Copying my post from last thread here for more discussion:

(You)
Speaking of streaming services and the home release, I wanted to add that I cannot wait for it to drop finally on Netflix/Prime/Hulu/whatever. Not because I wanna see it again (I'm getting the BD of course), but because I feel this movie will be vindicated then. Your average viewer will likely check it out at some point, in the comfort of their own home at their own pace and realize how good this movie actually was.

I'm hoping that will generate legitimate hype for the sequel. And at that point, it falls squarely on Cameron and his team to not fuck up and go above and beyond this movie. Should he do that, this series place will be cemented for sure.

As you said its pretty common. I guarantee some bored user from the UK just took the initial dive, saw it, and then started heartfully shilling it so we may all have our eyes opened and be healed by Alita.

Reminder these Alita plebs have constantly proven over and over that the cycle is true and that they're not from here

I just went randomly with family with low expectations of an anime adaption. It seems like low expectations played a part for many viewers.

Zapan scenes were good

worked for me

It definitely helps with first viewing, considering the fast pace. But once you know what you're getting into and you like it, subsequent viewings generally only improve the movie somehow.

That's a sizable slab of chocolate. kinda makes you wonder if she was constipated after

Saw it the second time (out of four) with my mother, she enjoyed it. She also liked the live action Ghost in the Shell movie. Wish I could have taken my father, but he's a wetback with a "relaxed" brain and wouldn't have understood the plot/story or enjoyed it.

Last time I saw such a long running general on Yea Forums was BR2049, is this comparably good?

this and her crazy-face expression after fighting off Grewishka are my favorites. Still waiting on hq webms of her angrily panting after fighting him off.

I just had to rewatch BR tonight. More aesthetic, but not as genuine.

Don't be too surprised. Tonde Saitama aside (whatever the fuck that movie is), its amazing that Alita even got the number 2 spot. It's based on a niche manga in Japan that's been mostly forgotten there since the 90s, and its another Hollywood live action adaptation. It's also battling other movies like Into the Spiderverse, Aquaman, Mary Poppins, and other Japanese movies.

Why are they fetish shaming? I thought these people were all about tolerance and embracing sexuality? Talk about bigots. I will masturbate to anime as I please.

Male Gaze

I'm just (austistically) trying to prove the obvious point that people from all tastes and walks of life can and do love Alita.

there's probably hundreds of twitter essays on how the movie is 'bad'. Who cares.
and I say that as a lefty. I didn't see Alita as some pro-anything vehicle.

I said this in another thread, but both times I've seen Alita, I just feel better about myself. It's like, I'm a huge loser and the world sucks, but maybe I can be better and maybe the world can be better too.

Any that actually fit the narrative?

It's probably better they didn't cover it.

It's a "powerful female written by a male" and "we need to come together as a nation to stop James Cameron from writing female characters".

I browse buyfag thread so I'm familiar with that

>tfw you'll never get your skull caved in by Alita's megaton steel ass.

"No!"
If there's one thing Alita lacks it's exposure. People just don't even know it exists. User rating on RT is evidence as much. Most people who actually show up like it.

James Cameron would be proud of you. If only he saw all these threads.

I know dude, fucking hypocrites. So much for their acceptance movement.

I'm honestly surpised, it seems like just the movie they would review - an SF blockbuster helmed by James Cameron (and Robert Rodriguez). Hell they even did Plinkett reviews on the Titanic and Avatar.

Honestly though, I'm assuming they are saving their next Half in the Bag episode for Captain Marvel

Your narrative? You can keep posting it, you clearly will ignore everything I have posted and could post to the contrary.

It's be funny if they brought up Alita in the video as an example of doing the female hero right.

I want a 1:1 realdoll. I'd pay $8000.00 USD for it.

The movie is extremely popular with leftoid gays and super freaks(trannies). The shills were originally saying they hate it yet over and over it's been proven that they're the biggest fans of it. So it's not really a surprise when you see something like that
That it's a film for conservatives with actual taste in cinema. Otherwise you're just shilling your own article for your dying site

Holy shit, what a tool.

Considering making and marketing Alita cost $700 mil and Fox will only take in around $280 mil estimated at the box office it can be safely said Alita is a flop.

it's doing "ok".

