If you want, I will be gay for you Alita. Just let me be with you, hug you ...
This Saturday
Will see what happens
Gay for Alita
I went in Austin
yes I won
not really
I know a cafe and a bar I would recommend. Or maybe just a rooftop or two? They're all ideas which were fun to explore in their own way.
Please don't turn /alita/ threads gay.
I don't lewd her. I don't want your tranny/faggot ass, either.
I went. I won. Not gay. I'm now a robosexual.
I'm a third-worlder, so no.
Win what?
I would fuck Zapan brains out tbqh
Nice to meet you, I am a cyborgsexual and I love Alita. What robot are you in love with?
All the romantic spots around my city that I showed my ex
>Listening to the ost while I work on my script
Based.
Hoping to go on Saturday in Los Angeles... gonna spend way more then i should of all that sweet Alita merch
Sounds cute, user. What kinda cafe?
And you'd make new memories, with Alita. She'd drive away the painful thoughts, leaving you /healed/. Where would you take her first?
>not going Friday instead with the group of anons from this thread
Just a little hole in the wall place called The Aviary.
wait fuck... what time??
6pm on Friday. Be there or be squared.
We're going at six PM. So far it's a girl and two manlets with bad fashion sense.
This is gonna be SO GOOD
This little park beside the beach that no one knows about. We used to love driving around that place in my little convertible in the middle of the night. There isn't a single soul a mile around even though it's in the middle of the city.
9:37 morning.
In another part of the Earth.
Make that THREE manlets with bad fashion sense amirite???
Oh hey, down by Torrey Pines? I actually met up with an user there a couple months ago.
Oh boy. I hope I'm not taller than all you.
i'm considering it... just gotta check bus schedules
Excellent edit
They killed off my botfu on STD. Alita is my only hope.
Close. Good to see another namefag that knows San Diego. Also what we lack in height we make up for in autism.
Sure thing, fren. The offer still stands.

>E;R shits on Captain Marvel while praising Alita
I can get behind this
why do we need a general for this movie? i've literally never heard of this "alita" shit until a couple weeks ago when this movie dropped. what the FUCK is this gay shit
take this queer shit to or whatever trash board it belongs in, niggerfaggot
>Jarvis
>Yes, Mr. Stark?
>Initiate the cozy protocol
>Right away, sir.
Feel free to keep bumping it fren
I fell in love with just robots in general. I'd never seen any depicted quite this way before. After a decade of Transformers that looked like hyperkinetic assemblages of crinkled tinfoil, you really appreciate aesthetically pleasing designs.
I don't think you belong here. You are not a part of our culture, so kindly go hang out with others of your own kind.
>ywn lie down in a field of grass with Alita at night
>ywn stargaze with Alita

I'm fucking taking the Alita stargazing idea thank you user.
nah kys weeb, and take your gay shit with you thanks
its time
youtube.com
god damn can you stop stealing my greentexts
I'm bi and fap to gay shit and traps occasionally but what does that have to do with Alita?
We just take them because we like them, user~
No.
why is kishiro so fucking weird
Wasted trips on an off topic shitpost.
I-im too embarrassed to meet anyone from here...
How do you want to build a fort of pillows with Alit, and sit in it all day.
>MUH mary SUES
People used to bitch about him not really understanding that term or using it for clickbait, and after he started using it to describe Alita, I can see why. Also he doesn't seem to understand that Battle Angel is the first movie, so of course there will be mysteries not explained; also that several questions he had are either going to be answered in a sequel or were explained in the movie.
Can't believe you people are still circle jerking about this flopped movie.
I thought it was gonna die out after captain marvel went away and you incels lost your enemy, but damn
Welcome to the club.
Imagine being 10 years old and having a play date with Alita.
>user noooo! You'll knock down the fort!
>Here, you can come in through the secret passage
>Did you bring the chocolate?
>The queen of this fort demands tribute
Someone requested Nissiana's lines. I don't think I did very well, but it didn't take long and I'm working on something else anyway.
vocaroo.com
C'mon guys, I don't bite! We'd love to have you there.
Also, extremely cute greentext.
im ugly on the inside
When I was 10 years old, I lived with my little sister, but I didn’t play with her or build a pillow fort, I hated her. Now we have grown, and she hates me too. And I can not change my past.
And if I now offer my sister to build a pillow fort or play together, she will say that I am a sick pervert.
Could be worse. My older brother beat me.
How can you love your waifu if you can't even love her poop?
hey quick question what the fuck
Aviary--as in SGF Missouri?
Any news my dudes? When's blue Rei coming out?
If you can't get a hardon without smelling shit, you might have the gay, user.

