She's easy to cutout, high contrast. Go for it.
Nice OP
Give me a few hours to digest my food first. Otherwise I'll vomit to death.
k, I'm just gonna grab dinner first so give me 20 minutes
Star Wars IX trailer TOMORROW
Boy, you fucked up, OP.
Might as well keep adding to it to make it the best for the next thread.
I'm working on a Crow cut out as we speak.
>no Todd
REEEEE
Who took my humble comfycamp.jpg and turned it into this masterpiece? I must shake your hand, user.
The Alita social media teams have really been dropping subtle hints.
>Alita is fighting back!
>Posted the day Captain Marvel is released
>Are you prepared for battle?
>First tweet since the Disney merger
>Alita Experience page liked lots of Anti Captain Marvel posts

For the user from the last thread
Hello new bread. Please be healed by Arita getting comfy in her cute little tent.
this is for next bread, for sure.
nice OP
rest of Yea Forums must be wondering what the fuck is going on in here
VIII was a tire fire on top of a broken sewer pipe why should I give a fuck
here's a cute for timafren
Feel free to use this for new bread when anyone ain't got no fresh OC lying around.
(Saw this as i was posting)
Huh that looks a lot better, nice work ty for help :D
Save this for the nexter thread, not next but one after.
>hugo...
>jackin' off cyborgs...
>your girlfriend might take that a bit personally, dontcha think..?
And fooling around with Hugo.
Oh that's beautiful thanks user
YES!!! MOAR, MOAR!
Re-Posting this OC some kind user made last bread.
Based Zapan poster but also a BITCH
And they say we don't make good OC here
>rest of Yea Forums must be wondering what the fuck is going on in here
That's everyday, user.
oh no doubt
still this OC is on another level of "what the shit is that about"
Our internal conventions are too strong.
I always fucking grin like an idiot on that scene
literally every day which is why we get slammed with bullshit posts. Which we easily ward off.
Okay I'm done now.
Posting all meme-worthy shots of Tima. (pronounced "tee-ma")

Oh hell yeah. That white line really ties it together.
Nice job user
Really aesthetic. I like it.
Okay, fair enough. I'll post the ones you didn't list there.

Well, it's also off-topic. This is still an Alita general, so I mean. If you want to make a Metropolis thread, go ahead, but, not really here.
Not at all interesting.
If I need screenshots, I will make them myself.
just put em in an archive dude that's kinda spammy
I didn't realize that I've just some BuzzFeed looking ass thumbnail, but meh.
And ty to that user, for the color scheme.

Working on a new OC, what're you anons up to? About to hit the weekend and see Alita be hit with another theater drop. Only one step closer to the blu-ray.

>Guess who bumped into Jerome
This blood is not mine
stop posting this tima shit, we have it from the last thread
Oh shit Bucky, what happened to you?
He was one of my favorite one-offs. Absolute legend.
anybody else think Sebastian Stan is not very attractive
I just made an OC and posted it. And waiting on the anons who promised John Wick/Alita wembs
I love that Robert came up with the tune and he played it himself.
youtube.com
21/24
No, you're alone there.
I'll make some soon, did you have any specific ideas for ones?
22/24
>what're you anons up to?
Struggling.
You understand what I have to do? Your spam borders on avatarfagging
>Just don't expect to see him again any time soon.
No one cares about Tima
not doing much right now but I'll probably update the archive in a bit
Some user posted this last night, we were saying this scene would be perfect for webms.
>I'm posting a serious of pics once for OC purposes
>every fucking thread there are people using Mr. Frog, Blondita, and Bucky as avatars
>no word
>I'm the one who's spamming
23/24, motherfucker
24/24
At least those posts are related to Alita. Tima isn't really. Just make an archive of a bunch of pictures and post it. Simple.
Bucky and Blondita don't belong in the same sentence user.
This. zip it and flip it.
Well, at least he's done now.
He's done now I'm going to archive them
I don't think it was that big of a deal but I think we can all agree that there are better ways to share content
Tima is just as related to Alita as Bucky is. Or, I should say she's as related to Alita as K is. And at least she's not capeshit, and she's from an anime/manga.
I don't see how Bucky is even remotely related to Alita
Makes me wonder then, how will we handle the images when the Blu-ray for Alita comes out? We'll be hitting image limit every 2 minutes.
Fair point, but with Bucky, I think it's the way the pictures are used combines them with Alita, rather than it just being a screencap. That's all.
so uh, back to Alita?
