>introduce Figure
>they fall in love
>completely drop him next volume
>introduce Kaos
>We're supposed to care if Alita cheats on him or not
wtf kishi
not with that attitude
what would our generals be like without based flop-user
hey bud what did you think of the movie?
>had to add sequel never after that last time he was utterly destroyed
She's still in my heart, user.
Remember when he'd paste his pasta every single general like an obsessed madman? kek
Imagine all the positive things he could have done with his time instead.
What are you not sure about?
somebody should switch out the actual meal with a mountain of chocolate and oranges.
>user, don't you want to get /comfy/?
What do?
FRESH OC cause some user wanted it
I need more Alita merchandise, the blu-rays will come but I want more, I'd buy anything, even a fucking Alita blanket
Recommend me a film, /ALITA/.
>I thought you wanted to cuddle with Zapan
sequel baiting
breathtaking
>how does it feel you'll wake up next to Alita looking into your eyes lovingly interlinked?
I love it!
sequel baits on movies that will never get sequels are the best endings.
I didn't say cuddle. I said comfy.
does anyone have picture of the deckman from the movie?
>Alita will never spit orange rinds into your hand
That pic is the opposite of comfy.
but I really want to see her to kick Nova's ass :(

>Interrogator: Officer A-N-O-N, let’s begin. Ready?
>user: Yes, sir.
>I: Recite your baseline.
>A: “I do not stand by in the presence of evil… I’d do whatever I had to for you. I’d give you whatever I have. I’d give you my heart… Does it bother you that I’m not completely human?... I don’t belong anywhere except with you.”
>I: Cells.
>A: Cells.
>I: Have you ever been to an Alita movie? Cells.
>A: Cells.
>I: Did you buy more than one ticket? Cells.
>A: Cells.
>I: When you’re not watching the Alita movie do you post about it on Yea Forums? Cells.
>A: Cells.
>I: Interlinked.
>A: Interlinked.
>I: What’s it like to hold Alita’s hand? Interlinked.
>A: Interlinked.
>I: Did she teach you how to eat an orange? Interlinked.
>A: Interlinked.
>I: Do you long to look into her eyes? Interlinked.
>A: Interlinked.
>I: Do you dream about being interlinked with Alita? Interlinked.
>A: Interlinked.
>I: What’s it like to hug Alita? Interlinked.
>A: Interlinked.
>I: When you’re not watching the movie do you feel like there’s a part of you that is missing? Interlinked.
>A: Interlinked.
>I: Why don’t you say that three times: Within cells interlinked.
>A: Within cells interlinked. Within cells interlinked. Within Alita interlinked.
>I: ...You’re not even close to baseline.
What's the proper course of action when placed in this situation?
I would prefer subtle stuff. Like a Factory sigil patch or workshirt. Or one of the inflatable Damascus blades to be extra.
>MORTAL KOMBAT!
Well, it did get a sequel, but...
jus b urself
HAHAHHAHAH
>just walk away
I agree, it'd be nice to have something that belongs to the Alita universe without having a huge logo everywhere, though in this particular case I don't mind I'd buy literally anything
Ok, but post the lines.
get comfy with her and talk about going to the church the next day to eat chocolate together and watch trash falling off Zalem
>it'd be nice to have something that belongs to the Alita universe
it doesn't belong to the alita universe though. Its just some piece of junk made in china. this applies to literally every bit of merch. I'll never understand people who buy merchandise.
Well, if you're going to record, sure. Send through Vocaroo. One dashed line per user.
LINES:
-laughter sounds
-Come to see the hunters up close?
-This is master Clive Lee of the white hot palm. He has over 200 confirmed kills.
-207 (last user just used text to speech)
-Well then this is screwhead, one of our most lethal bounty hunters.
-And then there's McTeague, the dog master, with his hell hounds.
-His biggest problem is having enough left over to identify after so he can collect the bounty.
-A hunter warrior is a solitary predator.
-You'll be competing against us for the kill.
-You can see what you're up against.
-I came to ask for your help... against our common enemy, Grewishka.
