If people generally agree Yukito bungled Gunnm after the original arc, why would they care the movie is doing its own thing? Is it not a fresh opportunity to tell a new Alita story, or try to salvage a cohesive one out of the jumbled source material?

Original run, not arc. Last order being trash and Martian chronicle being ass are not indictments of the original nine volumes, sans rushed ending. The original ending was bungled because it came from absolutely nowhere and concluded exactly nothing.

>romance was terrible
It's supposed to be a lopsided romance between a pure-hearted girl and a guy who's taking advantage. The "I'll give you my heart" scene really nailed it. But I agree that the rest of the romance felt a little thin on the first viewing.

>Hugo should had died the first time
I tend to disagree. It's the payoff for Chiren's heel-face-turn, and sets up Alita out-lawyering Zapan. It's also cyberpunk as hell.

>And the bar fight was stupid
In what way? The fact that experienced killers fight it out without trying to kill each other? Or that it even happened?

Alita came into a bar with her new license and told them to fight with her. When they refused, she started a fight as if they would help her right after. Alita made Zapan want to have revenge when she embarrassed. She made no allies and Hugo died

The outside of the city is shown to be farmlands and jungle and the plucky kids take their future-hippie-van on a road trip to a picturesque lagoon. There’s literally nothing keeping them in iron city, the way scrapyard residents were forced to live in the scrapyard in the manga.

Zapan sealed his fate as soon as he insulted Hugo, telling Alita to 'cut loose meatboy'.

What was this originally for? Mars Needs Moms or some shit?

I missed the part where iron city had tightly controlled borders and language barriers and all the other sociopolitical barriers to travel/relocation that the real world has.

Oh you mean ALITA was stupid. That is the fucking point - she is drawn to conflict and naive about the world. What she pulled here might have worked in her own warrior culture, and it might perhaps even have worked if Grewishka hadn't shown up. She had already toppled Zapan off the top of the hunter-warrior hierarchy, and she thinks showing herself as the strongest fighter will work to gain allies, like the chieftains in ancient Europe.

>tightly controlled borders
Did you miss the lines of people waiting to enter Iron City being aimed at by a Centurion? Dialogue says there's only farms outside the city, and we see nobody living there.

And how are people going to get any food unless they work for The Factory? It's like a Gulag in the middle of Siberia: You need no walls, because where the hell are you going to go?

Talking movie continuity here, I know there's differences with the manga.

In the manga, Hugo’s only choice is literally hell or Salem, because he can’t leave the city any other way. This is not the case in the movie.

In the manga, the outside of the scrapyard, even if people could leave the city, was ruined wasteland where nothing could grow for as far as the eye could see.

So you’re asking how people could get food from a lush, verdant jungle area?

you mean sexual

They set the movie in panama. So it’s a short drive to two oceans. Fish.

Talking-talking or just commentary? If the former, could you give an example?

Ido:

"they've SEALED OFF THE CITY."

Hugo literally could've sat waiting to be killed by Centurions or try his luck scaling to Zalem...which I guess would've just ejected him or killed him on arrival, even if he had made it, but he had nothing to lose at that point and was reasoning that he wanted to at least try and see it before being killed, so he can see his dream, his version of heaven, catch a glimpse of it before death, because he had nothing to lose at that point.

It's the same in the movie. They would have killed him if he tried to exit Iron City and every hunter-warrior and centurion would be looking for him if he tried to stay in the city.

The movie establishes people work in the farms outside the city. Which means people know how to farm. Thus, the line is defacto established as people clocking off work.

>was ruined wasteland where nothing could grow
Um no it wasn't. There was a panel showing farm land outside the city, you fucker.

Are people allowed to go off the reservation and start their own farms in the jungle? If The Factory owns all the land, they wouldn't be allowed.

(The most common type of tropic rain forest soil is typically not rich in nutrients by the way, it tends to have most of its biomass bound in the vegetation.)

Nah, that’s just headcanon. Establishing people work in the farms outside the city means everyone is free to come and go.

Not necessarily, maybe workers have to apply for a special passport or something. Maybe they have to be escorted by someone working for the Factory or maybe there's surveillance.

There's clearly some kind of checkpoint and it's not as simple as an open gate based on the fact that there's a line of people waiting to get in.

There's basically nowhere to go though. The only place that isn't worse than Iron City is Zalem. If he goes off by himself he'd basically be living like a neanderthal.

