled with quips and jokey “ain’t this silly” moments. It wrapped up all the plot threads that needed wrapping up while building momentum for the overarching conflict.
I don’t see what’s so ballsy about “killing off” some protagonists when everyone knows they’ll be brought back unharmed in the next film, especially since some of them literally already have sequel films planned. It’s the opposite of ballsy.
It's not successful so no.
STOP CRITICIZING DISNEY YOU FUCKING COMMIE RUSSIAN BOT
It has the balls to have its protagonist not lob some bullshit platitude of "KILLING HIM WILL MAKE YOU JUST AS EVIL" or "SAVING THE ONES YOU LOVE" because that's how the world has ever worked, and will never work. The protagonist straight up murders people who deserve it.
It would be nice, but we aren't even close enough to hit that high mark yet.
Alitapilled
>So is Alita in her motorball body by the end, or her berserker body modded out?
It's a tricked out motorball body. The berserker body was destroyed between the 3 months time gap
THIS
Dude the Matrix trilogy is already a thing and done by the courageous & beautiful Wachkowskiwiecz sisters too.
Great meme update thanks
Can you all fuck off, this thread reads like a 5 hired retards spamming replies marketing this bullshit to the retards on Yea Forums who love anime.
These "generals" are just a marketing scheme. And any dumb cunts you manage to suck into this vortex of shit are too naive to tell otherwise.
Fuck these threads, fuck all of you. Alita sucks dick, Ill never see this film because of your gay as fuck shilling.
>balls to let Thanos snap
Honest question, what did you think he was going to do with the gauntlet exactly?
That snap is iconic as the character itself.
What they didn't have the balls to do is to put Death herself seducing a young Thanos to murder shit.
Buy tickets to Alita user, join in on the fun instead of excluding yourself
WAAAAA
WAAAAAAA
WHY ARE NON DISNEY MOVIES BEING TALKED ABOUT
WAAAAAAA
I’m convinced he’s the one who posted the main plot points each of the two sequels will cover
Movies are missing this type of stuff in this day and age.
Relax mickey i'll go watch toy story 4 if this will comfort you
Look at those gentle eyes.
How the fuck did Death Wish go from absolute kino to absolute garbage in the sequels?
As stated with others, my immediate problem with the snap is "This is a comic book movie and in comics they always find a way to reverse hopeless situations." So it's just, how does Captain Rottentoes get her hands on the Infinity Stones and reverse everything?
She's a Disney princess that will rip your face off... well at least thats how i describe her.
Even as I kid I despised the whole "if you kill him he'll win" thing. No, you kill him and his threat no longer plagues existence. Batman is wrong. Superman gets a pass because he's basically just Jesus.
this is a good point
Cannon got the rights to Death Wish and churned out sequels with the quality of the rest of their films they put out in the '80s.
>"Fuck your mercy !!"
Best line delivery in some time
This is why I love the Punisher.
I don't know, I haven't read Captain Marvel at all but in Civil War 2 and in that she's even more wrong than fucking Tony.
I mean that kind of "plot twist" is like revealing that when Orion finally fulfills his prophecy of killing Darkseid by literally ripping his heart out, he fucked the multiverse.
Japan is very good at this type of character.
Saw it in IMAX 3D with Laser at Citywalk last week. Great experience. Honestly afraid I can’t enjoy it in 2D after being spoiled with that.
Based Frankfag.
This
I can't do it bros
I can't get over her FUCKING EYES
I liked everything else about the movie but jeepers creepers those peepers
She has permanent puppy dog eyes.
Her eyes are big, innocent and expressive. You will love her if you give her the chance.
Anime has had actual strong female characters since the 70s. And in the 80s and 90s, you got hundreds of protagonists who were great, probably because the mangaka wanted to draw women over dudes and tailored their works for that, like all of Kenichi Sonoda's stuff. Dirty Pair, Gunbuster, Bubblegum Crisis, Dominion Tank Police, Patlabor, Project A-ko, and countless more, all before Brie Larson was born.
Zack Snyder himself took inspiration from Birdy the Mighty for his take on the Man of Steel.
Don't be this retarded please , just give it a try and you'll regret you didn't see her earlier
>since the 70s
Try the 1950s when Osamu Tezuka wrote Princess Knight.
Based '80s fan!
Ufufufu is all I can say.
God. Can you imagine how cool a modern Dirty Pair movie could be, if it had the taste and reserve to not degrade into Charlie's Angels? I know I'm asking the impossbile, but there was that fine line.
I've seen the movie
The eyes doesn't take me out of the movie but I was fixated on them in a bad way in every scene they were in
It's not Charlie's Angels because they're also kind of horrible people despite attempting to do their jobs. But that's what makes them great, as they destroy everything.
These chicks are the reason I checked out and got into the original Star Trek series.
80s produced the aesthetic I enjoy the most in anime. It has the floofy style, the big eyes, the angular 80s look, and lots of bright blinking details.
This guy speaks the truth.
Reminder that Alita is just another run of the mill misogynist "born sexy yesterday" character in another uninspired cyberpunk world without any of your favorite Disney stars in it.
It's literally 5th Element -tier problematic.
To be fair, in the 70s, anime in Japan underwent an experimental phase which would stretch out all the way to the late 80s.
Companies gone and went as people were trying to outspend and outclass each other.
That's sad , I've rarely seen any anime or things like that and this one didn't bother me at all just made her look cuter .
bad bait come up with something worth getting angry about
Alita is his waifu so it was appropriate to be released on Valentine's day
Jim is a man of culture
but fifth element is amazing
youtube.com
Plus it can always be remastered to 4K if need be. 1080p film anime makes a fucking ridiculous difference compared to how everyone watched stuff back in the day.