YAMERO
just watched this
fuck this movie and fuck this general, you people really have shit taste
Cynical schoolchildren woke up.
Has Captain Marvel already set 5 stars?
this goes into the same category, don't pretend you are any better
I'm better.
I am higher.
I am more intelligent.
I am an aristocrat of the spirit.
I will inherit the future.
I am not afraid to admit Alita’s absolute superiority over everything.
I would die of cringe and anxiety if i go to the iron city thing. I can't even participate in any of the disney world interactive shows. If i had run into jenny nicholson like that fat dude on youtube i would drown myself in the bathroom sink..
>it's a girl and two manlets with bad fashion sense
Ages?
Honestly I just liked the bird themes but I'm not surprised there's a real place called it.
OH NO NO NO NO NONONONO!
Damn, it's up to 58? Wasn't it like twenty something a ways back?
before they deleted 150,000 reviews
And turned off the ability to put a rating below 3.5 for two weeks.
They deleted a whole bunch (on the scale of tens of thousands) of negative reviews under the pretense that they were made by a russian troll farm trying to destabilize America.
But now that Captain Fungus has been in theaters for a while they dont seem to be tampering with the reviews as much, so the user score drifts towards its true level.
Bout time James goes full sick mode.
>cm has roughly 3 times the user reviews of alita
>cm has roughly 3 times the box office of alita
These numbers seem weirdly legit
So this is that guy who keeps dropping subtle and not-so-subtle antisemitism in his videos. I watched his video about The Force Awakens, and in that video it didn't seem out of context since the movie is about Space Nazis. Didn't think anything of it - he's making fun of space nazis and space jews, edgy but OK. But woo-boy that Steven Universe video of his read like straight-up Stormfront material. I can see how Pewdiepie failed to pick up on the more subtle stuff, but that SU stuff- wow.
>Ratings
So? What's the issue?
He is 100% on Korra and that other animated shit
See you guys there
I’m Rosa sized and I’ll be wearing shoes that stand out
Made /ourgirl/ a bit less green
>But woo-boy that Steven Universe video of his read like straight-up Stormfront material
Fucken based
Don't get me wrong, he has talent and he's right about some things - except he has misunderstood what a Mary Sue is - but I can't share his videos with anyone. It plays into the whole "oh, you don't like [latest Disney movie] so that means you're a literal nazi".
Just to be sure, because you never know with the Alita fanbase (and to break the ice)
Any more hints to recognize you guys?
ALITA LOVES COCK! COCK!!
Guys, I've literally been working on this for hours now and it's not even coming out good.
I'll probably be in a green jacket with a red top, and some combat boots.
That’s much better, because usually in LA everyone has interesting fashion styles
I’ll be wearing shoes that stand out and a hat
Cool. Look for a little yellow pin of a lemon boy, too.
>oh, you don't like [latest Disney movie] so that means you're a literal nazi
If these are your "friends" then clearly you need new ones
Nice!
If you anons still can’t find me, I’ll have music on. Puts me ease when I’m nervous, but I’m pretty sure the shoes are 100% are dead giveaway
See you there!
My friends don't think that, but I'm not going to be sharing edgy Nazi content with them either.
DO IT
FINALLY done. I know, it's no good...I tried my best, but they can't all be home runs. concrit would be great.

