>*growls in approval*
Yeah it's fucked that anyone would joke especially considering Yea Forums's history with this stuff
cinemablend.com
/alita/ ASSEMBLE!
WE HAVE TO MAKE SOMETHING SIMILAR FOR ROSA, JIM, ROBERT AND LANDAU
Repost.
>pastebin.com
Please enjoy.
ESPECIALLY with the recent events still fresh in the minds of a lot of us here down under
We did, we just haven't sent it yet, a letter. We should make a collage of all the friendly memes made here.
how was the meetup(s), im a fag that just got here
we do have something planned user, we talked about it last thread. We've had something ready since before CM even came out iirc.
Well we'll just have to wait and see I guess
I think someone would have posted something by now though
nobody is reporting back yet so either it
1. went badly, everybody died and voiceanon has a bigger peepee than everybody
2. it went great like the first one and they're having post-movie hangouts at a bar.
All of them have gone really well so far apparently, I'm trying to meet up with another user from my town but Alita isn't playing here anymore
>this smol girl comes in and slaps your beer bottle on the ass
wat do?
my beer has an ass???
Please stop, I'm going to pass out...
This fight was shot so well that I can pick out Ajakutty, Gangsta, Screwhead, and Kumaza just in this shitty cam rip clip
Make it a wholesome one and I'll include it. Can even get it printed like A3.
OMFG NONCGI ROSA IS IN THIS WEBM
Why not? It has a mouth and a body and a head?
where is she
they definitely made it a point to highlight each character that had some kind of future role (like the motorball team) so that we'd remember them. love this kind of filmmaking
>"I am just in a weird place right now looking for a career change. I don't think I should be dating now. You are a great guy, but it's just not the right time for me."
Guys, what did she mean by this? Girl I went on two dates with sent me this msg when I asked her out again. How should I respond?
Delivered warm and steaming. You're making me really want a motorball game friend.
8 seconds in, she's running around the corner
>i think it's blurry so hard to tell
any Phoenix frens? there are only 2 days of screenings left
such a simple pleasure to just have the camera tracking the action rather than a dozen dizzying, disorienting cuts to suggest frantic action. The bar fight isn't even long but each opponent she faces is so distinct because each little bout is unique.
She used you for free food.
You don't respond, cause she isn't worth it.
she don't like you, try again next time and do better on the next one (chad here, i literally mean this, i've failed a million times). saging my own post
I saw you're steering away from Motorball fanfics but you could always write about hunter-warrior stuff.
it means she doesn't want to date you? Just leave her alone. If she's actually attracted she'll reach out. Pestering her will only kill whatever shot you might've had.
Crazy how good directing makes everything shine on its own.
what are some other well directed movies or fight scenes like this? Alita honestly feels like a kids movie, in the best way possible. not pretentious cinematography; easily accessible characters; romance; adventure; everything is there for you to understand, and if not, there are deliberate secrets
>sin city
>leon the professional
>matrix?
>john wick (fuck me but i believe it)
>zootopia (fuck you i liked it)
But she kissed me and we watched alita together. Why would she reject me now?
that's a really fast kick.
me, leaned over the bar
Rocky.
To keep you orbiting in case she wants more free food. Unfortunately, kissing is a shallow gesture these days.
you can kiss someone, make out, sleep over, fuck, and still not want to do it again/the experience wasn't enjoyable enough to go further, etc. dates don't usually end midway, they play out. however, people generally know by the beginning or middle of the date if they like you enough to do it again.
movies kinda suck for first dates unless you spend a few hours together beforehand, and even then, the movie should be optional, not a 2 hour committment you feel obligated to undergo
because people don't know what they want and what they do in the moment might not explain what they actually feel. You can get much further in a relationship and things will change abruptly. And it's not fun when you've built a life together.
Hello new bread. Sorry to be late. Please be healed by Arita with Ido helping.
Ip Man, no question.
Kill Bill.
hello user nice to have you back
I got super stoned with my friend and my sister and we watched Zootopia and it was amazing.