I wish they made a video on it, everytime I'm interested in what they think of a new movie they never make a video on the movie

Actually it cost them $1 billion. Only by taking in $2 billion can it be considered even. Not even $5 billion is enough for a sequel. If it's not making half of US GDP it's a flop, basically.

He makes a good point
All three are terrible flicks loved by retards. Take the old trip deschi for example, if he was here these threads could have some merit to them because even though he had terrible taste he knew things about cinema.

>700
You forgot the costs of developing the bionic prosthetic hands they gave to that girl, that's another 130 million at least right there.

Absolutely wrong - he doesn't know because he hasn't even seen Alita. The Wachowskis haven't made any good film since the Matrix, which they obviously dickride. Comparing their schlock to this movie is disingenuous.

Yeah, I was wondering if it was just mine. I did get the boxset. Several pages are repeated with others mixed in out of order, and that includes two sides of the same page being mismatched numerically, so it's not just like they were bound in wrong.

Listen retard, normalfags are the majority of movie goers. They are the ones that made capeshits movies, which you are shilling for, successful. The very fact that normalfags like Alita means it has popular appeal, the very thing you have been trying to prove against.

>inb4: I hate capeshit too
I don't see you running around 10 CM threads fronting your bs about "CM's fan bad." You only attack Alita because you know people here won't put a hammer on you. MCUfags will not be tolerant for this kind of trolling behavior.

I checked some video reviews and didn't see this problem but I'm still way too scared to actually buy it.

Any other issues with that boxset? Is it just the first volume or do the printing errors run throughout all of them? I was thinking about getting the box for a gift, but didn't have any issues with reading through the volumes I had when I got them before there was a boxset collection.

I think pic related is the best reaction face from the entire three manga series.

Bleak reminder that even if there is justification for a sequel, the Fox+Disney merger will be complete within a few months from now.

Sequel could end up getting Disneyfied, or canned because Disney(&Fox) doesn't consider the franchise sterile enough to represent the company.

Boatman owns complete rights to Alita. He can have a sequel made if he wanted to. Neither disney nor fox have any say in that.

Can't happen, as Cameron owns all the rights to any sort of adaptation of Alita. He just uses Fox as the distribution company. Now should Cameron die... then all bets are off.

Reminder that Fox does not own the rights :^)

James Cameron owns the rights to Alita himself. He can pick it up and go to any studio.

I've only noticed it in volume 1 so far. Based on the other comments, I'm starting to think it's just mine. The only other issue I have is that the box got scratched up during shipping, since it's a heavy item and even avoiding Amazon didn't help me out there.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Today my other house mate asked me if I wanted to see Alita with him, even though I had already seen it. Of course, I said hell yes.

We saw it in a large format screen with an ass-shaking sound system. It was amazing.

Yes. I've only seen Alita six times and I saw BR2049 14 times in theaters. Alita edges it out being a bit better so far, IMO.
BR2049 is not as explicit. BR2049 relies more on its aesthetics and pace to give the viewer opportunities to think through the questions it raises. Alita is spared from being told that she was created to be subordinate so she has a very different internal journey from K. Her journey is slightly more oriented externally.
This. I'm pleasantly surprised because it wasn't apparent to me how many fans of BR2049 were drawn in by the conflict of maintaining personal integrity while exploring the truth of one's nature in a dystopian world that is actively trying to corrupt individuals with tempting lies, willing amnesia, and despair.

I don't really understand this line of criticism because it has an obvious downtrodden workers vs. exploitative capitalists hoarding wealth narrative. If anything, it's probably much more leftist than Captain Neoliberal.

Question: why didnt disney just go with the flow letting Alita help promote captain marvel side by side? There different films.

Year of the wahmans or something. They could easily rig the scores for that.

Because the deal isn't closed yet.

pull tabs underwear is my new fetish now

If I ate that much chocolate I wouldn't get constipated, I'd get the runs. Same thing happens if I drink coffee after like a month of not having any.

They don't want other films to affect their magus opus. Alita presents a different kind of woman heroine that Disney wants nothing to do with. They are neo-feminists now.

This is genuinely a cute pic

>cyborg
>needs to shit

Even if Alita had that turbo thing installed its nothing blowtorch can't fix.