See ya there, user!
No, thank you.
>No, thank you
Give me one reason why a good old fashioned consenting airtight gangbang between anons that don't know each other is bad
No
A talented mechanic loses a family member and compensates by fixing up a piece of junk found in a scrapyard that nobody else sees much value in.
The piece of junk turns out to be a fighting machine from an alien planet.
The lead girl gets challenged to do a dangerous dive, but she fails and gets embarrassed in front of her peers.
After she's learned some lessons about life, she is finally able to pull off the dive and save someone she cares about in the process.
Jorge Lendeborg Jr.'s character loses his top towards the end.
China loves the movie.
What movie am I describing?
I don't consent, i'm not big on hooking up with randos.
You autists need to have sex.
A gangbang is just a bunch of men having sex together. That there's a woman present doesn't make it noticeably less gay. At least that's how I feel about it.
>Crowd audio too loud in mixer

Mood killer
>i'm not big on hooking up with randos
But you are literally hooking up with randos
Why not go for a few drinks later, rent a room, take precautions and just go the full distance
It's Yea Forums tradition, every meat up has a gangbang
You can't break the tradition, not at least without seriously considering it first
Holy shit, we did it lads.
Remixing and reuploading, one sec.
I'm meeting up with them. There's a big difference between

and

You need to quit watching porn user
Besides, I recently broke up so I’m not into that rn

Sounds like Bumblebee.
Correct, and also Alita: Battle Angel.
well except for the whole middle part.
>diving into the underworld and losing against Grewishka
>diving over the defense ring
Yeah I was reaching a bit with those two.
You mean any rating for illegal persons. I can't vote on it at all, but can do it for any other movie.
Why would anyone go to a Yea Forums meetup?
I'd never want to meet another user from this site. The cringe is guaranteed to exceed all expectation.
This one reminds me more of a waterbender than of Alita - I wonder if it's "inspired by" some other picture.
Depends which board. I'd never go to a /pol/ meetup, but I wouldn't hesitate to go play some board games with some /tg/ people.
Norwegian fans managed to request it back in 3D, but the Fox-run Alita site doesn't list all the showtimes in all the towns. Protip for Eurofags is to check their local ticket sites because those tend to be more updated than the Fox site.
What fox site?
Any Swiss anons here? I don't think Alita has been released there yet. There haven't been any showings from december to march according to BOM.
I didn't mind the movie.. but fuck how can you brainlets have a literal general for this shit? What is there to discuss? How much you sad faggots wanna fuck her? Lmao
I was the one who suggested the market idea and it came out even better than I had hoped. My favorite one yet, great work!
The Hitler speech was top tier irony, it absolutely shat on SU community equating them to Nazis for how closed their are on other views and how much they hate those who dare to differ from their ideals at least a little bit
And the side note about the origins of the concept of gender provides a challenging point of view, contrasting with the "we the good guys please watch our show" narrative of the SU makers
Shame people don't see any of it and just go "hurr nazi polfag"
I don't even wanna do the naughty stuff with Alita. I just want to cuddle.
NO BREAKY EVEN?
NO MAKEY SEQUEL
AlitaTickets.com and whatever translated local variants they have. I checked here, and it doesn't list all the showtimes, which suggests they don't have a feed to the ticket aggregators but are manually entering into a calendar. Not going to suggest a Disney conspiracy here yet, but it's certainly not effective to have their advertising pointing to an inaccurate website.
>general
kill yourself
I'm sorry you didn't like it
I find out if I am on the international team tonight. I found an Alita can the day before competition and took it as a sign. I have been /healed/
What did you dislike, if you don't mind elaborating?
sequel's coming home lads
Just about to go see Alita in the movies for the first time here goes nothing.
have fun
Be sure to come back and insult us dude
ok, since no one else is going to say it:
Sneed!
I didn't like that thing of "they killed my daughter so I became a hunter warrior"
You know, in the original, Ido just wants a little girl with him to play. I know this sound too creepy and that's maybe the reason why they did what they did in the movie. But... supposedly Ido IS a dark soul. However Waltz did a perfect job.
Tell us about the experience. Is it mainly young girls and boomer guys in the audiences? Had some septigenerians here.
Reminder that old and young, success or failure, we're all in this together.
Got the whole ( small) theater to myself, very comf.
It's only 12:15 so quite early and this cinema is still screening alita three times a day for quite a while, so doesn't surprise me that I'm the only one in this early screening.
Buckle up, user
Nice

