user this is a good opportunity to be healed by Arita; remember not only do you have every right to be in a theater alone, it people judge you for it then its their loss. Don't let their small lives make yours worse.

just what sort of person makes a thread like this.

>We watched Alita; We've already won

It's amazing isn't it? No amount of corporate dealing, of social change or other bullshit can take the experience away from us. Maybe this isn't the perfect timeline but you run a simulation 100 times of this movie getting made and I think this is one of the better outcomes.

Probably, but we fought our hardest. One thing is for sure, I won't be watching anything made by Marvel or Disney in a cinema ever again (last thing I watched was IW). This movie spoiled me and made me extremely hostile towards upcoming blockbuster movies from the bigger IPs. Sounds childish, I know.

Well that's cool and good I guess.

Yes, absolutely. We're getting paid so fucking much to shill for a movie that can't even break even at the box office.
Did you see it by the way?

Why did you come to this general? One day, you might watch a movie that you care about and one that makes you feel good, user. Until then, try not to concern yourself with things you couldn't possibly understand.

I watched the OAV back then and I don't see anything butchered, there's more in the film than in the anime.

Read the manga several times and the OVA was the first anime I was ever exposed to. Your shit opinions are not welcome here f/a/g. Get out.

Its fine, if only it did this well everywhere else.

I was told what day it was.
Even if it is a yuan, then for a partial day on Friday, Alita has already collected 4+ million dollars.

Pride can fuck off I say, you should buy it. You like what you like, embrace it. Life is too short.

I'm twiddling my thumbs over here waiting for Prime 1's statue to come home myself. Got a long ways to go.

Saw this yesterday. What was up with her eyes? Why does no one mention it? Is it a homage to the thing it's based on (and her eyes are actually normal) or is that type of body modification normal in this world? Or is it a martian thing? Did everyone forget what martians looked like?

I do not feel such feelings, but I understand them.
Hope for a new Hellboy?

Saw the trailer, it looks even worse with an evil Broom for some reason, I'm passing on it hard.
Real shame too since they finally had my favorite BPRD character Ben in it.

It seemed to me that there were too many completely inappropriate jokes in the trailer.
And inconclusive CGI.

It wants the Marvel audience.

2009 was the same year as DB Evolution so i'm thinking if it came before its ok but after...ouch

I'm confused guys, here it says that it will break even, that it exceeded expectations by far and it did much better than new stories not being part of a franchise

Did we do it??

No, it still needs about 700 million or so to break even.

Not a bad amount of fanworks

I need to start going through and saving my favorites.

Bottom row, second from the left is tops.

I didn't like the Hellboy trailer. It's trying too hard, I think. The only parts of it that made it interesting is that it's set in Britain - as well as the character of Hellboy himself.

Even though Alita may be gone, the healing she provides is not. Any future movie social anxiety kun wants to watch alone will benefit from it

Tried too hard to be funny, I'm just hoping the blood queen actually ends up covered in blood.

In the movie, its a martian thing. Did you not notice? All the martians in the flasbacks had big eyes and dead martians inside the destroyed ship had big eye caveties in their skulls. Why did Cameron do it, instead of giving martians normal eyes? I guess because it makes the character unique, its also super cute and she was cute in the manga.

Not exactly done yet, every dollar counts at this point

So if it isn't 460 million AT LEAST there won't be a sequel.
That's that then. She was a shooting star.

I didn't like it. Didn't really hate it, but it disappointed me.
I saw it twice, first with my two brothers and then with a date, and she hated it. At one point she started laughing at it.
But people in general really seem to like it. I really felt it's a collection of wasted opportunities.
The girl I saw it with also saw Blade Runner 2049 with me, The City of Lost Children, and she really likes those. I have to agree with her when she said the world building was a huge problem.
It wasn't miserable.
They have lakes and a cool mini jungle, and markets and people selling burritos, a cool guy plays the guitar with cool robo-skills, and I get that guy is poor but he looks so happy! You can buy chocobars for your girlfriend and then ride on your motorcycle together after having played a cool urban sport, how is that post-apocalyptic misery?
Sure, there's rape and violence at night, but that happens all over the world in cities. Sad, bad, depressing, but way to close to reality to build the world of a futuristic nightmare.
The music was appropriate for any other movie full of action, didn't add to the movie's personality. Alita's eyes were horribly distracting.
But the parts I liked I really likes, I wish it went further with the cartoony farce. I felt it was too safe.
It's also corny, the girl I went with hated that but I say it's ok to be corny, just embrace that and be way cornier.
I'm glad the movie was well liked by most people, though. I hope they make sequels. In general I'm glad this movie exists.

