>Imagine being Hugo in that scene and having to be all like "damn, Alita, you fuckin' fine, all sexy with your mechanical body and horrific anime monster face. I would totally kiss you, both my character and the real me." when all he really wants to do is disassemble another 16 year old in his hideout. Like seriously imagine having to be Hugo and not only sit in that chair while Alita flaunts her disgusting nanotech body in front of you, the favorable lighting barely concealing her rusted joints and octopus lips, and just sit there, take after take, hour after hour, while she perfected her panzer kunst. Not only having to tolerate her monstrous fucking bug eyes but her smug attitude as everyone on set tells her she's STILL GOT IT and DAMN, CYBORGS LOOKS LIKE THAT?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and watch her mannish fucking anime face contort into types of grimaces you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been fucking nothing but a healthy diet of humans and sex robots and later alleged disassemble victims for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of the boonies in Iron City. You've never even seen anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the oil that's breaking out on her clockwork stomach as she sucks it in to writhe it suggestively at you, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get paid to sit there and revel in her "adorable (for that is what she calls herself)" beauty, the beauty she worked so hard for training with Gelda in Mars. And then the director calls for another take, and you know you could kill every single cyborg in this room before the factory security could put you down, but you sit there and endure, because you're fucking Hugo. You're not going to lose your future in Zalem over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.

Doll body IS sexy
Wyatt Stewart
If only manga-purist were here...
Serious questions: How does Alita's character and personality compare to the manga and OVA iterations, relative to what the movie has covered in terms of story thus far? So, assuming Gally was real, would she be satisfied with Jimbo, Rob Rod, Rosa & Company's depiction of her in the movie?
Matthew Gomez

I tell her "Outstanding" and that she's heavy
Adam Edwards
If brie was hanging off a cliff and those puppies were hanging off of a cliff and I only had time to save one of them I would save the puppies and then come back and stomp on her hands to ensure her death
Colton Collins
I think the design on the doll body was visually way more interesting than the berserker body.
Asher Parker
You can watch two of the OAVs on youtube
youtube.com
Isaiah Peterson
Of all the characters adapted from manga, Alita's character has been changed the least by far.
For every other character i can give explain how they are portrayed differently. Bit Alita herself? I just dunno, there is nothing specific that comes to mind, no traits that are ignored or hyperbolized, no notable differences in her demeanor or body language. They stayed very faithful to the manga in that regard.
Dominic Long
based homeless CM poster
Dylan Carter
Nice! Maybe I'll give the manga and OVA a shot, then.
Aaron Morris
Yoko actually
That's a bit of a moving target. Remember this is the beginning of her story. She has a puppy love stage in the manga, and takes Hugo's death HARD and dives into Motorball as a way to put it out of her mind. I think they did a good job translating this portion, even if they took shortcuts an alternate paths.
Oliver Moore
Rosa pretty much nailed it.
I think Jim/Robert/Rosa really understood the character and it shines through in a way you typically don't see in adaptations.
Anthony King
Ova is generally considered meh plot-wise, but there are many very good shots and (occasional) good animation. I think i've seen at least 3 "Old good, New bad" comparisons where it is used as an illustration for the former.
Jordan Butler
She is sweet and naive when she meets Hugo much like the movie. Even hides her power level in a fight to let him think he’s saving her. After he dies, and she goes into motorball though she gets increasingly more unhinged. Still has her sentimentality but revels in tearing people to shreds.
She’d be an undersized stray cat found in a ditch, nursed back to health, and went around the neighborhood beating up bigger cats. Probably black, and floofy. Black because of the whole bad luck meme. Everyone she cares about ends up dying directly or indirectly because of her actions.
Sebastian Ramirez
Yeah the OVA is pretty great visually even though the budget must have been minimal. It should get some credit for coming up with solutions to problems with adapting the manga into a movie though.
Christian Kelly
I have nothing wrong with the style of anime on the right, for certain genre of anime. I just don't like it when everything starts to look like that.
Of course, it's easier, cheaper, and appeals to the lowest common denominator.
Jaxon Diaz
Next thing will be Alita x user unironic fanart.

