Alita: Battle Angel General Discussion
Previous Thread:
/ALITA/
>There was a lot of discussion. We asked if they (Rodriguez & Cameron) wanted us to try something? And, Jim pretty much just said, (and excuse the swearing)... but Jim said, 'fuck the haters'. And he said, ‘we're going to go bigger with the eyes - that's what's going to fix it.’
FUCK THE HATERS EDITION
...
Hahahaha nice!
how can one man be so based?
Based handcrafted OC edition.
Do you think she has build in reproductive system? Artificial Womb and stuff?
"Cameron was right."
No
Things it took me too many viewings to notice:
1. When grewishka is hacked, the monitors behind him are showing his voice as measured waves. When nova patches to vector, the monitors obviously stop.
2. Alita went from
>I don’t know what I am
to
>This is who I am
(A person who gives her own heart to others, which relates to:)
3. Alita offered her heart to Hugo and then proved she followed through when she literally hooks up her heart to him
>I would give my life for him if I could.
4. The two schlubs on the edges of pic related are called Red Wingman and Blue Wingman. Are these two different positions for the team matches or are they weird cyborg twins?
^w^
So which Alita poster are you going to buy anons?
>...but Jim said, 'fuck the haters'.
WHAT A MADMAN!
Imagine if Hugo's new body had sex capabilities and her body had sex capabilities and sometimes they'd just swap bodies wouldn't that be weird? Hehe...
Based ^w^ poster.
May i ask what other movies you guys really like? I kinda want to see what the alitabros tastes are. Just pick 3 movies to sum you! Mine are Alita Battle Angel, Alita Battle Angel, and Alita Battle Angel.
fucking BASED
Literally raising the bar over here.
Good choice but let me tell you who you're wrong.
>#1. Alita: Battle Angel
>#2. Alita: Battle Angel
>#3. Alita: Battle Angel
>#4. Alita: Battle Angel
>#5. Alita: Battle Angel
>man
cyborg, how can meatboys even compete?
>1. When grewishka is hacked, the monitors behind him are showing his voice as measured waves. When nova patches to vector, the monitors obviously stop.
spOoKy
Before the decline of human civilization there probably were such bodies made for cyborg women who wanted to still have children.
Every sign indicates biotechnology at that level was lost, however.
The Venusians could easily make one it, if you accept them as a reality within the first series.
>tfw no girly Alita copy twin gfs
>Hey user how about you register as a hunter warrior? we could be a team!
The level of detail! Holy shit.
>things I didn't notice
>its all surface level and obvious
is everyone in these threads room temperature IQ or something?
don't judge:
Alita Battle Angel
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH HELP ME FLOP-KUN!
By "facing" the music.
I need the Panzer Kunst meme
based 'fuck the haters' poster is based
>Just pick 3 movies to sum you!
Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro
Moneyball
The Sting (or Once Upon a Time in the West, these two are pretty neck-to-neck)
I really like this one. Kind of plain, but i like looking in her eye.
Little details, Brie you roastie. Fuck off.
Fuck off, it's fun to pick up on stuff.
Yeah the script is tightly wrapped, I could write paragraphs of all the set ups and pay offs that happen every scene. No dialogue is unimportant and every action has a consequence. It's not often a blockbuster puts this much work into it's screenplay. One of my favorite connections is that ironic one you posted, she gives him her heart, just not in the way she originally meant. Originally just to get him to satisfy his dream, but when said dream was shattered, it was to just save his life. Of course I've mentioned the "I'm not your daughter" and then "Thank you father" arc that goes on between Ido and Alita. Every person Alita tries to save dies, you get the idea.
They look like sex-obsessed bimbos.
Gna buy this one
I'll respond to this unironically, Die Hard, Almost Famous, American History X
you just called alita's character arc "a little detail."
>Just realize she didn't say it back here.
>She only said it at the very end when he's about to die.
T_T
Monitors and wingmen are details. And I probably have a better idea of her arc than you, bitteranon. Stay salty
Jaws, Predator, and The Prince of Egypt. Alita is getting up there though.
They watched all the other Alita clones fight each other and die in awful ways so they were just like fuck it let's party.
What's funny is they turn out to be extremely deadly.
Pulp Fiction, The Empire Strikes Back, Intolerance: Love's Struggle throughout the Ages
I wish 2-D animation came back so we could have more movies that look as good as Prince of Egypt.
But I thought fighting and killing was everything Alita wanted out of life.
so that's a yes to being room temperature.
Baraka
Titanic
End of Evangelion
just a random selection of my favorites
Nice taste, Prince of Egypt is great.
Is there Alita porn on the internet?
very good user, you made a clever insult we saw it the first time
K
Don't even think about it.
No, Alita is not for lewd or sexual.
I've been away from the chans for a couple of years, so I had to look up what "based" means - and James Cameron is the very definition of the word.
>Whose rules do I live by?