-He's being protected by the system and continues rampage unchecked.
-And now he's after Ido and me.
-So I'm calling on you, my hunter warrior brothers.
-Let's band together and defeat him once and for all.
-Share my knowledge, willing to make an exception in your case.
-If you cut meatboy loose over here and let me buy you a drink.
-Hey, watch it.
-And uh, what could I learn from a loudmouth pretty boy who spends all of his money on his face?
-Maybe I'll pull your arms and legs off.
-Roll your head around in the street.
-Maybe that will teach you some manners.
-punching sounds
-Grunt sound effects
-Sword slash sounds
-You do not deserve such a weapon.
-I am not impressed
-What the hell are you doing?
-I'm going to need you to stand way back.
-And if I win, you fight along side me.
-This bitch broke my nose.
-Yes I did.
-Heroes?
I'd watch it.
rigorously
I don't remember this in the movie.
Oh my god you guys, my shirt came in!!!
It was after the grinder scene.
>Peaches
>Never failing to amaze
Thank you for your unceasing efforts to create top tier Alita OC Peaches. Have this rare Alita holding a whirly pop as a token of our appreciation. You've certainly earned it.
Shit. Looks like I'll have to see it again.
Man, the original manga is so godly. The hardcover box set is a must buy for any serious manga fan.
that's her reaction after she put the dude in the grinder
>all these camrip webms
please have some decency and wait for a decent rip
Aw thanks. Wish I could share it with her.
She really gave him the smug, huh? lol
Actually, I already did my part.
>hardcover

yeah that's a big pass
Cute bloodthirsty killer.

best things come to those who wait
t. 30y/o virgin
your mom has a thing or two to say about that buster
People really wanted .webms, so why not. When the 4K release comes out, rampage of videos.
she said you're probably smelly too
how do i get a watery eyed cyborg gf?
What? That you couldn't get it up and ran off crying?
Yeah I heard about that.
WTF SHE SAID SHE WOULDN'T TELL

This isn't Gunnm and I don't approve
Digits for sequel
HEY GUYS
Seems they know of the oranges and chocolate thing to bring to screenings.
twitter.com
Amazing!
u did it
Guys, I loved the movie but let's gonna be realistic. We won't get a sequel.
The movie has barely broken even and at best it's gonna be around 400 million.
Dude, it's going to hit 400 million Monday or Tuesday and we'll be over 430 to 450 the end of it's run. They haven't updated most numbers in a week.
blessed digits do not lie; we will see her do this.
Alita is drier than a desert for gayos
extended run in china
your next line is to tell us your imaginary number on how much of the revenue goes to the studio for foreign countries
please, we have this discussion in every thread
I really that you are right...
She really lighten my life this past couple of weeks
i'm new to these threads, are you a memer? the based flopp-poster or what have you?
He's also the INDEFENSIBLE poster.
I'm just a watcher of these threads
So, what's he looking at?
>$170 production budget
>has already grossed $360 worldwide
>is going to end on somewhere between 400-600
>this is a flop
flipfloppers on suicide watch
Based
Me banging alita and impregnating her.
alitas bum
box office numbers?
600 is way too high, but 450 is more than likely the end point. Still good.
Still have no idea what I'm doing.
>peeking so tenaciously
>teeth grinding
This or waiting the Box Office to be fully updated.
Literally most of us at this point.
Nice, are you going to use it for something or are you just practicing your skills?
It's not gonna reach 600. It will be somewhere between 450-500.
My wish is it breaks 450. My hope is I'm right. But the shills have really fucked with me ITT.
Have you done your part?
Munster did nothing wrong
Some user made this, and I wanted to make it somewhat a reality.
For my broken ass yes. Watched twice and went with two friends the second time.
Maybe tomorrow I'm gonna take my two siblings to watch it.
If I were with you I'd see it again with you
His waifu being molested by his daughterfu
Bay fucking aced
How come theres 0 R18 Doujins for Alita, gally, gunnm.