This is undermined pretty thoroughly by a bunch of poor, unemployed street rats taking their hippie van on a road trip to show the MC her crashed ship.

The whole movie was set up so that the lore gets introduced to you. I can only imagine that fat lard was shitting out his intestines from too much popcorn and soda in the restroom for the first hour of the movie or something.

Alita is older than Ido

EXAXCTLY. So long as it aligns with the establishment's (Disney's) interests (smearing the competition).

Poor, unemployed street rats who work for Vector, mind you.

And what do they know about setting up a homestead in the wilderness without getting detected by Zalem or starving to death?

Hold on one second, Alita. Let me check that bread and money pile. Just look away when I pull that bread off. Please don't ask any questions.

Alita should be like 250 year older than Ido

This is the one that pisses me off. Apparently all females have to "strong, emotionless husks". Fuck off, Alita being human was a crucial part of a character. Her drive and what she fights for is because she can feel, and isn't just a killing machine. Retarded cunt who wrote that.

Man we showed up the theater 15 minutes late and even then the story was easily followed

>"While the film has the mainstream appeal of being an exciting adventure to watch, Alita is ultimately a story about self-discovery and that’s what makes the film stand out among the numerous action-packed blockbusters we get every year. Alita’s journey to self-discovery goes beyond her own experiences. While watching the movie, I was struck with a sudden déjà vu: I had felt this way before. Years ago when I was sixteen, I watched Sucker Punch—another film that I saw just on pure excitement based on the trailers—and I instantly knew there was a reason why I connected with Alita. This movie spoke to me on another level like Sucker Punch did, films that anyone can enjoy but with a message to women about the power that they hold. We’re allowed to make mistakes, allowed to doubt ourselves, allowed to be close with others whether that be through friendships or romantic relationships, and despite the traumas we may experience, we’re not defined by them. We’re defined by who we choose to be. That’s the power that the girls in Sucker Punch have, that’s the power that Alita has. A personal message hidden in plain sight of a visual spectacle of a film, a message that everyone may not pick up on but it’s there. There’s a brilliance to choosing this kind of emotionally-driven approach when it comes to blockbusters, it surprises you because it’s unexpected. It’s hidden in the films that you wouldn’t think would care to include, but that’s what makes them special. Alita: Battle Angel is special; years from now the film will be revisited and these themes of humanity and self-discovery will become obvious, but for some of us, it’s clear right now."

didn't go in depth but if her twitter is anything to go by superhero shit isn't really her bag

It's the last of the sky cities and people from all over the world came there after The Fall, and work for the Factory. Ido says it explicitly.

There is work there, and people can thus get things that they need. There are no utilities outside. Could people still be living in other settlements somewhere else in the world? Obivously, yes, because why else are there active defenses, artillery and armed checkpoints to get in?

Now, I agree that audiences should not do the writers' writing for them, but here they doing some extremely explicit world-building. Living in Iron City is better than living elsewhere (showed by people coming to Iron City), nobody lives in the outskirts of the city (showed by wide shots of no settlements, and by dialogue), and Iron City is shown to be abundant in goods, but also abundant in crime, and Zalem is shown to be a presumed better place to live (shown by looking more modern, and pretty much everyone except Ido and Vector wanting to go there - even Tanij and Alita wants to go there).

From there itâ(TM)s a Blade-running ultra kung fu (Matrix, Equilibrium) from the bounty hunters using spiral razor-edged snaking death wires (Matrix Revolution; Spiderman) or spinning razor discs upgraded from the Running Man. Even the K9 dogs are revived from Avatar (which is not surprising given the involvement of James Cameron). This all culminates in a Gladiator meetsTransformers-with-attitudes-on-steroids playing Rollerball under the control of a cool version of Morpheus. Are there any sci-fi films that werenâ(TM)t plundered for ideas? Even the scene taking a tour outside the city is straight out of Loganâ(TM)s Run. James Cameronâ(TM)s Avatar was innovative in the way that Alita - Battle Queen just isnâ(TM)t.

I don't think these are all bots, i think some might just be from 3rd world shit holes.

But user it did have an ending. Just because there's sequel potential doesn't mean that the film didn't have its own arc.

i should have known

It didn’t have an ending because the movie establishes killing vector is entirely pointless and accomplishes nothing.

REVENGE sort of

And where else can they go? They're in the middle of fucking nowhere. The place might be shit, but it's the only thing they have.

The ending was Alitas journey growing up emotionally- learning about loss and love. The vector sub plot was just a means to that end.