My cousin worked on it, I forget what his title was but he's one of the first dozen or so names that comes up on the screen during the concert at the end.

ty blessed arita poster
It's sad bros, I never felt a connection like this before. I'm gonna respond
>"No problem. Good luck with your career change and thanks for the good times!"
Thanks for responding frens. Back to shitposting
very nice user, and agreed, good flick. i'm currently rewatching The English Patient, it's no Alita but it's like Alita for middle-aged white girls
don't do it user, that sounds too formal, just say "i get it," that's just negging enough
That's a good response user. And hey, good on you for going and giving it a shot. You're not gonna lose the fun times you had even if they're over.
She sees you has a hapless beta and she's setting you up to be her Plan B.
You don't want to be a Plan B dude, next her, next her now and find someone who actually likes you.
If you want, but don't respond trying to fish. Just move on.
If anyone here can make images we need an /askalita/ edit to post with life advice questions
Whatever you do let her go, she's not worth your time. If a woman implies you gotta "wait for her" guess what, she will probably sleep around and go back to you with syphylis, think of this as her making you a favor. You're better off avoiding women like that.
Keep up the good work Thread Man.
I just went through 50 pages of tumblr to find some Rosa pics
What am I even doing with my life
Thank you Thread Man
I don't know but this is getting saved to my rapidly growing Rosa folder
thanks Todd
>Going through hell for Rosa
That's true love
You're doing healing work for us
If anyone wants to make edits with the other Iron City coins, here they are
anything by James Cameron
the police shootout in The Terminator is easily one of the best constructed action sequence of all time
the way the tension builds, the way you feel the impact of every shot, the bare bones soundtrack etc.
it was made in 1984 on a 6 million dollar budget but the camera work and editing still feels modern because Cameron was way ahead of his time
youtube.com
we're gonna have our own economy up in these threads now
We already do it's just in the form of OC trading
I did enjoy writing The Hunt so I'll see what I can come up with!
I'll update the archive in just a bit
Apparently inside sources claim that the LAnons had an excellent time
WHO'Sinside sources?
Anyone know of good places that can make custom patches? I love this design but I'd rather have it in patch form to put on one of my jackets.
the uno coin woooWowo
Oh NO
You don't respond and you delete her number and move on. Sorry if it hurts but at least you didn't waste years with this person. It was only a couple dates. It will be okay.
Working on 10 next. Gotta work a little magic to make it round.
Um, Rosa? Why?
Whatever happened to the
>OHOHO NO
poster
madebycooper.com
we have faith in your skills.
she needs to be fed quality memes
>waiting for meet-up news
You're a champ CutOut
There's tons on Instagram though, anons on there have reposted memes from here.
I'm sure they're out having a great time! We'll hear from them when we do
>we have faith in your skills.
As well you should.
Was jerome there?
He didn't show up this night
>coin is at an angle in original pic
>coin is flat in the cut out
wtf how?!
haven't seen too many actually but I did see Peaches' Titanic comparison show up which was odd.
You're too good to us
Awesome CutOut
You can angle pictures in photoshop or video editing programs
Let the economy commence!
So, are we actually going to give out and trade currency based on the numbers on the coins? We need to keep track of all this.
this is biG mOneY
It's actually interesting to speculate a little on the value of credits relatively speaking. Does anyone have all the times that discreet credit amounts are mentioned? It's bounties, the posters Alita sees, Hugo's costs for Zalem, and that's it right?
How? Since the coin isn't physical, there is no true way to track it and make it have a fixed volume.
I want to hangout with her and her doggos and I don't care who knows it.
Casual and cute Rosa excellent find
I see what you did there.
I'm a biiiiig robot and I need a biiiig cereal
This is a comfy thread anons I like it.
Update on LA meetup, we're at dennys
I like you too fren
it's quiet, somewhat slow. I have Golden Girls on. If I had Frasier playing at the same time I might slip into a comfy coma.
trips don't lie! I take it that means all is going well.
