So do we know if there are scenes that were cut that might be released on disc?

funny how some anons complain that the movie makes Iron City "too nice" but it makes a bounty hunter bar look totally tame lol

In the manga it was a harsh world. The movie Kansas is on street level but in the manga you have to descend down the stairs (paying homage both to a similar bar in Akira as well as to Dante's Inferno) and look, did you notice?
There's no ramp for wheelchairs. Now THAT is harsh. The movie completely misses subtleties like this.

Make the water piss yellow with brown turds floating in it.

The film is completely focused on Alita and her personal vision and perception.
Cameron wanted a fully virtual Iron City, but it would have cost 300 million.

You know the true magic of this film? The credits are only as long as Swan Song. When's the last time a 150+ million movie didn't have credits that drag on forever? Like Frozen's credits are literally over 10 minutes long for comparison.

Yeah, the credits are actually surprisingly pretty short. It's only like 2 minutes. Most movies now have 10 minutes or so of credits.

Where were you when you realized that Alita: Battle Angel is an allegory that overtly challenges the entire cynical Babylonian entertainment empire (represented by the city in the sky "Zalem" which is connected thru a space elevator to the space base "Jeru") through its honesty, empathy, and sincerity of heart?

Where's her red war paint?

I was actually surprised. So many visual effects and yet such a short list of people in the credits. Compare that to any Marvel movie.

Keep going
I like to see how gracefully the scenes were cut, or transferred, or rearranged.
The film showed more attention to Alita.
And as having read the whole manga, I can immediately say that despite the difference in the presentation method, all the ideas and the meaning and experiences of the manga are preserved. Those that were in the first two volumes, of course.
Even intensified.

But the CGI is so convincing. She hardly moves like a fake character, they got her motions down perfectly. I don't think the critics realize that by not seeing how seamless the CGI, they miss the artistry and effort to ACHIEVE JUST THAT. Also, all of the best characters of late aren't real. Alita, Thanos, some Rabbit and Tree.

Fortunately in the film, Alita’s late design was used.

It was expensive as fuck, £75 not including shipping. Comes with a slipcase and art print, and the book itself is numbered (they only made 300) and signed by Robert Rodriguez

needs work desu

It doesn't make sense, does it. In one of the images she goes from blowing her brains out to desperately handing the gun away, while in the other she's eagerly grabbing the gun and blows her brains out. I don't get it either.

Why are you glad? I couldn't buy it because of that.

Oh damn ... the movie is the same.

Man, fuck the guys who said the OST sounds like generic "epic music". Listening to the orchestral emotional pieces in particular and it's fucking gorgeous. They seriously convey emotion, not just fill the air with musical noise.

Dredd is like Alita's older uncle everyone forgets about except on holidays when he shows up drunk and bitter because he lost this everything in a divorce. Saddening really.

Why'd you agree to that?

The arc of the story, the very core of its plot, is how Alita manages to keep her sense of self through relentless existential assaults. The world is inexorable in its attempts to strip her identity. She plows through crisis after crisis only getting focused and stronger, more herself each time.

It's a good premise, but it eventually becomes a trope in its own universe. Kishiro never really figured out how to move the story on from there. This is why the first ending was so rushed and forced. Then why it was retconnned for Last Order only to go way over the top yet end much the same way.

This is why she shrugs off the chip revelation. By the time she learns that she's already had so much taken from her it's not much in comparison.

>Kishiro never really figured out how to move the story on from there
This is the main problem of the whole manga and each of its arches.
Sometimes it seems that the author has only Alita and the deadline for putting the chapter.
I hope to see a complete story in the films.
I do not deny orinal, it is great, but I need a clear conclusion.
Without copies of copies, trees and other things.

And your goal now is to meet Jimbo and Kishiro and get their signatures. And Rosa too.

I'm far more gone than you. This feeling I have right now won't last. But I did feel healed a little while, anyway.

Kishiro is definitely going to be a hard one to get, unless this movie's success compels him to do the convention circuit. Jimbo is already tough if you don't live in LA/NY and have connections at the airport or local restaurants to tip you off.

Just got back from my third and most likely final watch. I just hope it's enough for a sequel.

Dredd really got fucked. It was a great 3D film and pulled from theaters in two weeks. Glad I caught it on the last day. Had word of mouth spread quickly, it could have made like $100m worldwide easily.

Alright, then it's time for a Rewatch Roundup.