Sebastian Russell
We already have those drawings of Alita playing with Yotsuba.
/r/ing those pics
I'd post them myself, but I'm the user whose computer crash and who lost everything in his Alita folder. : /
Cameron Cook
When blurays hit I'm seriously going to buy copies with the express purposes of sending them to all my friends/relatives for christmas/birthdays. So these images and the concept of alita's witnesses going door to door with a book with a black and white headshot of Jim on the page across from deified Alita makes me smile.
Austin Jenkins
Holy shit, this whole thread is entertaining as fuck. I got some OC's coming soon.
Matthew Phillips
I overall prefer Gally but it is a bit unfair towards the movie since Gally has 9 volumes to develop. That's a judgement to make if Cameron and Rodriguez manage to finish their trilogy.
So if we only focus on volume 1, 2 and the small bits of volume 3, I'd say that it is a pretty faithful adaptation of the character. Gally is a bit more, I don't how to say it... child-like ? in the begining of the manga than in the movie but her kindness, heart, soul, bravery, determination, and need to fight to remember and find herself are well depicted. But Alita seems to become more mature faster in the movie than Gally in the manga (which happens more during volume 3, after Yugo's death). In the movie, Alita become an adult when she gets the Berserker body, but it is not the case in the manga. In volume 1 and 2 she appears mature on some occasions only, especially when she fights or reflects on herself and the world around her, but she behaves like a adolescent in love around Yugo, or like a child/young adolescent the rest of the time. This shift in personnality is shown by her facial expressions and body langage. So since I prefer the Gally of volume 3 onwards, I'd say that movie Alita is a great character on her own rights. I regret that she doesn't have her metal chromed thing under her eyes in the final scene of the movie, though.
Considering the OAV, I don't know. It looks a lot like the movie in terms of scenes and screenplay, but I don't remember it well and all I recall is that Gally is closer to her manga counterpart.
I can't answer your last question.
So, to resume my mess of a post, let's say that Overall Gally > movie Alita but movie Alita > volume 1 and 2 Gally (but it is a close call anyway).
Gavin Flores
hiya Peaches nice to see ya

Hunter Russell
Why isn't this allowed to be poster? This is Alita-based OC.
Xavier Lopez
>I haven't read Mars Chronicles yet but as far as the original run is concerned I don't recall any hints at how societies work on Mars. So it's safe to assume Cameron and Rodriguez went down the road of ignoring this since they probably won't adapt Last Order and Mars Chronicles.
The issue is that it's short-sighted. What if Alita becomes a billion dollar franchise and they're at a point where they can afford to adapt LO and MC? They'll have to change too many things to fit the movie's story.
>Chiren is taken from the OAV. I agree the changes on Ido's character are debatable but they don't corrupt the whole storyline except, well, for the brain-chip. Also I don't recall any informations about Zalemians being sterile. Even Nova has a son in the manga, but maybe it is explained, I don't remember.
Zalemians are sterile but they can and do have sex. They're born in tubes, completely manufacted by an automated system, and then assigned to two adults to be raised, usually with no attachment between all parties involved. Their whole society is run by an AI and robots, and they're essentially guinea pigs for Jeru.
>For the rest, Vector is not that important in the story after volume 1 and 2 so he is expandable.
It's not like he's completely written out either. After the fall of Factory system he becomes de facto lord of Iron City. And he has a pretty important interraction with Kaos in LO. That's more stuff they'll have to rearrange in sequels.
>The pupper is not important, I agree that the treatment of Koyomi's character bother me but then again, it can be worked uppon without changing much.
I hope she's not written out and has a similar role in sequels as she does in the manga.
Gavin Morris

NOT to forget Kishiro himself saw it 5 times at least and thinks it´s the best movie ever.
So the changes Jimbo and mainly Rodriguez made are "officially" approved.
Bentley Rogers
So in the manga we get a two-year time-skip between Alita's game against Jashugun and the Zapan arc. Will a similar time-skip be included in the movies? Or will she play Motorball and go straight up to Zalem to get recruited by Tuned?
Ideas on how this will work?
Samuel Morgan
Ahh there it is, the one that's probably circulated the most.

Could I get those pics they're holding pls?

As it should be, it was after all designed out of love of parents for their daughter.