In many ways I think Metropolis is one of the closest movies to Alita that gets mentioned on here but basically nobody has seen it yet
>The characters I like is related to Alita the ones I don't are not
You might not be the same user but still, let's not. We can do this with any character in the OP and frankly that would ruin the fun, Jerome style, let's not.
he has that arm, he wouldn't be out of place in the world, unlike some wizard or a demi-god or other shit
I get why K showed up because Blade Runner shares a lot of themes with Alita and I suppose Todd is an extension of that, personally I haven't posted any images that aren't directly related to Alita
>"What did you promise him?"
Well, what did he?
How you holding up /ALITA/? I had an incredible week but a part of me is sad because my girl left cinemas for good in my area
I wish he could play it cleaner. It's a really simple melody but I've had a hard time getting that little descending scale run down clean.
Todd and K I totally get, but I think Tima would fit nicely, because she's as closely related as those two, if not more so. I just never saw anyone posting any images at all about Tima, so I hoped that maybe someone would make something out of what I captured. I don't like spamming either, so I suggest whatever we do, it's how we do it that's most important and we keep everything to s sensible level.
I think any superhero character is completely out of place in Alita and I'm sure that James Cameron would agree with me
Personally I'm not much of a fan of Grievous, because it reminds me of SW and I hate SW. Yet I've said nothing, last thing we need is someone whining about why X character is there, we've all implicitly agreed that they all make sense in some way.
Voiceanon's girlpussy
I like how contained this general is, thank you for not shitting up the board alitafags, I appreciate it
>Alita Arizona Cans
I'm tired right now, but I'm pretty happy right now.
By the way drawfren, I sent you the e-mail to get my Kansas Bar glass.
>that webm
finally! I've been wanting to see this specific shot for a while now. Crazed-Alita is best Alita. The only time she does it again is right before Grew attacks her in the Kansas and it's extremely blink/miss it.
Um, thanks.
Grievous wouldn't be that out of place in Alita because he's basically a bag of organs in a robot body but yeah we should keep Star Wars out of Alita
More importantly, K/Todd/Dredd posting isn't to detract from the Alita-discussion. It's to highlight the similarities, which there are lots of.
I mean I'm not forcing this shit personally, but it doesn't really bother me
We're trying our best, keeping it contained is not as hard as keeping it from getting trolled to death though so I'm glad you're not a buzzkill
>"Arizona cans? But I wanted to go to Zalem."
an user said something like this maybe a week ago. Thanks stranger. We try to keep it contained and I think we do pretty well.
I'm responsible for bringing 2 characters here, I think they all fit in some way, again. Hating on one would start a very stupid and unnecessary argument.
>It's to highlight the similarities, which there are lots of.
All can be said with Metropolis and Tima.
A sequel.
Face it, could any of you resist?
I think a cartoon and a SW character are out of place.
Nobody cares.
Okay okay guys, we can do all the characters, it's just the context the characters are used.
I agree with you there but just as long as we're restricting it to movies that are related in some way, I like a lot of those other movies but that doesn't mean I want to see them all over the thread
IN AWE
Here's a very, very shitty Crow cut-out I did.
Best I could do. :/
>I think a cartoon character is out of place
pretty sad as well desu
I haven't seen Alita yet. Should I read the manga first?
i just found this thread and why are you guys sperging over a shitty movie
its because the girl is hot isnt it
Zekka is literally Lobo though.
Well, at least you tried.
OVA Alita gets a pass, because cute.
I'd watch the anime first (it's on youtube) but the manga is excellent
maybe go see the movie user
I did. The visuals were lackluster, story cliche and dialogue awkward. The only redeeming quality was the girl was hot.
Maybe, I don't like the insane power creep that Last Order had going on but at least Zekka is actually part of the series
>Hey Alita, I heard one of your anons was talking shit
>Oh just ignore them. They're very silly sometimes
danke. Now I have something to watch in bed.
Tima is also a cute, mechanical anime girl.
Just saying.
Yeah, but see the movie first, not just the trailer.
>lackluster visuals
haha ok user seriously though go see the movie
Maybe I'll watch that movie, it looks good.
What's this from?
based chinese one upping us in everything we do
poor landau acting like your average Yea Forums user
That is too fucking cute.
ok now that's not even Bucky that's just a guy
same reason Orville generals puffed in and out of existence a bunch of purity obsessed pedos ogling over a "waifu" that technically isn't real so she can't be tainted
>Just a guy?