Don't misunderstand, I love the movie, im just posting 1/2 Star reviews off RT because i honestly have nothing better to do.

They’re in the middle of fertile land with two oceans a short distance away and access to all sorts of ridiculous technology.

You underestimate how important consistency is to people. Not everyone can trailblaze- that's one of the flaws the film gives Hugo. We know Alita can but hi realises it too late

They can try, probably wouldn't get very far. I mean, hell, who's to say that there wasn't people who tried? However, most people are probably content with something, even if it's shit.
This.

She says it explicitly. It's dumb, but that is how she is, and it comes back to haunt her. This is characterization and character development right here.
Alexander the Great is a typical example of this, except on the level of whole nations and armies. The way Alita does it is more like an animal.

She doesn’t explicitly state any of your headcanon, my psychosis addled friend.

For what's it's worth, the novelization (which I'm making a big leap here in assuming it's based on the script and Cameron's notes) says that beyond the farmland most of the area is contaminated by biological warfare and is basically uninhabited. The people who do live there are said to be mutated or otherwise fucked up and nature is reclaiming everything. The Factory also periodically sends survey teams out to test the level of contamination in the soil and water.

They watched “Alita: Battle Angel.” The movie about a multicultural band of scavengers encountering a 312 year old amnesiac Martian and watching the Martian learn how to be a real girl!

It would be better than iron city, according to the writing.

>headcanon
Weird synonym for the script, user. Maybe you should have paid attention to the dialogue.

Nothing in is in the script.

The novelization isn’t based on anything. It’s basically a guy looking at the movie and filling in blanks with his headcanon.

Thanks. I'll have it ready for next thread.

Be polite and act like you love the movie. Don't be pushy. Movie theater employees who are passionate about movies themselves will go above and beyond to get you a poster. In two separate occasions, I got to meet them outside of their work hours and they brought as many posters as they could get their hands on. They broke policy and spent their own time but I didn't even ask them to do that. They just did it cause they were happy someone liked movies like they did. One of them had a BR2049 nametag so he might even be lurking here.

What about Ido’s Journal?

Finally, I get to post in celebration of this. The many times I went to see Alita totally worth it. My car was in the shop last Saturday, so after a day stuck at home I ordered a ticket and jogged the mile to the closest kinema to watch Alita again and help push it over the 400. Totally worth it. Thank you Alita, for showing me how to be a real human bean. Cheers.
Pic is the cat named Alita, an abandoned newborn I found under my motorcycle cover in the parking lot when I was going to see Alita one evening. Would have missed her if I hadnt been going to see the movie, took her with me to the movies and left her in my car after feeding her cat milk from the store. Took her to the cat shelter the next day.

maybe the real sex was the friends we made along the way

Literally none of that has anything to do with .

That was my first impression too, but there's at least one scene described in detail (Hugo teaching Alita how to play motorball with wheeled feet and the sparring to spark her memory) that we know was actually filmed but cut at some point. So it's unclear just how much it pulled from the actual script.

I don't even know how this is a debate. Iron City is the best place to live and nobody from there would have any reason to leave.

Rome wasn't built in a day, user. You realize how much effort and time it will take to create an entirely new society, right? Most people will not put up with that shit, and would rather live with what their used to despite the fact that it's not the best.

>manga Alita is named after a black cat

Rome didn’t have a mountain of discarded super-tech.

Thanks user I’ll give it a shot

Hugo has no idea how to farm or hunt or fish. I'm sure he doesn't know how to swim or build a decent boat. Most plants that we eat have been cultivated for hundreds of years to be more nutritious, wild ones won't necessarily be enough even if he knew what is edible and what isn't.

Literally all of that is easier to learn than cybersurgery.

POTTERY

The character is telling the audience and the other characters exactly what she's doing. First she appeals to their morality, and when that doesn't work she moves on to feats of strength to gain dominance. It's a painfully obvious culture clash and fish-out-of-water scene. She even moves on to quote some line from her past life and paint her face. I don't know how much more explicit this script needs to get before auntie Alita has to sit down like Atlanna in Aquaman and explain the plot.

>Rome didn’t have a mountain of discarded super-tech.
wut

But he'll get to pound Alita's cyborg pussy. You'll be amazed on how women make men change their priorities. To be fair, it's not always a good thing.

Attached: 1552425136138.png (1280x538, 1.38M)

The headcanon is the idea the amnesiac remembers her culture.