No idea, although given that they made Koyomi into a teenager I think they're going to do a lot less time-skipping
Mason Jones
Ethan Butler
here's one of them
I might have the one on the left but I don't have the candle
Matthew Martin
The guy was obviously a fan of Jim's from the start, there are terminator inspired images all through out Gunnm, so imagine if one your inspirations liked your work so much he plucked it out of obscurity and made it into a major motion picture.
He's basically seen his dream come true at this point.
Adam Price

Thomas Anderson

Logan Long
I knew that Zalem was run by an AI but I didn't remember the thing about the Zalemians being steriles, thanks for refreshing my memories. Or maybe it is something expanded in Last Order ? I haven't read it either yet (but I'm working on it).
Vector did become "king" of Iron City but as long as they introduce Lou Collins and Kaos, they can still handle the story. It is a throwaway panel in the epilogue anyway, so maybe it's not that important ? I don't know the nature of Vector and Kaos interaction in Last Order, so I don't know.
Yeah I hope Koyomi is still around for the sequels. I was legit surprised when she showed up as a teenager. Except now she will be a woman in her late twenties in the movies, but all the thing about Koyomi remembering Alita through the stories she heard will be lost in the process and that's a shame.
Jaxon Gonzalez
I agree with most everything this post has to say, but it's not fair to just bash Disney like this, especially since the MANGA AND ANIME STYLE WOULDN'T EXIST WITHOUT WALT DISNEY!!!
The Godfather of Manga/Anime, Osamu Tezuka, admits he was directly inspired by the works of Walt Disney.
So, I'd argue that from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves to The Jungle Book, The Black Cauldron, and the movies from the 'Disney Renaissance' (minus some exceptions) had the best animation and compares if not rivals the best anime animation.
Adrian Jenkins
>two of the
There's only two.
Justin Gray
Pretty sure they’ll play up the colonists of Mars and other planets as being victims of the Sky Cities and the Terraforming. The URM won’t be just Mars but an alliance of all of these planets. Their cyborgs will be creations of the colonists to perform terraforming in their hazardous environments, or the cyborgs will be technology the colonists had to create for themselves to survive as the result of deprivation. That will be the reason for the war before The Fall - retribution for being wronged by the Sky Cities. Only the war turned out to be MAD and no one won in the end. The war could have been so destructive it devastated the Earth, precluding a need to mention the original causes of Earth being so fucked up in the manga.

Nova calls Alita the last of her species[Berserker], but maybe just on earth, on the movie setting we don't really know a lot about Mars but it seems that things there got fucked up too if there hasn't been any contact between Mars and Earth since the fall.
Nathan Powell

Nope, last day for Regal in my town.

Right, so that’s just on Earth. There could still be colonists left elsewhere, trapped. The Berserkers and the cyborgs that preceded them could’ve been their soldiers during wartime.

Evan Howard
wtf is that image op
Austin Hernandez
The action is really well executed and shot as well. Rodriguez is quite skilled at turning chaos into readable action. There will be crazy bar fights with dozens of people and motorball races with huge complex machines battling each other but it never devolves into a flurry of fast cuts or a Micheal Bay style jumbled mess of random scraps rolling over each other. You can clearly make out who is doing what to whom, how they're doing it and why and the shots are wide and long enough that you can tell they aren't covering up for actors who can't convincingly throw a punch.
I think as far as the action is concerned we actually ended up better off for getting Rodriguez instead of James Cameron, this stuff is kinda is specialty.
Colton Fisher
c-can I tag along?
Carter Watson
It's consistent with the manga. Except in the manga they're called Künstler and as far as everyone else is aware, they're extinct and Alita is "the last of her kind", although, in truth, few managed to survive to present day.
Oliver Carter
Yeah, Ali, I'm going to need 6 rolls of duct tape, silly putty, birthday candles, an electric can opener, a unicycle, Hulk smash gloves, firecrackers, Also, lemme get The Warriors on LaserDisc, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial on BetaMax, Battetoads on Nintendo 64, and a Felix the Cat wall clock.
Brayden Reed
>Check Friday screenings, no more Alita
Ah, well going to see Shazam! or Pet Sematary then I guess. Goonight, sweet princess
>Check Saturday screenings
Holy shit, now there's three Alita screenings in the same day. There haven't been that many since opening weekend. Whoever is booking these screenings must really believe in the legs for Alita almost two months after it opened.
Juan Powell
Rodriguez said he looked up the top 10 bar cinematic bar fights to find out what they needed to top for the Kansas fight and it turned out that two were his (Desperado, From Dusk Till Dawn) and two were Cameron's (Terminator, T2)
Juan Jones
what the fuck are you on about
Austin Rivera
see
Nathan Kelly
>they must really believe in the legs for Alita
they are nice legs
Alexander Price
Jace Lee
>Künstler
It means artist or practitioner, so it would still be accurate to call Alita a Künstler, she's a practitioner of Panzer Kunst. And that knowledge and training sits in the head, so it's not really inconsistent with the manga.
Jonathan Moore
I'm using this one as my desktop background and it looks so damn good.
James Peterson
There could be Berserkers out in the wastes. Maybe Gelda is living in that jungle, or out in the desert proper, where we could get closer to the manga locale-wise as with TUNED and the Badlands, and get something Mad Max style
Blake Hernandez