I felt like it subverted that trope rather adroitly, both the film and surely the source material.
Indeed. Hopefully both movies shall be remembered with equal fondness.
Here, enjoy an 80's idol song from a mech anime.
youtube.com
This. Also, the Japanese take on the strong female character is much more balanced than the Western one. All these characters, from Alita to Rally, are strong and brave, but still have a feminine side. Their strength of character is built on facing hardships, not on antagonizing and belittling men. They're not footsoldiers in a gender war. They're not proxies for fanatics of any political ideology. They're not at war with the reader or the viewer. Instead, they're characters both men and women can like. Alita is inspiring as a warrior, and she's also a top tier waifu. These characters feel more real than anything made by feminists, who approach the "strong female character" from an artificial, ideological point of view.
>implying I haven't watched DYRL several times
Angel Cop forever!
kek this is actually true
alitathreads are the comfiest
I just posted it in general man.
I've noticed that almost ALL the negative responses to this movie on Yea Forums are copy pasted comments from other threads.
>This also coincides with the rise in devil's advocate type posts for the Captain Mouse movie
I'm not a conspiracy theorist by any stretch but this is really suspicious to me.
Did they really remaster Angel Cop? I've been a little out of the loop, but there's like 200 old analog anime I need to see remasters for.
no alita is not for sex
alita is pure
I watched it 3 times already
he's right thou, but please go back to /pol/ and rage over there instead
Not really, they sourced it from the best quality video tape they could obtain. I'm guessing the film masters are probably lost or something.
youtube.com
Iria is Next! Probably the closest to Battle Angel in general look.
German science is SEKAI ICHI
there's no doubt in my mind that Jim is the >$700 mil frogposter
If you are a karateka fisherman, she is very much for sex.
Remember that in Last Order, (brainchip)Alita had a flesh and blood body made specifically to store her original organic brain, so that this Alita could be Figure's waifu and have tons of kids with him.
But what are the criticism?
>eyes are weird
>movie ends
Anything else?
just saw this movie tonight. No forced diversity or any SJW bullshit. I can't believe how refreshing that was, just a fucking movie. Great way to show that you can have a female protagonist and not push political views every couple of minutes
450 MILLION

And then Armitage III for cyberpunk goodness.
>Though I only realised the reason on why her eyes were like that during her third flashback with that female martian officer
What reason?
As if!
Shirow turns out didn't do it for female protagonists or equality, he just liked drawing titties.
(you are not figure)
>this upcoming weekend is the real last huge push for every country
I hope you are right
I want Alita to stay one more week in the cinema
We'll never get a decent Gunsmith Cats movie, though. It's really something Hollywood could technically do, but Minnie May as a character would make America's collective head explode.
Is that any less valid though? Anna & Uni singing to distract cops was kino nonetheless.
I know.
That's what nearly every young newcomer had for motivation in the industry.
So is there serious hope for more actually good anime adaptations or is this just a fluke because it happened to have Jim Cameron attached to it?
It could happen. The identity politics feedback loop is about to collapse in hollywood.
really depends on the source material
Doug Liman had mostly made mediocre stuff up till he made Edge of Tomorrow
I would say no hope, this was Jim's dream project of 20 years. No one else can devote that kind of time or effort.
kishiro seemed to like the tech porn more than the actual porn though.
a noble cause
The thing is B films kinda already do the kind of shit anime does.
You're an idiot. This isn't boyhood. He cranked out his treatment in an obsessive frenzy and shelved it until the movie entered production.
Whatever gets you to meet your deadlines, man.
but poorly.
Different craft, same cheese/shlock.
kishiro is a pedo
Might be something like this. Avoiding the big titles like AKIRA or Cowboy Bebop, it might work in everyone's favor to do a lesser anime you're passionate about.
The reason anime is popular is because whatever it does, it'll do well. Even if all it wants to do is pander.
This is why anime adaptations always fail.
Well Japan...
The high price of Hollywood put those kinds of films out of business.
definitely
Goddammit this was one of a kind.
>there can be only one
And there was.
The Climber, but the twist is that the guy from Free Solo actually does all the climbing for real.
We will continue to #100 just to see you eating the DVDs as promised. Don't chicken out now.
He said bluray
Also adapt titles that can't be accused of white washing. AKIRA is fucking impossible in this regard, it's directly tied to the idea of nuclear weapons fear in Japan and everyone is a black-haired Japanese. Adapting that is butchering it.
Maybe something like Birdy the Mighty.
They're shills alright, but they do it for free
I've always lent it to their histories, Japan has had a more experimental animation era which really attracted aspiring artists to try to make their mark, while in America the attraction was more of the live-action actors competing and making it big in their respective films.
Better plan: ignore twitter. GitS didn't fail because twitter lost shit, it failed because it was garbage.
The movie implied that martian females genetically got kawaii uguu eyes.
I read somewhere that scientist theorise that the 1/3 gravity of Mars will surely fucked something in humankind genetics.
Back to
What I got from the film is that Martians have a technocracy to which they have brains but are outfitted into robotic chassis hence why Alita has an "organic brain" but nothing else.
Why they are designed like dolls I do not know.
At least she doesn't have that octopus lips.
All the Martians are the same beserker model, though. Their eyes are electronic.
>Octopus lips
Wtf that's the best part
>At least she doesn't have that octopus lips.
I seriously doubt that would be the right call to adapt in CGI given that her large thick lips actually get called out on by people.
Instead, you get the big eyes!
o3o
Alita!
I know and it's a fair trade off to be sure but I just found your comment strange.
Where is the new thread? This one is almost dead.
this
There's a new one but it's not a general in the title, the OP fucked it up.
