Alita: Battle Angel General Discussion

/ALITA/
Mediocre movie
fpwp
waifufags were a mistake
you're right, there's a lot of parallels between Chiren and Alita.
please be healed by wholesome alita
Thank you Arita. I wanted to do an old school .webm like back during the 100's threads, but you guys get the reigns from now on. Keep the discussion going!
Okay, but see the movie.
Meet Up #3:
March 27- Saturday
-Meet up at the Moreno Valley Mall at 3:00
- Drive to shooting Range
- Go to the Round one after
- (Possibly) Eat at a Denny’s
In the last thread alitists were talking about a meetup. I'll go. Will be there after 9PM, hope that's alright
correct
Just saw this post, 3PM is early so I'll just check the board if you frens are still out
March 27th? You mean April, right?
Fuck, I wish us FL anons could come up with something, I want to do a meet-up, but we're so spread apart all over the state. Once I move this summer, I'd be happy to drive far to do it.
>you take Alita on a cutesy date and in the end you ask her if she wants to go home and cuddle on the sofa while watching a movie
>she gives you this look
What did she mean by this?
i really hope I can make it out to this guys. I'll do my best as an user 300 miles north of you guys.
Fuck I mean April my bad
That line delivery made me laugh out loud in a good way when I first heard it in cinemas. Also that's what I meant about the vertical entrance. It's genuinely inhuman and is a good counterpoint to Ido's groundhugging ways. If Ido's hiding while waiting from Romo would have been entirely negated by access to that third dimension. We even see with Alita watching over the corner from the top. Cyborgs have a unique point of view compared to the humans in the film. Hugo's desire to watch from above foreshadows his eventual transformation in to a cyborg. You can contrast it with Vector, whose view is stable, rather than stepping over the vertical edge in to the overhanging Y-axis.
>Ok. Sure!
>tfw Alita is such a qt that even minute fidgets are adorable.
Honestly like regardless of whether you like lewdposting or not anyone who lewds doll Alita is objectively wrong. The daughterfu vibes are so strong that it's almost overwhelming in scenes like this.
The only time lewd seems at all appropriate is later on when she's basically and adult, but in the doll body, it just seems wrong.
even in berzerker body, Alita is so pure that anything lewd seems antithetical to her whole character.
Eh, shes goes through like 5 years of mental maturation throughout the filme. Doll body Alita is teenage like and naive. Berserker Alita is confident and a little more womanly, thus lewdable.
Yeah and even then per the film canon you should wait until she has time to overcome the immense heartbreak post-movie. That's why blatantly refuse to write lewds of anything earlier than around a year or two after the film.
Alita did not meet them, they did not influence the plot, but Iron City continued to live and behind the back of Alita the Iron City Stories continued.
I'm just waiting for someone to come in with the usual
>yOu'Re aLL PeDOs
Yeah, I'm fine with berserker stuff, it's before that even I don't care for it.
fucking kek now i'm imagining cyborg tarantion cussing out people of machinery
oh fuck that's a greentext idea one sec
I will never not be.
it's bound to happen. We at least deflect these retard though.

And I need to sleep.
Ido hand repaired.