>I get that guy is poor but he looks so happy! You can buy chocobars for your girlfriend and then ride on your motorcycle together after having played a cool urban sport, how is that post-apocalyptic misery?
This isn't Blade Runner, you came to the movie with your prejudice. Nobody said all animals and nature was destroyed. There are just living in futuristic indian slums.

no one gives a shit about some fucking broad's opinion.

Some valid criticism there except for the eye thing: Your brain is wired funny, user. Tbf, if they didn't frame it as a YA movie, it would have made much, much less. It's not Deadpool so while it's not perfect, it's the best we have for now and it's a towering achievement compared to similar efforts. If you want the grit, read the manga.

i dont know how to explain it but early 2000 wasnt afraid of blood and violence so the movie could have been made without limit like the manga

>how is that post-apocalyptic misery?
You must be from a third world country or something. There's situations where you can get by and still feel like you have no future because of how everything is set up. If you notice, what pays the most is crime, including sanctioned crime, while honest workers barely get by and have to overwork and use implants to get anything at all.

>Corny

Have you ever been exposed to Japanese culture before? Especially anime/manga? Because if you call Alita corny, then you at least have to concede that the spirit of the genre is VERY much intact.

Just got back from second viewing. I felt so happy the whole time and had a big smile on my face. Nothing i have seen in cinema has been able to do that for me.

Attached: 1551363596562.jpg (1240x1574, 107K)

It's not as grimdark as the manga, but there's a fine line here between making a craptastic world, and making a laughably craptastic world. I think this theme of humans making the best of their situation and having decent social interaction helps explain why this society didn't devolve into Bartertown in 6 months.

Don't get me wrong, Mad Max is great, but it feels like a caricature. Alita feels more real.

As for the eyes, I think I was helped by seeing those when Alita opens them in a close-up. It doesn't look as weird as it would if we saw her face next to a normal human's face in the first shot. Also I didn't see the first trailer. I think it's interesting that their solution to making her look less uncanny was to make her eyes even bigger.

Kingsman was plenty bloody and violent, so that wasn't a problem. Cameron and Rodriguez wanted an edgy PG-13 movie, and so they made one.

Reminder that even if it fails financially, even Blade Runner got its sequel eventually.
She waited for 300 years. We can wait too.

>daily reminder that your waifu is a sociopath who needs violence to recover her memory
>and--even worse--to "find out who she is"

You have been healed by Arita

me too

The eye thing really redpilled me on how different our brains respond to the uncanny valley thing. I was sold from the first teaser trailer but then I looked around me and everyone was talking about how uncomfortable the eyes made them feel. I think they're beautiful.

Hadn't seen that one before. It's a nice picture.

Very relatable. People need to be punched.

How was Nova eavesdropping on Alita and Hugo when they were talking on the pipe? I don't think the pipe has any cameras on it, so who was he using? Hugo or Alita?

but Rosa won't be able to play Alita when she's 50

She will, actually.

I reckon Hugo I think vector required a chip put in to his brain as part of the zalem deal

Glad to see I wasn't the only one to notice that. While it's possible that they have super-advanced telescopic microphones or laser mics, I think it was supposed to show that Nova was eavesdropping on Hugo.

I wouldn't put it past Nova to have set Alita loose on the world as a challenge to himself, but if he did that he wouldn't give himself a cheat like a chip in her brain. At least that's my read on a person like Nova.

>Plus, with the art of motion capture now so refined and only getting better, he said, "[S]he can play the part until she's 80 if she wants. That character never has to age."

