On the plus side, this reviewer appears to have actually watched the film, comments from others strongly suggest that they didn't.

Jayden Morgan
These "creatives" are "independent contractors" typically, so they're always hoping to be hired back on some project, and have almost zero protection against being fired. They're constantly trying to pitch ideas. This is how you get this many failed reboots in so few years. But instead of a good idea, trying to impress an executive through virtue signalling online is a more effective way to get hired on to a project.

It is still out in theaters, both in regular 2D and 3D, and in budget thaters, in several countries.
Ryder Thompson
Huh okay, but what have you got against the meet up guys, I know they pretty much dominate the thread when they're is one, but it's not like there's much new stuff to talk about atm. And it help keep life in these old breads.
And more importantly its wholesome.

Only tourists whose vacation on Yea Forums is winding down. Won't be long now till these Alita generals fade away forever.

Well weaboos have zero standards so judging by the amount of generals: the movie is "fine."
Joseph Gutierrez
It's cool
Xavier Kelly
In the sea of today's capeshit saturated market. It is a breath of fresh air, and a good one as well.
Honestly check out the BR rip when it release's, its a fun movie even if you dont end up liking it as much as we do. :)
it will get you laid tho
Carter Howard
It's an honest and heartfelt cyberpunk movie without a hint of irony. It's a cool and heartwarming film which also genuinely believes in its own coolness. The CGI is top notch and our girl Alita is the most likable and relatable sci fi protagonist in years. The film is tight, with no wasted space, and the world it creates is fleshed out while still leaving room for exploration for the future. Though it's not perfect, it's one of the best films I've seen in a long time.
Nicholas Gonzalez
This. Jerome was right. >Reminder to the lurkers. Yea Forums DOES NOT like this pleb trash
>the cycle is never wrong
>plebs come to Yea Forums to talk about it and spew their optimistic and positive opinions about it

>the plebs leave because they have other boards to shitpost on
>all that's left are the regular Yea Forums posters
>they usually hate it since movies like this tend to be shit
Justin Price
It's foundational cyberpunk, and a fine sci-fi action movie with some very good acting, and no fluff or hidden agendas. It's the best live action manga or anime adaption made so far. Not a 10/10 movie, but it's just 2 hours long and never gets boring. The main problem is that it's too short, or biting over just barely what it can chew.
Alexander Mitchell
cyberpunk
cyborgs + martial arts
cute protagonist
no agenda, no quibs, movie takes itself serious with no 4th wall breaking or popculture references
actually nice and competent filmed action
great VFX and OST
Ian Reyes
Meant to attach this. -_-
Wyatt Evans
god the bar brawl is good
Isaac Bell
There may be a bit too much "healing" posting, especially at the start at of the threads, but it generally transitions in to discussion, unless shitposters come in to stir stuff up, like this thread did.
The problem is the blu-ray isn't out right now, so it's hard for some anons to discuss specifics about the movie since there isn't a source to point to. It's easy for me since I have the camrip, but then that makes discussion and analysis a bit one sided. I offer the camrip, but some anons refuse to take it because "muh waifu deserves HD" and shit.
Nathan Parker
>actually nice and competent filmed action
Forgot to mention this, yes. There's no reliance on tricks like shaky-cam, explosions and blurring to hide shitty action sequences. Rarely have I seen a western made movie where the action scenes are so clear and well planned out.
Aaron Butler
Yeah seems to go by so quickly in the movie, you kinda forget to appreciate it.
Anthony Green
nah I barely touched the last thread, and from just skimming it there are people talking about crossdressing and thots pining for attention. 90% of these threads are pointless filler, with or without my lazyass shitposting.
Andrew Lopez
appreciated frendos, ill wait for a good rip or rent, whichever I come across first
Angel Williams
OK, but it's also out in discount theaters some places now. The Fox-run website has been pretty shit in terms of listing all the screenings.
Evan Kelly
Don't be a jew, user. Buy several tickets like the rest of us.
Isaiah Roberts
Mad Max and the latest Mission Impossible come to mind.
But yeah, Hollywood usually totally fucks up when it comes to hand to hand combat. I watched Mile 22 recently, and they totally fucked up by not using the talent of Iko Uwais correctly. I facepalmed so hard i had red handprints on my face.
It makes me so angry, they had everything to make great action scenes, but they where either fucking lazy or fucking incompetent. (Probably both).
Carter Anderson
No, I actually agree with you, a lot of the thread is more /soc/ shit, that's why I offer a copy of the movie to heat up discussion, since it's really only a few anons that try to talk about the movie in a deeper sense than just reposting old fan art and OC's. But even with their problems, these threads are leagues better than anything else on Yea Forums right now.
Leo Clark
I don't care if you spent money or not, but wait for a quality rip. Watching it in low quality will decrease your enjoyment.
Nolan Cox
im an ausfag and every title got dropped once CM arrived,
foxtel should deliver it soon and these Loatian cabbage picklers typically deliver magnets around the same time