No Factory clemency, no Motorball credits, I'm going to get fucking hunted, okay? And I don't want to fucking hunted! Now man, you fuck, I wanna help you, but I don't want to lose my life doing it, all right?
I tried
sleep well fren i appreciate your work
Good night fren!
Tarantino and Rodriguez would love this.
it's especially appropriate with their friendship
if only Brie expressed emotions like this all the time
based
and I missed a word in the middle just fuck me up
Well you tried, don't be too hard on yourself. Actually, do more, another goldmine of content.
hmm I'll have to go through my tarantino catalog and think about it
glad u like it fren
Today the China fans have to say goodbye. The end of an era for Alita is here guys, but until next time. More pictures of the screenings will show up soon, a ton of cities have organized meet ups.
I now realize my life is a comedy.
very sublte
I know it's gay to be genuine but please don't feel that way user. I hope you're just joking.
how do you have 402 threads for one shitty cartoon ripoff
Get out of here leaf
Is it just me, or is it getting crazier out there?
That's a line in the trailer, user.
kek it's an actual leaf. did you forget to drop your name before shitposting here?
we're gonna hit #999 you bitch
your days are counted
mlemmlemmlem
Fuck, why did this make me audibly laugh hard
thank you cute and wholesome pepe
So, how fucking magical is your Saturday night, Anons? You celebrating Easter tomorrow?
Just meditating and drinking a little. Trying to figure out what I'm gonna do tomorrow.
pretty comfy user. Watching The Matrix, having a couple beers. It's a good night.
just shitposting until i fall asleep, and probably an easter lunch with family tomorrow
Goddamn these are funny, more!
>STOP
Joker took the chocolate bar from the child and Alita chases after it.
On the way, they beat Batman, so as not to interfere in Adult Affairs.
>tfw I'm driving possibly 10 hours tomorrow just to watch our girl in 3D for the last time
catalog the experience and make sure you feel extra /healed/ on behalf of those of us who can't go
sorry fren, I wasn't trying to make others feel. do you need to vent about shit?
Holy shit, if you're going that far, you should record it on video, document it. That's not just doing to see a movie, that's a journey.
requesting an alita version of this reaction picture
I should clarify that it's 5 hours there and 5 back
I'll scour my pix but Alita is a merciful girl.
nah i'm just meming fren i'm ok. i'm probably gonna start dating again soon so that's exciting(?)
use the AlitaPathetic.png
Excuse me Doc, but it does not wait.
Fuck me these are fantastic.
we have yet another film folded in to the alitaverse
why do most men love Alita? is it because of how feminine vulnerable and strong she is? she really resonates with a lot of 30 year old boomers
does she represent what we've lost with modern women?
Why is it so easy for me to imagine Joker and Alita as friends or a couple?
Batman becomes Zapan.
"It seems the Joker was not completely frank with you."
I actually like her more as an action movie protagonist who is allowed to have a more complex character than just 'smash enemies and quip'. The whole waifu thing isn't really for me.
Yes, the history of women can end here.
Well I'm aged below 20... sooo I wouldn't know. :)
hey, that's a good thing bro! Be a good dude and treat your date right.

That's gonna be a BIG TEXAS SIZED YIKES for me dawg
oh hey it's you again. don't you get bored of posting this every thread?
A wholesome smile for a wholesome healing.

K, so about 5 posts per user, which is a conversation. Problem? They pick up as threads go on.
I'm 28 and I don't want to attribute my own relationship bs to a movie. I like Alita because she's as committed to a relationship as I have been. I've always been 'all or nothing' and it's bit me in the ass. It's nice to see a girl (even a cyborg) be just as idealistic and get burned by it and still be forced to continue living.
>don't you get bored of being repetitive
LMFAO BRUH
Coming from one of you guys that's so hypocritical that it's actually hilarious.
so your argument is that you think we're shit, but also that you're shit because you're doing the same thing? that kinda argument sucks man
In part, perhaps.
All my girls were somehow athletes.
Alita she attracts some moral hardness.
That which is not with me.

>Implying that caring about a film and sharing media and content about it is the same as posting the same disparaging comments thread after thread
You've yee'd your last haw, partner
also, don't be misogynstic. I'm sure many women could relate to Alita as a woman. Hollywood is just hopelessly skewed against women who maybe want a committed relationship and portray them as opportunistic jerks.
Everytime.... It amazes me people like you exist.

Sometimes I just stagger back in utter awe of the level of autism that is on public display in these threads. It's truly more autistic than /r9k/ or /mlp/
Incredible. Absolutely incredible. I can't fathom how you people function in every day society.
What's the ideal posts to unique IPs ratio? The closer you get to 1:1 and the less of a point there is to even have a thread, you know? The very nature of general should incentivize people to post more than once and have "regulars"