Wtf is this shit
Same, user.
she's pure
I thought his character was cartoony as fuck until I realized his former self was an aspiring poet so he's hamming it up
12 times. I wish I could go again but it's unlikely because I start a new job Monday.
There probably were but never got scanned. Remember it's an old manga
RAZORS EDGE OF P U R E S T STEEL
Baron Munster was a character he created to realize his deeds because his real self couldn't support the weight of the sins.
nooo stop bullying robots
Prepare to be purified
...
i probably would cry and instantly develop an impostor syndrome within cells interlinked.
Alita is not for lewd.
>24+ hours later
>Rosa neither responded nor watched the Instagram private message I sent her telling her I loved the film
I knew you were right, Yea Forumsirgins but I had hope that she would reply at least with a “thanks!”
Her hair must be really strong if her heart alone weights 300 pounds
Did she see her friends coming down? Was that why she looked over his shoulder like that?
Same, I think. If Alita really liked me then there's no way I could understand why cells
>I'll never understand people who buy merchandise
Good luck finding someone who cares
some weak spot on his arm. She punches the same spot.
She was planning on punching his arm for the next scene. Rosa is top notch about letting you know what she's thinking with her eyes.
Unfortunately they keep the arm out of frame so you can't realize it.
> my beautiful voice never returned
;___;
No, I don't think so. She was looking at his arm and calculating her next move.
Boi.
if you dare have impure thoughts about my waifu again I will fight you
Witnessed and seeing Alita for the 4th and final time tonight with my buddy.
Saw it in Dolby Cinema, (true)IMAX 3d, and gonna be twice in standard. If we dont get a sequel, all hope is lost. At least I was lucky enough to be healed.
I tried doing the belts but it was a disaster. I quit.
because no one wants to see or make porn of their own daughter
>tfw gf got mad because I tell a friend that Alita is a good film iba Whatsapp group instead of telling her “good morning” first and now keeps asking me “why are you so obsessed with her?”
She’s jelly
Jesus, do women really do this?
You gf has real issues. Abusive ones. Tell her to fix her shit.
Real women not even once
Tell her you love Alita like the little sister you never had.
My ex would go nuts because I didn't say "I love you" enough. Women.
>No Joshogan
>No Zapan
They were in it you retard.
its ok a sequel by robert rodriguez would suck anyways
thanks user
>abusive women stories
But go watch CM and not Alita because reasons.
tell your gf to stop being jealous of a little cybergirl
>Whatsapp group
Let me guess, spic?
She's just an insignificant little girl, what's the deal?
>shills in my /alita/ thread
She knows she can't compete
she is way too poor, usually agents handle these social media accounts but looks like she doesnt had any RP representative at all.
Did Zapan die when his face got cut off?
No one can.
Nope
WEAPONS GRADE CUTE ROSA
Did he die in the manga? I liked him in the movie.
>1st love interest was hunky hugo
>2nd love interest will be bishie kaos
For next general use picrelated to commemorate our boy Billy "Billion Domestic" Batson
do the robot-tiddies have any function in battle?
>Not Alita webms.
Distract your opponent. We've talked about this, user.
theyre screwed-on oil filters
Kaos is bestboi and deserved better
back from 2nd viewing. no more 3d so watched it in 2d. probably last one i do until the 3d disc comes. melancholy feeling
Holy shit too cute.
youtube.com
eh pass
No, he comes back, twice.
sorry am new pls no hit
I miss Ido, bros.
Is Hugo die?
His sidestory is still one of my favorites in the manga desu.
> implying
She had no romantic feeling for him, she was just humoring him to stop his spaghetti outburst
He comes back. With a vengeance.
"yes."
The movie needed more of this. Alita going ham with her sword and cutting cyborgs like cheese. That would have been really cool. This was probably my favorite fight scene.
Saving it just in case for the 167th thread when the official numbers come in.
he a ded boi
gg no re
Yeah that would have been cool to see but she already just had a giant cyborg brawl with the motorball sequence. Would be awkward to put another one in by that point.