LA user bring your ass to Dennys you dumb cunt
Ok so sell me on Golden Girls. I've never watched it but people seem to love it
Hey that's awesome, glad you're not dead, some user was fucking with us earlier which is not cool
Truly the spiritual home of /alita/
Don't forget to make your Alita use her eye protection before Rollerballing!
It's a quiet night, and it feels extra comfy.
it's comfy and funny. Very low stakes show which is what makes a show comfy to me. Dorothy is the best of course.
>Sure CutOut, whatever
Ah I see what you're getting at. Like rewatching old episodes of TNG
Do they still have left over Solo trading cards? KEK
What's everybody listening to right now?
Whaaat
What happened
When the fuck are these generals going to end?
hoping never
pretty much, I've watched through TNG a few times, Frasier more times than I can count, Cheers a couple times. All comfy all great. Frasier gets feely out of nowhere though if you don't know the episodes.
lol
If the sequels are announced, we're going another 2 to 5 years easy.
It was probably the same user from earlier who was acting like he was going to shoot up the theater and was posting pics of a different user's guns acting like they were his, but tonight they were telling us to check the news and that something was going down in Irvine and that SWAT teams were at the theater
>kept saying to check the news
>mentioned that vague 'don't go tomorrow' poster from last night
very clearly bs but nobody from the meet up was checking in because it was after dark
They're here as long as we are. The true strength is inside us all along
Fuck yeah Dredd
We must go S A F E E R
can never be too safe with our battle angel
>SWAN
Nah but actually I've been on a Dragon Ball Super kick recently. Blizzard from the Broly film is a banger
Update on LA meetup at Denny's featuring incredible custom shirt
>I don't need all this crap!
this has to be very confusing for your server lol
she protec
>Yes, you do. Remember? This is your OC. If it doesn't get shared I can't repost it anymore.
So how many people went this time?
>Yes I know! Now go find a good spot to watch; you're making me nervous.
Six
Sweet, glad to hear it's going well.
Trips of Truth and Frenship
This song always reminds me of Alita now and it sounds like the music they used in one of the trailers
youtube.com
trips twice, wtf
And then you got dubs. The based Card God Cameron is watching over us.
is the 19 years shut in there too?
yes lmao
Dunno who you mean
ty Cam Man for blessing us
>44
Make sure you drop as many movie quotes as you can
>"I do not stand by in the presence of uncooked bacon!"
long hair Rosa is best... but tomboy Rosa is growing on me.
Quiet night tonight
it's comfy user, not every thread needs to be a race to the finish. Sometimes a breather is nice.
Enjoy the coze. What have you been up to lately?
Happens pretty much every night, but right now 6 anons are at the meetup, so they're busy too.
Does anyone have any ideas for OC? My brain has kinda gone dry
Make a list of BluRay cutout requests.
I get random bursts of inspiration and I have to go make them that second.
Oh fuck, I'm going to make .webms of every single damn second, we're going to hit image limit in like 1 minute.
Blonde Moner to play Shumira, make it happen.
JC painting a pic of Alita with the general's logo above her.
Just read the official ending of GUNNM
THAT’S FUCKING BULLSHIT. How could they end it like that
One person at this meetup has not even seen blade runner or rush hour I'm literally incredulous
An /askalita/ pic with numbers 0-9 corresponding to answers to questions or movie quotes so we can roll for it
I've never seen rush hour but I've seen both blade runners
>not seeing rush hour
idk why you getting angry about this is so funny to me.
CAN'TSTOP
The author hates it too. They're not going to use it.
NEW MASCOT OH BOY
New?
it's retconned in LO, just keep reading
Done. What's next?
haven't seen her do a big spin yet.
Thanks JIM this is our next thread pic
When I meant the Official Ending, I meant Gally dying to a shitty robo-saibaman.
Oh wait, I'm an idiot, there has to be a painting of Alita too, oops. BRB
lol nice work. I don't have anything at the moment. Coin for u.