Nah, cunts. You’re wrong. Every fucking thread we make fresh OC, talk about the movie, talk about characters, talk about the box office, talk about the Blu-Ray, talk about the potential sequel, and more. You cherry pick a just a few examples of us goofing around or greeting each other and intentionally ignore everything else.
Jonathan Phillips
>Watching it in low quality will decrease your enjoyment
I agree with this. Watching it in low rez you miss how tight Alita's perky tits are. That's half the reason to watch the movie so may as well wait for a good rip.

There's literally ONE question about the movie in this thread, and then he got berated because it's been asked "too many times." Putting cat ears on an alita pic, and then reposting the same thing 60 times because no one will give you (you)s isn't content. There are more posts ABOUT jerome than there are posts discussing the movie.
Daniel Stewart
Good morning, /ALITA/. Let's all try to have a nice day with /ourgirl/ and our Alitafrens.
Austin Richardson
Point in case I'm glad we could have this posted AGAIN for the thousandth time. Can we at least talk about the fucking movie instead of talking about talking about it?
Nicholas Gomez
One post out of 300+?? your point exactly?
William Bailey
Oh. Not so good a morning, /ALITA/?
Charles Baker
No one in the Iron City government or at Zalem thought it would be a good idea to completely remove all evidence of the URM? Or send a team to scuba dive in to the ship to recover anything valuable inside? Nova is obviously immortal and been around for hundreds of years, but just thought it was okay this ship was just sitting here?
Joshua Bell
Apparently not... but found out that there are some more screenings near me, to I can stay topped up in between the BR releasing. :))
Ian Wood
some days are better than others but we persevere. remember, for every person shitting up the general there's people like this who are new here and want to share what we love with the film with us. it's worth sticking around for that
Samuel Price
>Scrappers have taken some parts for metal but it's hard to sell a lot of the stuff because no one knows what it does
In universe explanation there user. As for Nova, he has eyes all over Iron City but that doesn't mean he knows/cares about this defunct ship. Until Alita herself came along no one could use the tech. Also having a mythic enemy which you defeated helps enforce factory law since it seems justified against this terrible enemy.
Lincoln Ross
Idk maybe Nova thought there was no point as it dosen't look like the URM are returning anytime soon... And he would have to gather quite a few peeps that would be able to keep those secrets or that he could "dispose of" afterwards.
novas a hack
Henry Johnson
Yeah it's all worth it so shills can convince someone to watch a free movie. Be healed, wholesome :)
Ryan Martinez
I think leaving the URM ship there undisturbed actually acts as a suppressive force Zalem can use to keep the citizens of Iron City scared and submissive. If the mystery of the ship is intact, the URM can remain a boogieman that keeps Zalem in-control. If Zalem or Nova were to scrap the ship or publicly announce that they disarmed it, say, the URM (just look at the way Tanji says that line) would lose its scariness.
Eli Peterson
I just want to know what happened on the night of the fall, and what remains of the URM? Did they get their ass fisted so hard they really didn't have the power/strength or the ability to reconsolidae and come back for Zalem. To finish the mission
Robert Sullivan
i don't really understand why you're here. either the thread survives because people bump it, or it doesn't. if you're so sure we're shills, why not just ignore it until we inevitably leave when we stop being paid? perhaps if you stay i could discus these things with you.
Angel Johnson
i strikes me as a mutually assured destruction type thing. both forces get hit really hard, but zalem has the production base to survive and rebuild
Gavin Davis
It's all left so vague in the movie. If any URM still exists on Mars, or if there are any scattered survivors across the Earth, it's left unknown. Iron City/Zalem/[spoiler}Jeru[/spoiler] seems to be at peace, or at least in a long ceasefire.
Blake Russell
Can somebody post stills or a webm of the extras who walk behind Alita when she talks to Hugo the first time. Thought there was a bit of a deja vu situation there.
Colton Nelson
I asked for an archive because its good to deny these clickbait hacks ad revenue. Remember most of the screeching SJW nonsense is published because outrage culture will make it trend.
Also, am I gonna need a support group for this? I've replaced my porn image OCD with Alita OCD so i guess its a positive one.
Parker Taylor
>i don't really understand why you're here.
I ask this question every day and everyone just calls me jerome. Be healed, alitaCUTE!
Camden Davis
If The Fall is the movie version of the Terraforming Wars, the URM may not have had the resources left after the war ended to rebuild and make a second attack (Hugo says that on the last night of the war the URM committed all their ships to one final attack, so maybe the URM got desperate). The Terraforming Wars were about resources, after all, and the colonists were angry Earth wasn't giving them what they needed to keep expanding.
Jaxon Roberts
I guess, but I would of thought that the technarchy on Mars would of came back to avenge the fall.
Maybe they don't see earth as a threat now so see no need for anymore interferance.
Chase Price
I think I know what we can expect to see of Chiren in the sequel. It's perfect.
Spoilers because chance of being true is high.
Joseph Brown
>complaining about a single thread when we've had over 400
They can't all be groundbreaking, but they're definitely more quality content-filled than not. And the thread's still young. Why not go ahead and start a topic yourself?
I don't understand why whenever someone makes a post in here complaining that "we never talk about the movie" they don't instead just start a new topic of conversation or ask a question about the movie themselves.
Evan Collins