>cherrypicking
>average

>women are inherently superior to

(1) The two characters that push the plot of Alita are Alita herself and Chiren (Hugo's ex-wife)
(2) Alita is pretty much the most powerful person in the plot and BTFOs everyone
(3) The main villain is a White MALE living in a sky city
(4) Even when she is "defeated" by Grewishka she was still able to pluck out his eye in defiance

>and victims of men
Lessee:
(a) first body destroyed by Grewishka
(b) Chiren is seduced (and BLACKED) by Vector aka literal exploitation
(c) Vector has Chiren killed so that he can send her parts to Zalem.

tl;dr you're full of bullshit. I agree that Alita is superior to Captain Marvel in every way (which is why I saw Alita thrice), but Alita is a feminist vehicle, or at least has feminist tones in line with what you are saying. The only it doesn't have is a feminist Mary Sue, which is what Captain Toefungus is - at least Alita is a flawed individual, despite her upgrades. The same applies to Chiren.

sneed

That's a lot of mansplaining and I won't hear a word of it.

I love Mars Chronicles so far, but I'm not a big fan of all the kids dying and Yoko and Erica going through tough times
Makes me crie

She's in Maze Runner 2, she was very good in it. Maze 1 is kinda boring, I suggest you watch 2 directly. She's in Maze 3 too but she looked dizzy in the film, it was weird

I'm about to start Last Order. From what I've heard, I hope the 100 chapter fighting tournament doesn't kill my interest.

How can people complain about that? The 20 volume tournament in Baki was fun.

This is such bullshit. I have never read the Alita comics or seen the OVA. I went in with a completely fresh mind and set of eyes, and I loved the movie and had no trouble understanding it. Rotten Tomatoes is full of retards who probably think The Last Jedi is not a flaming pile of dog shit.

For a cyberpunk film I was disappointed at the lack of anyone smoking cigarettes. Even the manga had that.

I really like them but it's nostalgic for me becuase I had them a lot as a kid. Give it a shot because they're segmented so if you don't like it you can wrap the other segments and give them to a friend or Alita

>(1) The two characters that push the plot of Alita are Alita herself and Chiren (Hugo's ex-wife)
Only Alita pushes the plot. Chiren has the same role as other supporting character. I would say Nova pushed the plot as antagonist since he keeps throwing obstacles against Alita through his proxy.
>(2) Alita is pretty much the most powerful person in the plot and BTFOs everyone
With her body, which she must need Ido to install for her.
>(3) The main villain is a White MALE living in a sky city
There are other villains too. And the final boss was a black Hindu living in an even higher place.
>(4) Even when she is "defeated" by Grewishka she was still able to pluck out his eye in defiance
Without others' help, she would have been stomped by the guy.

>(a) first body destroyed by Grewishka
It's a fight
>(b) Chiren is seduced (and BLACKED) by Vector aka literal exploitation
Chiren used Vector to get to Zelem. Both of them are using each other while being control by Nova.
>(c) Vector has Chiren killed so that he can send her parts to Zalem.
That's Nova's orders. If you notice, he was hesitant and worried when Chiren worked out that door. He did not show malice at all.

This movie proved to me that Evangelion Live Action doesn't have to be shit. It will still probably never get made though, and there's about a 50/50 chance that it would be low-budget Netflix trash.

These are Disney shills. Have you ever heard them complaining about not knowing the comics before watching capeshit? The film is practically just like the animated, except it has more stuff and therefore more easy to understand. i never read the manga either. This kind of opinion are 100% dishonest or she really mentally slow

you'd like to think so but no

Worst part is that he's considered a 'top critic', what a joke

I just realized something.

How come Chiren has a brain, and not a chip in the movie?

Maybe it's not Chiren

Didn't it play out that way in the OVA too?

It seems like a weird thing to lie about.

I don't know, I didn't see the OVA. but the wiki says Chiren has a chip.

Alita isn't really a woman. She's a 300 years old robot designed for warfare. You might ask why did they design these robots as cute teenage girls.

you'd like to think so but yes

We can do this all day, boy.

The rumor's a tumor. The answer is cancer.