>tfw saw a reviewer say we don't know for sure if he's dead because we didn't see him die
>he was so high he literally fell through a CLOUD
When is she going home, bros?
>casually introduce main character who fell a similar height and survived lying in a pile of scrap for 300 years
kishiro was careful to make gally's brain special in how it was augmented to survive impact, vacuum, and oxygen deprivation. Thus the movie fails to establish a reason hugo would be unable to survive.
Bruh she was totally into getting heartraped.
ido has himself a new shorstack and no memory of gally. figure gets a meat-puppet with gally's original brain to fuck at the end of LO.
That's where you're wrong bucko!
Can I get an edit on the pic, though? "Based and Alitapililed."
Do Alita and FF confirm their ship in BA or until LO?
Does the manga ever explain why Alita only fell down 300 years after the fall?
You're acting like it's a bad thing. Some of us here would kill for a gf who is obsessing over you.
Bout to watch the cam rip in a bit here, how much will i regret it?
That's not obsession though. That's just bitchiness and abuse and not cute.
Very much for not going to a IMAX 3D session.
You say that now, when you're living it you'll go insane. She was constantly terrified of me not being into her anymore, all that drama ain't healthy for a relationship.
Turned out that in the end she stopped caring about me long before I stopped caring about her
>Thus the movie fails to establish a reason hugo would be unable to survive.
Well yeah, because the movie is purposefully set up for the story to continue through sequels. The questions are intentionally left open and unanswered. Revelations and answers are for later, not for introductions/expositions.
Do you even Hero's Journey?
Where I live it's not uncommon for a man to have 2 or more wives. If my gf gets jealous of a computer generated character how the fuck would she deal with a fellow wife?
anyone have the panel in the manga where supposedly Zapan actually saves Alita ?
Gotta say is kinda my fault tho, as I keep telling her I want to watch the film again since last week, browse /ABAG/ALITA/ while she’s talking to me and look for merchandise every day
>it's not uncommon for a man to have 2 or more wives.
I'm sure this user is an indonesian. Those guys are extremely weeb. I don't know why.
I always imagined he'd just take a pill, get all his memories back, react the same way, erase his memories, hide the pills, find the again, etc.
That's hilarious. Good shit.
>The last chapter of LO was in Summer 2014 (translation).
I NEED MORE WTF
C-can't jimbo let nips use the rights to make an anime? I adore the movie but I'd like to see a proper anime adaption of the manga.
>its good because its formulaic!
Super nice!
Nah he sticks it out the second time he recovers.
Og Hugo had no romantic feeling for Alita, he was just humoring her for shallow reasons. For the different reasons I think Kaos could be written into a complex love interest.
>Triple personalities, one ally (one rival and one enemy)
>Complex past. Secret sword master.
>Kaos is a son of Nova
He's the perfect link between Alita, Zalem and Nova
She knows she can't compete, that's why she is so jelly.
AAAHHHH ALITA HELP ME
>She was constantly terrified of me not being into her anymore
Bruh... I never had a woman look at me like a man and here you're complaining that your gf was worried you don't like her.
>Hero's journey is formularic
It's impossible to write a heroic story without doing it. Try and see.
>the ancient storytelling tradition of mankind is bad because...it's bad!
proper anime hasn't existed for over 20 years now.
are we gonna make it? :(
Seriously though? Does it actually stop at Last Order 129? Is there more besides LO and the main story?
Or am I doomed to long for something that I can't have (again)?
>what are flat arc protagonists
Nope I am from Egypt home of the world's first Super Power.
haha lol
should use the grinder scene too
There's a sequel called Martian Chronicle. Read it on mangadex.
>Hugo fell from the skytube thing into the scrapyard
>lost his memories in the fall
>picked up and repaired
>brought back a la Winter Soldier
>main antagonist for the 2nd film
I'll take my kino check, Disney
>seeing the same things over and over is good because it was good the last time I saw it
LO has been finished translations for years you secondaries
You'd understand if you'd lived it. I wish you luck, user.
If it makes you feel better that was my first and only gf, it's been so long I'm basically a virgin again
kek, yes we are!