Matthew Morales
No it doesn't.
Ayden Hill
You got a source on that? It's hilarious if true, I'd love to see/read wherever that came from.
Joseph Bell
>so it's not really inconsistent with the manga
Which is what I said. In the manga and movie they're an elite group of cyborg warriors. I think where they differ is that in the manga, from what I can remember, Kunstlers are an independent group, sort of like a sect or terrorist cell, whereas in the movie they seem to be a part of martian military forces.
Asher Rivera
It was in an interview with Robert I saw on youtube but I've seen so many that it would be hard to find again
Ryan Martin
Fun speculations but ultimately futile.
I don´t believe Jimbo himself made more than the script for the first movie which Rodriguez then had to condense.
Lucas Cooper

William Cooper
I believe it´s in the main behind the scenes, they´re all over Youtub.
Adam Murphy

Kayden Fisher
Jimbo has 600 pages of notes. Knowing how details-oriented Jimbo is, and how badly he wanted to make a movie of /ourgirl/ I’ve got to believe there was enough material in there for more
Oliver Gomez
Great gen and a great movie as well. 38 unique users with 135 posts, that's the mark of a long lasting gen. Really happy for you guys, and I'm not even being sarcastic. I hope you never stop making this gen, I think its just great
Adam Reed
That would make zero sense, but then again, they were not supposed to be on Earth in first place, and they shouldn't be able to survive that long (Yoko is a special case).
Ryder Foster
The dude clearly loved Hollywood movies since his youth, especially Cameron and Verhoeven

I kinda hope they don't to some degree. While I love Gunnm proper, and enjoy Last Order and beyond I don't think have the best execution, cool ideas and interesting concepts but I don't really like how it was put together that much and I'm kinda more interested in seeing Jim's take on it. Apparently Jim knows his stuff, I saw an interview were he's mentions events from LO and MC, Rosa too for that matter she's apparently up to date on MC as well, and I think even Kishiro would be okay with them changing stuff

Hope we see more of him in the sequel(s) he was easily my favorite side character. Just the design of a cyborg cowboy with cyborg hounds is cool enough on it's own to be a movie.

What are you even doing, Jerome? You've reduced yourself to pretending to be a fan while avoiding anything ban-worthy. You're not even proper shitposting anymore. All you're doing is helping bump our threads and making them stronger, this time without even annoying us. You've just become one of us, the very thing you vowed to fight off.
Dominic Roberts
Alita never fights him, McTeague doesn't really fight anyone anyways he just lets his dogs tear people apart

I literally have no idea who you're referencing or what you're talking about. I read about the manga on Wikipedia and I'm watching the show now in a theatre and I was hoping to talk about it with you guys as I watched it. Are all you guys this paranoid?

