I don't think it's actually saying that. It's saying religion or otherwise, deity or otherwise, everyone has someone or something that they're really passionate and devout to about, willing to base their life around it. I don't necessarily agree with that either, but it's a bit deeper than what you say.

Also, we're just being silly with our meta-irony and shit, yo.

Before you start talking about sequels. The sequels are NOT happening. Terminator Genisys made the same amount as Alita, but on a slightly lower budget, and the sequels were scrapped. It's over

Religion is human nature, all the giant statues people make of Buddha completely miss the point of Buddhism, as well as the Japanese custom of buying super-expensive carved tombstones from Buddhist temples. If you tell people "no gods, no masters" and they find it inspiring they will make you into a new god.

There's a new Terminator coming out that is a direct sequel to T2 (the others are in an alternate timeline now) and it's being produced by James Cameron

That film also had absolutely no fan base afterwards. Don't underestimate that user.

No? I'm very glad it was made into a movie. It's a very bold and risky decision to make, and it could have failed in so many ways. Major props to Cameron and Rodriguez for pursuing their artistic vision and delivering something unique and visually pleasing.

There are things that I believe don't translate well into live-action and that's where the movie treads on thin ice. Staying faithful to the source material to the still frame was never an option, but that's not why it could be criticized. It cannot support itself on animation and CGI mastery and alone.

>actors doing acting
Gee, dunno.
Probably something related to their job, you think?

>Being a fan of the manga for over 20 years is not really relevant here
My review is in contrast to the self-proclaimed manga purists shitting on the movie.

> It is not perfect though and it's irritating to see how much of the praise sometimes boils down to "It's not capeshit" or "It's not a shit adaptation like Ghost in the Shell (2017)"
Rivalries with movie genres are an annoying distraction. Alita easily stands among the best action/adventure blockbusters of all time. Script and dialog are better than any Star Wars. Characters are much better than Avatar, Matrix, Indiana Jones. The action and visuals are among the best ever done, name a movie with better fight scenes. The characters are on par with Star Wars and maybe even a bit better, the main characters have more emotional gravity than the heroes in Star Wars.

>You have to be critical of it a stand-alone work and demand more of it and its possible sequels, otherwise you can't justify the near cult fandom it generates on this board, especially when anime like Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995) treat the theme of coming-of-age and have equally superb animation despite being 20+ years old.
Eva doesn't come close to Alita in story and character quality, it's an iconic anime but it's memorable for similar reasons to the Matrix or TDK: it perfectly captured the mood of its era. The characters are very interesting but the story is kind of red herring and it ends up with a fairly conventional message, just taking a lot of weird twists and turns to get there.

cont.

Alita isn't just the best US film adaptation of a manga, it's one of the best adaptations of any work to film because 1) the original work was genius, one of the best comics ever done, and 2) the creators faithfully transferred the essence of the original to the screen.

There's room for adaptations that take lots of liberties with the source material too, like Robert Altman's The Long Goodbye, but with Alita, JC and RR took a unique and beautiful work and created a film that kept all that uniqueness and beauty and will stand the test of time. There aren't many adaptations of anything - comics, novels, plays, whatever - that reach that level.

Thanks fren I clearly have another 98 posts to go so I better get on that.

It's all in small moments of human characterization that have nothing to do with how expensive it would have been to animate, that is to say nothing. This is a not to bash on Rosa which I think did a fantastic job but more so on the script which wastes time and at the same time has to cram so much within 2 hours that it skips whatever it can.

Specifically? Okay, an example. When Alita duels Grewishka, it misses a small moment of self-doubt and fear before the underground fight that highlights her insecurity. Her previous cringe speech in the bar is just bravado of course but the movie doesn't stop to show she's more talk than anything, especially since at that point she still has the doll body. Grewishka comes in, shreds the dog, she gets PISSED, puts her eye black, goes down, nearly kicks his ass, etc. This fight cements her character as a good person willing to risk their life to do the right thing, but some nuance is lost in the movie.

MK you did a lot of good work in the early days my friend I'm glad to see you're still around.
I post a fair bit in the quit hours here but that's because of my location in the world.

She isn't more talk than anything. She's legitimately "drawn to conflict without hesitation" and willing to fight to the death against a powerful opponent.

The bar speech is genuine, not just bravado, and she backed it up by fighting the Kansas patrons. The bar speech failed because words alone would not convince the hunters, actions speaking louder than words is a major theme in the movie. Almost every promise made in the movie is broken.

Alita does feel fear in the Grewishka fight, this comes through some of her expressions after jumping underground.