Yeah dude. Same as Gwwwwwwwaisssshka.
go on user, i deserve it
Requesting a talented drawfag to make a picture of Alita teaching Yotsuba how to be tough, maybe teaching her a punching technique. Wood b cute.
After the movie I literally hit up sad panda and found nothing beside a handful of stray pictures from the fucking 90s.
HEY PRINCESS
i liked how the made the damascus blade standard martian issue instead of some unique thing only really possible to make in the scrapyard.
I mean he basically hitting on her so
Good. Fuck you.
>Prince of Egypt
Yeah, its been my favorite movie since i was 5. Stuff aint as beautiful as it use to be. Except Alita. ALITA IS BEAUTIFUL.
When did you first start using fortune (that's slang for "Yea Forums"), user? I started in 2009, myself.
the absolute madman!
THIIIIS!!!
make sure to start with a proper resolution this time :P

I love them all though.
>:P
Literally stop that
Really hard to pick jus three but Alita is definitely current favorite. Three others would maybe be Conan the Barbarian, Predator 2, 7 Samurai. Alternatively, Yojimbo, Escape from NY, and the 1970s Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
this man and his waifu are inseparable
>drawfag
>talented
man its really like you've never been to this website before a month or two ago.
There have actually been some anime movies that still look gorgeous but the west has pretty much given up and just makes bland 3-D animation.
May your dreams be filled with angels.
>ignore the meatboys Alita, you don't need them
Look at this true fan always going for the underdog
right now I'm really in a Jurassic Park / BR 2049 mood, not the shitty sequels, but the original. I might go for some obscure kaiju films later.
Thoughts?
>stay comfy see you tomorrow user
I like how they don't even try to copy Panzer Kunst and just sorta do their own thing.
I SAID YOU’RE A FLOP
YOU HEAR ME?
>flirting is standard casual interaction.
this really leads me to believe you talk to a lot of girls pls tell me more
>obscure kaiju films
Like War of the Gargantuas?
>Speed Racer
Shit yeah. The ending was pure kino.
Are you implying the site suddenly acquired talented drawfags about a month or two ago? Lucky us.
Thanks user!
>SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR FACE
yeah like the shit no one wants to admit they watch like Varan or I might rewatch Rodan or Mosura maybe I should try to rewatch Gigan but I can't get over the Barbie set lmao
man, its like you really can't read.
Damn that’s hot
Nope. None.

I know it's sinful but I am saving this, look how blissful she is.
what made them giant sluts though. they were never clear on that
Late 2004 or 2005 I think. People were linking meme pictures in our anime IRC channel. I'm not a "boomer" - I'm genX ffs.

why does she have six fingers?
Could i get some recommendations? I'm not completely new to anime, like ive seen some of the popular ones, but not enough to say im into it.

>Have Sechs
Somebody post Zapan with his sliced face crying AAAAAAAAAH IT WASN’T A FLOP! IT WASN’T A FLOP

>Dunkirk
Mostly period movies. They usually have better looking sets and costumes. I like anything with big wide shots.
Ido can't save his daughter who couldn't run away in time
>Saves Alita when she gets her legs cut off and can't run away
Omg yes Ido redeemed himself
>I'm here forever user
Ghost in the Shell '95
Kiki's Delivery Service
Matrix
The joke is he already redeemed himself passing on the body. His trial was keeping his redemption by keeping her safe then finally letting her protect herself.
Pretty Baby (older)
The Social Network (newer)
The Secret of Kells (animated)
I like plenty of others, but these ones in particular left an imprint on me.
oh look, erotic fanart by someone who has clearly never seen a vagina or nude female
Well I don't know what you've seen but watch every Studio Ghibli film.
Akira and Steamboy by Katsuhiro Otomo look great.
Redline is entirely hand-drawn in an age where everything is done with computers and it should be loved for it.
Your Name, 5 CM/Second and Garden of Words by Makoto Shinkai have gorgeous scenery as well, on top of making you cry.
Also watch every movie by Satoshi Kon.
That should keep you busy for a while.
For anyone who doesnt have it.
That's what scares me. We want you to have another movie and not just be trapped here.
Found my new wallpaper.
Thanks!
Any more Alita wallpapers?
>I don't care if I'm trapped here as long as we're together user
look at her hand
have sechs
>he thinks this is another finger and not a wrinkle
Honestly, what's your IQ?
Jim knew what we wanted before we did ourselves
That was no accident, alita kicked herself free and pirouetted out of the way, chopping screwhead up.
I love how the climactic blow to this final battle is us getting to see Stinger’s buzzsaw arms destroy someone proper, followed by alita one upping him in finishing move.
>Alita, Alita,
>She remind me of a Gibson story.