>Nobody said all animals and nature was destroyed. There are just living in futuristic indian slums
The whole thing depends on Earth being so shitty you would literally go insane. Trying to escape it is impossible, foolish, and the guy tries anyway.
But the place looks liveable and even nice. There's a disconnection there, and it would work way better simply by making Earth really look like a cold ugly nightmare.
I know, and trust me I don't hate the movie. As I said I'm glad it exists, even if it didn't do much for me.
>read the manga
I did read most of it years ago. I'll finish reading now, I guess.
Dude, I literally said the film was, for me, not corny enough.
By being more corny the tone of cartoony farce would have been complete. I loved the dog, it showed up when it was very convenient (too convenient) more like in a play than a movie, or, you know, a cartoon. I really loved that. With the eyes of the girl I felt the movie was embracing the absurdity, with the awesome robots that were trying to kill her during Motor Ball I felt that way also, and with the convenient dog, but then they didn't commit. Why give the girl big cartoony and fake-looking eyes and then embrace the cartoony, insane, silly nature of the premise only some times?
All the elements were there for a much better film.
But, again, I'm glad it exists and I'm very glad people are liking it.
In a petty way I'm also glad the critics aren't liking it. The only opinions that matter are the opinions of actual movie goers.

Neither do I
The point is that a lot of the spirit of Alita comes from Rosa, and you don't mess with it unless you have to e.g. Rosa dies or loses her voice

>The whole thing depends on Earth being so shitty you would literally go insane. Trying to escape it is impossible, foolish, and the guy tries anyway.
It's an allegory for immigrants going from 3rd world countries to the West. Not all of them come from dirt poor countries where there sin't tap water. They just want a better life and that has always been like that. Jiru is a dumpster and Zalem is all clean and skyscrapers. Of course everyone wants to go up. The message of the movie was they were actually happy and didn't need to go to the wealthy city.

Because Rosa Salazar makes up for half if not more of the magic that is motion picture Alita. If she something happened to her, they'd have to get someone who could play Rosa playing Alita.

I get what you say but I just had enough of Mad Max for the last 20 years. So I am glad they made Iron town into a richer place.

I know the Manga is supposed to be about the author's own depression. But I don't think that works in movies. We had too many of them

If you mean have a read the manga the OVA was based on and then watched the OVA this movie was based on?

user the OVA butchered the manga.

I mean look what we got now: orange and chocolate bar. Big stadium. Park for young people. I don't know what we will get if it's something like maze runner.

I went and saw it today, Brisbane right in the middle of the city Australia and there was 4 other people in the 10:45am session, Makes sense but checking online doesn't seem like people are booking much. I enjoyed it but its pretty bizarre so it wont surprise me if it dosn't do well.

They also panned the original manga. Japanese are truly insects, I don't understand why you guys Stan then so hard all the time.

I come from an Anime watching background and some of the robot stuff and weird dialogue might be strange to most people. Im glad to see something like this get made but i cant see it having mass market appeal.

It has you get a nice poster like this from Touhou cinema.

I went into a showing a week ago where pre booked seats only shows literally 2 taken. Figured i had the theatre to myself for the most part.

But by the time the movie starts, theatre was suddenly 75% full, no idea how. I guess there's still a lot of people who actually just go to a movie and just hope there are seats left.

God damn Alita is waifu material through and through.

I'm crushing pretty hard over here.

>You only saw my movie how many times, user?

I saw it two times, paid for a total of 5 tickets.

Anyone have the OP pic without the promotional writing?

Three.

I figured that'd be enough but goddammit, I want to go again. I'm so sad my IMAX screen dropped her this weekend.

3, might see more. I encouraged at least 4 other people to see it. All 4 loved it btw.

so in an post-apocalyptic era you never can be happy again? you fucking turbo-emo-faggot!

3 times in IMAX. Also convinced all of my friends to see it, and they liked it.

The weird thing is usually I go full degenerate for waifus and look up porn immediately but for Alita I just want cuddles and time with her. Is this what growing up feels like?

Once
I will never go see a movie in a cinema twice. Ever in my life.

I already calculated everything in the other thread, and I can guarantee you right now, the film will be sitting above 350 to 370 million by Sunday. Then it has the rest of it's entire run to make it up to 450 million.

You have read the manga, right?

>in an post-apocalyptic era you never can be happy again?
You can, after you realize it's not the place you're in but the people you're with. You know, the point of the story?
The thing that would be a satisfying arc if they executed it better"
But for that to work as a realization you have to present the world as dark and cold and ugly.

In the original, Hugo tries to climb up there without a plan, not even thinking about what's he gonna even do when he gets there, because anger and fear have made him crazy. It's suicide and he's blinded.
But in the movie, they make a point of saying he's being chased, also without a plan but not insane, which makes no sense.