Cameron Turner
>complaining about a single thread when we've had over 400
You have a really short attention span if you think this is the only thread. Almost all of the threads are bloated with nonsensical, aimless, pointless, reposts.
comfy wholesome sukku CUTE!!
Levi Robinson
Maybe, but I hope they leave it a bit ambiguous if it’s really her.
Jordan Perez
No one in this thread has ever been paid to talk about this movie. No one in this thread has ever promoted this movie for any reason other than because they genuinely liked it, want others to experience it too, and want the film to do well enough to get a sequel so they can watch the continuation of the story, not because they want a company to make money. There have never been any shills in this thread and there never will be.

Leo Lee
Manga-purist! Long time no see, friend.

If you are a manga-fag what did you not like about it to warrant it as being "bad". It stuck to the source material well considering they had to merge story arcs together also very small amount of bad dialogue.

It was “once I get you a million credits”. Hugo has probably given much of it to Vector already. Vector fucked up when he put a number on it, I think. Hugo was too driven and too good at jacking cyborgs for his own good.
Levi James
yeah i think it's interesting how Vector was really invested in hugo staying but i guess you can't fault dreams.

Nathaniel Morales
With Chiren, Vector never had to promise her Zalem. He could just make it obvious to her that he had good relations with Zalem, and Chiren would gravitate to him. With Hugo, he needed to motivate him with a goal that seemed achievable, but he hoped to hook him on the lifestyle before he reached that number. He clearly thinks Hugo and Chiren are valuable assets, and is loath to lose them. Even if he doesn’t care on a personal level, he cares enough to set his own plans into motion and make a mess of Nova’s plans.
Mason Smith
i also want to highlight how fucking good the nova introduction is. seeing both the physically and the financially powerful cower before even the silmulated presence of this man sends a strong message as to his influence unquestionably
Xavier Gomez
This might be an unpopular opinion, but maybe we should stop here. If Alita's Army is pushing this any further we get an ugly backslash. I can already hear the arguments: russian bots etc.
I know people most likely don't bot these rank lists but from the outside it looks like it.
David Reed
eh it's a random ranking poll for a meaningless site. they're just asking for spam the way they set it up
Eli Lopez
Yeah, maybe you are right.
James Adams
finally got around to watching this, thanks for nothing. it was absolutely ordinary.
Justin Howard

Yeah it does give off that kind of look, but I'm sure they are all REAL votes. And just gives testimony to how much Alita Fans enjoyed the movie and want a sequel. And Im sure its going to slowly creep down over time.