^^^ this
He's not even in character...unless you're implying Sebastian Stan is a cyborg IRL.
sneed?

Metropolis is great and I'm upset because it was up on youtube until yesterday and I wanted to watch it again because it's been a while
WEAPONS-GRADE-CUTE. There needs to be an edit with /alita/ on the interviewer giving Rosa a collage of our comfiest memes.
It was taken down? Isn't Metropolis public domain by now?
John Wick isn't related either user seriously at least shop him into a picture with Alita
Metropolis is really fitting, it has the same ending as this one but with the roles reversed.
youtu.be
Based Thread Man
360 DEGREES, BABY! /ALITA/ GONE GLOBAL LIKE DAT GLOBAL BOX OFF, KNOW WHAT I'M SAYIN'??
The original Metropolis is, but that was the anime adaptation from 2001 that user was posting pics from earlier
This warms my cold, shrivelled heart.
We are being taken over
Not the 1927 back-and-white live action, the 2001 color anime with the same name (and very similar themes and plotpoints but is not a remake)
That's an interesting approach to have with an Alita pic as you reaction image. Almost like you've seen a thread like this before...
Okay, I didn't mean do gatekeeping, just spamming something in general isn't good.
I wanna suck the burrito gas out of this bitches ass my nigs
As if reaction pictures poking fun at something are rare here. A SW character is up there, now someone wants to add a cartoon. Last thing is we need are anons here turning into Jerome by complaining about retarded shit.
Oh right. Never saw that one.
thanks Todd
Thoughts?
By who?
>So what if I am
That was the cutest :3
shit movie. discuss
We only had one spammer today, with a cartoon, the other characters were not spammed once.
Well these threads are officially too autistic for me.
When the majority of posters are too caught up in the status of individuals posting in the threads, rather than discussing the film, thats too much for me. Thanks for the heals, /ALITA/.
Ill miss you.
wholesome and would be a good general image. Use it for next bread.
"I love it!"
Lets rate the namefags from most to least cancerous
Thanks.
I'm sorry
youtube.com
No user, how about we actually discuss the movie?
Yeah it's almost like someone is trying to start shit.
Yeah we definitely need to keep spamming to a minimum, and all anons are welcome just as long as they help keep the threads going, we shouldn't fight amongst ourselves
>jerome trying to change tactics
Yes, Captain Marvel is a rare shit.
Even nothing to discuss.
>the manga is excellent
Why are you lying?
It's not "bad" but it's far from excellent and it's really, really long. So long that it's still running.
Tima.
She's so cute
def not his only post, look up.
Is there something you want to discuss user? I try to start discussions too.
>now someone wants to add a cartoon
yeah, an ANIME/MANGA character, kinda like Alita. Oh, what's that? This character is also a young girl with incredible power from a dystopian future of people and mechanized people and there's a hierarchy of levels? Interesting.
We have to draw the line somewhere. That would be the equivalent of me posting pictures of the VA or the animator of the 'cartoon' character instead of the 'cartoon' character.
Jerome is not singular, that much is certain. Jerome is a collective of anger and frustration. A cry out in the night against weebery and autism. A clenched fist eager to beat upon the skull of these pedophiles in the name of all that is good and virtuous in this nightmare world.
Jerome is the will of God.
I think we're getting back on track so I'd stay a while if I were you just to see if we can get things going again, but if not then it was nice to have you around user
Never be
Does anyone have a webm of the scene where Alita tells Ido that she's not his daughter?
I wouldn't say 'taking over' but it's definitely being over done. If there's similarities fine but none of the other character crossovers we've used have been eating up image limit. And often times, the've been co-opted into Alita related memes.
bullshit, they're spammed every other thread. Bucky is the worst.
Also, say 'cartoon' with your dismissive tone again. One more fucking time.
Fight me in real life, meatboy
Length doesn't make something bad though.
>but it's far from excellent
Why are you telling a lie?
Original masterpiece.
And the original is finished, even if the author was forced the final.
Would you guys stop? Posts like this is why a lot of anons have left the general. I would like to actually discuss the movie for once.
You won't be missed, Jerome.
Most cancer - Jerome
Based - everyone else
I think the manga is excellent, you disagree, that's fine, but that doesn't make me a liar
>taking the time to write this absolute wankery
I can make one in a minute.