She’s so cute I’m saving this pic again
>I'll come back for you
Yes? You should have a fold of skin like that between your thumb and index finger as well.
Hi fren
Would it be weird to have it as both my desktop and mobile or just do one? I don't want to seem like im obsessed or anything hahahahhaaaa.....
>this meatboy here seems to like you
I’m using
It's scary not knowing for sure if she'll get a sequel bros. Our girl deserves better.
its funny how you people just resist literally any criticism of anything.
Also: the films of Mamoru Hosoda
And the series Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo
I will stop for now.
farts
You were objectively wrong and it's not a valid criticism.
Cloud Atlas
BR2049
Pan's Labyrinth
It's not really so much criticism as it's you being an idiot though. Have you ever seen a person's hand or are you just a computer program?
well, thanks i guess
>or are you just a computer program?
It would be pretty ironic there's a lone bot lost here in this thread trying to shill against Alita. kek
Hot Fuzz, The Fifth Element, Event Horizon, Soldier(1998), Blade Runner + Blade Runner 2049, Aliens, Johnny Mnemonic, Nirvana(1997), Dredd, Starship Troopers, RoboCop, Terminator 1/2.
Expanse, Firefly, Buffy, Lexx
>Cloud Atlas
this movie didn't get enough love
Except how it looks like a finger being curled under the palm. ya know, if you're not blind.
>Soldier(1998)
Also adding that to my 'not enough love' opinion.
we're talking about porn/anatomy now though. so calm your kneejerking.
How would Alita be different if it were a John Carpenter action film?
Depends where you are but often it can be.
This picture fills me with rage
>Soldier(1998)
FUCK
YES
GODDAMN
>What are you going to do?
>I'm going to kill them all, sir.
You're just plain wrong about anatomy though so why are you even?
>Stinger
The fuck was that dudes problem. Him screaming in like every scene he was in. Shit was great.
I do not understand his low mark, it is simple but it is a wonderful film about duty.
>nirvana
Well, you convinced me to watch it.
I would bet you even money this would be Alita's favorite movie, too.
*low, bassy growling*
Except I'm not, I've backed it up with a visual aid, and for some reason you people are just refusing to see it.
its confusing to say the least. but that's how these threads go, people present objective facts and you just refuse to see them. there's not even a good reason why at this point. Unless one of you is the guy who drew
And they threw him in a landfill.
They made a deadly mistake.
Have underestimated it.
It was a super ambitious attempt to adapt an almost impossible novel. Regardless of the problems the film has it still makes me hopeful for the future whenever I watch it so that's why it's so important to me.
Also the book/film was one of few things me and my long term Ex shared- we used to read passages of the book to each other on nights we couldn't sleep so that's super special to me even if it's still a bittersweet memory.
INTERLINKED
Darker city like how he made New York and little China fucked up instead of how Rodriguez made the scrapyard a cheery Rio de Janeiro. Hammier lines and 80s costumes. Same pacing. Kurt Russell instead of Christoph Waltz.
*elbow breaking noises*
This is an unbelievably based list user, top tier taste
Found my next blu ray buy
Is there another board we can flip people on?
The best cyberpunk, I think.
This is Alita general. We don't do that.
>I've backed it up with a visual aid
user your hand can have a fold like that one, try moving your thumb around and you'll see it.
Oh wait, you don't have hands. You're not human, after all. Let me put this in words you understand:
boopbeepboopbeepboopboopbeepboop
fuck man, imagine a cross between hinduism and cyberpunk
and I know hinduism is moksha not nirvana but whatever
*eyeball ripping noises*
And that Alita pic is one of my fave comfy ones. I love you and I love all the anons in this general.
people come here when they are ready.
The issue is the perspective on the hand, that fold is coming up from around behind the hand in a way that is not natural and looks more like a fifth finger than just the hand. Hell, its a fold only fat people really have at that.
>imagine a cross between hinduism and cyberpunk
Imagine?
That ending where he glances at the scythe to fool his enemy purest of kino. That follow up was cheer worthy.
creepy
You calling me fat? Yo mama so fat she don't even know the word 'cuz she done eat the dictionary
I can't break it down to 3 movies, but i can give you my 3 favorite anime movies: Akira, Ghost in the Shell and Jin Roh
kek gottem
so you're the "artist" and you're fat. Okay.
>"artist"
No I can't draw
Wish I could
I'd use that skill to draw pictures of cute girls.
I heard it was supposed to be in the same universe as Blade Runner but they couldn't obtain licensing.
hell yeah m8
Is Jin-Roh the Batman v. Superman of anime?
I love you too user
>Ido couldn't save his daughter who couldn't run away in time
>Saves Alita and redeems himself
Oh shit, didn't really think about that. I got the idea of them both maturing in that moment, Ido letting go of his daughter (and her body) and letting Alita be who she wants to be, and Alita being more accepting of Ido, but him doing what he couldn't to save his daughter is a nice touch.
>One of the tattoos on Todd's arm was "Tannhauser Gate."
oh my god seek professional help
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED AT TANNHAUSER GATE?
NANI THE FUCK
BLADE RUNNER
ALITA (with side by side timing)