Benjamin Young
It merged 2 books into one, leading to a lot of rushed storylines. The biggest example was the motorball career which was an entire book, but there it's like an afternoon. I mean she literally has her entire motorball career in-between the overarching hunter-warrior subplot.
Dialogue was... ok when you compare it to capeshit, but it still had plenty of cringe.
And for a movie that tries to rely so much on emotion, so much of the actual hard emotional moments of the books are lost. Do you remember the cyborg that Nova rebuilt (in the books he's called makaku, in the movie it was something like Groishka)? He had always been scorned by everyone and only found pleasure in mistreating others because he literally had never experienced the concept of love and the fact that others got to know it enraged him. When Alita feels sorry for him he professes his love for her right before dying. That was an incredible moment, but in the movie it was just "big bad guy fights underdog hero, then loses".
Hugo's plot was a generic love story. I liked that in the book he only care about getting to Zalem and Alita is completely in second place to that (up until the very second where he dies). Here he sees her and falls in love. Yawn.
Speaking of Nova, I have no idea where they're going with his storyline. In the books he is a fugitive from Zalem who went insane and joined a rebellion against Zalem. In the movie he apparently reigns over Zalem or is at least very important there, but the entire premise of book 3 and 4 relies on Nova NOT being in Zalem.
Overall I couldn't take the movie seriously. You can argue that "you just hate it because it's different", but it really felt inferior. They had some new ideas like the berserker body being in a spaceship, but overall it was a downgrade.
I have no idea what you're talking about, I think the last time I posted on Yea Forums was in 2018.
Who are you quoting? I didn't say any of that.
Leo Taylor
morning fren
Benjamin Hughes
is this breed of dog a Brussels Griffon?
Carson Ramirez
You seem focused on the grewishka/mukaku subplot but it's not where the emotional meat of the story is. The relationship which Alita and Ido have in the movie is far more fleshed out and less creepy than the manga equivalent. It just happens that Grew got the short end of the stick when it came to the movie rewrites. There were positive changes too.
Colton Morris
>I mean she literally has her entire motorball career in-between the overarching hunter-warrior subplot.
The motorball arc is coming in the sequel. This was just an appetizer.
Christian Hughes
I thought they did an good job having to cram so much into a relatively short run time, world building ect.. Also Nova could still get kicked out of Zalem in the sequels, and I totally could see jim/rob doing that.
And on the point of Alita's motorball career I'm pretty sure they are setting the 2nd movie up to feature motor ball much more prominently as the actor Cameron said he wanted to be cast for this movie would have to be a decent one as he mentioned that he would play a more important role in future movies to come.
Regarding Hugo, they kinda need something for the general audience to relate to, as I feel if they made Hugo the Zalem obsessive he was in the manga's, that would alienate Hugo for a lot of people. In the End he still dies trying to get there...
Jason Wood
I think it’s the generic street Meximutt
Joshua Adams
Think so, some kind of crossbreed at least.
Evan Hernandez
Makaku is pretty incredible, but I think he’s too incredible and edgelordy to work verbatim. A baby would die without physical contact and he’d never develop language all alone in the sewers. You can either have a feral speechless animal in the shape of a person, or you could have a manipulative Nietzsche-quoting sadist with henchmen. You can’t have both without it being comically silly. Someone like movie-Grewishka or Gollum, a person who fell into the abyss, is more believable as a character. What I liked about Alita and Makaku in the manga is that Alita is like the angel who sees the unseen, and delivers judgment but also absolution. Crying for your enemy is something that I did hope would make it into the movie - or a sequel.
That said, I like almost all the adaptive changes they did.
Hunter Allen
>Here he sees her and falls in love. Yawn.
That is such a disservice to the writing they did for him in the film. It was way beyond that and the only reason he hung around her at first was because he thought she came from Zalem.