I think for all that people make jokes about lewds a lot of us identify with the actual spirit of Alita's character. I don't want to be a cyborg girl, but I admire her tenacity and reflection on the world which she finds herself in.

On the contrary, it's not sketch at all. Shooting isn't allowed there though.

Alita is as far from obscenity as possible for a character.
There is no problem to imagine Alita in a sexual situation. Alita with the Fourth. Alita is not a child, not an innocent lamb.
But it is so out of history that it is simply not interesting.
Her will power, her attempts to find a way to do the right thing in a terrible world.

Well I hope enough other people share your sentiments. I can be fairly certain at least 2 or 3 CO anons can be rangled at minimum. It's an amazing place, I've been there once but the time I went I was going on 30 hours without sleep on arrival, only to find out it was the last day the park was open for the season, so without sleeping I promptly hiked for 6 hours until my friend had to quit due to fatigue (she's fat and out of shape.) I didn't finish making camp until late into the night, and it was a very cold night. I slept maybe a few hours amidst it all.

Despite everything though, it was my most memorable trip in a long time. As corny as it sounds, I felt a sort of spiritual connection with the place, and it fed me energy and enthusiasm out of the ether.

Godspeed you madman

I think this is a misunderstanding of the Pareto principle. That principle doesn't say that 80% of the EFFORT is done by 20% of the people. It says that 80% of the USEFUL RESULTS come from 20% of the people. I'm more than willing to believe that 20% of the posters here make 80% of the GOOD OC - just look at the most prolific OC creators, whether they be namefags or not. But that doesn't apply to raw post numbers, since all that's needed to make a post is to pass a captca.
If you look at a sales staff - the bad sellers likely put in at least the same number of hours and calls to customers as the good ones. In fact, the best sellers can likely go home sooner because they've sold enough to get all the bonuses before lunchtime, and anything more is just flexing.

I just use iMovie (free with Mac), and then convert to webm with online-convert.com. For files for Yea Forums I check the "disable audio track" checkbox, and I play around with the screen size and bitrate to make the files size fit.
I made the "Alita rolling past seething Disney fans.webm", and that was really at the limit of what i can do in iMovie.

Yeah I think that's a reasonable point

On the verge of #500, and since we're halfway to our goal, it's worth taking a moment to reflect on the journey thus far. Don't forget what brought you here in the first place, and what keeps you here. Have a peaceful night everyone and here's to being over the hill.

Attached: 1552996047675.jpg (1242x806, 1.21M)

This is a good post. I came here somewhere around thread 200. Because I refuse to taint my Alita viewing experience with crappy camrips, I haven't seen the movie for nearly a month. At this point, what brings me back here is one part habit, one part community, and one part OC.

I think that's OK though. I don't want to get burned out watching the movie too much, and I want my initial blu ray viewing to be as magical as possible.

Everything in moderation. Remember not to neglect your own needs in the pursuit of this fandom, frens. It's going to be a long road to a sequel, so try to live your lives the fullest in the meantime.

And as has been mentioned before too, if anything happens to us here and we scatter for a bit, remember that we'll always come back once news hits. The sequel reunion tour will be a riot.

While there are many transitory elements to this journey, I for one hope to take something lasting out of this whole thing. I think the people I meet because of Alita might be her greatest gift.

still no HD stream or torrent? People really don't care about this film.

People care plenty, but when there is no dvd/blu ray to rip, it's kind of hard to have an HD stream or torrent.

Also
>not buying a dvd/blu ray to support Alita
It's just you that doesn't care, apparently.

Ah spittu-user glad you're still around. We'll see how things develop with the ideas that I have.

like dredd?

Yes, even though he's done some interesting research in psychometry, he's mostly known for pop psychology stuff of questionable validity Anyway, Petersonmemes in Alita and Aquaman, in which the ones in Alita are more significant while they're more surface level in Aquaman:
- Pinocchio: Alita herself is a variation Pinocchio, with Ido as Geppetto and Hugo as the street urchin who lures her into Vector's circus act. In Aquaman, the Pinocchio reference is more on the nose and surface level, as they literally ride inside a whale and look at the Pinocchio book.
- Rescuing your father from the underworld: Aquaman rescues his mom from the literal underworld. Alita rescues Ido more figuratively - because while they never leave the underworld of Iron City, Ido is healed by her. He also rescues her more concretely from the Underworld below Iron City.
- The over-protective mother: Ido is this to Alita when he refuses her the Berserker body.
- Don't bother kids when they're skateboarding: Ido again, except now with motorball.
- Pet a cat when you encounter one on the street: The dog.
- Lobsters: How Alita behaves with the hunter-warriors. Lobsterpeople in Aquaman (again, surface-level).
- Hero's journey

In Alita there's also a mass of obvious and less obvious references to Judeo-Christian and other classical myth, from Alita as a Christ-like figure, to the Book of Enoch parallels that David Stewart made a youtube video about.

