Doesnt wearing hats all the time cause baldness?

I hope you dream of Alita

That’s a meme
I have hair up to my shoulders and I wear hats all the time
Genetics cause baldness

How many of you will drop the franchise like a hot potato when the sequel's tone is revealed to be noticeably darker? No more cute uwu naive Alita for you. No more pure teenage love. Only suffering.

Attached: 1551422279634.png (960x540, 452K)

yes and no. Pulling your hair back tightly can cause a kind of alopecia and also not keeping your hair clean. Typically this can be reversed if you just let your hair do its thing though. If you've got male pattern baldness though idk how much it'll accelerate things. I wear a beanie like pic related basically every day at some point but I don't let it pull my hair back and I keep it off once I'm home. I've worried that it would cause my hairline to recede but while I'm not blessed with facial hair, I'll probably have hair until I'm 80.

Eight years ago? OOF

Why are these still allowed??

Fuck no I'm not dropping this. However she develops I'm there until the end.

some very minor relationships happened in between but this is just about the one girl

I just hope she doesn’t go full heartless murderbot like in the mango. Big part of her appeal in the movie is her compassionate nature.

Attached: ce6ut4jdmoz01.jpg (612x790, 38K)

did you have a stroke?

oops formatted that weird
The problem is that I'm the one who ended it way too early before anything went wrong so neither of us got any closure. She's happy enough and that's the worst thing because I don't want to fuck it up for her.

Fuck sorry that was a wall of text.
I wanted to green arrow it like a real 4channer but I ended up typing way more than I would have otherwise, I should have done it the way I had it originally. Or just done a different number instead.
A lot of stuff happened in between but that's the big scar and it's weird not being able to explain that feeling to people.

Now that I've lost the one person I wanted to spend my life with and for a while I thought I was going to die (unrelated), I don't care about a whole lot any more which oddly freeing and also kind of like having a suit of armor.

writefag wouldn't do this. Also it's antithetical to Alita's entire character.

If we want to eliminate sexual abuse we need to lower testosterobe levels in all men. Look at what the captain was trying to do that night. You can't just "teach" not to abuse.

this capeshit flick has been out for two months. you autists are actually worse than the endgame/game of thrones fangirls. two months. i pity you

Alita sucked. It pretty much just put the manga into a blender and spat it out at random intervals. It dogwhistles seen faggots with muh anime eyes but in reality has nothing to do with anime.

Anyone who says this was a good manga adaptation should feel bad.

You can't prove me wrong. Alita: shittle angle took the best character (hugo) and took a huge SHIT on him.

it's a live action comic book movie, so yes it's capeshit

Describe the meaning of capeshit

We are all aware that Hugo was changed somewhat but they knew were making a movie that is fundamentally about a teen girl's journey into adulthood so they made him hot so all the young women out there might be interested in it

A+ work on Alita matching her socks with the rest of her outfit. Didn't notice until now.

I could watch this over and over again for hours

Not much point in shitposting or circlejerking but Alita really IS an anomaly in that it's a great anime/manga to live adaptation. Very few manage this feat, even when technical effects are not the limitation, like adapting a mostly psychological story.
(see Death Note if you want a prime example of how to fuck it up)

Even fewer if you only consider Western adaptations. It's a small miracle all the stars aligned to produce the movie:
- Good technical effects so the sci-fi parts aren't jarring or immersion breaking
- Incredibly detailed mocap + A good lead actress for Alita
- A director/producer who understands and respects the source material
- No injected politics or hidden agendas

Take any out of any of these and the movie breaks. Is the movie perfect or would I have changed nothing about it? No, but as far as adaptations go, it's miles above the rest.

i'm honored, friend, thank you

I mean they kind of are the Greek equivalent of capeshit but the initial user is wrong in saying that also capeshit is bad because that's just not true.

I have a big problem with the Alita dickriding and am absolutely revolted that there is an Alita Dickriding General.

Although I guess I shouldn't be surprised since she was cute

Alita had great outfits

You'll need to ask Demitry for that kind of thing

Yeah I've seen it and have read the manga and seen the anime.

The movie sucked ass.

Also I feel bad for being a dick to your compliment about the old days

Demitry? Who dat

The movie sucked ass user. I am not genuinely offended, but more saddened, or disappointed, I should have said.

