Why? It's entirely subjective and you'll use meme arrows on every single point I make to do an ACKSHUALLY. If you want a short version, the movie is a generic capeshit flick, the plot is predictable, the dialogue is horrible (fuck's sake, Yugo was bad). Remove the CGI and there's nothing.

Joseph Wright
20-year fan of the manga here, the movie equals and even surpasses the first two volumes in some ways, I avoided the movie at first because I was sure it would ruin the manga but it was a better adaptation that I dreamed could be possible. However, the best parts of the manga have yet do be adapted, if there are sequels we'll see how they do.
The movie is more black and white than the manga, Grewishka and Nova are shown as pure evil with no sympathetic qualities. One of Gunnm's greatest strengths is its ability to make every character sympathetic, from heroes to villains and even bit characters like the deckman Gally is sent to kill by the GIB.

Grewishka is a weak character, but I like movie Ido better. There's a dynamic to his relationship with Alita and Chiren that you don't find in the manga because he named her after his dead cat.

Taking the sentence "A is better than B" and stretching it to a whole paragraph doesn't give it more weight.
>The movie is more black and white than the manga
While I sort of agree (remember Caligula from the races?), I don't think this is necessarily a good thing, but it's not related to why I dislike the movie. And Grewishka is a bad character with zero depth, it's generic movie big bad guy who likes to smash things. Nowhere near as good as makaku.
Nicholas Flores
>The movie is more black and white than the manga
That may be so, but none of the characters are without flaw. They're all evil in their own way.

Makaku's persona in the present is kind of overblown, but his past in the flashback is touching and also draws a parallel between him and Alita - they were both left for dead and rescued by Zalemite scientists, just with wildly different motivations. I liked Alita crying for him in the end, Grewishka didn't have that kind of depth. Also wish Grewishka's face looked more like Makaku's, his face is one of the movie's weaker designs, just looks like a fat guy.
Caleb Clark
I don't want to argue with you, get over it.
>you're getting shat on by manga purists as well
>literally one guy who disagrees with me about a single character
Yeah mate, your internet army sure is menacing.
Makaku was an actual character with a background. His personality was bland, but still better than Grewishka. Here, let me show you: describe Grewishka as a character beyond "he's big and bad and beats people". There's nothing, he's filler.
Charles Bennett
I agree, Grewishka is a terrible villain. The scene where he threatened Hugo felt like a saturday morning cartoon.

>mfw thinking about our christmas memes if /ALITA/ makes it to december
Oliver Carter
So you don't think the black and whiteness of the movie is a problem? It's the main point of Vols. 1-2 over the movie for me. There were a few totally irredeemable characters, like Caligula's sidekick and other random psycho killers, but almost every significant character was given some dimension. Like how Knucklehead betrayed the Boiling Metal troops and the sergeant said "even the most meager of creatures have a full soul" or something like that.
If that's not the problem you see with the movie, what is?

Grew does have some interesting qualities. He's basically the other half of Vector; he represents the physical power of evil whereas Vector represents the temporal power of evil.
Grew and Vector both seem like hollow people when you pay close attention to them. Acting as pawns for Nova seems to have caused something inside them to wither away, so despite the appearance of power they present they have a hidden side that's totally subservient to Nova, with his goals always overriding theirs.

Kayden Green
Grewishka's actually got roughly the same backstory as Makaku, only he asked Nova to put him in a body capable of becoming motorball champion, as that was his wish, as it was his plan to gain the attention of the over-world. When he fucked it up, he was discarded by the crowd, and disillusioned by their capriciousness, turned to serving Nova, the only person he knew he could truly trust. Some of this is implied by details, some of this is only mentioned in supplementary material and cast interviews.
Andrew Smith
Oh, and his motorballer past ties him in with Chiren and Vector.