Its fine user, I can tell you guys are a very territorial group of people and that new members simply aren't welcome here. I'll watch the movie in silence, I'm sorry for intruding :(
Joseph Morris
Still can't tell if trolling or not, but I'll leave you with the benefit of the doubt.
These threads get a LOT of trolls spamming and shitposting because...no real reason. They're just angry and jealous of our generals. They call us all sorts of things like shills, weebs, pedos, Marvel-haters, etc. A handful of them have remained with us over several threads, actually wasting their own time complaining about something they hate in a dedicated general that is self-contained and never spills out to any other thread or board on this site.
So, I wouldn't say 'paranoid', but it's left us very wary, skeptical, and alert to posts that are obviously or less obviously spam or shitposts.

In time more people will notice.

Alita should’ve taken Large Robot’s chain fingers for herself like she did MUH FACE’s sword, would’ve been sick

Checked and blessed OC peach.
Landon Ross
She refused him the dab.
Christian Sullivan
Alita humiliated Zapan, he tried to get revenge but she cut his face off, he lost his memory and got a girlfriend but then when he saw Alita doing motorball he went insane and accidentally killed her
that's not even half of it

I wonder which list Robert read because neither Terminator is on that one
Tyler Howard
>Fang
lol damn it I meant Fury
Luke Robinson
Sent e-mail.
Sebastian Johnson
Fang was actually the dog from the first volume, the one in Kansas bar that saves Koyomi from the underworld.
Fury is the one you're thinking of since it's the one Koyomi and Alita bond with and she calls it fang since she's only two and some change years old and still thinks "Fang" is what you call dogs.
Joseph Flores
>Tfw no PO box
don't doxx me pls

I just got a quite heavy package. I didn't realize that the manga box set was this big.
Parker Lee
enjoy the movie user
Kayden Moore
For you.
Joshua Robinson
huh I guess I just thought Fury and Fang were the same dog then because of their connection to Koyomi
Andrew Taylor
how the fuck did mcteague's dogs get into the underground area? ido and hugo obviously are shown taking a ladder

I like how we have the Talhoffer manuals on the walls and what I think is the flatwoods monster on her overalls.

End them rightly
Samuel Peterson
Sure, user
Samuel Jackson
In is easy, they jump down, they cyborg dogs with cyborg dog legs, both Alita and Grewishka can handle it so obviously the dogs probably can too.
Out would be more difficult probably need a rope and leaver or exploring the sewers and tunnels for an alternate exit.
Ayden Jones
>I'll make it very simple and clear: Alita: Battle Angel is really worth a watch. It's just entertaining and visually impressive, exactly what it was meant to be.
>Just keep this in mind that it's an origin story so don't go looking for an overstuffed complex story. It's just a fun action movie that introduces us to a new superhero Alita: Battle Angel, played brilliantly by Rosa Salazar. I became an instant fan watching her in this action heroine avatar, something she manages to pull off with ease. Watch her in the action sequences and there's no way you can't be impressed. Viewers were literally cheering for some of the most heroic moments in the film. Cristoph Waltz as Doc Ido is as awesome as always, it's just that his character feels even better and refined than what we've seen in the Manga. Mahershala Ali is also quite good, and so are Jennifer Connelly and Keean Johnson.
>But the one character that ultimately steals the show is Goose, the bird. Some of the sequences involving her are so hilarious that it was really difficult to stop laughing.
>Visual effects are excellent, and the IMAX 3D viewing just elevated them. And since it's most importantly an action movie, every single action sequence it delivers is impressive, especially the gun training sequence. I would call it one of the major highlights of the movie. Cinematography in certain portions is really impressive. Humor, like any other MCU movie, is top notch and really manages to make you laugh.
>Alita: Battle Angel has a simple-looking origin story presented and executed in a terrific manner. The directors have done a great job with the characterization of Alita: Battle Angel, and that is what makes everything in the film seem so good. The pace is brisk, gore is minimal to no, and there's nothing unsuitable for kids.
Leo Barnes