There's a reason Yea Forums banned generals, fucko.
They devolve into attention-whoring, namefagging, hugboxing, and repetitive memery that has absolutely no substance.
Alita threads put all of these issues on blatant display.
Thank you based Thread Man!
he's just enjoying the (you)s
I function better than you, obviously bitch.
Loving that my entire case was proven just 2 posts later:
Well by the same logic there must be a reason these threads still exist.
You only helping us along, user. You do know this, right?
was this movie that good that it deserves a daily thread?
If we've made it to 400, then yes.
if there's enough people to post in it and keep it alive, and if they jannies don't nuke it, then by simple definition it deserves to exist. i don't understand why people struggle with this concept so much
name us a better movie that deserves as much love as Alita,
If anything, I'm glad the threads are smaller. They're just powerful enough to keep going, but not obnoxiously huge to bring in all kinds of autism. Wouldn't want it much bigger or smaller.
The answer is no. These threads have nothing to do with the movie and everything to do with a fascination over the pubescent main character who vaguely resembles a real person but is Disney-fied just enough to tweak the brains of the some people who were wired wrong. It has something to do with the eyes and her bizarre smiles that trigger something deep in these people and makes them act like little kids who only barely veil their degenerative sexual desires.
Y'all psychopaths idolizing a literal terrorist.
You should be ashamed.
That, or I just like the movie.
Little kids with degenerative sexual desires? Is there such a thing?
You'd think more of Yea Forums would be on board with this film since they used to love James Cameron, but reddit has really stormed this board. A shame.
Look at it and decide for yourself.
This film is not a golden coin to please everyone.
the attack on the moon was justified
500 000 civilians!
Although Yoko has been dead for three hundred years.
I think a lot of anons agree with you fren
Friendly reminder that Avatar was the test bench for Alita
oh here he is: didn't take long
It's all in the past now, doesn't count.
big words coming from a BITCH
You guys actively murdered this movie's reputation with these threads. Your unbridled autism and constant obsessive posting made a lot of people, myself included, steer way the fuck clear of it. It's based on anime, so it's first hurdle was overcoming the "weeb" angle. You guys and your incessant autistic circlejerks in these threads permanently branded this movie as a top weeb movie.
The "cute posting" "fren posting" and weird sexual stuff you guys do is absolute confirmation that this is just another piece of anime trash that appeals only to people who put forth no effort socially.
You guys killed this movie. You guys. Not Disney, not Marvel, not Brie Larson. You guys. You hugged it to death like you've probably done to more than a few other things in your lives.
CYBORG BITCH!
>murdered this movie's
Absolutely, do not care.
Man, this is some top quality bait. I'm open to criticism and improving, but woah, that's a lot of projecting there, user.
Uhh, sweetheart? This is 4channel, we have no impact on how the general public views the movie.
I also enjoy a fine pasta every now and then.
The most that comes out of Yea Forums and influences outside media are greentexts and occasionally OC's get taken. Otherwise, we have very little say.
Think of all the healing these generals have provided, though. If it could be quantified, it would be enough to save lives.
at least jerome is showing effort.
Yeah you guys usually just plug your ears and scream that you don't care whenever you're confronted with a cogent argument which is contrary to the spirit of these threads.
It's exactly what an autistic person does. They drown out negative stimuli with verbal outbursts or physical blocking. Rather than confront the negative judgment which would in turn force them to confront the reality of their behavior, they drown out reality itself.
With each of these threads more damage is done to that which you profess your love to. Like an obsessive girlfriend who drives her partner away out of sheer affection, your misplaced and manic adoration is exactly contrary to its intention.
They've really doubled down on trying to assassinate this general lately. I wonder what the occasion is?
Easter holidays?
Hmm, ok that makes sense.
>cogent argument
>Your unbridled autism and constant obsessive posting made a lot of people, myself included, steer way the fuck clear of it.
Holy shit, this is rich.
I do not care about you.
This is a deflection tactic. Just so you know.
This is also a deflection tactic. Just so you know.
Poor mice have an asshole blazing, from the realization that no one is discussing their shit movies.
Do you happen to used to live in an absurdly spacious sewer? read some Nietzsche recently?
we already have
please present your cogent argument user i'm listening
The eyes are creepy af
>all around me are familiar faces
That sums up most of the prerelease feelings among general audiences and a large reason the film didn't get much positive media coverage. Cameron and the crew even knew this.
is this based on your experience watching the trailers or the film itself? because the eyes were changed between trailer and release
See what I mean? You just cry and whine and throw feces around when confronted with a fact you can't rebuke
Clean your fucking rooms, get a haircut, put on a suit, get a job, grow the fuck up.
At what point did we throw a tantrum? Ho lord, you are entertaining.
>trying to project your failings on to me
Typical autist behavior. You have no self awareness.
>the eyes are creepy
>subjective opinion
>fact you can't rebuke

