ÏTT: Movies that are better than the source material
I'm going to say Alita: Battle Angel
based, the bible was so fucking boring to read.
The shining
How many Stephen King adaptations DON'T fall into this category?
Fucking beat me to it.
hardly any, The Mist was one of the ones that was better as a movie
HD stream when
Not this one
Wait you actually like Stephen King books?
from the perspective of somebody who saw the movie before reading the book, the movie is far superior IMO. the book is babby level that a 10 year old would find simplistic.
First Blood
bait
bait
battle of the five armies was terrible though, previeous 2 were pretty good, could've been great if it weren't for the unnessisary CGI
w-what's he doing to that elfen maiden?
putting meat back on the menu
this and literally every videogame movie except for SH2
Are we talking story-wise? Because the actual gameplay of SF is far and away better than most fighting games of modern day and the past.
>Are we talking story-wise?
what board are we user?
Last of the Mohicans. Back in the 19th century, Mark Twain wrote a review of it that absolutely tore it to pieces. It’s obvious that Michael Mann read it, because he basically fixed every one of the problems that Twain complained about.
>the book is babby level that a 10 year old would find simplistic.
No shit? It's literally a childrens' book.
this, and actually the gene wilder willy wonka is a lot more entertaining than the book as well. I like Roald Dahl fine, but that movie's rep as a classic is well deserved.
Agreed, a lot of stephen king works better as a movie, although there are definitely some pretty big exceptions. IT and the The Stand are both much better as books for instance.
Nah, as much as I'd love to give the nod to yet another scenery-chewing McDowell villain, the comics have this one by a mile.
Well I'm going through and reading the manga's atm, and they bretty based ngl.
I like the movie better tonally, I think the super edgy grimy tone of the comic was really off-putting.
>the book is babby level that a 10 year old would find simplistic
the movie is inanimate object level that a brain damaged invertebrate would find simplistic, so it's not much of a contest
...
but Alita in movie form was still far better narratively tho.
Whoop's look's like I missed a few. Probably missing many more...
I saw the movie super late and never bothered with the general, what made the /Alita/ threads so bad? Was it solely rampant waifufaggotry?
Yeah I really like both of them, they both serve different purposes for different folks.
Blessed numbers, but there wasn't much bad about the Alita threads, there wasn't even that much waifuing going on. Just people got mad about there being an /ALITA/ general for so long.
They simply went off topic when they ran out of on topic shit to talk about like all generals.
>off topic
Like what? Other anime adaptations? Normalfaggotry?
>2019
>still milking the slow-motion mid-air jump cliche
that animation is shit by the way, looks like she has no weight, physics is off

It was a better female positivity flick than Cap Marvel but that's all I'll say.
The old testament is quite fun
>/alitrannies/ actually think this looks good
>dilate
LMAO
I thought alitafags just liked cute girls, what's this about them wanting to BECOME cute girls?
You've inadvertently hit on the very reason the trannies identified with the character.
Alita is a constructed female who is effortlessly cute. It is the way they envision themselves, in their delusional way.
I had a suspicion that all these threads featuring alita shit were stealth generals, didn’t actually expect it to be confirmed. Jesus Christ these incels are obsessed with this board and their shit movie.
I just wanna fuck cute cyborgs, nothing more
3D torrent when?
So you're saying that it's precisely because the movie involves construction of a cute girl that it attracts transgenders? And any others film with a cute female cyborg lead wouldn't garner the same attention?
the book of numbers is literally just tolkien appendices but worse
You can see the appeal. Trannies are not real girls and alita is not a real girl. But she's both powerful and attractive, an aspirational figure if ever there was.
>any other film with a cute female cyborg lead wouldn't garner the same attention?
why wouldn't it?
Fantastic Mr Fox is so fucking good that I can't believe it's based on the tiny book I read as a kid.
Based
>physics is off
I can't tell if this is projection or just bad bait
>june 2019
>people are STILL shocked that people are talking about a movie on their Taiwanese tug enthusiast board that they liked
Gotta ask Isaac Newton about that one lad
>omitting the part before that where she leaps about 15 foot through the air
nice try tranny, still looks terrible regardless
I thought Alifags were ephebeophiles, not trannies?
There's not much justification for claiming either of those things
Except for their discord being actually exposed
Yup, Alita fans are the trannies. Not the people constantly, psychotically and irrationally trying to remove it from the board.
Could you point out where there's any proof that any of them are trannies and/or ephebophiles in that collage
>redditor can't understand sarcasm without a visual cue
go back
>trying to deflect from the fact one of your own was retarded enough to oust himself
You fags aren't exactly smart.
>Exposed
There's about as much exposing going on in this cap as there is in the one he keeps spamming.
>actually thinking this wasn't a dig at the alita discord trannies
how does it feel being a mental midget?
>Good afternoon. Please be healed by Arita.
why isnt there a screener of this yet?!?!?!
Ephebeophile is easy since she has young teenager body for a large part of the film, plus anime fans have a propensity towards this fetish given the common age of anime characters
That was a pretty bad movie.