what does it MEAN?!
Nova fell in love with Gally in the dream simulation and made them his cumslaves
i love you too!
>I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
C-BEAMS MOTHERFUCKER
Ah yes, C-Beams, of course. Only an a-boy wouldn't know about c-beams...
Rosa, I know you're in this thread. Or I hope you are.

Look at that sweat. Goddamn. Imagine what it feels like. Probably smells nice too.
>he's not a fan of the Blade Runner extended universe
user pls
Here's a higher bitrate of this webm.
We have to find an easter egg to BR in Alita. There HAS TO BE ONE! Something! And not just dramatic timing in the scene! Like a spinner in the trash or a word or something!
We have to connect the dots!
This is really problematic!
blade runner was nice but the "c-beams" meme is based in a total lack of understanding of that scene. br49 was ass, of course.
i actually had to look up what were you talking about.
did your parents had you do that test when you were a a kid?
So what anime versions of this are worth watching? Is this in the same universe as Armitage?
These fuckers move as fast as chat rooms I keep missing good content
Rosa stop what are you doing!
There is only one anime version and I can't recommend it. Read the manga.
poor memory is also linked to poor cognitive function.
>blade runner was nice but the "c-beams" meme is based in a total lack of understanding of that scene. br49 was ass, of course.
Explain why it's based on a lack of understanding.
Fair enough, i couldn't stand the Blame! netflix garbage either.
Like motor oil
That's a good smell.
you are a fun guy
The real monster was Deckard Cain all along
youtube.com
I just found feelmaggeddon.
its a three year old in the body of an adult trying to cope with the idea that all his memories and experiences, everything that impacted him, would vanish with him.
whereas the meme is:
>LMAO NIGGA CBEAMS I SEEN SUM SHIT NIGGA LMAO WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN WHATS A C-BEAM
>Names her after his dead daughter
>Dresses her in her daughters clothes
>Won’t tell her
>Won’t tell her who she is either until she forces him
>Controls when she can go out
>Won’t let her get a job
Ido was some kind of creep wasn’t he
And here's a longer one with that guy clipped out.
I don't think you understand what memes are.
>Stay a while and listen.
yeah but he has a cool hat
He was Dad.
...Yes, we totally get that. I think you're overlooking the connection between the movie Soldier and Blade Runner though, since both Todd and Roy Batty were at the Tannhäuser Gate.
Retarded spamming. Next question.
That's just the start of his arc
So, are we getting a sequel?
t.molestered victim
FUCK THERE GOES MY INSURANCE!
That’s for jimbo to decide
What did I just watch?
WHO THE FUCK CAN DO THAT?!
There can be no doubt about it.
This is the most amazing thing
or I was commenting on c-beam spam.
This is not a Swan Song
>spam
You don't know what that word means either, do you?
Looked great
Shit story
Believe in Jim.
Holy shit hahahaha
Some madlass went and fucking did it. Goddamn.
All of them
Binge reading Last Order isn't bad but I would have been fucking furious if I was following it in real time and this vampire shit ground the story to a complete halt. Did Kishiro have a stroke or a sudden bout of writer's block or what?
I noticed most of those
>Alita promises Ido she won't go out at night
does it anyway
>Huge promises Alita he won't miss her first game of motorball
Breaks his promise anyway
Zapan:
>Lose meatboy over there and let me buy you a drink
Alita:
story goes that last order was all about canonizing fan characters because kishiro didn't want to actually write gunnm anymore.
Is that top one the window poster? I got that one from my theater, if so let me warn you, the thing is 6 feet tall.
Want to get Italian posters as ANGELO DELLA BATTAGLIA sounds rad as fuck
oh shiiiit
I want a Latin poster. Don't know what the actual correct grammar/syntax would be, but I think it would be Alita: Bella Angela
It is. I plan on framing those and hanging them form my closet doors. The size is a perfect fit.
google says it owuld be Angelus Alita Proelio
Not what mine says.
Also
>implying Google Translate can into grammar
Don't trust it for anything but rough translations.
I spend my whole work day shilling for this movie and convinced a good amount of people who were unsure to go watch it. Feels good. Now to lurk this thread.
Gosling as KAOS when?
Now we know it works.
this is so autistic why do I like it
>this much pure autism in one video
Because it's genuine
Alita Proelium Angelus
this seems to be the one
God fucking Damn, literally on the same autism level as this. Fuck, it looks so similar I almost want to believe it's by the same person.
youtube.com
>my actual face when
I'm speechless.