Many characters and their actors were introduced before as simply reactions or OC with literally zero problems and people were enjoying them. One fag spams this girl and division starts.
You don't need to justify anything, just don't start shit for no reason and everything will be fine.
What a stupid fucking comment. He never implied that, dummy.
He said it was bad, AND IN ADDITION to it being bad it's really long. Meaning you'd have to endure its badness for an extra long time, which concurrently adds to its badness.
The reading comprehension in these threads is atrocious.
I might be in the minority but I feel like the visuals looked best on Alita in this scene. Her expressions and that quick walk away as the sun lit up her hair; it just looks so fucking good.
>Look at me I'm not Jerome at all
Excellent response user
Yeah but you didn't offer any other criticisms than the length.
Ok so outside of Alita, what's everyone's favourite cyborg design in the film?
Cranked it out off the fuckin dome in like 45 seconds my dude. I'm flattered that you found it so well written that you assumed it took me any length of time to do.
Imagine if you had my skills and were able to apply them to your Alita fanfics. Just imagine how awesome that would be.
I have never seen such piercing eyes in manga.
Cute, Jerome, you've taken to creative writing. How nice.
Thanks
The "thanks for bringing us the guuurrlll" dude.
Zapan's is the best looking but I like Screwhead because if you're already a cyborg then why not give yourself two extra arms?
obviosly guitar man. What I'd give for a 3rd arm and tireles trempicking fingers.
The manga has a bit of a rushed and sloppy ending, Kishiro; the author, had a rough spot in his life thought he was dying after a medical issue, figured he'd finish off the story as fast as possible leaves the original run with a pretty lackluster ending. He went back and gave it a happier ending a little while later, then a few years after that he reconnected the new happy ending and made a sequel series "Last Order".

>Alita threads will endure even Endgame

Zapan's is probably my favorite, and the "OH NO" guy in the alleyway is sick looking.
Zapan and Screwhead, the rest aren't that great.
>And believe me friends, I've read A LOT of manga. Like way too much. Like worry my parents amounts of manga.
We have a photo of Jerome.
didn't know this was a thing
is there any Alita promo merch worth buying? don't want to hang on to some empty Arizona bottle
Stinger's motorball body was pretty badass. makes sense him and screwhead are the final fight boss of sorts.
you are what a 14 year old thinks a cool dude talks like lol
> I'm flattered that you found it so well written
I called it wankery you silly goose but keep shitposting I know you like being here because it's the only time people pay attention to you.
There's a couple pieces of Alita merchandise. Just look online, there's the art book, some figures from Weta, the usual Funko Pop, the Hot Toy coming out later this year, etc.
This guy's name is Romo. He's a favorite of mine as well.
I fucking hated romo whats wrong with all of you
Perhaps not enough, but many.
I think it's his performance that really sells it. It's so corny, but it's right out of an anime, I get giddy every time he speaks.
We don't all have to like the same side-character, Jerome. You're entitled to your objectively wrong opinion.
Romo was unfortunately underused. I thought his delivery was SUPER corny at first but after 16 times I realized it was just the right amount of over-the-top needed.
NICE SHOT
>piercing eyes
yeah Alita's got some serious peepers
Aside from people crying about Alita's eyes and the Uncanny Valley do we know what the general test audience response to the movie was?
You know what Jerome, you're all right. You've become such a cornerstone of these threads I really hope you never get bored.
What is wrong with burgers honestly? Durinng eurofag hours the thread is so comfy and chill, bar the obvious Jerome that pops in and calls us all pedos. ( The usual). Every night /day, same time you guys always fight about stupid shit...
Was there even a test screening?
That can't be Jerome because that implies that he's significant in some way
Jerome-kun is so dense...

Sneeda: Battle Farmer
>What's wrong with burgers
As a burger?
Almost everything.
Yeah, I noticed that last night, the threads are much more discussion based and comfy and loving at night when the AU fans are on, and I'm a burger. I guess the fans in the US just fucking crave drama.
the subtlest work yet jerome
he won't. He's lasted longer than all of them. Even manga-purist has faded away. Jerome is truly here for the long haul. /alita/ accepts all, even if they don't accept us.
>piercing eyes
Sad
Full of despair.
Happy
Lovers.
Alita's eyes can use any expression.
Unintentionally accurate in that y'all are drawn to my unimaginably powerful presence. There is no escape from me. Nothing can destroy me.