Who else but madmen could come up with such dank memes?
Damn it, if only the pre-order didn't sell out for the smaller Hot Toy. I wanted to get it. Hopefully they go back in stock by the end of the year.
I really like the music in both these scenes, I know one user kept mentioning the second one where she shows off her berserker body.
>I WILL NOT STAND BY IN THE PRESENCE OF EVIL
I need blue ray.
doing God's work, user
I'm obsessed with the film being in proper black and white now. I think it ends up looking so good because the film actually took time to get lighting correct. Something like Civil War would look like shit in black and white, but when there's proper shadows, light sources, and depth, black and white can really compliment the image. That's why Fury Road looks good with it. And Rodriguez knows how to shoot without color, i.e. Sin City.
Any other scenes you want?
have you already done the scene where she swims to the alien ship and unveils the berserker body? whatever relevant part you can fit within 30s-1mn
Haven't yet, but two parts of that scene would make for great music .webms.
I actually agree, the movie was mediocre taken as a whole, Alita the character and Rosa's performance were 10/10s though and I think Alita the character shines through the mediocrity surrounding her.
Care to elaborate user? What didn't work around her?
Is Last Order really worth taking a look at? It goes on forever.
>forever
It's 19 volumes. That's not a lot by any metric.
I don't really have the time since I'm about to leave for work, but suffice it to say that the rest of the movie feels like a 3-5/10 Rodriguez movie ala spy kids, Machete, and Planet Terror and not his better 7-8/10s like Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Desperado, From Dusk Till Dawn, or Sin City. However the Alita character while she doesn't elevate the stuff around her or hold it up as a pillar she shines through as a beacon. It feels akin to the Rock in all his B-grade crap he stars in, the movie he's in is still trash but the Rock's charisma shines through it. I felt that with Alita, I'd watch Alita movies even if they were crap because Alita was in them like I did with Skyscraper, Rampage, Hercules and all that other B-Grade crap he keeps starring in.
I would say the same about Bruce Lee as well. I like Alita the character as portrayed by Rosa on that level.
Doesn't exactly answer my question, but I GUESS I get your perspective. Alita is a great character. I think the film is well above any of Rodriguez's other work, including Sin City.
>torrent when
Your subreddit is very cool, guys!
Probably not for another month. There's a camrip if you want it.
drawfrens been busy shipping cans damn man.
Here are the two parts of the scene. This shot of her walking up to the URM ship looks gorgeous in black and white.
truly a blessed by the repeating 9 post, thank you based user
I start my new job working with severely autistic kids tomorrow, any advice you guys can give me straight from the source?
Retconned in favor of far more fucked up flashback. Based Kishiro.
They're probably going to be much smarter than you so try not to be too insecure about it and accept your inferiority.
oh hey didnt you start that job like 200 threads ago?
Will he make a cameo in the sequel?
Has he made a cameo in any of his films?
At least I'll have better taste in film lel
He was the voice of one of the fighter pilots in true lies? I think?
yes
Well, sorry I can't stay much longer, but I need to go to bed. I've been up for nearly 23 hours and I've been in these threads awhile. Got big stuff planned, wish I could've gotten them out now. Good night anons!
It was his hands in Titanic drawing Rose naked since Dicaprio after spending 6 months training still couldn't get the basics down enough for the shot.
He might have been, but that's the only one I can think of.

Oh shit nevermind.
>sequel
sleep well and see ya when you have the stuff done!
Nope, totally not jealous of China fans. This isn't a special made token for people who came to the final screenings.
And with that, the last China screenings are finished. Alita has ended her run in China. Say something nice to the absolutely based bros over there.
Thanks to the based chinkazoids for getting our girl to 400, if there is a sequel we have nobody except for them to thank
Damn, that's some serious fanbase they got there.
They're dedicated as fuck over there. I really wish we could send a direct thank you to them, they're going to get us a sequel all by themselves.
They deserve to conquer the western world
thank u mr China i would learn mandarin to thank you if i could
At this point, I agree. Bring on the China overlords and Alita sequels. They have better taste than us.
This isn't a shill post
Why is pooh-bear wearing a suit and tie? Get out of that suit you silly old bear!