Too big?
I did better.
Actually, here's a better version.
high quality artwork James all other artists can just stop at this point. Everything has been done.
10/10
If you want other ideas, I was thinking the trash could be typical Yea Forums shitposts while he's holding the /ALITA/ general in his hands, or something along those lines
test
Here ya go
Some rough edges, but i'll do them again
Damn, nice Thread Man. Cameron is really good at painting.
HE MAKES SOME DAMN GOOD ART
This is a good idea
>makes kino
>invests in new tech
>deep dives further than anybody
>breaks box office records
>can paint a perfect Alita from memory alone
is there nothing that can stop this man?
Just think, there was a point when this man was homeless and using coupons from his mom to get Big Macs to eat. Then he sold his Terminator script for a penny. The rest is history.
>According to the reports by Japanese media, Yukito Kishiro, the original author of Japanese cyberpunk manga Gunnm, on which the live-action film is based, was very much satisfied with the long-awaited adaptation. The live-action project was originally launched in 2003.
>He had already seen the film four times (for free. He said it was the original creator's privilege), and the Japan premiere screening was his fifth. He said on the stage, "Thanks to the great staff, it has become the greatest movie in the world. Every time I see, I can find something new. The composition is amazing. All scenes are special and there are no unneeded ones. It is so exciting that I can't believe that I created the original story.
>As reported, Kishiro previosuly posted his comment that praised the film very highly.
>"The core part of the manga was brilliantly passed on to the film. Including the characters' emotion and raison d'etre, they were perfectly reflected in the film, so I was very happy."
>Every time I see, I can find something new. The composition is amazing. All scenes are special and there are no unneeded ones.
He's definitely not wrong about that. Every scene matters, the script is so tightly wrapped and filled with so much weight. Even what's not happening literally, the subtext and second layer to what's happening with the characters each scene, it's fucking brilliant. We need to compile like a full analysis of everything we've deconstructed by the end of the threads.
>only person Rolex made a special watch for
>had a kid with Sarah Connor
>wrote and directed the two highest grossing movies of all time
>has a frog named after him
>made a movie just as an excuse to explore the wreck of the Titanic
Cameron's a legend
we need more alita pepes
This
some anons made orange ones like James Cameron's frog
Some user was making some last thread, but yeah, we need a Zapan pepe.
it's incredible how there's no dead weight in this movie. Every scene, every exchange is moving things along. Some of my favorite analyses were:
>Chiren and Alita's dichotomy of achieving goals. Chiren is passive, Alita is active.
>Hugo being necessary for Alita
>That nothing ever works out for Alita the way she thinks it will and is forced by adversity to mature.
I remember someone posted here a manga scan of Alita crying and saying “Since I lost Hugo I don’t have anything” or something like this. I read the original manga but I never found this page, is it from Last Order?
Also Kishiro himself is heavily vindicated by how successful the film is. His ideas aren't just a flash in the pan- they have staying power as interesting to explore
i told you fags he loved the movie
>James Cameron's frog
Elaborate
it's just such a shame that Alita didn't do better in Japan, especially since James Cameron always had a way of doing well there
we got beat by this
youtube.com
oh well that's just Japan for you
Who is this roughskin lizard
wholesome post
Well, they also mismarketed it. I'm surprised they didn't rename the movie to Gunnm and change Alita's name in the movie to Gally.
It's the frog they named after James Cameron
okay anons, sleep is claiming me. I wanted to read about the meetup but I'll have to play catchup tomorrow. Stay comfy /alita/. The sequels will come.
Again
Sleep well friend. We'll keep the lights on as always
night user stay comfy
of course he has a frog to his name, he was always destined to be the god of Yea Forums
This is ADVANCED motion blur
Ah nice thank you JC
>James Cameron actually has a goddamn frog named after him
He really does lurk here
He personally made all the sequel edits
I can just imagine him walking on to the set of Avatar 4 and showing the crew pic related he just edited, to which everyone showers him with praise.