Shouldn't there be a small army of mouse shillposters up in here stirring up shit by now? It's 7 AM mountain time, the US is waking up...
They stopped caring after CM launched and we didn't give them the time of day
>Alita was actually fucking good
What the fuck? I can't believe I actually fell for and care for what happens to Alita in the movie. How? Sequel fucking when?
Glad you liked Alita’s movie!
Status: flipped
Sequel: whenever
She's a cutie too.
Better hope they cleared that with Disney's general counsel first. Would be very unfortunate if some recently laid-off employees squealed to the SEC or some lawfirm representing Fox shareholders for the massive bounty.
Now you know why we had over 200 generals for it. We genuinely love it. Check out the fan content if you haven't already. Here's my contribution:
pastebin.com
Welcome to the party, pal
You mean all the white males Disney is about to drop? They have no power, they aren't genderfluid enough.
Plenty of out-of-work lawyers out there, and the SEC would love a high profile target like Disney - so I think it's going to happen if there was any "non-standard" business practices taking place. Perhaps Disney could claim that shilling against Alita was just normal business practice.
That's really good. Your mixing is getting way better. Market date is CUTE and I've lost the story chance for it but I'm not even mad.
>F L I P P E D
More kissing in the next one pls
Do you have the same acc on twitter? I've seen Doc Ido posting Alita stuff.
Are you suggesting LEWD? Maybe I write a non-pg13 story for you people some time but keep it separate from the wholesome timeline.
Best disarm in the movie?
I'd have say Zapan in the bar fight. But I also like that she ripped off Gangsta's arm and used it to stab the flail guy. You could say Gangsta lent her a hand.
the thought of hardcore lewd is scary, just some passionate kissing would be fine
Is this Meetup at NYC?
NO.
Do it. I want those robo-titties unleashed.
It's not so much a meetup as some people attending the Alita Experience at the same time, as far as I understood it.
That seems much more reasonable. I think I have a plan for you.
Maybe in tandem with the Blu ray release but don't hold me to that.
That wasn't Gangsta, it was some white dude with rocket launcher hand.
It's ok user, if Writefag won't do it, I might take it upon myself to do it. If there is demand.
Im about to go full 451 on your ass
Tell me about that Alita Experience, how much does it cost?
$10 with discount code JAMESCAMERON
I'm pretty sure it was Gangsta. The Podrace-gun-arm guy didn't have wheels on his arm, but Gangsta does. (Looking at the trailer here.)
I thought it was the rocket launcher guy too, but I just checked the rip and it was Gangsta.
Gangsta never gets to do anything, really. And the Wingmen get too focused on being the one to take out Alita. If they had teamed up against Alita they might have stood more of a chance.

good morning anons. going to see Alita for the third time today probably. wish i was still in LA, would've met up for the experience
haven't seen this before, ty
This is great, but there's no way I'd forget even a single detail about the occasion if it'd happened to me
Look, I love Alita amd love hanging out in these threads, but what's the point lf writing and reading fanfiction? They're all dreadfully uncreative, not canon, and dont really contribute anything to discussion of the film. It just seems kinda autistic.
I feel somewhat the same about fanart to a lesser extent, but at least visual artists posess some talent.
>yfw sequel confirmed as an animated netflix original.
desu I just ignore the fanfiction posts, not my thing. On the other hand I enjoy the fan arts.