>You seem focused
I gave you an example.
>The relationship which Alita and Ido have in the movie is far more fleshed out and less creepy than the manga equivalent.
I agree with being less creepy, as in he doesn't question whether he is into her (that question arises in book 2 I think). But to do that they invented a whole new character and a daughter for Ido. At a certain point you're not adapting, you're telling a new story.
We got protective Ido, but we lost Ido fighting alongside Alita which was cool.
Also the best Ido and Alita moment was lost, if it weren't for this I'd king of agree with you: remember when her body was destroyed and he crawled, bleeding and nearly dead, dragging her torso to phone his friend to come get them and put her in the berserker body? Him saying he understood that the only way to protect her was to allow her to fight? That was beautiful. Instead we got Ido being a curfew dad and she discovering the berserker body in an ancient spaceship which was just lying around and Zalem didn't care about. It was GoT-tier.
>Makaku is pretty incredible, but I think he’s too incredible and edgelordy to work verbatim.
True, he's like a deviantart villain and it wouldn't work for an american movie. I can actually complain about the part where he steals a badass body being lost because they inserted something else sillier and non-cannon which was Nova using telepathy (!) to get Vector (!!) to rebuild Grewishka. It felt like fanfic.
I didn't interpret Hugo as a Jew.
Christopher Reyes
Haven’t been here in like a week cus ban. What’s with this ridonculous OC I couldn’t spot the general easily.
Brayden Nguyen
>telepathy
No, this plays up Nova as a sort of genius hacker. Nova and Chiren aren’t that surprised at a telepresense chip, but they are shocked to see him use it to control other people’s bodies. It’s not telepathy, it’s engineering.
Gabriel Sanchez
Dude Ido has the berserker in his fucking BASEMENT in the manga. Like that's even more arbitrary than having it in an URM ship. I get that you like the manga but you're being intentionally obtuse in your comparisons.
>Using telepathy
It's pretty clearly explained that the chip in people's brains to briefly take control of their motor functions. It's not magic.
>Hugo jewish

Lucas Wilson
Well at the end of the day, the movie cant be solely fan service for the Manga and anime purists.
I think they made a good enjoyable movie for all walks of people including people who have never heard or Alita before, also casting was amazing and they managed to made it without all of the political BS all movies seem to have nowadays.
I think you have to cut the movie some slack it cant be %100 true to the source material.
Just think about Ghost in the shell...

Asher Williams
Movie fucking sucked. I prefer my marvel capeshit thanks.
Ethan Thompson
All fair points (and trust me I appreciate the opposing viewpoints), except the telepathy, but for one thing they remove or tone down from the manga, they make just as equally resonant in the film. For Ido saving Alita from Grewishka at the end of that entire sequence, it becomes a nice pay off from his story that was written for earlier in the film, he can finally do what he couldn't and save his daughter from, ironically another, motorball player, and the doll body being destroyed was his way of coming to terms with who Alita is and letting go of the memory of his dead daughter. It was a growing experience for everyone involved. The berserker body being found in the ship, one Hugo bringing her to it strengths her trust of him, and makes a fuck more sense than Ido just having it in his closet, and it world builds the URM, which obviously did not exist in the manga.
Anthony Jackson
Dominic Morales
I honestly think it's equally credible. Let's put aside stuff like "why do you care about realism in a show about a space robot", what they accomplished with Ido having the body was a stronger moment than a fucking racially diverse gang of teenage whippersnappers exploring a spaceship and finding one of the greatest weapons ever made.
>It's not magic.
Right, it's telepathy. I'm not saying it's outside of the context of Alita, but it was a silly headcannon.
The thing for me is, if I hadn't read the manga I wouldn't have seen the movie. I simply dislike ebin capeshit.
Christian Gutierrez
Just got back from probably the last time ever seeing her in the cinema. Very bittersweet.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think I'm right about this: early on Alita goes all "haiyah", but after Grew kills the dog she gets so angry she just screams, and after getting the berserker body she also just screams, which to me signals she's grown beyond childish interpretations of martial arts.
When Stinger has Alita pinned down during motorball, is that a Hertza Haeon she uses to push herself up from the track and out of his grip? The sound effect makes it feel like more than just a push.

Meiji Restoration: Japan restructured their society based on the "best" of foreign influences, from countries like Germany and England. The Education system and parliament was based on the German.
Also, many of the best fencing manuals are in German. Those of us who read about historical martial art need to learn a bit of archaic German if we're to understand the source material.