post more
why am I getting these doomsday headlines all the time?
cinemablend.com
It's over, right ;__;?
holy shit
how the fuck do you do kaos without den? how does nova build den for kaos? how does nova build den to tear down salem if he's in salem?
>Dark Angel, another creation from Cameron, was inspired by Alita.
Fucking watched that years ago... and it makes sense thinking back. Amazing.
How can one man be so based and dedicated to his waifu?!
Now I have something else to binge watch.
This would be cringe if it weren't so based
Unironically
Ah, but is the -us suffix masculine? It should be feminine since the subject Alita is female, or at the very least neutral like the previous word. I have now idea. I started learning Latin, but I dropped it like most things because I'm a sad sack who can't commit. Fascinating though. One day.
Anyways, I think it would be Alita: Proelium Angelum. No clue though.
Actually I just looked it up, Angelus is a masculine word first and foremost, so you're right. It would be Alita: Proelium Angelus
>Reviewers bought by Disney.
Being positive in the face of doom is the theme of Alita.
This is old news, the film is close of breaking even.
yep, its over. it probably won't even cross 400m this week.
I can totally buy that because for fuck's sake, the edgy gunslinger vampire is some original character donut steel shit. Not to mention the big titty mommy vampire surfs down the god damn St. Louis arch on a sword.
Kaos used Psychometry to learn the art of building giant robots and Kaos built Den himself so he could take down Zalem.
Bam, give me money.
>Cameron's entire life was simply a Nova-esque experiment to create Alita.
Quick, someone check is finances and see if he's working with Elon Musk.
Well China will still be playing it for two months so that doesn't mean much.
next
next
dude, its just not gunnm without nova running around the ruined earth trying to make "humans" that are completely free of human nature, but only succeeding in littering the world with nightmares.
absolute madlad, I love it
it made 600k monday in china, down 77% from the previous monday. a year in chinese theaters isn't going to mean much.
Kaos is still his son, that didn't change. That still makes this his doing.
>give me
there's also the fact we're talking about a sequel that won't happen.
Not with that attitude it won't. Cheer up user, we'll get that sequel and many more. Just wait, you'll see!
Let me tell you something.
Unlike Solo, TLJ, etc. the film got a more positive response AFTER it was released. And apparently everyone involved on A:BA know this, so let’s keep dreaming.
Our weaponized autism could carry the sequel’s hype
but i don't want sequels to happen. because i don't want more bastardized anime adaptations.
EAT SHIT AND DIE
>bastardized
Go eat a dick on you dumbass faggot
"No."