How many times have you seen Alita and what format?

1. Standard 2D, Big Screen
2. IMAX 3D

Gonna aim to see it one more time next week on a small screen. Already checked the times and it's around to at least Thursday.

peaches i love u

We'd been dating since middle school and I loved her. I guess she didn't like that I started getting more confident and easygoing with other people but that's just an assumption. She started calling at odd times and she wanted me to visit her during her work and school breaks everyday. I had zero downtime and eventually we just agreed that I'd drop out of college before my scores tanked.
Not happening again, user. I wouldn't say I was depressed but I did become a conformist. Now I know I want to be someone. Right now self love and whatever new friendships I can make are all I need.

1. 3D Standard
2. Standard
3. Standard
4. Standard
5. Cinemark XD
6. Standard
7. IMAX 3D

Sounds like a psycho, I hope she gets cancer.

All I did was upload the small image to this site:
waifu2x.udp.jp
and hit x2 upscaling. I think there are similar sites that have higher scaling limits but I can't remember them atm.

Also I had to compress the resulting to post it here with the 4mb limit.

Aw, thanks.

>1. Standard 2D, Big Screen
>2. IMAX 3D
exactly same as me, I am legitimately 100% willing to sink some serious cash on a respectable blu ray release

All 3 times in 3D.

I don't get how Dredd got a neat limited edition poster but I can't find anything similar for Alita. I haven't even been able to find one of the Japanese posters with the Kishiro artwork.

The first ending isn't rushed, it's the only possible outcome of the clash of those two archetypes (Alita and Nova). If anything, it's the middle part that was too long.

Last Order takes the worst things about the original and turns them into Gantz-like siliness.

It will take Kishiro realizing his own limitations as a storyteller, comprehending the problem, and figuring out how to overcome it. At this point I don't think there's anyone he'll listen to. He's had fans blowing smoke up his ass for decades so he probably thinks he can do no wrong. And he may be beyond his most creative years.

This is why I'm kind of okay with not getting a sequel. The film ended on high note that suggested the story to come. We know how it's ended before, and if sequels end the same way it's not going to be satisfying. I don't want to see Alita become another Matrix franchise. A bittersweet cutoff is an ending I can live with.

Theaters/Studios were in the wrong. It was likely just about to pick up steam and then poof, gone from theaters right as people were hearing good things. People were livid. I guess everyone just assumed it was going to be schlock and skipped it.

I liked Gantz for a good long while. It was fun.

I live in Australia so sadly I don't think I will ever be able to get any of their signatures, which is a shame

Good on your self-actualization, user. I think it's such a great feeling, even if you were mostly /healed/ before you saw it the second time

it's really too bad. Usually don't enjoy slo-mo shots much but Dredd did it well and actually had a good reason for it.
Today was 99spiritually times. At least a few in 3d. Got a buddy to see it two times completely voluntarily too. I might make it an even 10 if I can get this AMC gold ticket issue resolved.

The script(s) is done. All that's really left is for Cameron to pull the trigger on it to begin production.

What makes you say that?

>I guess everyone just assumed it was going to be schlock and skipped it.
Exact same thing happened to Alita. It just was fortuitous enough to not also be burdened by a terrible past association and lack of screens.

>another Matrix franchise
Cameron will not do that.
I believe in him.

Jon Landau said the fans would determine when they'd make the sequel, and if you go to any Alita soundtrack upload, there's thousands of comments of people talking about how much they loved it and saying how they saw it more than 4 times. They better not bitch out

SO WHATS THE NEWS Yea Forums?!
Has this movie reached its goal of financial success and dominated Captain Marvel as a better film and better female lead?!

Tell me some good news

I mean, Robert Rodriguez just retweeted a post by someone asking for a sequel.

oh shid

not only will there be one
jimbos directing it to solidify a 3rd film

351 million
Only need 349 million more to break even!

Can you guys stop asking this? We really won't know anything for like another week or two. Right now, the movie is doing really good.

>Jon Landau said the fans would determine when they'd make the sequel,
That's just a roundabout way to say "give us money, but we're not going to jump over our heads promoting it, ad it for us".

Slow but steady. I am particularly interested in this coming weekend, however. I extremely curious to see how many people who haven't seen Alita and are going to see Captain Cheesefeet and have buyers remorse and decide to see Alita which they brushed off prior to see if it's any better. which it is.