>fucking how?
I'll try to present some arguments they will use
>she's not fat
>she's pretty
>she smiles
>she asks for help
>if it wasn't for a white male (ido) she would be dead by now
>she loves a young white male (yugo)
>she would do anything for him, she literally gives him her heart
>she calls ido her father
>she smiles and thanks yugo
>she doesn't hate her father and boyfriend
>she's not lesbian or gender fluid
>she smiles (because strong women should never smile)
>she giggles
>she tries to look pretty for her boyfriend
>she has a boyfriend
>she loves him
>she begs yugo to stay with her
>she smiles
I'm sure there are some I forget
I don't agree with any of those but you may see some of those "arguments" used by those who call alita problematic and misogynismic
Don't pay attention to the crazies and watch Alita again because she heals and it's all or nothing with her

>Alita isn't really a woman.
Her brain is human. She has human genetic information at least in some biological parts remaining of her. Do you even cyberpunk bro

The entire Brain/Chip plot is probably not even in the movies.
Unless Victor was just showing Alita a random set of organs that were getting ready to be shipped, and Chiren is actually still alive.

This
Fuck the hack fraud shills of rlm

This is why I am quite concerned for the sequel. Gunnm gets pretty fucked up, and I can't really see how they can do it while staying PG13

>Evangelion Live Action
Is going to be trash
Evangelion works only because there is the series before it
You can't rush it
Evangelion doesn't have filler
At first viewing you think that some episodes are filler but they are not
They are essential
The complexity and how all of evangelion fits together is something astonishing
Anno is (was at least) a genius
I hope they leave evangelion alone, it's perfect as it is

I believe they will deviate more in the sequels

Evangelion could use hell of a ton of editing, especially in the second half. It's muddled by its production, don't even front.

This
Also if she thinks of having a pussyhole the beserker body will create one. And of course all these oranges and chocolate have to come out from somewhere

>And of course all these oranges and chocolate have to come out from somewhere

The white guy in Zalem looks strangely like James Cameron himself, was it him? I was also suprised to see Jay Courtnay do a 3 seconds cameo. And Gurishika looks like Sam Worthington. That was weird.

Edward Norton, not Cameron.

All white people look the same to me. I thought when Nova took off his glasses that it was supposed to be Dr. Ido double but it turns out it was Edward Norton

Just came back from it. First half was pretty slow and a little corny, but it picked up a lot by the second half. I was kinda surprised when it ended on a cliffhanger though, for some reason I thought it was going to be a stand-alone film.

Anyway, even though I enjoyed it, I can see why it flopped. I was able to keep up with the story, but that's because I'm not a retard and I'm aware of the level of backstory detail manga usually goes into, which is something your average normie isn't, and so I can see why your average 44 year old soccer mom and her three shit-f0r-brains kids didn't understand what was going on.

I think if it had been marketed a bit differently, perhaps emphasising more the story aspects and less the pure action aspects so that it seemed like more than just "Dumb Sci-Fi Flick #283", then it may have been able to draw bigger crowds. Also the PG-13 rating left it in an odd spot, it felt like it would've been better either going for a regular PG rating or a straight-up R.

Anyway, these are just my two scents. I hope the sequel gets made, even if just to see what villain Ed Norton is doing up on that fuckhueg floating city. Maybe market it to the Chinks, who knows.

The first time they show him in a flashback as a hologram I thought it was Paul Dano, I thought that would be ridiculous if that was him.

Shymalan mega twist

I hope they won't ruin him.

>I was kinda surprised when it ended on a cliffhanger though, for some reason I thought it was going to be a stand-alone film.
Why is everyone saying it ends on a cliffhanger? Did everyone become stupid. The Force awakens ends on a cliffhanger and it's fucking unacceptable for movies of this caliber. Alita is a complete movie that closes up a chaper. At the end you get a little tease that the story could continue but it's not a fucking cliffhanger.

There's no guarantee there will be a sequel.

People feel it's a cliffhanger because the climax is very muted and because of how they've set up Nova. In reality it's no different from the first Matrix (which ends similarly, but because it has a proper showdown and no real setup of further conflicts yet it works better).

Get your head out of your anus. Evangelion is a good show but it has a ton of problems and mistakes that came from budget cuts and the creator having a meltdown. The fans ruined it by telling themselves that every little thing in the show is dripping with meaning and subtext as if a cartoon can hold the secrets to understanding life and the universe.