Levi Diaz
>I'm in love with the manga yet seemingly don't know motorball doesn't exist until book 3
They adapted book 1 and 2 (Alita birth, Makaku, and Yugo storylines) and some from 3&4 (motorball).

She's just entered the Champion's League, she's won the crowd but has a long way to go to win the game, which they'll presumably adapt in the sequel.

>Makaku in love with Gally
That was honestly one of the most retarded things I've ever read. It comes off as a joke, not a serious emotional moment.
>Hugo love story
It's a lot deeper than it looks at the surface. At first he's just interested in her because he thinks she's from Zalem, he doesn't really fall for her until they kiss. There's also the interpretation that he only quit cyborgjacking because he thinks she can make a ton of money, not because of love.
>Nova
Valid point. He feels to me like a mix between Nova and Mbadi, which could be great or terrible, only time will tell.
>berserker body in a spaceship
When was the last time you read the manga? It was found in a spaceship, the difference is that Ido found it a bit earlier, instead of Alita finding it.
>Him saying he understood that the only way to protect her was to allow her to fight?
Did you not watch the movie? We get that moment when he puts her in the berserker body.

It's translated from German to Jap and from Jap to English, so that's probably why. Hertza Haeon looks cooler tho.

>and some from 3&4 (motorball).
They did not adapt anything from 3 or 4. Like, name a plot from 3 or 4 in that movie.
>She's just entered the Champion's League, she's won the crowd but has a long way to go to win the game, which they'll presumably adapt in the sequel.
All of this in an afternoon. Sure, I know they said it happened along a few days, but it was literally jammed in-between the main plot, there was no build-up. It took her an entire book just to get to the second league and race against the first league champion, but here she enters the first league in the duration of a bathroom break. It's the best example of shoving a sub-plot inside a major plot that I've seen, it's like the producers remembered "oh right, we have to do the whole roller skates thing, uuuh ok let's see...".
>Name some examples that aren't the intentionally cringey speech at the Kansas.
Every time Yugo opened his mouth. When he says "you're the most beautiful girl in the world" or whatever it was, that was a fair reason to ask for your money back. Or whenever Vector said anything, it's one thing to have an edgy villain, but this was ridiculous.
>Did you not watch the movie? We get that moment when he puts her in the berserker body.
I did see the movie, she puts herself in the body when she's in the spaceship.
>That was honestly one of the most retarded things I've ever read. It comes off as a joke, not a serious emotional moment.
I don't know who Gally is, but if you meant Alita/Yoko then fair enough. I disagree and I explained why he loved her, and I feel like it's a fantastic part of book 1. It definitely had more emotional depth than anything in the movie for me.
>It's a lot deeper than it looks at the surface.
I can say this about anything you criticize.

Ayden Reyes

Brody Morgan
>I did see the movie, she puts herself in the body when she's in the spaceship.
What? No! She needs Ido's help do do that, he refuses her because she's a wandering WMD and is a combination of afraid of her, and wanting to give her a chance of the innocent life that his daughter was robbed of. I found this, and his saving Alita from the underworld, to be more satisfying than how it was done in the manga - even if that wasn't bad.
The URM ship scene reminded me of Horizon's Zero Dawn, in a good way. Both in the aesthetic of it, and how it shows something about the past by just the debris that is left behind.
Daniel Moore
I honestly remember she unlocking the body, then getting help from one of her teen scooby gang members to getting herself onto it, but maybe she did take it back to Ido. Actually because he initially refused to get her onto it. Idk, I watched this thing over a month ago on the day it came out.
Wow you sure showed me.

The entire existence of motorball is adapted from book 3&4.
>motorball rushed
It's a timelapse covering a few months, which was done to show how much she's grown as a character and to get the ending shot. I guarantee they'll spend at least the first half of the next film adapting the motorball arc.
>Every time Yugo opened his mouth. When he says "you're the most beautiful girl in the world" or whatever it was, that was a fair reason to ask for your money back.
It's "You are the most human person I have ever met" and it's an important line for his character arc.
>Or whenever Vector said anything, it's one thing to have an edgy villain, but this was ridiculous.
You cannot with a straight face tell me movie Vector was more ridiculous than Makaku.
>I don't know who Gally is
Sorry, I assumed you'd know Alita's original Jap name since you're a mangafag.
>I did see the movie, she puts herself in the body when she's in the spaceship.
Oh ok, you didn't actually see the movie.
Henry Foster
You're either an incredible troll or just the right amount of dense to infuriate the people here. It's factually incorrect that she puts herself in the Berserker in the ship in the film. Like this isn't even a matter of interpretation. It's just fact.