The source material is not worse by any means.
Why does that Orc have a huge nipple?
The old Alita 2 part anime was superior in every aspect.
Hollywood sanitised it, and turned hand drawn artistry into a disastrous CGI ridden flop.
>the OVA was good
No it wasn't.
Nice opinion, but hate to say you're wrong.
Movie was 100x better than source.
Don't believe the Amazon reviews of this shit book.
I have no problem with weebs and weebs-in-denial liking it, but its standard fate Hollywood trash No.34982349823059823059820.
To be fair, the source material was utter garbage as well.
Even on their discord they deny anything...
I already told you i only post the screenshots, al the other shits may be multiple anons for all i care.Funny how you are quick to dismiss the screenshot by pretending they may be fake or fabricated but in the same time you are certain it's only one user who harass you. There is more than one user who wants you out of here. Stop believing theres only one person against you. Start thinking about why you got banned instead and how you should post.
Or you could look at every shit thread made about alita and see its all the same faggots
The anime adaptation was pure homoerotic fun though
is this bait or do people really believe that in the perma general I've noticed on Yea Forums ? you waifufags are something else
>anonymous image board
>it's all the same faggots
I'm jealous of your psychic abilities
You can just lump Alita in with all the rest of todays capeshit. It's no better or worse, you're really splitting hairs if you argue otherwise.
the same kind of faggots. Like in this thread, most people are shitting on it. There barely is any movie talk. It always like that
And everytime there is a thread its mentioned on the discord
Imagine shilling for this flop.
Weird how a discord for people from Yea Forums who want to talk about Alita would want to talk about Ailta on Yea Forums
Really boggles the mind
Weird how they got banned for it too, wondering why...
They didn't get banned for talking about Alita
do you need this explained to you again
Hey thats me!
Dude, do better things with your time.
>Dey got banned for talking about Alita
if you've got the discord why do you have to bring your autism here?
actual trolls
Discord and Yea Forums are different things
Have you seen an /ALITA/ general here since they stopped? No.
Not that hard considering the source material turns into complete shit with Last Order and Mars Chronicles
desolation of smaug was great honestly, I understand the Hobbit trilogy complaints but its still my favorite of all the movies
>Why yes I didn't Enjoy Alita: Battle Angel, how could you tell?
>she leaps about 15 foot through the air
you're right, that's not humanely possible. I guess it's a good thing she's not a human though, right?
>he can't distinguish between generic, soulless, corporate, written-by-a-committee, quip filled disney schlock and soulful, creative, unique, original, passion project by genius James Cameron AKA God of Yea Forums
tastelet detected
But you keep trying to make alita threads happens. It doesnt matter if its a general or not, in the end your waifuing over the character and act like fangirl about the movie. Boasting to having seen it more than ten times, buying every physical media of it, all the dvd blurays and digital all while not seeing why people see you ass the retards. It isnt the fact people talk about alita on this board, but about the kind of people and their posting this bring that they got banned.
So no one is allowed to make a thread remotely relating to Alita now, that makes zero sense... Please think about what your typing before you do, because it makes you look stupid as fuck.
Not if only the assholes on the discord keep them active.
>generic, soulless, corporate, written-by-a-committee, quip filled disney schlock
You just described Anita.
Oh, forgot cringe as well.
not it wasn't
Rodriguez says he hates big productions because ultimately the studio has final say and he likes to be in control
Alita was different because it was like making an independent film with his old pal (Cameron) who has the final say
Cameron and Rodriguez are both grinders who made their way through Hollywood the hard way, without connections
they are hardworking grinders, and you're a fucking faggot
Oh, forgot cringe as well
and how do you enforce that genius?
Even if that was so, which it isn't still makes no sense.
>Only a certain kind of people are allowed to make Alita threads, and even when there not I will still rage and seeth all over the place.
Please get a new hobby.
Your level of getting assblased is quite amusing.
Keep it up.
literally no argument, absolutely no response
I mean I could keep this up but you've already admitted defeat
>get's unequivocally BTFO

Nice try faggot. Godzilla fans are brothers of Alita fans.
Left was much more enjoyable than right
King of the Monsters was fun too watch, but I prefer Alita honestly.
no way fag
Why the fuck is this thread still up ?
Because you keep bumping it to complain about it instead of filtering it like everyone else does.
>Spiderman Into the Spiderverse
>Shazam!
>Dumbo
>US
>Dark Phoenix
>Glass
>John Wick 3
>Dragon Ball Super: Broly

>Probably Godzilla KOTM
Any other film that got BTFO by Alita?
And the list will grow ever bigger as the year goes on and Hollywood releases more shit.