Honestly user it's not worth it. I've been there and it just leads to heartbreak and bad feelings
Find yourself a girl who you feel comfortable around and who makes you a better person
>using the same tried and true framework is the same as using the same substance over and over again
lol does she actually use this face in the movie?
Thanks my man.
why? We already have Zapan.
>using the same tried and true framework is the
reason hollywood is in decline.
Here you go, based retard poster who can't into google.
Plot twist: Hugo's brain survived and was made into Deckman 100. That's why he's so devoted to Alita.
Yes. It was kinda funny desu.
^w^
Absolutely not. The reason why Hollywood is in decline is because they keep using the same SUBSTANCE, what I just said. What do you think reboots are? The same story remade, not an original story using the trusty framework.
That would actually piss me off.
Genos is the superior waifu and would kick Alitas flopping ass
Have sex
dumb S-class jobber. all he does is getting destroyed
>Robo Hugo sees Alita with Figure.
>Gets super jelly mad.
>Robo Hugo gets a berserker body.
>Takes Zapan's role as the monster.
>Resembles Mankaku in the manga after being modified by random unnamed mad scientist.
is he right?
Yep. We were only waifuposting ironically.
and every time they get a hold of new "SUBSTANCE" they beat it and mangle it until it conforms to hollywood cliche.
Nobody else looks cooler doing it though.
That dude was so annoying, I'm glad he died :)
This. Completely ironically.
It's actually a good film.
...yeah...you're not disproving what I said. They're not making anything new with the framework, they're taking something already originally made with the framework and just doing it again but with "advanced" technology.
>tfw Cuntain Marvel, a HTTYD finale with a shitty villain and Tyler Perry in drag rekt the AlitaChallenge on International Women’s Day
You're not disproving what I've said either. Because you're trying to separate two linked concepts.
You're the guy that gets shit on at the end of every thread, aren't you?
I like that you're getting ready to spam james woods at someone who's saying alita is good because it holds true to established formula and structure.
>Dec 2017
before the rework and before anyone saw the movie
and no, he isn't right, it works
why her smile make me so happy :3
You think it's good? Carry on then.
Another one /healed/.
Nope. I'm the guy saying he's full of shit. But way to prove you don't even bother to go up reply chains.
>I lied!
We know you do. Hence why I trapped you. These pictures have the exact same filenames every single time. You'd think you'd learn by now.
What? Your original premise was that the Hero's Journey framework of storytelling is the reason why you thought this movie was bad AND why Hollywood is in decline. I contested that Hollywood is in decline because they don't utilize the framework anymore and simply take works that have utilized it in the past and simply redo them, barely changing anything about it aside from graphics, hence no original storytelling.
So what exactly are you saying? Hollywood is in decline because you believe the Hero's Journey is inherently bad due to "overuse"? Hollywood doesn't even use it anymore, so how could they be declining it for "overuse"?
State what you mean exactly.
KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK
Shills never learn.
kek
>I-I made a mistake?
>N-NO! the other guy lied!!
So you're an assclown.
Again this kind of arguments? Stop ruining the threads, you fags.
So Hugo told Alita to stay focused on her dream. He showed her his, but what is her dream, guys?
Nah, completely wrong. Having seen CGI Alita, I can see why Cameron went in this direction. A real woman wouldn't be able to pull off Alita. Just not possible. The way forward is to keep polishing Alita's model so it looks more photoreal.
are there more moonfights in the manga?
to know who she is.
Wait, have I seen this before without Alita in it?
This is funnier than it has any right to be.
To be a real girl.
Kill Edward Norton
>no girl will ever look at you like this
Does he even have eyes?
Its more then likely one poster replying to themselves. Could be a bot as well.
So I just saw Alita. It was a weird movie but overall I'm glad I went to see that versus anything else currently airing in theaters.
I thought Hugo was a shitty actor though, and a bland love interest.
I'm saying hollywood keeps constantly reusing the same tropes and formulas and forces even incompatible material (gunnm) to follow these tropes and formulas. That is why the movie is bad, and that is why it flopped.