I'm like destroyed. Have the last reply, of the 3+ people I'm talking with, you're the most boring.
I think you misread me - the black and whiteness of the movie IS a problem. Having good guys be always good and bad guys be always bad is a lazy strategy. Manga Yugo wasn't good or bad, nor was Den from Barjack (actually any character from book 3) or frankly even Alita. In the movie I can guess a character's alignment by the first shot of their face.
The other moron is going to have his heart broken when he finds out you and I were agreeing.
>he represents
Yawn. Describe Grewishka himself, tell me something about his personality, his struggles in life, what he's like. You can't because he's a shit character with ZERO depth.
Also manga Vector had depth. Being a pawn doesn't mean you're an NPC, the entire scrapyard are slaves to Zalem and they have personalities.
Was this shows in the movie?

Parker Turner
Neither Makaku or his composite replacement Grewishka are meant to be in-depth villains anyway so hanging up on their characterization or lack thereof only shows you're a brainlet who isn't even close to understanding why the manga is praised. Narratively they only exist for 2 reasons:
1. Growth of Alita as a character and a warrior
2. Establish Nova as a distant behind-the-scenes antagonist
The movie does both so it's not inferior to the manga in that regard.
Makaku isn't a deeply intriguing character because he slurps on brains and is edgy enough to think being evil for the sake of being evil is a way to cope with rejection.
Zachary Carter

the good one is being a pain
Robert Gonzalez
>Was this shows in the movie?
Read the end of the post. What's shown in the movie is implied only through details, like why Chiren and Vector know Grewishka, why Grewishka comes to Chiren after Alita kicks him arm off, and why Chiren repairs him, saying "it's a private matter."
Also the backstory explains why Grewishka grovels when Nova takes control of Vector. Grewishka respects and fears Nova and is in awe of him.

Wait so let me get this straight. Alita can't have vagina or butt sex because of the machinery in her body would crush dicks so the only way to have sex with her is to sodomize her mouth? That can't be right.

Blessed digits. Alita is our Messiah, which is only more appropriate since she's an angel too. Perhaps it's good that she can't see the path ahead. We all know Paul couldn't handle it.
Also Dune Messiah is the best of the Dune series and I'll fight anyone who disagrees.
Nicholas Scott
We don't agree that the movie is bad or inferior to the manga. In terms of pacing, story flow and some characterizations, particularly Ido's, it's a good deal better. Weaving Makaku, Yugo and motorball together makes for a better ride than the original, which has separate storylines with a limited focus.
The black and white nature of the movie is understandable because it's Alita's coming of age story and she has a simple way of seeing the world at first. If there are sequels, the key will be seeing if they can move past that and see some more nuance in the characters. I don't like that they had Zapan kill someone in cold blood because he didn't do that originally and it makes him pretty irredeemable, it's important that he have some sympathetic side for the berserker story.
Juan Bell
kek. Zapan a bitch.
Blake Rogers
I wasn't the one to bring up Grewishka. If it was you, don't get mad at me that your example was retarded.
>Makaku isn't a deeply intriguing character because he slurps on brains and is edgy enough to think being evil for the sake of being evil is a way to cope with rejection.
That's actually miles better than Grewishka. You're conveniently skipping the exposition, the way his back story was exposed made "this is Grewishka, he's big, he smashes things" look like a rock.
I get that they're both ways for her to grow as a character, but that's not a reason for Grewishka to suck.

I watched this movie without knowing anything, I liked it but even with the long run time it felt rushed, like they want to get as much of the story out because they didn't know if there would be sequels. I wish Alita's human side had more development.
Michael Wright

James Adams
>Weaving Makaku, Yugo and motorball together makes for a better ride than the original
I never saw anything so forcibly jammed outside of pornhub as the motorball arch into the movie. If you think this is a strong point, I don't know what to tell you.
Not going to quote the second paragraph. The fact that she's young and sees the world as black and white doesn't mean the movie characters themselves have to be. That's entirely your own cope. You're doing damage control for something that doesn't deserve it, it's just a generic capeshit formula. If the characters were shades of grey, you'd be saying it's because she's young and can't judge someone's character properly. Sometimes, a shitty character is really just a shitty character because the movie writers are lazy.
And Zapan DID kill someone in cold blood. Remember Yugo's gang? He sliced a kid in half.
Ryan Rivera
It's a reason to not give him unnecessary development when he only exists to be a foil. There are far more important things to cover in a 2-hour movie. Taking away his incoherent sob story does not really lessen the character growth of Alita. If you can't get that, what are the chances you understood anything about the rest?