I am that which swallows the light of these threads. Devourer of weebs.
So, I'm kinda out of the loop, Who won Alita or Marvel?
What about Samus? They could hunt bounties together.
Maybe not but we know what James Cameron's response to theirs was.
Marvel won the box office. Alita won our hearts.
I'd say replace Astro Boy with Tima. Or let them both be in it.
Wish I saw more RoboCop and The Crow OC.
Also as some actual in depth movie discussion: what parts of the movie improved on subsequent viewings, and what parts did not? Extra credit if you specify on which being number things changed.
I totally see Samus playing Motorball
She could be the Motorball
this. poor guy gets a feature, never hear from him again. one shot, no kills
Box Office: Marvel
Every Other Conceivable Metric: Alita
Samus is a cute idea. Her and Tima can be on probation.
Watch this then
>so many characters that many of them are barely developed and only exist as a single personality trait
>a couple of characters that we are really supposed to care about like Figure are not developed enough to the point that I cared what happened to them
>so many filler chapters
>so many rushed endings
>there are a lot of sci-fi concepts that are just thrown in because Kishiro thought they were cool like the Jovian wormhole
>also a lot of esoteric, specifically Japanese concepts thrown in like multiple space karate disciplines
>two entire volumes of Last Order dedicated to a flashback about unironic vampires
>hahahahaha the ZOTT
There is a good story buried in the Alita series that I enjoyed on some level and that story is starting to really come out in Mars Chronicle, I just wish it wasn't necessary to read everything else to get there.
Oh buddy...it was a massacre. An absolute blood-bath. Like descending upon an army of Romans with apache attack helicopters. To insinuate that it was any sort of a competition is a gross mischaracterization of the one-sided slaughter.
Alita is the better movie for sure but man in terms of dollars it makes me sick to think about.
>inb4 you guys call him Jerome and make fun of his well-thought out criticisms
GET EM BOYS
BURN THIS HERETIC
Shit, a ton of things improved on multiple viewings. The ending got way better on repeat viewings. I wasn't sure what to think with how it ended on a blatant cliffhanger, but on subsequent shows, I get why it was done and what it symbolizes. Other than that, a ton of the foreshadowing I caught. It's hard to remember what my first viewing was like because I've seen the movie so many times.
I think there is generally quite a few less anons on around that time which helps I guess, but I just found it funny it's always US hours when the thread picks up then derails with fights.
Did it flop, that hard? How strange people seem so obssesed with it
I won't. An user can have his complaints.
biggest improved?
>Chiren/Alita compared.
Alita struggles and basically fails in everything she sets out to do at first but overcomes every obstacle eventually on her own terms. She determinates. Chiren while talented, is shrewd and is content to let others offer her ways to advance and risks little personally besides her own morals. Which by the time the story begins seem to be completely eroded. Just as Alita heals Ido and Hugo, she eventually heals Chiren.
Trying to think of another aspect I had a new appreciation for; there's definitely a few.
For me, I like everything the same as the 10th time and every other time before it as the very 1st time. My opinion didn't change. It's like going on your favorite rollercoaster again and again. The only real thing is that my least favorite part of the movie, Hugo leaving the operating table and traveling up the tube, I didn't like the first time. Every time I've seen it since, I tolerate it more, but still not enough to be satisfied with it.
the Centurions are not cyborgs but they are badass as fuck
Well why didn't you just say this to begin with instead of going lol it's long so it sucks xd
>there are a lot of sci-fi concepts that are just thrown in because Kishiro thought they were cool like the Jovian wormhole
>also a lot of esoteric, specifically Japanese concepts thrown in like multiple space karate disciplines
I like both of these. They give the series its identity.
Sure, the more OC we get the better. I didn't make any OC until recently and it was well received despite being kinda shitty.
>manga-purist
I think he was fake. Suppose real purists never watched the movie.
Oh, that'd be great.
>All guns are outlawed in Iron City...But are you gonna be the one to try it? Sure, she's got a bounty mark on her, but nobody's dumb enough to take her on, and she helps Alita turn in bounties.
I don't know, 400 million is pretty good, user.
They are the coolest law-enforcement bots I've seen in a long time.
This is the only movie I have ever heard of where the core fanbase is RABID to the point where it's honestly commonplace in these threads for people to nonchalantly say something like "Well I went to my 12th viewing of Alita today, best one yet!" without them being ridiculed for their obsessiveness.