Wouldn't surprise me. They're probably trying to squeeze every penny at this point.
>To be a real girl.
>audience score up to 52% again for captain manjaw
She's pure. And she should remain that way, got it?
It's the flopped poster. Surprise, surprise.
Now that we know we can stop wasting (You)s and get back to /comfyposting/.
There's really no doubt that RT is taking Disney money.
>bitching about conversation in a general
>specifically a conversation centered around analysis of the general's subject
where in fuck did you people come from and why do you think you're welcome here?
>how can meatgirls even compete.
>stop talking stop talking REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
this is all you're doing.
Where in fuck did you come from Jerome why do you think you're shitposting is welcome here?
RT is owned by the movie ticket booking service Fandango. They are giving the money to Disney. But yes they take a cut.
So you're arguing something different entirely, then. Tropes are an entirely separate concept to the framework of the Hero's Journey. The HJ is a method in which to craft a story. Tropes and cliche's are details inserted within as part of the SUBSTANCE. You're entirely confusing the framework with the substance and equating them to be the same. This is not true.
>and that is why it flopped
Ok, so I'm with This will be my last response, because somehow I doubt you're actually interested in engaging with truthful and meaningful debate without resorting petty tricks and denials.
Yah. They are either replying to themselves or running a bot. Either way they are just tossing out bait and waiting to shitpost any poster who replies.
/comfyfriend/ checking in
i come here between blocks of study to have a smile and remind myself why i work through this stuff
>there's no doubt that a website that exists solely to get hollywood marketing money is taking disney money
damn, this needs something... this needs something old...
I heard you guys like /comfyposting/?
Why was she so selfish? Yeah, she couldn't deal with Alita's death, but she turned her back on her husband. tried to get new Alita killed, and slept with Vector just to get back to Zalem.
Substance and framework are locked together. A story can't have either.
But hey, you want to use some bitchy autist's made up identity for anyone who speaks ill of alita as an out of a debate you're losing. Whatever.
Bros I've fallen in love with Alita help me. What do I do. She isn't real.
You want to know the biggest joke?
There's no way she's from Zalem because she has a brain.
>initiating debate is shitposting
>he states
>in a general
can you people please just leave
Stop posting like a nigger Jerome.
my favorite peaches comfy webm
You first Jerome.
Then dream!
We honestly don't deserve Peaches. So much work.
Why? Why she cannot ne real? Why can girls like her exist only in fiction? What did we do to deserve this suffering?
she's from salem, they just completely blew that plot arc in every way possible by keeping her dissection scene from the OVA.
She's real in our hearts, user.
Well maybe. She might also have left before her 19th year.
its called waifu. just accept that you have autism and move on.
>Substance and framework are locked together. A story can't have either.
You're right. But you're targeting the framework as the source of the film's disagreements with you and Hollywood in general when it was the substance. You're basically calling them the same off handedly.
I will state this one more time plain and clear for you. Hollywood is in decline because they're taking stories ALREADY MADE using the HJ formula WITH substance, and doing nothing be retelling it, THE SAME STRUCTURE AND THE SAME SUBSTANCE, with superficial differences, typically better graphics.
The problem is NOT using the framework. The problem is taking the story told already, framework + substance, and duplicating it, not crafting something new. Alita does not do that. It creates a new story using the Hero's Journey framework. YOU just disagree about the substance.
Alright, this is my last response for real now.
There isn't one to begin with. This is Hollywood original filler.
We lived, that's our sin. Our redemption is make HER live.
Problem is she descended with Ido because of their daughter's illness. Unless she got knocked up pretty young, hmm.
Not going to happen cause
>PG-13
Still a good film, though. If they increased the rating it would have been totally a massive flop.
new
new
new
That's not how it works, though, in the manga. You can't have kids in the sky city because no one can reproduce.
However, there's a good chance he adopted the two of them and Chiren was just crazy.
Yeah, maybe they'll explain more later.
Well Ido has a running history of adoption so...