Evangelion is much more enjoyable when you take a step back and just accept it for what it is-- an interesting and entertaining show that gets kind of shitty in the last few episodes.

I can guarantee you there won't be, the numbers are looking worse than they expected and it won't even break even at this point, it needs around 700 million to break even and it only has a week left before the most important movie of the decade comes out.

I hope it makes more. People were saying Pacific Rim was going to flop but then it managed to get a sequel. Too bad the sequel was trash.

You know what I meant, you fucking nerd

This user gets it, there is no cliffhanger
It's just that the public has been conditioned by Marvel trash to lack critical thinking
Alita is a complete story with closure (like the original star wars) but the story can and will continue
This is not a cliffhanger

>a week left before the most important movie of the decade comes out
Ya blew it
It was a good bait up to this point

THIS MOVIE SUCKS

ur asshole sucks loll

The numbers go like this:
170
x2 for marketing
350/2 because studio only gets half the ticket sale money
That's without taking into account taxes though so it's really closer to 800 million, and I heard the actual budget was 200 million, so x2 for marketing we get 400 million x2 + taxes and it gets up to a whopping 900 mil range.
YIKES

I watched the movie in 4DX, AMA

Some user made a comment in a previous thread about how Nova looked kinda like Cameron and it made me laugh so I made this

Attached: cameron nova.jpg (800x600, 78K)

It's 15E because it was 4DX + 3D. I don't like 3D but I had not choice, these bastards don't offer 4DX alone

You have no idea how these things go, do you?
200 million budget x2 for marketing, that's 400 million
Domestic box office is 61 million. Studio gets half of that so 30.5 million - tax so let's say 23 million.
International is 203 million. Studios only get 30% of overseas BO so that's just 61 million, minus taxes that's 46 million.
46 + 23 = 69 million. So currently Alita has made negative 331 million dollars.
NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL A STICKY SITUATION!
YIKES-A-DOODLE-DOO!

>What is it like to hold the hand of one you love? Cells
There's nothing for the cuddling moments. But when Gurushika strikes, the chair hits you in the back

I made the comment. Anyone else thought it was him?

>4DX
>4DX allows a motion picture presentation to be augmented with environmental effects such as seat motion, wind, rain, lights, and scents along with the standard video and audio
Damn, I had no idea, it's worth it then
We don't have 4DX here

I've seen several people make that mistake.

I didn't think anything
But I recognized the smug Norton smirk before he took off his glasses

I don't know why anyone thought Japan would be huge. Gunnm was never really popular over there.

/pol/ should keep the fuck out of Yea Forums

I'm disappointed in USA, Europe and China did their part

USA hasn't done shit.

The seats can move just like those amusement park virtual ride. When a character gets stabbed, the backseat hits you and there's shaking during action sequences. There's droplets of water if it's raining and there's wind blowing when they are above buildings

exactly they hardly saw any movie, they barely watched alita and that was number one. even how to train your dragon did worse and it was their best debut.

>Any $150m+ movie that doesn’t make $900m is a total gross loss
wow huh good thing Hollywood puts out billion dollar blockbusters once a month and doesn’t constantly eat shit sandwiches at the box office.

Actors are literally starving, it's why the government takes such a hard line against online piracy, piracy kills for real.

It's a gorillion now.

This is another the reason the movie was so well done. It really showed how the future will look once technology has merged with humans.

Smoking in movies comes with an automatic R-rating.

Fucking love the manga, just saw the movie and I was honestly amazed at how good it was. They absolutely nailed Alita and Ido and the movie's beautiful to look at.

They definitely shoved too much of the manga into the movie though. Like why's Motorball even in there? It made for the best action sequences in the movie but that could have easily been lifted out and it would have made for a much more streamlined story.

Glad you guys like it.

it's not about wahman or equity or whatever the fuck. it's about $$$$$$$ and power

Yeah, that's bullshit and malicious. Other than an understanding that some of the cheesiness comes from the source material itself,(Ido's jet propelled hammer comes to mind) I went with zero previous knowledge. There's nothing revolutionary in the worldbuilding by 2010 standards, and the story and character archetypes are easily understood.
The script omits things for the sake of brevity, (how Chiren gets to be in place to help Alita saving Hugo's head, but in any case her motivations are stated which I believe is more important), but it's a minor problem compared to what the film gets right overall.