AND YET, the movie still flopped financially. It's amazing. I've never seen such a disconnect between the general public and the core fan-base.
(You)
It didn't flop at all, $400+ million is damn good for a movie of its kind but it deserved to make a lot more and it doesn't help that everyone compares its performance to the juggernaut that is Marvel
They remind me heavily of the ED-209s
Yeah, I was able to deeply understand characters' and their poetic tragedies in a grand scope on repeats when I knew everything ahead of time. It's a film that takes a couple tries to get everything.
Now that I think about it we could add Briareos too, though I doubt anyone cares enough about him to make OC.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
>Hugo leaving the operating table and traveling up the tube, I didn't like the first time.
it does make sense that he does it though. Zapan rats him out (who else knew he was alive?) and he's still wanted for murder. He doesn't want to endanger Ido or Alita so he desperately tries to escape to the only place where the law won't look for him. It's why he initially tells Alita to not bother since they'll always be on the run.
400 million is a little over half-way to the break-even point (700 million) and just about halfway to the profit line (800 million) and a third of the way to the sequel confirmation point (1.2billion)
It's a flop
Floppety-floppety-floo
There ain't gonna be no Alita twoo-oo-oo
>almost May
I need this to fucking release noooow!
I'm sorry, are you describing Alita: Battle Angel or Dredd?
But I thought Alita needed 6 billion to break even?
Oh yeah, right. Marketing budget. Derp.
It wasn't a flop (it did better than Captain America), it also has a 94% audience score on RottenTomatoes
user, the Blu-ray... isn't coming out until July.
6 gorillion you mean
>AND YET, the movie still flopped financially.
Except it didn't. It is past break-even point and is in low profit territory, so, NOT a flop.
>I've never seen such a disconnect between the general public and the core fan-base.
I've never seen such a disconnect between a brain and a skull. Maybe if only your head weren't so far up your ass.
Oy vey! A silverback gorilla's weight in shekels for every Israelite that the Martians gassed!
Oh it's been a long time since I saw this kind of flopposting
anyone have the /alita/ cutout text? i didn't see it in the mega
Break-even was $350M and costs/profit are getting tied in with the Avatar series
if anything most old school manga readers seem to have enjoyed it more or less.
It's such a whirlwind the first time so a couple viewings are necessary for sure. What's even better is that after 16 times it never feels stale and I still feel that sense of wonder as she wakes up, or that adrenaline as her first motorball game begins. Or that fun, excited feeling of the Kansas fight. There is no limit on repeat watches for this movie. It's why it's an old classic like Aliens or T2. I've watched both hundreds of times my whole life and Alita is easily slotting itself next to those. No other modern movie even compares.
You can just skip the last order.
I do not really love him, original completely complete.
But at the same time I consider the final Last Order a masterpiece.
>I've never seen such a disconnect between a brain and a skull. Maybe if only your head weren't so far up your ass.
Thanks for the free keks
Here's a visual representation
I looked at Ido differently. Knowing he was from Zalem, I totally was able to put myself in his shoes and understand why he acted the way he acted. He really wanted to just have Alita as a daughter and not have her go down the warrior route. Sad.
Nigga you finna needa chill.
Low-profit doesn't mean a fuckin thing in Hollywood these days when you can shit out a Marvel movie that literally prints money for the studio. If you aren't pulling hundreds of millions in profit then you've failed in 2019 Hollywood.
You know it and I know it.
Look at this cognitive dissonance. The movie is indefensible.
this is old school shitposting
Aw, Rosa kid so fucking cute.
Don't forget the amount of money this is obviously going to make with the BR/4K
I've got it I just haven't updated the archive in a little while
wtf is zalem?
It's a place you can't get in to. Sorry.
No, I get all that, but there should've been more of a body horror element of him waking up in a totally alien mechanical body. I just wanted him to be half-crazed and zombie-like with Zalem obsession. Or, my God, more emotional, more frantic, something. He almost seemed to chill about the whole thing. He needed to be more manic.
His face as he plummets to his death was terrified and freaking out like it should have been, and Alita's final NOOOOOAAAWWHH!!! was cheesy instead of blood-curdling and tragic, which she did just fine plenty of other times in the movie. That whole scene was sloppy and took a lot out of the earlier scene where Hugo was stabbed.
Okay guys even for you this is kind of crossing the line. Please don't post pictures of literal children.
