Absolutely. People can talk shit at him all they like, but I have endless respect for doing what he did. And the fact he was able to say okay and give up on his dream to be with Alita when he knew she was right...A willingness to be able to change and do stuff like that is so important.

It's really good to see a positive example of a healthy relationship, unlike something like ANY of the relationship in, like, twilight, or anime, or really most popular culture
It is an EXCELLENT feel. It's good to see people can change their opinions if they sit there and think about it and listen to reason.

>"Saindon recalls being on a conference call after the trailer had been released and the internet exploded with discussion around the validity of Alita's eyes. "In the next call we had with Robert (Rodriguez) and Jim (Cameron), no one wanted to say anything. Finally I just said, 'hey, so are we doing anything about the eyes?' There was a lot of discussion. We asked if they (Rodriguez & Cameron) wanted us to try something? And, Jim pretty much just said, (and excuse the swearing)... but Jim said, 'fuck the haters'. And he said, ‘we're going to go bigger with the eyes - that's what's going to fix it.’” Cameron was right. What he wanted was not to make the eyes themselves bigger, but to enlarge both the pupils and the iris. It is a very subtle adjustment. Saindon estimates that, “it's probably another 10% on top of what it was from the first trailer,” but when the the irises are actually bigger, and then the pupils inside of the irises are at a default size relative to each other, then they actually filled the scalera a little bit more and so the eyes exhibited less white scalera. "So you saw less white around the eyes and he was right because it was actually the whites around the eyes that was making the eyes feel not quite right,” adds Saindon. It was hard for even the Weta professionals to define what was the issue and he adds what complicated the process further was that, "when you saw still frames, then the bigger eyes didn't really make a difference. But once you actually started seeing in motion and started seeing less of the whites around her eyes, it just made a big difference.”

Hugo is easily better than Yugo. I'll take a likable character who clearly goes through a redemptive arc despite some mistakes over a rude jerk. Yes both are meant to make Alita mature past her first crush but Yugo has no redeeming qualities.

>movie hugo is far superior to manga hugo
No way. Hugo is a actually fleshed out in the manga and has a proper character arc. Why does movie Hugo want to get to Zalem? It's never explained, he's got no backstory in the movie. There's no logic in it either. He's the only one who wants to get to Zalem, why? He's got a decent life at Iron City. He's better off than most others and has a bright future under Vector.

>He's got a decent life at Iron City. He's better off than most others and has a bright future under Vector.
so did Yugo. Vector offers to set him up at a factory. Yugo was probably more loaded than Hugo was yet didn't appreciate where he was at. The grass is always greener and all that.

I couldn't even play capeshit in the background

I meant among Iron City natives. Chiren actually has a reason why she wants to get back there.

Pretty much this, his character was he was sold a dream to go someplace "better," like a golden ticket persay and it corrupted him. In the case of this movie and for his character, it worked.

You think she has a cute snore?

I haven't seen the movie in 2 months and some stuff admittedly went over my head during my first viewing (I was slightly drunk). I have some questions

1. Alita was found on top of the scrapyard so it must have been she was recently dumped there when she was found by Ido. BUT I also remember a scene where she was part of this invasion thing and Ido mentions she's almost 300 years old? so confused by the timeline
2. How did her still human brain survive not only the fall but any amount of time it spent down there?
3. Why does she have taste buds or the ability to process food? yeah it's cute to see her snack on oranges but if her brain still needs to be fed nutrients on a regular basis then this brings back question 2. on how it was able to survive with no damage for so long

Here she's riding in a truck. She's a big girl now.

What a madman!

>"better than this dump down here."
Amazing motivation. How does he know it's better? Vector has a nice life at Iron City, why couldn't Hugo be satisfied with that if his only concern is about better life quality? He never shows the kind of obsession with Zalem that he has in the manga, so there's no real reason to decline Vector's offer.

1. It's possible trash gets moved around in the scrapyard, looking at the tractors and cranes, and she was at the bottom of the pile near ground level, so it's possible she was under a huge pile for trash, and it was just moved.
2. Her brain was encased in that metal skull, so her head hitting the ground didn't damage her brain.
3. The way her brain is powered is different from human brains, and while it needs nutrients to stay healthy, if it was just shut off, it probably wouldn't result in brain damage.
None of my explanations are canon, but make sense.

I'm at work but the thing I was worrying about is mostly resolved I believe so that's good

>Ido mentions she's almost 300 years old? so confused by the timeline
Earth is at war with the URM. Alita was URM and presumably 'died' at some point in this invasion. It's not known when or how she ended up in the scrapyard.
>2
chalk it up to insane URM tech/her strong heart going on standby, I assume.
>3.
again, probably URM tech with 'taste receptors.' If they can engineer a synthetic head body to support her brain and nervous system I don't think it's a huge leap to assume they can give their troops sci-fi taste buds.