What emotion does this convey?
Happiness. She's eating a burrito. Let her be happy before everything goes to hell.
this is beyond science
This one?
Doing okay fren, today was chill but I just realized I forgot to pick up my meds and apparently my town is getting a blizzard tonight so tomorrow's most likely going to suck
>thread #349
This outfit is underrated desu
the doll body is so incredible I still can't get over it
I hope you don't get too unbalanced not having access to meds sucks. Good luck with it
>basedboy reddit meme
Meanwhile, this board is flooded with anons complaining about Avatar and hating on Cameron. You go back.
how was the meeting jerome?
this is my first time ever being in one of these threads. i have never seen this movie
what am i thinking right now?
Confused by the Alita memes. You should see the movie though, user, it's good.
Does anyone else think the Dark Knight is awful except for the scenes Heath Ledger's in? That movie's a mess I don't really get why everyone says it's the best comic book movie
The teenager enters the brotherhood of warriors.
The arrival of the demon from the underworld of the dead.
The victim of an innocent animal.
Anointing in the blood.
The pursuit of a demon in the underworld.
Death.
Father's hand salvation.
Resurrection adult full-fledged warrior.
Even out of touch with all the other scenes and lines.
Why don't the critics see it?
This is the level of the first part of any ethnography textbook, the first hundred pages of the The Golden Bough, any literary critic would see it.
But critics of cinema carry incredible nonsense about “predatory relationships”, “Second Amendment”, ignore the fact that this is an adaptation, complain that the film doesn’t answer who Alita was before, complain about the momentary political conventions of which there is no film.
What is wrong with them?
thinking you should see the best movie of the year
there's still time
You're thinking that you should watch the movie user
The Dark Knight series is flawed, and I see why people don't like them, but I appreciate what they get right.
Join us and stay a while friend, see the movie when you can
Because Alita is a "sexy" woman who's objectified and falls in love with a "boring" white male. That right there killed the movie for modern day e-celeb critics and leftist journalists. Sorry user, your cool deconstruction doesn't matter.
I don't at all like that screenshot
Not to mention, the media hates Cameron after he criticized Wonder Woman, The Avengers, and Aquaman.
How is she objectified? Are there any articles dissing the movie that make a cogent argument for this? The only ones I've seen say she embodies tropes like "fighting fucktoy" and "born sexy yesterday" that are a real stretch to apply to her.
>your cool deconstruction doesn't matter.
Wrong.
I couldn't make up half decent "responses" for this.
Maybe some other user can
go 7!
Rolling for any Alita.
Nice Thread Man, you on a roll making OC. I'm holding out my energy for the blu-ray.
Roll
>submissive girl robot devoted to her man
>robot
>Love = lavish devotion
>Futurama’s as a source of knowledge about the world
And these people talk about men in basements?
I sent in 100 orange peels to the internet man and I unlocked a secret Rosa
Does anyone want to see it
It's not this one
Just made this picture. Hope you enjoy it.
Dubs for the most wholesome smile.
tfw I can't find any Grewishka porn
I just want to see the big lug naked
what should we use for 99
The pic you just posted
>Grewishka naked
best I got user
Aw, very cute.
Yeah I figured that would be a good one but I don't think there's a cutout of it yet
If you see this CutOut, please work that DAMN good magic you got
good job user
Rolling for standing WAY back
she really REALLY looks like a frog here
>CANTSTOP
SHESJUSTASOLJA
Why is she so CUTE argh
*cough*
I SAID does anyone want to see a rare Rosa
OH NOOO
I MUST REMAIN PURE
Is this decent?
Does anyone have a good round sticker of Alita or any images of her that would make a good one?
I'm thinking of covering the blower fan sticker on my vertical mount
ALITAS IS PURE. ROSA IS HOLLYWOOD BABYLON WHORE.
Rosa's an angel you monster
Use this for the whole thing
user no!
Yeah, I read the Mary Sue article. Born sexy yesterday refers to a character like Leeloo from The Fifth Element, doesn't fit Alita at all.