There's a lot of room for improvement as far as understand and respecting the original work is concerned.
Also RR clearly had an mexico/south america representation agenda

lol ok

Literally describe two scenes in detail.

I'm disappointed you can't come up with anything more substantial than "manga good. movie shit." because then there's no discussion to be had and you just look like a (You)-craving child.

They've exhausted everything worth discussing about Endgame apparently.
Captain Marvel made a billion but already nobody gives a fuck about it, as predicted.

>The weeb cannot handle his movie being criticized
Sad. Battle angle sucked

You're a liar faggot. You never saw the movie. Nobody who has ever seen this movie has thought it sucks. The opinion ranges from a bottom-most "meh" to a top-most "greatest movie I've ever seen in my life."

Get bent.

Actually it was Cameron's idea to set it in Panama instead of Kansas because of how space elevators work.

If you can prove you've seen the movie then we can discuss it, and if you saw it then you're not doing a great job of making any points beyond "movie bad it suck"

Fuck the haters let's kick it into gear

Okay, what do u like then

I'd need to see a video of cameron saying that to believe it and it's still an example of failing to understand and respect the original.

>Also RR clearly had an mexico/south america representation agenda
If you read the manga, you know Zalem is at the bottom of a space elevator, which makes the most sense around the equator, so this is actually an example of a director going beyond adapting to the letter and doing their research. Also the setting of the Scrapyard was never distinctly rooted in any country or culture, it's portrayed a melting pot of civilizations or the remains of it, by design indistinct.

>Nobody who has ever seen this movie has thought it sucks.
HAHAHAHAHHAHA
>No stop it user! Alita is the best and cutest and most realistic waifu ever!!! Everyone agrees!! It's literally impossible for someone to have a different opinion other than my own!

Listen up dickriders your time is up. I'm going to go and read a book.

Something you fags clearly need to do. If you go and ask on /wsr/ someone will likely drop you the Alita pdf (its a bit late for most of you no hopers) but you should still read it.

yeah I think it's totally resonable to move the location for the film

People already have dropped manga links before. Most of us have read it. We just love the adaptation as much as the original.

It doesn't need to be explained just set the movie where it's supposed to be set.

You're fucking retarded. If your show me proof that you saw the movie, I would then believe that you had actually seen it.

I agree that changing the location does raise some issues but the movie is so great that I don't really give a damn but I am curious how it will affect things in the sequels

I don't keep my tickets. I don't get why anyone would

fuck man thats real, same thing sort of happened to me but not so brutally and no bipolar, im just a retard. hope youre going good bro

Attached: zqsFJtJ.jpg (700x700, 66K)

it shouldn't affect it too much I feel

Not when the decision is a retarded one.
There's no reason to move the location and the move breaks several other locations that exist in the original story like NORAD mountain, the other nuclear shelters etc.

And here are mine.

Well? Don't keep us waiting, Jerome.

Attached: Alita Tickets.jpg (1080x720, 122K)

Haha fuck thank you for reading that, I'm doing okay-ish, my problems are not girl related at the moment although I wish they were.
I have a few other (shorter) stories to tell but I'll hold off for now especially since SA isn't on.

The main problem is the Granite Inn needs to move and Panama is so small that a lot of the other locations need to be coastal instead of landlocked.
We also have no idea what JC wrote for the sequels so it's possible he already figured this stuff out.

Why do you fucking weird cunts keep your tickets?

>why save tickets
It takes up almost zero space, all of mine are in a little envelope and on the back I write who I saw the movie with

Then literally describe the movie in the most detail you can. Basic character names, lines, plot elements, shots, fucking anything. The onus is on you to prove to us that you actually saw it. Otherwise, expect everyone to think you're talking shit, not because you think the movie sucks, but because you literally can't describe anything about the movie you just saw. If that's really the case, then it sounds like you got a severe case of amnesia or you slept through the movie. In either case, go to the movie again and actually watch it this time, sodomite

Tickets fade over time until the ink is gone.

Okay, Jerome. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that this is genuine.

I retract my earlier statement about "no one who's seen it thinks it sucks". I admit defeat, and I announce out loud to the whole thread that you were right and I was wrong. Victory is yours.

I guess I see your point. None of my friends keep movie tickets so No don't either.