I expect it sounds something like this.
youtu.be/A_nJ4Dlr3OI

Your questions are kind of the point, he's blinded by this quest to get there. He doesn't know that it's actually better there, just that he's been told it is. And yes he does show his obsession with Zalem, from the beginning he befriends Alita because he thinks she went there, and the scene where he shows her his secret place, mirrors similar to the way it plays in the manga and OVA.

you do realize I can swing these exact same critiques at you about Yugo right? Why does Yugo give a shit about what's up there when it got his brother killed? It's common knowledge it's a death sentence to make the attempt. Either way, nobody is arguing that Hugo has a better backstory. The main point is that he's likable and Yugo is completely unlikable because he's a stupid, rude, goal obsessed kid. He has no likable qualities. He might have a more explained history but that doesn't mean much if you actively want him gone for being so indifferent to Alita.

I don't consider myself an expert and gnosticism is a very dense area of esoterica. It threatened early Christianity because it was decentralized and in some groups pretty egalitarian. It was seen as heresy as it was essentially 'christian-buddhism' so there's no concise history on it. It has many different off shoots and cannibalizes other mythology. The main tenet though of all it is basically; this material life is an illusion. A prison created by a false, illegitimate god and we are severed from the truth. Gnosis is knowledge of this and escaping the material is your goal.

Well, you'll just have to wait and see for that! Its another one made of threeish parts, like Meditation was, so it should be on the longer side.

I wrote that one. I'll try to dig it up.

same here. It's an interesting subject and I got into it via a couple black metal bands. It's focussed on self-discovery and I think that's maybe why Kishiro made allusions to it and Qabbalistic terms.

What bands are we talking? I've only dipped in to the traditional 90s staples like darkthrone and gorgoroth. I did go to a watain gig recently though that was sick

shit like that, fren. I mistyped with 'Q' as that relates to Hermeticism. Kabbalah is more accurate.

Look at the original names for Zalem and the whole space elevator superstructure

It's okay user! I guess I can give you a quick rundown, if you promise to give me feedback!

what this guy said. Also doesn't Alita become the Tree of Life? I have gotten to that yet but if that doesn't make it anymore obvious Kishiro has an interest in esoterica idk what else will. Gnosticism is rebelling against higher powers that are ultimately evil and false. Kabbalah is a spiritual, self-guided thing. Like chakra points.

how much will music even really change in 500 years? Even in 100? Do people in Zalem just listen to evil orchestral music as they go to work? Do Iron City folk listen to relics that happened to be salvaged and mimic genres from centuries ago?

You fucking nerds. I actually love how much specific knowledge on hobbies the community here has it makes me really happy.

That's just background noise, hardly qualifies as music

Imagine if all the 40 posters that are browsing right now met up at a Denny's. How long do you think the conversations would go?

Attached: 5HoursofFun.jpg (770x400, 43K)

to be fair, that was specifically meant to be alienating and jarring. Penderecki isn't always that abstract. Music is subjective though. It doesn't need to follow a consistent pattern. I consider it music even though there's continual change and it's hard to find a graspable sense of melody. But the melodies are there.

Just finished the manga and loved it, still think I would need to watch the anime before the movie since I don't know half the cast

this might be the right amount of prep-time I need to get down to LA.

Not sure where. We can do at least somewhere in the Hollywoodish area where there's activities, Lancaster had 3D but is kinda out of the way. We can all think about it and solidify in the coming days. Looking forward to anything either way

But I'm already in debt because of this movie

that sounds better actually. I'd be crashing with my brother and I don't want to bug him about driving me somewhere.

this is how I feel when I come home from work. Don't feel bad though. Just ask and somebody can usually sum up what's happened.

Life in the modern world mostly revolves around constantly being in debt for some reason or another. A little more debt won't kill you.

Or in the words of Sir Edwards Longshanks, "Arrows cost money, the debt costs nothing."

Makes sense. Well, just keep checking around, we're still figuring it out.

It blows, but new job soon, hopefully.

Ah you're the application person right? Remeber that it's worth it in the end even if it's hard now

Those anons already met to see the movie on two different occasions so I dunno if you're jealous that we're making friends here or what.
Also these generals are probably going to outlast the discussion for Endgame at the very least so you'd better get used to it.

Alita is the best superhero of our generation. Seriously she does superman almost better than superman. As of her getting the berserker there's not really any realistic threat to her any more on the ground in Iron City but she still can't protect everyone that she cares for because human irrationality overcomes even the greatest power. It's how superman stories should be done

the best side character of course, Zapan

kind of hard to choose honestly. It's kind of a toss of up for Grewishka and Vector for me. I really don't know who I'd pick. Grew is extremely expressive and great over the top villain. Vector is sinister and even more so when possessed.

Again for sheer value compared to screen time, it's gotta be Romo. He builds atmosphere in two lines that sole characters don't get after more than an hour of screen time

Is the 170 million budget before or after the Texas tax rebates? They can get the sales tax back, and also up to 20% of the budget through the Texas Moving Image Industry Incentive Program. The budget of the latter was cut down in 2016 though, so I’m not sure that Alita got the full 20% rebate.

The final budget listed on wikipedia is 170 million, and that's after the tax, so I'm assuming they got the whole thing.

Do you think Edward Norton performed that first and then he tried to imitate Norton's performance?

Supposedly every piece of footage of Norton you see on-screen was filmed in 1 day, so I doubt he had much control over the other actors. They probably referred to his other performances for reference, because the other actors mimic Norton really good.