The other accusations are "submissive robot girl" and "lovebot." Alita isn't submissive by any stretch, she's self-motivated the whole way through, from investigating Ido in the beginning to learning about her past. She decided to make Hugo's goal of reaching Zalem her own goal, but even at that point she's the one driving the action and he follows along.
It's true she falls for the first male character she meets after Ido, but running time is precious in the movie. The pace of their relationship is believable for teenage love. She's nothing like the Futurama robot mentioned in the article.
The Common Sense Media article just says Alita is "sexualized in a disturbing way." She's less sexualized than almost any female action hero I can think of.
The only way you can accuse Alita of this stuff is to use blatant double standards that apply to tons of other female characters that aren't considered "problematic."
>I don't really get why everyone says it's the best comic book movie
The bar isn't exactly very high, especially considering Dark Knight was released in 2008 and the last Batman films before Nolan's trilogy had been Batman Forever and Batman and Robin. It was pretty exceptional for its time and it kinda saved Batman movies from widespread ridicule.
Hop on kid. Let's Roll!
did you consider
Tthe only logical choice.
perfect
Jimbo in the back is a nice touch
Goodnight Anons and Alita. Thank you for all the fun today. You bring spurts of happiness to my dull days!
Also the film paints her intentionally as naive with her bar speech and the heart scene. We're meant to love her esrnestnest but understand that it's a flaw. The film doesn't say that this is the correct course of action as a whole. JFC why are reviewers such brainlets this isn't even hard analysis
Sleep well fren! You'll have to read about the meet tomorrow
If anyone has just a plain image of this, then most likely
Nice work
can I get this one but smaller, it's my favorite
Jim would be proud
Oh right, the new generation of film critics believe that you can't show a character making mistakes and rely on the audience to understand why it was a mistake. Protagonists have to do the right thing 100% of the time and showing a character with flaws means you want people to imitate those flaws.
How small you want it?
I laughed out loud at this. You guys are nuts. How did you even come up with this and where can I get one?
I want it about that big but with the updated less pixel-y one you just posted where the hair shine isn't transparent
I kinda feel like these same critics would hate Sarah Connor if they watched T1/T2 today
you just make it yourself, I have another version that is more saturated too
Alita is an inspiration to us all user
that's perfect thanks
Holy shit, thanks, I'm going to try this.
more saturated version
Yeah, a completely normal work-a-day woman who gets her world turned upside down and reacts like a normal human being would - no we can't have that! Instead we should have her speechifying about the patriarchy and punch all her problems away with her Mary Sue powers. Because that's what audiences would connect with, somehow.
Thanks fren I'll be okay
I'm going to bed now everyone, stay comfy
That sounds familiar, like what one ex said to me. Well, if you add in a suicide attempt.
Funny. I feel myself that I shouldn't be dating. Then again, I am NEET right now, so a career change would mean getting a job.
Think you can draw a backside to Alita? the poncho already kinda works on it's own since it wraps around her, but from behind she'd just be white paper right?
can someone kindly drop the Alita title PNG (just the title)
I didn't draw it I just saved it for later
gotcha fren
wow we hit bump limit before image limit for once
use this when people say the movie didn't make enough money
needs alita in the boat
BAKER
Yea Forums is slow enough at these hours we might as well wait until we hit Image limit too.
whatever works, just use the Jim painting pic as OP
that is one GIANT alita
Man, Wednesday it gets really slow around here. May as well make the new bread now since it hit bump limit, before it gets archived.
Are you baking? Don't forget we have some of the night owls out partying tonight.
Go ahead, just make sure you if you do
How long until the media unanimously adopts the fact Alita was a hit? Some outlets are, but when will it be the common narrative? A sequel is very possible now, which means the first one was successful.
I guess I'll do it.
Once we get incidental sales figures and people buy lots of BDs
NEW BREAD
NEW BREAD
formatting got a tiny messed up, but whatever