I wonder if we'll get to "There’s No Such Thing as a Dragon" in the sequel.

Dredd bombed almost incomprehensibly hard and yet there's still talks of a TV show. Have faith.

Yeah there's flops and then there's bombs like this.

>communists pray to Einstein

I don't understand how a movie that good could flop that hard, you would think it was White Girls 2 or something.

plenty of films that release earlier have already been out on blu ray, I'm guessing the distributor is not that interested in releasing it now; 'cause you know, no one cares about it. What is the point of "supporting Alita"? All the money made from home release will just go in Fox's pockets. There's like 3 movies in the entire history of filmmaking that had a sequel because of good DVD numbers.

>Pinocchio
I wonder if Zalem is Pleasure Island in this analogy; not sure yet.

>making this post so soon after someone makes a Dredd box office post

Bad timing user, even Dredd got a home video release, Alita absolutely will. As for sequels, that's still up in the air, but we have no reason to believe as of yet that it won't happen.

There are rumors passed around on Twitter that TSG Entertainment (owned by Chip Seelig and financed by Magnetar and Polybona from China) guaranteed the financing of Alita in return for extended rights to the sequels. That would mean that they wanted a stake in a sequel even if Alita: Battle Angel lost money - and that it was never so much about how much money it made as it was about proving that they would make their money back on the project as a whole. Of course, if it had been a legitimate box office bomb, that would have been the end of it - but if that rumor is true it adds credence to Cameron's statement about a sequel if people like it. And that Cameron wouldn't need to fund it all from his personal war chest.

Ok, I'm not even mad, if this is Jerome, I'm frankly kind of amused.

Attached: 1556653504351.png (480x475, 266K)

Yeah like it's clear that Alita has an impact even with a terribly mismanaged marketing and release, so the next question is clearly imagine how high it could rise with the proper care.

I got a better idea. Up your OP game or never OP /ALITA/ again. K?

I'm supposed to be finishing my thesis but I haven't even started. Probably gonna need to do an extra year.

I might have to consider adding the (vamps) as a faction, since now I can tell there are at least two of us making this OC, or three counting writefag.

Kek you guys are the greatest.

Also VA has done at least one although I can't promise that I'll personally get any more vamp stuff out any time soon.

kek at the triforce being off-centre

Actual, correct Triforcing is a lost art dating to before the Fall, so this is just a best-effort representation.

My grandma lives about 20 miles north of there. On a clear day you can see the dunes from her front yard. If there is gonna be a meet up there we need to go to the alligator farm or crocodile deserve or whatever its called. Its a little north of the sand dunes.
If you want to ride the snake in the desert I suggest Moab, UT instead. Its actual desert. These dunes look like the desert but they are actually just a pile of sand blown into an area next to mountains. Besides the mountains on the east the rest of the area is flat dry sage brush / farm land. Its all private land.

>I don't understand how a movie that good could flop that hard

Yes, it was random people I know because I did it just once, but one person started it by consistently posting it.

Our reward is to drop in on threads and see our work or re edits of our work. We may not make these lists but our OC will be around forever. I think its better that way. Name fagging OC cheezy on an anonymous image board. It leaves a taint on the OC I feel.

Completely agree, that's why I used that gif.

Anonymous. Not your real name of course. Just an insignificant girl.
I have no need to namefag, and I have the same motivation as you, but I think the namefags are cute as long as they keep it a gimmick for their OC and don't make it an ego thing.

Namefagging is a more meaningful thing to anons who actually go to meets, since those anons actually know each other IRL, and might like to be able to connect posts with people from time to time.

>I'd much rather people pirate it than buy it on DVD
wtf?

I mean really it's not that weird, considering Jerome has probably the most consistently prolific mention rate of any personality in /Alita/ for as long as I've been here. He's like Trump, Obama, Monsanto and the NRA all rolled into one entity and relabeled to be a relatable villain for us.

I don't care how you justify it, namefagging has no place on an user image board. Go to fucking facebook if you need names attached to art and persons.

The war between namefags and people bitching about namefags is going to continue until Yea Forums removes namefag functionality, Yea Forums gets erased, the internet gets shut down, or the world ends.