>Didn't even watch the movie.
The more stressful the situation the more she remembers.

Are we forgetting the movie is set next to a mountain of discarded hyper advanced technology?

And we are not shown she remembers anything in that scene. She’s just there, acting completely unstressed.

How could he? Hugo's robo-body doesn't have a dick.

No, but Rome's dominance came from it's strategic location and technology it had from the cultures it assimilated.
So... I mean... wut?

So can Alitas species feel sex like us?

>the ones before mean nothing now
lool k last (You) fish harder

300

Are you forgetting the CITY IS SEALED OFF and EVERY CENTURION AND HUNTER-WARRIOR IN TOWN is out for Hugo's head?????

How can he live out in the wild if he can't even reach it? He had no where to go but up. Alita saying they could run away was wishful thinking.

So you’re just gibbering about things that have nothing to do with why people don’t just leave iron city. That’s cool.

Why would they? Best chance of survival.

The audience is shown what she remembers and when. But feel free to shut down when you can’t defend your headcanon.

I remember, can you track down who has her now?

For everyone who doesn't have bounty on his head (most people), life is better in Iron City than anywhere else in the world except for Zalem. Period. Full stop. The end.

See

I'm pretty sure he has one. Zapan got a human girlfriend in the manga, and there are plenty of cybrog with only a human head. I'm pretty sure most full body cyborg got cyborg penis/vagina, otherwise turning cyborg would be much bigger a deal.

her Berzerker body got a vagina.

B-but Captain Marvel did 800 million.

>still no cap marv general
Wonder why?

This is a movie where people use scavenged hyper-tech in what is essentially a demolition derby instead of, say, getting out of what the script is desperate to establish is not a place people want to be.

It would be like niggers in africa building a bloodsport with donated well components.

What the fuck are you talking about? Before Alita came along, all his dream was (like many people in Iron City) was to go to Zalem. How would fucking off away from Iron City help him in reaching that goal?

I didn’t see anything during the contortionist scene though

As bad as Iron City is the outside is worse. Full scale war and surgical conscription. Have fun "going your own way" shitposter.

Because of movie rating, here is the novelisation.

projecting yourself onto characters is the fundamental aspect of storytelling, brainlet

because nobody here actually likes it
all the positive threads about CM are ironic memery mainly for baiting purposes

I'm not ruling it out, but it's yet unconfirmed if Alita has genitalia in a berserker body. Why would special advanced war machine bodies need genitalia? Sex would just be a distraction.

Sex would be therapy to ward off PTSD.

Because most human would want to have usable genital on their cyborg body.

The debate is how there is no real justification for wanting Salem, because of the access to technology and the freedom to leave at any time.

This writing is actually atrocious. Not the dialogue and plot points, just the style itself.

Also, that still doesn't confirm anything. That could be either Alita being naïve and not knowing fully what sex is, or lying.

You absolute brainlet - you thought the video flashbacks is the only thing about her that has permanence? Need we remind you that she has kept:
- How to speak
- Panzer Kunst
- The draw to conflict
- War paint
- "I do not stand by in the presence of evil."
- The name Nova
- Her personality (at least aspects of it)
and so on, and so on, before we ever see them in flashbacks. She's no blank slate vegetable. She's a person with a personality who has lost her memories.

Shit you’re right
And she knew where Hugo lived in the scene where she offers him her heart
They probably had sex
Doesn’t make sense though, how does her species reproduce? And why would she have sex when she’s a combat cyorg?

Zalem is the Hamptons. Zalem is the greatest most luxurious place on Earth where there's no crime or poverty. It's a pleasure utopia. Is this really a question?

All of that, except for speaking, was shown/heard in the flashbacks. The personality bit is pure headcanon, of course.

she was doing panzer kunst before any flashback

>how does her species reproduce?
Are you stupid? She's human that only has a brain left. She's human.

She's a soldier, I think she's old enough to know what sex is.

She gained more information than just from flashbacks. Some of it was driven into her being on an instinctual level, as Ido pointed out in-movie.

New thread so i can post my song. NOW

Muscle memory, user. This is all true to real life. People who have severe amnesia can still remember shit like how to play the piano and how to speak in multiple languages.

A bloody mouth and missing teeth.

Chicago if it was in Texas.

But it wasn't in a flashback, so the Panzer Kunst came from the body that Ido made for her daughter. Anything else is headcanon.

It’s pretty hard to argue anything she did in the movie was panzer kunst.