And so, his motivation is reduced to something we can understand. You are being chased, you escape.
But the lack of plan doesn't go at all with the motivation.
And he really wanted to get there, because... he didn't like Earth?
Ok, make it convincing by presenting it like a real hellhole.
In the original his brother and sister-in-law were killed trying to fly there, I mean, seriously, the guy had no tragic motivation to go crazy, start climbing and realize at the last moment what happiness really is and how his obsession blinded him.
And you fix that with an uglier world, it's really that simple.

Tomorrow go in IMAX

This. A real hero would never have to correct someone when they don't praise them as one.

i would be arrogant too if i signed a 7 movie deal over literally 100 million dollars and my hero is OFFICIALLY stronger than Thanos and therefore than the entirety of the Avengers+Thor+GotG combined.

It's not like the rest is any good either. OG is carried by supporting characters, and Last Order is just DBZ.

Which character do you think was the weakest part? For me it's probably Chiren, she's kinda useless and her arc isn't very interesting

I agree it's Chiren, which is a shame because I love J-Conn.

of course

Definitely this, her pairing with Ido to appear sympathetic does the character no favors. Creepy and vindictive Ido operating a cyborg clinic in a scrapyard should be no saint.

So Alita is great, it wasn't a big financial success, the sequel may or may not happen, the generals will stop eventually but what about the memes?
What are the good memes that came out of Alita?

I think you clicked on the wrong thread, goofy.

There's just more lurkers then posters at the moment.

You didnt see?
Captain Marvel is stronger than thanos according to writers.
No i dont know how that doesnt ruin the past 5 years of MCU development either.

One would think that big timeline of movies we got a decade ago would've been planned, but alas.

The city was literally a dumping ground for an entitled community which gets the fruit of the city's labor. I can only speculate on why you and your girlfriend did not retain that sense of humiliation in your thoughts when thinking about life in Iron City and why you seem perfectly okay with it. Is there someone in your life who uses you as a dumping ground, user? Someone you look up to and long for?

It's just a slow Friday morning. Stream can pick up during the weekends.

Hugo knew he was going to his death. He wasn't trying to climb to Zalem in order to escape, he was going there so he could die on his own terms instead of being hunted down.

I mean, I'm at class right now, I can't post here.

81 posters is a lot for a long running general

Many are /ABAG/ archive mining and creating OC right now getting ready for the weekend.

Doc Ido must have some kick ass painkillers tho. He was a head attached to a robo body and he didn't seem to be in pain. Nuts

>doxx chan's
who?

You know, sometimes its not about strength, but courage. She might not have beaten a big fighter guy, but she can beat any normal criminal on the street. Fearlessness and strength of conviction is what she has. She is just like /ourgirl/ Alita.

>What do I do to get over this film?

Let it keep healing you.

Attached: why.png (720x672, 401K)

I love that /ABAG/ is creating OC!

You misunderstood what said, what I meant by poison is that it would kill the MCU imediately, maybe in 5 to 10 years especially if Brie Larsen can't shut the fuck about her politics and sjw bs.

Zalem has sensors on that tube to detect any attempt at climbing up. The worst part is, Nova didn't known it was Alita and her bf, but he only thought that some rats were climbing the tube and mundanely pushed the button.

*wouldnt kill the MCU immediately

Nah, it started weak but then got really good.

In the manga and anime, doctor Ido is more of a younger, bigger, sturdier character.

The one thing I did find a little odd is Ido in the movie walking around with the huge weapon thing, looking like he can barely lift it - let alone swing it.

Obviously he acted superb in his part, so is it that they just couldn't find an equally quality actor who could play that role as well but who fits the manga/anime better?

Or why else this casting choice?

You aren't getting to #100, so keep dreaming.

Attached: 1550744924890.jpg (248x233, 8K)

In that scene where he is activating the defense systems, the implication is strong that he is very well hearing them

I don't want the generals to go fast because I want to keep discussing with you bros. We are actually at light speed by Yea Forums standard.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if Captain SJW failed to make the money expected of it and the MCU movie execs sued the numb cunt for lost money?