Into the Spider-Verse was really good though so I wouldn't put it on that list
I honestly enjoyed the plot and setup of Dark Phoenix more than Alita. That being said, the execution of the former was dogshit compared to the latter.
as it is now, /alita/ as nowhere to go
threads are not accepted on Yea Forums /m/ or Yea Forums
you can't tell me all these boards aren't filled with pure autism daily, but it is what it is, can't have that single /alita/ thread anywhere
there's also a whole board dedicated to ponies, but hey whatever
I feel like an easy solution would be to just make a board for Yea Forums generals, I don't understand why there isn't one
there's one for video games isn't there?
wouldn't that be better than this pick and choose thing with generals on Yea Forums?
I'm just saying
I fucking love this movie and I think it gets a bad wrap.
The monster at the end spooped the fucking shit out of me as a kid.
>talking about a movie
But you're not talking about it. Just posting the same handful of images over and over again, like sad little desperate fags.
Also peak Lea Thompson
>same handful of images
not to be pedantic but there's easily several thousand images
I was extremely impressed by the CGI at the start of the film, all the normal stuff like is just incredibly well done. Then came the fighting, with shit like and and I thought meh, that's just how it is. Only when she did the gymnastics after getting her new body did I realize that they should just start mo-capping the fighting too, even if it is with wires and in different speeds than the animation. If you fully animate any movement, it's always going to look off to us, we just can't simulate how movement impacts anatomy well enough for the basic skeletal structure to not look rubbery or wooden.
Man, I'm not arguing over 2 + 2 = 5.
If you are weeb(-in-denial) and like Alita, thats totally fine.
But a quality, unique, interesting, film it isn't (or a good adaptation).
Its bog standard, uninspired, cringey, with tons of wasted potential.
It was quite literally a stand alone children's book. Tolkein didn't even intend to write the trilogy until after when the book became a huge success. Also those movies are utter Garbage.
Most of the fighting was mo-capped, anything an actual human was capable of doing
hi
>y-you're not talking about it!
Well yes, that does happen in these threads, but what happens is you start sperging out, spamming junk replies to people, and then act SUPER surprised when your off topic replies get other off topic replies. You're as guilty as everyone else, you faggot.
Honestly the book was pretty good too.
lots of buzzwords, but no actual argument or substance
can't really engage with this trash
I'm not sure you actually watched the movie
>being this defensive
How invested are you in this trash cartoon?
Then why does it look so fucking fake compared to everything else? Her other movements were great, even fluid stuff like jump-crouching in front of the enforcer robot at the beginning or the gymnastics when she got the new body...
>you sad little desperate fags
>how invested are you in this trash cartoon
>wHy ArE yOu BeInG sO dEfEnSiVe
Well it's based off of a manga/anime so in order to be faithful to the action then they had to exaggerate some of it compared to real life.
There's nothing like motorball that actually exists so there's no way to know if it's accurate or not and Alita has an artificial body that is capable of things beyond what a human can do so that's also going to look unnatural because it literally is.
My original post was just a statement of opinion, and not an invitation to a debate. It was not a response to someone else.
Also, I'm not risking wasting my time arguing over the internet with a potential Amerifat retard. sorry, the risk is not worth it for these braindead scum,
they should have just ignored makaku and hugo since they cut away their backstory and just make the whole movie about motorball instead. could have been like speed racer.
Pretty sure that's what the sequel will focus on. I don't think they'd casually show that one motorball champion and hold on him for several seconds if he wasn't going to be playing a major role in a sequel.
your post reeks of lack of self-confidence in your own intellect
for someone who "doesn't want to waste his time", you post a lot of meaningless blabber
but arguing and coming up with actual responses is hard I know, it's much easier to deflect
I've already had this conversation on here and elsewhere.
Restating how the characters and story are generic and uninspired, and how they together with the world have the potential for so much more is useless at this point.
I would just past my comments from elsewhere, but I'm too lazy to translate atm.
Your intellect projection is an amazing "argument" btw, and again I don't see the need to get so butthurt and personal.
I think the film is on the level of other Hollywood trash (actually there have been a couple of half decent ones the past years, like Fury Road). I'm totally fine with people liking it, is not like the average person has a great ability to distinguish quality in art.
Why are you so annoyed that I don't like this movie?
oh, don't worry.
just paste them in your language
How do you expect them to cram it all into 1, 2 hour movie.... at least wait for the sequel...
>I think this film is trash
>I don't care if people like it but people are stupid so they don't realize it's trash
what are subjective opinions
>shit taste : the thread
>seething : the thread
>it is not like the average person has a great ability to distinguish quality in art.
uh-huh sure
>Why are you so annoyed that I don't like this movie?
why would I be annoyed by that?
I'm annoyed but you're inability to come up with anything of substance to say about the movie, which you probably haven't watched anyway
oh and here's your (you)
Bullshit. While the movie isn't bad, the manga is much better.
Last Order and Mars Chronicles are alternate realities. Only the original matters.
inb4 your*
Jaws and No Country for Old Men
you're posts reek of pretension
if you posted your top 10 favorite films you'd get ripped to shreds
It was a good adaptation, but i wouldn't call it better than the manga
The magna is trash though. Cameron tied the story together better. His pacing is also more even.