Super-mega Satan is right, Disney is going to make such huge profits from distributing those discs.
i meant the yellow " /Alita/ " text, but thank you anyways
the bottom half of a space elevator and a quarter of an orbital ring
We're just commenting on how cute she is, you freak.
Your stupidity is abysmal.
I remind you:
>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."
Well it is the actress who plays the main character but yeah I agree
At least I don't spend all my time shilling for a flop. You're not getting those paychecks retard.
this is good shit, ty user
>doubting James Cameron
bold move
Funny how we call it old school shitposting, yet this general is only two months old.
> tfw I wish Alita would’ve succeeded in levels of a capeshit, or even avatar, but if that would’ve happened this special community wouldn’t exist
We’re getting our sequel frens
oops, didin't mean to go to this post.
You're such a moron I doubt you can type on a keyboard without the help of at least 3 people.
>we're just a bunch of grown men commenting on how cute this four year old child is who we have absolutely no connection to whatsoever
And you DON'T see what's wrong with that?
making new thread, give me a min
Oh we are. Cameron is making sure of it.
If it's a flop then why are you even here? We're talking about a movie we all enjoy so based on your own logic you're wasting your time
You're so stupid there is no hope for you to ever understand how retarded everything you're saying sounds to normal people.
Am I the only one who always sees "I-ALITAH?
maybe if the movie were longer, there could've been some angst with him becoming the very thing he spent his life harvesting. It's an interesting angle. But cybernetics aren't super uncommon. As far as their final moments go I think it was fine. I usually don't like slo-mo screams and would've preferred it not to be that way but it doesn't bother me.
I love when you guys look to James Cameron as if he's going to personally fund a sequel. Or demand one get made.
Almost as good as your plan to buy 42 copies of the bluray each which will apparently result in a $150m+ Hollywood movie being made.
nobody is making it weird besides you, you fucking weirdo
You're all cancer and need to leave Yea Forums
You're not discussing a movie, you're writing fanfiction, drawing shitty fanart and doing ERP all day and it's bringing down the quality of the board.
He's tying the cost/profit in with Avatar so he might as well be funding it himself
NEW THREAD
Is that Sam Hyde as santa? KEK
>hey guys it's kinda weird to comment on how cute you think this 4 year old girl is, just saying
>WOW UH COULD YOU BE MORE RETARDED YOU'RE SO DUMB I CANT EVEN EXPLAIN HOW DUMB YOU ARE
Sometimes it doesn't even feel like I'm talking to real people on here.
>tfw there will probably be a sequel
>tfw if there is no sequel, we will always have the one Alita movie we love
>tfw if there is no sequel, members of this community can enter the film industry (some of us work in it already) and collaborate on projects that communicate the same elements we all loved on Alita, into our next work
love you frens.
You've been spoiled too much as a child if you think your whining is going to get you anything here.
Oh yeah, the amazing quality of this board, okay.
fuck the haters
>Low-profit doesn't mean a fuckin thing in Hollywood
Means it's NOT A FLOP. I never said it's a WINNER or SUCCESS or BOX OFFICE SENSATION or SMASH HIT. I'm not claiming any of those things, because it's not.
What I am claiming, with facts and reality backing me, is that it made more than its break-even amount. A 'flop' is when a movie doesn't reach its break-even point.
>shit out a Marvel movie that literally prints money for the studio.
It's all about return on investment. $1billion doesn't mean shit if you spent $900million on the budget. a $30million budget with a $300million box office is WAY better and much more of a SUCCESS than a $1billion movie on a $300million budget. Also, not every movie has to be a $100smillion-$1billion dollar behemoth. Profit is profit, no matter how big or small a venture.
>If you aren't pulling hundreds of millions in profit then you've failed in 2019 Hollywood
So, literally, 95% of successful, profitable Hollywood films are 'failures' in your mind.
>I know it.
You've clearly demonstrated that you know Jack and Shit, and Jack just left town.
Therefore, under no ambiguous terms, Alita: Battle Angel is NOT a flop.
>Sometimes it doesn't even feel like I'm talking to real people on here.
That's how much of a retard you are.
>bringing down the quality of Yea Forums
uh huh
nice user
Jerome?
You asshats have TWO SIMULTAENOUS THREADS RIGHT NOW
This is literally cancer
Neither thread discusses movies, they discuss your memes and your social meet-ups
Why don't you go somewhere else to hang out with each other?