Yeah I misremember a couple of details, shame on me. But let's ignore this guy here:
>The entire existence of motorball is adapted from book 3&4.
No, it isn't. Books 3 and 4 have nothing to do with motorball. See when I get a detail wrong it's a calamity, but when you get the entire plot of 2 books wrong it's fine.
>It's a timelapse covering a few months, which was done to show how much she's grown as a character and to get the ending shot.
Pretty good euphemism for "rushed". This also means about 2/3 of book 2 can't be used because they were all about her rising to the 2nd league, but now she's already in the 1st. Bravo.
>It's "You are the most human person I have ever met" and it's an important line for his character arc.
If this is what you consider good dialogue, I don't think there's much to argue here. Not only was the line itself bland, the delivery was awful. The actor that played Yugo was probably the weakest thing about the whole movie for me.
>You cannot with a straight face tell me movie Vector was more ridiculous than Makaku.
Ridiculous how? I already said Makaku was a turbo-edgy deviantart villain and that wouldn't work in the movie. Movie Vector was a stoic who Talks. Like. This. Slowly. And. Pauseful.
>Oh ok, you didn't actually see the movie.
For the 3rd time, I admit I might have gotten that part of the movie wrong. You got 2 whole books wrong because you think motorball happens anywhere outside of book 2, but you'll keep glossing over this.
That's fine, I did admit I might be misremembering. Read my whole post next time.

It’s turns all your senses x100 so everything that’s funny becomes hilarious, any smells become stronger and food looks extra good so you get the munchies.
I’d only recommend marijuana once a month or every two weeks desu. (Imo edibles hit you harder and smoking weed leaves a nasty ass aftertaste) Otherwise you don’t get the same high often. Also smoke weed when you’re motivated and doing okay, if you smoke it because you got the big sad or feel lazy it’s going to worsen it
Isaiah Richardson
I don't have types, more like anti-types. I don't like capeshit or romantic comedies.
I do, and it wasn't because of whether she put on the body herself or not, it was because she wore it at all.
See above, also please show where my English was flawed.
You didn't read it, did you? Book 2 is all about motorball, book 3 is about her fighting barjack and book 5 is about her find Nova and Ido. Maybe read them instead of spewing whatever synopsis you found online. There is literally no motorball in 3.
Andrew Taylor
I suspect we're talking about different releases, then. In the Viz release Yugo dies at the end of book 2, motorball is 3&4, Berserker Zapan is book 5. I assume this is also the case for whichever release Cameron read, since that's the only way his statement makes sense. They also seem to have made the motorball league smaller, since she starts in a Second League tryout, whereas in the manga she has to rise through Third League first.
>I missed a small detail
It's a major plot point and the entire reason the climax of Act 2 even happens. Pretty important detail to miss.
Jonathan Scott
I think so. I'm talking about the Deluxe release that came out about 2 months before the movie.

Owen Mitchell
>See above, also please show where my English was flawed.
Your comprehension of the English language, as expressed in writing. It's a breakdown in the relationship between Ido and Alita and leads to her registering as a hunter-warrior against his will, and gets her almost killed by Grewishka.

I did, and I stand by my point: her wearing the berserker body led to the breakdown, not whether she put it on or not. This conversation is getting boring, substantiate your argument or let's stop here.
Citizen Kane, Eyes Wide Shut, Seventh Seal, Krotkaya, Seven Samurai. It probably looks like a film student starter pack since Citizen Kane and anything by Bergman are like The Great Gatsby for literature students, but I'm not lying about my taste to appease the television and film board of Yea Forums on a thread about a capeshit movie.
Robert Brooks
It was his refusal to put her in the Berserker body that led to the breakdown. And if she'd put it on herself, she would have had the Berserker body in the fight against Grewishka too. I honestly find it hard to take you seriously here.