I get off early so it’s cool
It’s a bit of a drive for me so I’ll probably catch up with you all at the arcade
I’ll be waiting outside the door. If anons from previous meets are going they’ll recognise me
I'm on my phone right now so I have nothing but I have a little idea for one that I'll make especially for (you) later
You're asking the wrong guy, I don't know, but it is monsterously offensive to mine eyes.

Oh fuck yeah, I love it when they do that.
Rosa would take that as a compliment and understand

Those big eyes made me fall in love with Alita. I can't believe it actually worked out so well for her.
Anyone know if the movie has reached the budget for a sequel?
Christ is risen. Alita is ascendant. Nova Kino in 30 minutes. After this, we only have NO RULES TUESDAY, and Thursday as the final chances - unless they add even more dates later.
What are you going to do
Yes it has

Night, sleepyhead.
Guns are no good in Iron City, Alita. PS: Zapan a bitch.
Easter Sunday lookin real slow, hope everyone has a good time with family, if not you got us.
Leeta I love you but I like guns too, can we come to some type of compromise?
>Everyone's too sleepy to stop me from claiming the thread coin!
I assume you're going to go to church and put the coin in the offering plate, user?

Seems fitting.
Had a good time with family, ate cake with jelly beans on it. But now I'm here. Do you think there's jelly beans in Iron City?
There better be some jellybeans in Alita's basket.
Jelly beans, best beans.
>church and christcucks
we have been healed from false gods user
I wanna see Alita get all dressed up and take her to church on Easter though
I'm sure they had sex of screen
Uh oh...
This can't be good.
She can't do that stuff, user.
Are you sure?
I guess it was just a matter of time before rule 34 kicks in. Inevitable in retrospect.

Would do but I'm out atm :((
no worries my fren
It's not even deleted yet. You disappoint me, alitans...
I couldn't afford proper dilators so I just use carrots
The plot is formulaic and predictable. The writing is poor, the acting is subpar for anyone but Alita herself, Mahershala Ali, Waltz and Connelly at times. The cgi is pretty most of the time, but seldom engaging and it feels intangible. The characters and most of the environments feel weightless. The story's structure is not fitting for a stand-alone film, but could work well in a trilogy, as that's obviously what they're planning.
Nyeh, what's up doc?
Do not Christ-chan /ourgirl/, please
Well it is definitely relying on the sequel being made, and I feel like the 2nd movie would be more easier to create given that the world and characters are well established. Allowing Robert and Jim more freedom to create a "Better movie" as you say.
Yes, they are comfy sized
Too lewd for this thread

>I don't have my recepie book on me as I'm on my phone.
>Sorry Ali
You think Zapan and Grewishka were poorly acted? Hugo was kind of flat at first but his confession in the church was well-done and so was the scene where Alita wakes him up in his apartment, Johnson infused the scene with a lot of subtle tension as Hugo was torn between wanting to be with Alita and his dream of Zalem and the crimes he was committing to make it happen.
The plot is a hero's journey, but a very unique twist on it combining elements of Pinocchio, Gnosticism, Christianity, cyberpunk, Dickensian exaggerated characters and dystopian sci-fi. What other films would you say are substantially similar? I'll grant that a hero with amnesia is a common plot device, but it's done very well here and it ties in perfectly with the overall themes of the story.
The CGI feels intangible and weightless? Are you trolling? The motorball sequences have some of the most believable CGI physics I've ever seen, way better than Marvel movies where nothing appears to have any inertia. I remember a scene of Thor flying through the air, lifting his apparently weightless hammer, and bringing it down to create a shockwave in the middle of a group of mooks who lift off the ground as though something was pulling them instead of tumbling like they were hit with a wave of force. Alita is night and day compared to that.
SOON
I am spending easter with family and girlfriend, next week I'll draw/heal more