I cringe just at the idea of reading them
Please don't even joke about that user.
>1.6 uses of "fag" per sentence
Not bad, but you can do more
Faggots are the dragons you must slay!
AGAIN!
For the longest time I thought like this, then Alita came along and tore away a decade-old emotional shell. Reading, writing, and listening to this stuff engages me in a strange new way and I find it all very cathartic and fulfilling. It's made me more productive and even given me the courage to start writing a novel my self-doubt had been blocking for years.
If all that makes me the big gay then so be it. I'm good, boss.
Well I've seen the ching Chong camrip, but I've just seen Alita in the cinema for the first time. And I wish I had seen it earlier so I could of watched it over and over.
>mfw I was a dumbass.
This guy gets it
I told you fag
Lol fag. Needs a animu waifu to open a word document.
Jk bro, glad youre healed
Hope you're transition goes well
Time to go BANGING AND CLANGING brother, Who's with me dude?
>saw this movie on a whim since I had already seen everything else
>dialogue is very cringy at times
>action is good, like really good, some of the best action I've seen in years
>overall movie goes by very quickly for the two hour run time, when it was over I thought we had another hour to go, not fully sure if this is a good or bad thing
>movie ends right when shit was seemingly about to get good
>leave the theater conflicted because on one hand I wanted more but on the other hand felt cheated because the movie couldn't tell a complete story without banking so hard on a sequel
I mean I get why you guys keep making these threads now, you all want part 2, but part of me takes a step back and says fuck them for making me want a part 2 so badly instead of just resolving the main conflict in this one. Star Wars would still have been great without Empire Strikes Back because It tells a complete story, Vader is shot down and the Death Star is destroyed, main conflict resolved, nearly perfect movie complete. This one though you can't help but feel blue balled by that ending, it's so abrupt.
Explain to me how they could've resolved the "main conflict" as you call it in this movie. I assume you don't know where the story is going from here but go ahead, let's hear your ideas.
Nice honest opinion user.
I think i would have felt this way if i didn't love the manga before this movie was made
Should have listened to us here, user.
Come on, don't get this defensive, he liked the movie, some people can handle open endings (I'm ok with them because history is never over) others want a permanent ending and everything resolved
The important thing is he enjoyed it
It was at the two hour mark at the end, user. There's much additional shit they'd have to do to address Nova.
By making it the same length as Avatar, which was the plan up through about 2014.
>defensive
I'm asking a sincere question. Is discussion not allowed here?? I want to hear his ideas.
Just a thought after watching Alita, why didn't she just grab Hugo's torso with her legs. Like bruh shit would of been so easy and I'm sure she could of panzer kunst her way out like that.
She was hysterical.
Idk, i felt like it was a lot like a new hope where the conflict in focus was resolved (her finding out who she is, her goal, and her enemies at the time being vanquished). In new hope vader survives and theres still the emperor and whole empire to still deal with. Its definetely more of an open ended story in Alita, but with all the material that cameron wants to "faithfully" adapt the manga, i felt it was the right decision to get people on board for a sequel.
That about as good as my chances to travel to US. Have hope.
the blu-ray will have an extended version with never-before-seen footage.
Deleted scenes in a CGI heavy movie? Unlikely
I hope only for an interesting commentary track by Cameron, Rodriguez and Salazar
sauce, frogposter
sauce?
Rodriguez does amazing commentary for every single one of his movies. He usually does something fun while doing it, like cooking.
I'm going to fall asleep to the commentary every night when the bluray releases.
Ill get the 4K version even if I dont have a 4K tv yet
Power of LOVE
sorry boys, no source, Avatar had an Extended Edition so i'm assuming this will as well
I'm thinking this too
Ideally I would a 3D Blu-Ray + Blu-Ray + 4K combo but that's going to be 80€ and I'm poor and unemployed and I failed the last job interviews and I'm not feeling so well ;_;
>In new hope vader survives and theres still the emperor and whole empire to still deal with.
That's not the main conflict, the empire built a death star and is blowing up planets by the end of the movie they've resolved that conflict. They didn't introduce the emperor yet that comes in the sequel, as does the revelation that Vader survived, where they do set up a larger conflict, because Star Wars stands on it's own without it's sequels. Even without a "Star Wars 2" Star Wars would feel like a complete movie.
This movie sets up this guy who is controlling people from the shadows (well really the floating city) and is effectively enslaving everyone in the city below, by the end of the movie nothing has been resolved she killed one pawn of dozens. It'd be like if Star Wars ends not no the destruction of the Death Star but with Luke just recusing the princess and shooting a few storm troopers on the way out and just leaving that up in the air. It'd be blatant sequel bait and it ruins movies that would otherwise be good.
I've read the manga 15 years ago, and since Cameron announced the live action adaption, I ve been thinking occasionally about how to adapt it.
The thing is, there is no real solution, the story is just to big. Either rape the original story just to create some conclusion to the first act or stay faithful to the original.
Nobody complained about a lacking conclusion of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, so IMHO nobody should do the same thing to Alita.
I wouldn't be surprised if scenes were forcibly cut for a shorter run time. Hoping for an extended edition
Oy vey, Martians never forget! 500,000 of the chosen were killed by big eye bazerkers such as yourself. Why, (((Jeru Zalam))) has had to survive on nothing but factories and Farms just to keep the city a float.
Fucking stomped.
Key difference there was Lord of the Rings were all shot at once, they didn't leave it up in the air if there was even going to be a Two Towers or Return of the King those were coming regardless of how Fellowship did. Lord of the Rings is essentially one 9-hour movie that was cut into parts.
This, Fellowship of the Ring is also fucking ruined by the pointless sequel baiting.
You misinterpreted what i said and i do not feel like having an argument, so have a nice day.
>Aw don-don't do this! Please, don't do this! Aw, don't do it! Alita, don't do it! Don't do it, think of Ido, think of your fans, think of everybody! No! NO! NO! GOD! GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY! GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY! THAT KILLED HER! AS GOD AS MY WITNESS, SHE IS BROKEN APART!
This is one of those times I wish I could video edit.
>You misinterpreted
No, you just didn't know what were talking about.
>Lord of the Rings were all shot at once
Source?
If the first flopped they wouldn't film the rest
the story of this movie is primarily about her self-development, really realizing that she's a warrior weapon. the external conflict is a secondary struggle. that's what i took from it
This site is a fucking joke
the OVA remastered
wtf