It's bizarre how Avatar cast such a wide net and got basically the entire movie going audience. Alita didn't, but it did get the right audience. If a sequel gets made, it's made just for the fans.

Obviously but I like to think of it in the non cynical way

Alita
The adaptation of the old, not having a noticeable fan base manga.
After a series of failures of screen versions of much more famous works.
It seems impossible, but we have it.
And you still think, Cameron will not give us a sequel?
After all?

i think he is getting good inspiration from the movie.
the last chapter of MC feels better than the garbage he was pulling out of his ass in recent years

It means they know fans want a sequel. That right there is a big indication of good news.

I'll just repeat my point: given the source material there's almost no other choice.

Maybe they can fix it with proper pacing. Odds are high against it ever happening.

Attached: Page180.jpg (747x1110, 215K)

It was good for a while, but then it overstayed its welcome and turned into an overextended mess. It could've been two or three times shorter and it would've only benefited the story imo.

Good, Landau.
We will do it for you.
But not for your sake or thanks to you.

manga and movie are different and both fine

Man I hope so.

I mean, they already wrote the scripts for the sequels, so they have something planned out.

Well dug they know fans want a sequel but can they do it?

>seems like people seeing it for the first time is happening a bit more than usual. What's going on? Are people ready to be healed?
I only waited this long to see it because I wanted to make sure the theater wasn't too busy.

I thought you guys overhyped it.
I found some the interactions a bit strange (but still enjoyable) before she got the pre-war body installed.
then it became fucking great.

Wow imagine that, planning things out ahead of time and having a singular vision. What brilliance.

We'll know in like 2 or 3 weeks when the box office is pretty much done.

I haven't been in the generals for a while

Ah sorry, it's hard to tell sometimes, people ask every thread.

So, is she technically naked there?

BR2049 also didn't get the love it deserved, but it was a pleb filter and not appropriate for the small minded.

Unfortunately, even to speculate on the theme "as if I continued", without understanding how much was changed and whether the change was Nova is impossible.

She's not technically naked, she's just plain naked.

technically

Technologically naked.

Yes.
Twice we are shown completely naked Alita in full growth.

It was also a sequel that no one really wanted, so having it all was a surprise. Based Denis just making the film to show off how good Dune will be.

Oh you don't even get why im REEing, right?
Waltz is not a Kraut.

Imagine being JJ Abrams and trying to come up with a script for IX knowing that he has to acknowledge all this insane bullshit from Ep. VIII. No wonder nobody wanted Kennedy's job after Solo.

What is he then? He speaks German, like Hitler, so he's German, right?

cute feet

Are you gonna send one to Robert Rodriguez?

And that he can't bring Luke, but will probably be a Force Ghost for like 40 minutes of screen time instead, which would really just insulting because now you're disturbing the dead.

He's Austrian.
Born in Vienna.

That's like saying mericlaps and Canadians are the same.

Do you expect me to have any compassion for a hack that shat out TFA which as a movie has almost as much internal consistency as TLJ, except it doesn't actively hate its viewers?

user you're too bootyblasted to realize you've been bamboozled.

So I've been eating an orange a day for a week now and I have yet to experience an orgasm in my mouth like Alita did.
Am I doing something wrong?

So was Hilter.
Wait.

Are you savoring the orange as you eat it? Really swish it around in your mouth and get all the flavors out of it.

You have to really give it the succ to extract the flavors

is that the first thing you eat in the morning? otherwise it's not gonna have as intense flavors

>Make her a Ranger
Yes.
And sword.
And the best improvements on mobility and dodging.

Oh. Fucking bananas cucked my tastebuds then.

I never thought I will be reading through tips about proper consumption of an orange on Yea Forums Yea Forums boards.
Every new day is a new miracle.

You are desensitized by the overuse of refined sugars in modern foods. She had such a reaction because she hadn't eaten a thing in however long it had been. You need to get off the stuff to essentially let your taste buds reacclimate to a more appropriate amount.

Vector didn't do anything wrong. Change my mind.

So, last order Alita isn’t the same as Battle Angel Alita?

I'm longing for the mad max story arc in a sequel but the established arch villain Nova stands in the way. Is he the king? a dragon?
Or just a psychopath?

He was a nigger. That's entirely wrong.

>Change my mind.
He tried to kill Alita. Easy, next!

But Hitler wasn't German either. I don't get how that's an argument.

He's a scientist. He's got this theory about karma. You'll love it.