If you turn your brain off maybe. The world of gunnm is the wide open sprawling wasteland of the post apocalyptic united states.
Instead the movie is set in an extremely narrow, mountainous strip of land with no real world sites of note. An utterly retarded decision.
It's only going to snowball into more and more problems for anybody who hasn't switched their brain off. How did the population of panama even survive the impact winter? Americans only survived because of all the fallout shelters.

not if you laminate them

> the axis shifted.
That's some serious shifting if you want North America to now be on the axis. It's been some time and I don't remember the manga being specific about this and ultimately it doesn't matter because it's not a serious plot element that the events happen in NA or SA or anywhere else because it happens after the collapse of civilization. It's a post apocalyptic world and the other locations could easily be placed in the south as well.
What? The name of a bar firmly roots the setting? In a multicultural city where you have signs in Japanese/Korean?

They haven't mentioned the impact winter, only the war with Mars. It's probably not going to be a thing in the movies, which I remind you are separate adaptations and have not erased the anime or manga in any way.

don't forget we even hear people speaking German

Do movie tickets lose their ink because the paper they are printed on has acid on it

Thank you user

Are you asking or telling us

Both kinda. I think it's acid free paper that doesn't decay so I was wondering if maybe the ticket paper had acid on it

No I mean explain how it not being set in N. America makes any difference in regards to Alita's journey or anything other than the locations not being the same.
I get the complaint about Hugo being different but other than that you haven't really raised any points. Why is it necessary for it to be set in North America? Why does the apocalypse have to be caused by an impact winter? Etc.

Who's this person I keep seeing in fan art with Alita?

Ah, is it any good? I've heard of Nier Automata but I don't know anything about it.

No just one

Here's the last one in the set then

Attached: china1.jpg (1500x1037, 633K)

>world of gunnm is the wide open sprawling wasteland of the post apocalyptic united states
>Iron City is located at the equator

Not that guy you're responding to but it takes nothing away from the world building that the Iron City is located in one wasteland or another. If the movie's take is to consider the space elevators, it totally makes sense to displace the setting somewhere south. You can have Mad Max down there too.

Humanity surviving extinction can easily be handwaved otherwise and is no more far-fetched than mutant vampires, and that's way further down the story which isn't even guaranteed to be adapted. Again, the setting of Iron City is not distinctly set in one country or another and was probably the least of Kishiro's concerns as he was making up the story.

I haven't played it yet unfortunately. But it looks awesome

>No I mean explain how it not being set in N. America makes any difference in regards to Alita's journey or anything other than the locations not being the same.
It makes the storyline where Alita drives to the McDonald's at the strip mall in a beat-up Chevy SUV completely unrealistic.

Fucking KEK this is great

I get why a game like Fallout couldn't be set anywhere other than America, but nothing in particular about the content of Alita has anything to do with America except for random things like a vampire fight on the Gateway Arch or Nova living in NORAD.

2B, another cute artificial girl except this one's fully android

Well... there is a vampire fight in St. Louis and one vampire throws a Hummer H2 at the other one so obviously everything needs to be scrapped and completely rewritten.

It takes a plausible sci-fi scenario built on the ruins of the usa and replaces it with a ridiculous one that no amount of suspension of disbelief can rationalize. It's just not possible for high tech civilization to re-emerge in PANAMA of all places it's thousands of miles away from an repository of old world knowledge and doesn't have the artifacts or infrastructure.

What makes you think Central and South America won't have any tech 200 years from now? Panama is in the middle of one of the biggest shipping lanes in the world.
The movie is set 300 years after that, even.

Most cinemas still use a thicker variety of thermal paper(the kind of paper receipts are printed on) to print the tickets. No ink involved.

It's 500 years in the future user, with 200 of those being before the fall. Given where for example China has gone in the last 50 years alone, you don't think it's plausible that global growth could have occurred similarly elsewhere?

Correct, it's the same as receipts only thicker paper

Did we even have at least one real manga purist?

That's another huge deviation from the original then. The "Fall" was around 2012 in the manga.

HOT FRESH BREAD

Yeah I noticed it was the same as receipts. I wonder why they don't use ink

They're on Yea Forums but none of them even feel very strongly about it, they just liked it because it was old and kinda obscure, now they can't like it anymore even for that reason.

Thermal paper printers are cheap as shit and don't need much maintenance. They got popular back when laser printers weren't cheap and ubiquitous and you can only imagine how much of a pain in the ass it would have been to use inkjets as point-of-sale receipt printers.