James definitely rushed the story. Cutting the nude love scene between Alita and Hugo was a mistake. Leaving it in would have helped fill in Alita's more intimate human aspects.

So motorball elements were "forcibly jammed" into the movie but an unimportant character would have been redeemed by some cheap backstory exposition to explain why he's an evil big guy who slurps on brains or smashes things, take your pick. Way to contradict yourself.

Benjamin Bennett
Zapan sliced a kid who tried to steal his spine. That's a crime under factory law and he's a hunter-warrior, kills don't get more legit than that.
There are shades of gray in some characters, just not in the main villains. When you pay attention to Ido you can see he's deeply hurt and has some unhealthy coping mechanisms; recall Gerhad's face when he names Alita. He's not just an idealized father figure.
Chiren seems to hold out some good will for Ido in the beginning, then after the Kansas fight she torments him by reminding him of their daughter, a truly evil act. Then she's redeemed in the end.
Connecting Hugo, Ido and Vector to motorball was a good way to link different parts of the story, in the manga motorball just comes out of nowhere in Vol. 3. In the movie we see how this bread-and-circus distraction involves people from different walks of life and the corrupting influence that it has. Also the motorball tryout scene is one of the best action sequences in any movie ever.
Aaron Reyes
Its not your fault. Modern society sucks. Nothing much to live for tbqh.
Adam Gray
The important thing isn't to copy every detail, the pacing from the manga wouldn't work for a movie hence the reorganized story. The important thing is to express the themes and characters from the manga, which is done so well that few other movie adaptations of anything, manga, comic, novel or otherwise, come close to it. Jen's appearance in the movie is great and well-suited to her character.

But the motorball arch lasted an entire book and in the movie it was 10 minutes. They could have made half of the second movie around it or something, not have
>ok fight the bad guys
>timeout, now become motorball champion
>ok back to bad guys
Fuck's sake, at least interweave it into the plot, this was a bathroom break. She literally jumped from a motorball race back to fighting bad guys. It was the definition of subplot jamming.
And his exposition story would have lasted under a minute. I don't see how adding one minute to a 2h movie gets to you this much.
How does this contradict anything I said? Move the motorball thing to the next movie (plus this way you're following the canonical timeline), use the extra time to give proper development to characters.
Nathaniel Fisher
he just has such a punchable face
either pic related or the one where he's covered in cum should be the targets

Comfyposting didn't last long tonight. Oh well. We can try again tomorrow night.

She didn't become motorball champion, were you even paying attention? It was a tryout for her to enter the second league and she ended it by fleeing the track. Her entry into motorball was part of her developing relationship with Hugo, who is hiding the fact that he commits crimes to support motorball games, just as Ido has guilt over his involvement with motorball. In this way motorball serves as a thread to connect all these characters instead of appearing out of nowhere in the 3rd volume.

Thanks frens!
Got some Wholesome stuff for next bread

based loony toons posting; idk what you're talking about though, fren, It's been decently comfy.

Jerome? This is kind of an innovative tactic if so.

Guys all the lewd posting has been getting me down lately. Coming into a thread with lewd posting is like walking into a room to find Alita being raped. Its just not right. Is it always gonna be lewd posting in these threads from now on? I'm not sure I am comfortable posting in these threads if that is gonna be the case.
Daniel King
The contradiction lies in you thinking introducing narrative elements that will be important later on such as the motorball aspect of life in Iron City is "forcibly jammed" but that you can somehow save a character and make the audience empathize with him with a last minute, non-forced, non-jammed 1-minute exposition.
Speaking of screentime, Chiren is given some in the movie and none in the manga because she doesn't exist there. Does this make the movie infinitely better? Is it better to focus on Chiren and by extension Ido's previous life in Zalem or Makaku, this incredibly nuanced brain slurping first volume villain?