Also if you receive stickers please excuse the crude way they're cut. I'm a mongoloid and I'm using a razor blade cause I don't own any scissors.
Blake Gray
McTeague too cool
Lucas Miller
should I watch this movie if i'm mentally unstable and very lonely
Alexander Jackson
It's already too late for the anons that already got their cans delivered. Drawfren confirmed domestic terrorist.
Nolan Edwards
if Alita wants to throw something at someone she'll just cut her whole fucking arm off
Justin Gomez
yes user... join us...
Carson Peterson
Yes. It heals.
Aiden Brooks
It probably won't be harmful - they even recommend this movie as a activity in some group settings.
It's not a substitute for proper treatment though.
Colton Rodriguez
yes user Alita will save you
Hunter Bell
yeah fair enough
Nathaniel Hill
Daniel Brooks
>tfw I made four of those
Michael Thomas
Can we get a McTeague solo film? An original sidestory about a bounty hunting cowboy with cyber dogs set a number of years before Alita directed by Robert Rodriguez? If you do it right you could even reuse have the sets.
Anthony Young

>Men who hate women love Alita, but why?
>The robot girl warrior taps into several problematic tropes regarding “strong female leads,” including the “born sexy yesterday” cliche, which gives us innocent childlike women who also possess massive power but can’t find their way without a man.
>But Alita also taps into the male fantasy of a submissive girl robot devoted to her man. From the moment Alita meets street hustler Hugo (Keean Johnson), she becomes immediately enamored of him. He also happens to be the first male character she meets outside of her adopted father figure, Dr. Ido (Christoph Waltz). Alita’s slavish devotion to Hugo reminded me of one of Futurama’s best episodes: season 3, episode 15, “I Dated a Robot.”
AND MY FAVORITE PARAGRAPH
>Alita is not a sexbot, but perhaps something even worse. She is a lovebot, a cyborg that is powered by an unshakable and unearned devotion to the first boy she meets. Early on in the film, she opens her chest cavity and literally offers her mechanical heart to Hugo, saying, “I’d do whatever I had to for you. I’d give you whatever I have. I’d give you my heart.”
>What Alita offers isn’t sex. In fact, despite her shapely figure she remains innocent and childlike—that is, until she starts going into warrior mode and kicking ass. This tamped down sexuality combined with her fighting skills makes Alita a chaste version of the classic “girls with guns” trope, a superficial read on feminism that equates violence with agency.
OH HO HO NO NO NO NO
>And it’s exactly this kind of “female empowerment” that entitled fanboys crave: a hot woman warrior who fights not for herself, but for her man, while remaining utterly devoted to him. No wonder she appeals to internet trolls. For them, she’s a female fantasy come to life.
Matthew Harris
Merkt das zwölfte Stück, ob du raschlich mit ihm enden will. So nehm dein Gewehr und Damaskusklinge zusammen im Futteral, und schraub dein bionischen Arm ab und werf ihn heftig nach ihm. Nach der Werfen lauff auf ihn zu und nütz Panzerkunst oder Gewehr, je nachdem, was du am besten passt.
Nolan Powell
Might as well be the tagline.
Isaiah Morris
WHAT!?!?!?!??!
He looked so tall compared to Rosa, Rosa must be classed as a dwarf.
Samuel Young
Isn't this media outlet satire
Jordan Lopez
You'll ride an emotional rollercoaster like never before for a few weeks but we'll be here for you
Christopher Kelly
would've changed 'Goose' to 'Pupper' and 'MCU movie' to 'Robert Rodriguez movie'.
Other than that, solid 10/10.
Ryan Robinson
Should I go watch it for a third time or not?
Justin Martin
Is this true? he looked pretty tall
Kayden Bailey
Rodriguez is 5'11 for scale, Rosa is very smol.
Elijah Phillips
r/ing this, but with 'love' changed to 'autism'.
Joshua Gray
I was shocked
he has the proportions of a tall man
apparently christoph waltz is also 5'7"
Jackson Foster
>And it’s exactly this kind of “female empowerment” that entitled fanboys crave: a hot woman warrior who fights not for herself, but for her man, while remaining utterly devoted to him.
And that's her biggest fucking flaw. Even Hugo tells her to not just do things for people. Her relationship with him is a critical point of development for her, she learns to not be so blinded with passion and look at things from a more rational point of view. These fucking journalists are so desperate to push this movie down and prop up Captain Marvel, it's insane.
>The challenge failed because of course it did. Alita went on to gross $84 million domestically and over $300 million worldwide, while Captain Marvel just sailed past $1 billion at the box office.
The absolute smugness in this, not even comparing the lack of marketing, lack of brand recognition, and it still pulled in 400 million worldwide. What does she have to say to the women who fucking loved the movie?
Nolan Jackson
They're above her arms so they're...shoulder pads?
Kayden Reed
lanklets can get out, Alita is for manlets
Dominic Parker
Really? I thought he is like 6’2 at least
Julian Brooks
sneaky zapan
Jaxon Cooper
Also, Rosa Salazar is a big leftist, the whole crew is, they're all Anti-Trump, Rosa even follows Shaun King, one of the biggest, most idiotic left-wing idiots around. Yet because the film's narrative doesn't tick the exact PC boxes they want, it needs to be shut down. What a joke.
Logan Lopez
It's not that surpising. Rosa is 5 foot 2 or so, taller male leads would have dwarfed her.
Colton Bailey
Please use some of your can money to buy a decent pair of scissors, mongoloid-kun.
Colton Watson
It ought to be - it's named after a deliberate act of shit writing. It'll be like a magazine called Naked Came the Stranger.
Wyatt Howard
Yeah, that's what they want you to think.
Julian Hernandez
Yes, yes, and yes again.
Hunter Flores
Fucking manlet confirmed
Adrian Anderson