>Principal photography for The Lord of the Rings film trilogy was conducted concurrently in New Zealand for 438 days from October 11, 1999 through to December 22, 2000
The filmed the entire trilogy, excluding pick-ups, nearly an entire year before the first one came out. If the first one flopped newline was still doing the next two.
Irrelevant. Alita too was conceptualized as series right from the beginning by Jimbo.
My point is that you don't criticize a movie because its the first part of a multi-movie franchise.
When real numbers come in this happens, some estimates where higher than actual.
Hey I just woke up how is everybody doing
>Irrelevant.
Not really, but if you want to explain how it isn't go ahead.
>Alita too was conceptualized as series
It wasn't shot as one, they put the first one out alone as a test, but the first one doesn't stand alone which is a major flaw.
>My point is
You don't have one.
I'm thinking of civilizing myself by reading Ring of Nibelung.
Best comment right here
Good morning. I'm doing great. Currently making dinner and will be hitting the gym later for Alita.
I've always been curious about that partly because of Star Wars but it seems like it would be tough to get through.
they messed up with the international number, it says total as of the 26th, but it had a bigger number yesterday for the same date, the change is around 2 million
i have a sick chest pump desu
Alright. What i said was "i felt like it was a lot like a new hope where the conflict in focus was resolved." The conflicts being the death star and alita discovering who she is. Both are solved and then theres other shit to deal with later. But yes, Alita is way more sequel baited. Can we have a nice day now?
>"experts" on Yea Forums were saying it's going to easily break over 400mil 2 weeks ago
It's not breaking over 400mil, right?
That's why you read the comic book by P. Craig Russell
Yes
A couple of threads ago someone said the movie did pretty well in Japan, but do we know their actual thoughts about the movie?
beautiful day here. just won a 1-year contract to work in france making perfumes for givenchy. getting an espresso from my favorite cafe here in PHX then gonna see Alita for the 4th time. max coze. i wish everyone as beautiful a day as this
>implying japanese otakus even leave their basement to watch movies
It already did
No it didn't, numbers updated, under 400, see
>It wasn't shot as one
Yeah it wasn't, that doesn't mean that it wasn't conceptualized as more than one movie.
You make it sound like a series of movies has to be shot back to back which simply isn't true
> first one doesn't stand alone which is a major flaw.
First movie in a series of movies seldom stands alone especially not when its a big epic story like Alita or Lords of the Rings.
Its only a major flaw if you insist it has to be a standalone, which is a misconception on your part.
It already did though... there were caps from that site showing this last week, plus this article
It's cool how many of us are working out more because of Alita. My uncle lives a few minutes away and he has a home gym so I might start back up. I always feel awkward at the gym if I'm by myself even though I know nobody cares.
What are you making?
The ending was perfect. We've seen Alita grow from curious newborn who can barely stand into a warrior with an unbreakable spirit, demonstrating profound resolution in her darkest moment. It's the story of her growth as a human; everything else is secondary.
Yeah wtf
Training back and alitaposting brother
I said the other day I was going to start lifting for Alita and I wasn't joking. My weight loss is starting to stall out and it's high time I kick things up a notch. Going to do some research today into a good beginner's program. Seriously considering printing that page out writ large and pinning it near my power rack.
Totally not bias