I think you mean Zapan, buddy
Hugo is cute and precious and did nothing wrong
Alexander Rodriguez
Finally saw capeshit endgame, it was pretty decent but honestly i'd only watch it again on a plane or on tv maybe. all i could think about after leaving the theater was that i wouldn't be willing to watch it in theaters again, but i wouldn't hesitate to watch Alita one more time if it was still playing
Wyatt Hughes
A reminder that Alita is for hugs, cuddles walking arm in arm, kisses on the cheek, holding hands and all things otherwise pure and wholesome.
ALITA IS NOT FOR LEWD!
Bentley Butler
the movie is amazing
im a fan of chiren and i love the way she was drawn. shes very beautiful
ever since alita was announced i wanted to see what they do with her.
i will always be dissapointed over a change that would have cost 8 dollars to make
why did both robert and james not do this
unless jennifer Connelly said no
even Idos daughter was fucking blonde for fucks sake
Juan Miller
>Does Chiren's screen time make the movie better?
Considering the lingerie scene I would venture to say, yes.
Kayden Young
i guess shes a little older than you thought doctor
Ethan Cooper
that reminds me, that faggot admin of the chong page on memebook still browses these threads and alita posts, and he likes lewding alita
hey sadmin, fuck you, pic related
Luke Mitchell

Luis Richardson
What about interlinking fingers and gazing at the night sky while sitting on a rooftop?
James Fisher

I could update the archive for you if you're looking for a lot of them
Logan Collins
this is painfully wholesome because I've done it before. This hurts.
Grayson Davis
>The contradiction lies in you thinking introducing narrative elements that will be important later on such as the motorball aspect of life in Iron City is "forcibly jammed"
Not what I said, I'm not going to discuss your strawman.
And Chiren has a personality, so it's fine. The problem with Grewishka was they kept the character, but dropped the personality. I think I explained this 3 or 4 times by now. Maybe this time is the one, but I really don't feel like continuing an argument where I keep saying the same thing over and over. You like a character with zero backstory, cool. Alita is the movie for you.
Ryan Rivera
Zapan a BITCH
Use faceapp to shop her hair blonde like the other user did with Blondita
One of my friends thought it was amazing but every review on here makes it sound like a mess
Cooper Carter
Alita doesn't become a motorball champion in 10 minutes so you ought to try not turn your brain off and actually pay attention to what's going on the screen before you call it generic capeshit. It's okay, you're almost there.
Colton Smith
Not him, but makaku was way more nuanced in the manga, you're dumb if you can't see it.
Tyler Phillips
Damn Alita: Battle Angel looks like that?!?
Parker Gutierrez
Christina Hendricks for sequel
Colton Green
>Alita doesn't become a motorball champion in 10 minutes
...good thing I didn't say that then. Another strawman?
>it's okay, you're almost there
Hi Redd.it!

Oliver Williams
i mean if you combine a bunch of separate movie franchises into one big movie and you at least like a few of the heros, it's bound to be at least okay. that being said, suicide squad was way better and i thought it was deserving of 3 theater viewings
i love alita 3000
Adrian Young
h-hi, qt
Asher Morris
I can see it, but that's not really the crux of the argument. He was ultimately unimportant except to be a foil to Alita. If we're going to discuss what the movie or the manga did better, I'd rather talk about the differences in Ido, Alita or Yugo/Hugo because in the end those are the important characters that matter and move Alita's characterization forward.
Tugo's death still haunts Alita a decade later, so that's the part the movie needs to get right, not whether Makaku-lite has an evil enough face or backstory worth caring for.
Juan Roberts
Such a short attention span, you can't even remember your previous posts! stick to actual capeshit for sure.
William Perry
No unfortunately. There will be an animated series instead Disney decided after buying Fox. It will be on Disney's nee streaming service.
Easton Scott
I don't mind Rosa posting or even Jen posting but this is really stretching it
Cameron Lee
Lana's cute what are you even talking about

The CutOut folder is fresh but the rest needs to be updated
Asher Cook
>your previous pot
Mate, follow the links, my previous post () did not contain "motorball", "10" or "minutes" anywhere. It was entirely about Grewishka. This is more sad than engaging at this point, so I'm going to stop here.
Jackson Rivera
she's underrated and cute in the movie, like when she gives alita the thumbs up