Also as a result of this (or maybe for other reasons as well), Alita did things that Ido actually did in the manga/anime

Is it that they wanted to overplay her part in general or just everything fitted better this way?

the anime is fucking dogshit trash compared to the movie

If faggots like this poster would stop shitting up the threads with bait conversations the threads would slow down.

Wrong
Nova was watching the conversation and pushed the button
But this wasn't the creepy part
he was hearing and looking using his glasses. Who was patched and having a telepresence chip? Alita or Hugo?
This makes the last words of Vector/Nova creepier: remember, I see everything

The whole thing was approved from the top, it's not just Brie Larson. Marvel was looking for a feminist hero because that would distinguish them from Wonder Woman. They previously found the black hero and thought this one would have been the same.

GUYS! SHE EXISTS

>Is it that they wanted to overplay her part in general or just everything fitted better this way?
It's just much better focus. Ido finding the Berserker on a ship was just a handwave about how he got it. They turned it into an important character moment that also further tied into information taken form LO.

no it wasnt. its still showing in mine until next thursday at least. they dont schedule beyond that so i'll have to wait and see if its there after

Alita in the manga is a german descendant
Ido in the movie is played by a German

Nothing golden can stay, anyway.
Eventually the generals will stop, and then in a few years from now when the sequel gets released we can start them again. Just don't kill yourself in between then.

i wonder what virtue signalling hero are they going to shill then, maybe a black girl on a wheel chair.
but seriously stop talking about capeshit in here, there is the whole board for that

this is why reddit is based desu

>Alita in the manga is a german descendant

How is that even known?

Wouldn't her family (or even predecessors) have left Earth for Mars literally 400+ at least years ago?

What's that realistic face generator AI called again? Someone needs to run Alita through it to see what happens. Or use the anime face generator AI one.

Gosh I wished they Emily Blunt instead, who was heavily considered to be Cap. Marvel before Brie Larsen. At least shes a proven badass in other movies she was in and is a perfect cast. But no, Disney instead put her in a Mary Poppins movie that no one wanted thats looking to just barely breaking even.

thats it im moving to peru.

I'm still in the threads. I'm at class right now, so I can't save anything yet. Will go through all the threads and download it all. Thanks for sharing interest! We're doing great, guys!

anybody else think the first teaser trailer was actually pretty good but only after having watching the movie?

It's been that way for 35+ volumes.
>what the fuck was that muster's saga finale?
Fucking glorious.
>the tumor origin story is fucking retarded.
It was surprisingly clever and satisfying. Who could have thought that THIS would be Alita's origin story? I bet that's not even the full story and Muster left some things out about Alita.

Attached: d16.png (1120x1600, 829K)

Wrong. Alita's "family" is Japanese.

At least he's from this site unlike a lot of the people in these generals.

A little update on the box office. At this point, Alita will absolutely, 100%, pass 400 million by next Thursday minimum. China will add another 40 million to it's current 280 million WW total by Monday, foreign will definitely add another 50 million by the end of it's run, then add anything extra and domestic, the film will end at 430 million or above that. Just keep going to see the film guys! Share the Alita love!

Actually I meant to say China will add another 50+ million from it's Monday to Sunday gross this week and weekend.

>It's been that way for 35+ volumes.
most of the time is justified and well integrated in the story.
here you have characters that last less than a chapter brutally executed just for the shocking effect (especially lolis), one after another
>Fucking glorious.
muster being a masochist was dumb, the rest was ok i guess.
>It was surprisingly clever and satisfying
it wasn't for me. i get that he was seeking for an origin where she never had a human body, he could have done it in any other way still he find the goriest and shitfestier way to do it.

Corporations control your life and mine, we have rights but we've accepted lots of stipulations, we elect our leaders but change is always surface-level if we're lucky, but our needs are covered and we can eat every day, we have cash for leisure, so we don't revolt.
In the movie they have time for leisure and enough food for everyone.
They had enough free time to play sports in the middle of the day and enough oranges to feed the robot.

Bottom line is, they are not poor.

They sure don't like having rich assholes dumping junk in the middle of the city, no one would like that, and in the same sense you don't like having rich assholes pressuring politicians so they restrict your freedoms just enough so you don't miss them.
I don't see you climbing to the moon, or going to another country. The future the movie presented wasn't enough motivation to commit suicide out of blind madness.