Anthony Kelly
This soulless husk has been made to face their own inadequacy and the dread is just dripping from every word.
Jordan White
I think it's serious
Jeremiah Torres
There's no way this is true. He's at least 5'9"-5'10". Look at him standing straight up in cast pictures. He's nearly as tall as Skrein, Rodriguez, and Cameron, and he's not wearing lifts or heels. Watch him in interviews. He's got long legs and big feet.
Joseph Morgan
it's ironic because Hugo is universally panned by fans and the love arc is considered the weakest part of the film
we don't love Alita because we imagine ourselves as Hugo, we love her because of her iron fist full of tears
Lucas James
holy shit, burgers have some serious mentally ill people out of all that social engineering shit they made.
Isaiah Bennett
WE BROKE THE 85 MILLION DOMESTIC BOX OFFICE, GOYS
Easton Stewart
OH WOW, this is great!
Didn´t have that, thanks!
Joseph Walker
I like Hugo, but he serves a function for Alita, he's a piece of her coming of age story. And even then, there's nothing wrong with her falling in love, the aspect that's important to her is not diving in to things head first without thinking of the consequences.
Adam Rodriguez
Ayden Sullivan
What I find retarded is how they change their goalposts
>"WAAAAAH WE WOMYN ARE MORE THAN SEX OBJECTS!"
>"WHAT!? THEY SEE ALITA NOT AS A SEX BOT, BUT A LOVE BOT THAT CARES AND HAS FEELINGS? THAT'S WORSE!"
Luke Lopez
I don't think there's an actor on earth whose google height listing isn't inflated so if anything he's shorter or the others lie about their height (rodriguez is listed as 6'2" but I'm almost positive he was confirmed 5'11" at some point)
also you can't always tell if shoes are lifts

yeah I don't mind hugo either and I feel kind of bad for keean, some of the critics are brutal about his looks, just listened to a podcast that defined him as a "budget hunk"
Grayson Richardson
Yes, where we only talk about Battle Angel-related things, mostly the live-action movie, and we talk about nothing else Yea Forums or /jp/-related at all.
Nathan Lee
aww yeah way to go Alita
Justin Thompson
Brayden Watson
And there's nothing necessarily wrong with that, or even having a crush on a character, it's understanding she's more than looks, which Alita totally is.
Brody Edwards
walmart brad pitt, lol. fortunately from my experience he didn't detract from the film. just like a cute, boring, misled kid

Nasty, men-hating, radical feminists hate love so much that they're disgusted by anyone who has clingy or devoted feelings. Sorry, not anyone. Any WOMAN. A man is okay to be depicted as a devoted and clingy and selfless chump.

and now that it's too late for me I'm angry and I'm obviously not to blame and all men are trolls, MRAs and all women loved by men are bad because I wish I was them.
This is such a transparet cry for love and attention that it doesn't deserve a real reply. It looks like satire, then again, bitter post-wall women are unironically like this.