She couldn’t.
For that, she had to lift Hugo, AND SHE DID THAT, but her arm started getting ripped off
Based Chinks
>but her arm started getting ripped off
What?
Reminder: flopped, sequel never
*his
>You make it sound like a series of movies has to be shot back to back which simply isn't true
That is one way around it, but more pressingly you can also just construct a movie that stands on its own without sequels. Iron-Man works without Iron-Man 2 or the rest of the MCU, hell The Incredible Hulk is probably a better example because that one didn't get a sequel and plans for Ed Norton's hulk sequels were scrapped but the movie itself still works. Same goes for Star Wars, Lucas had a grand vision for a series of films, the studio only gave him one movie so he knew he had to change it to work on it's own.
>First movie in a series of movies seldom stands alone
Actually the opposite is true, look at all those trilogies and film franchises out there, the first one almost always stands on it's own. You can basically go through the whole list and nearly every successful franchise or film series started with a movie that works as a one off that then got sequels appended onto it. Lord of the Rings is a special case where it was shot more or less as one big movie, another example of this is Kill Bill but that was one movie cut into two parts. Then you can skirt around the problem of not resolving conflicts and leaving plot threads dangling because in those cases you should really look at the total work rather than the individual parts. When you do break them up that's you encounter people complaining about Return of the King's dozens of endings.
Am I being gaslit? Am I taking crazy pills? A few days ago the total was just over 400 million
>as does the revelation that Vader survived
That's not how I remember it - he flies out into space.
Even so, I'd compare the ending more with The Empire Strikes Back- they've resolved the immediate conflict, but Han Solo is frozen in carbonite and they're going to try to find him.
>esb > anh
Stopped reading right there pleb
We did it boys! We're back over 400m again!
OVER THE TOP!
I didn't make the cart, I mean I'm actually kinda surprised you've never seen it before and didn't already know that.
We've passed through the sexual mark two times so far, first in, then out, now we're getting ready to go in past it again.
Nice.
It's wrong and reddit
WOO!
Fake news
It's still under 400
>399,236,646
ALMOST THERE
new thread?
I've checked the numbers since the last month and it never happened that the numbers get lower, especially when last update was 2 days ago and it had over 400. How the fuck would such a small 2-day update reduce numbers?
Also, the film had a LARGER gross in the US than the estimates had. The estimates had the film grossing around 750,000-800,000 yet the real numbers were 1,081,328
>750,000 is almost there
It's over
they removed a total of 1 117 950 from the international number
Wow way to go user, that's a big deal. Is it in Paris? I've been there and it's a beautiful city for the most part except the subways smell like piss.
It's Thursday. Time to take the box office below sexual mark and dip the RT score to rotten in preparation for the weekend!
International numbers were mostly estimates, some of those just got updated as lower than originally thought.
This and unfortunately this is the end
It's more than one month now, there are hardly any theaters playing alita and earning even a 100 usd is pipedream now
making new thread
which one are you guys going to? L.A?
new
Post it
All of these trilogies are NOT adapted from one single epic story. Except Lord of the Rings. You can't compare them with Alita.
This is what you don't get.
There are only 2 ways to adapt Alita: create an standalone arc which means derivate far away from the original or stay with the original.
Jimbo choose the latter and thats what it is.
Criticising him for doing so is stupid IMHO.
