[@Seele2015au]

@@adriansue8955 The back story is that Mars is further away from the Sun, compared to Earth, so it's inherently darker than Earth.

[@redmoonbloodmoon3161]

all URM (martians, mars) have "big eyes" and all earth'lings/earth'ians have "small eyes" (science: physics+biology: earth is closer to the sun, so the sunlight taken in, needs to be less, hence the smaller eyes, whereas mars is further from the sun, so the sunlight taken in, needs to be more, hence the bigger eyes) (we only get two see the eyes of two of the URM: Alita and briefly with the flashbacks, of Gelda, all of the other URM, all had their helmets covering their eyes in the flashbacks) (the entire solar system has been colonized, the URM/mars humans are the least changed by their planet, only having the bigger eyes as separation from the humans of earth, whereas the humans of the other 7 planets, are much less recognizable as "humans" (earth-humans / original humans / the humans of earth), and then of course, with all of the planets, you also got the cyberization too, as well (to varying and differing degrees as well)

[@JFrazer4303]

A strange choice for cyborg faces that otherwise could pass as humans. With normal eyes, they could be infiltration agents. Miyazaki of Studio Ghibli (makers of iconic movies like Princess Monnooke and Spirited Away. Worth reacting to) said that anime took the eyes from Disney, who uses it to focus the audience on emotive faces.

[@valashar5313]

James Cameron has had and maintained the film rights to Alita for decades. He knew it would take that long for film technology to advance far enough to make the adaptation possible. Even his best known modern project, Avatar was made with the final goal of pushing the motion/facial capture and CGI technologies far enough to make Alita. And there is a sequel in the works, but it had to wait for Avatar: the Way of Water to be completed. Just like Vin Diesel makes more Fast & Furious movies to build funds for furthering the Riddick franchise, Cameron uses his primary projects to fund his passion projects like this one.

My favorite Alita story is what they did to promote the movie. They had a girl who had outgrown her prosthetic arms, and gave her a set of new arms that matches Alita's

[@TheKyrix82]

@nexus1936 And that promotes the movie...how, exactly? Plus neither Gamora nor Nebula were in a movie at the time, and the sheer bullshit involved in a crossover like that would leech more money out than it would get them. Besides, it already beat the promotional stunt the competing Marvel movie did: Alita gave a little girl new arms, Captain Marvel gave a couple little girls free tickets

38:30 That part of the movie (and manga/anime) is a very important bit of subtlety that many people don't catch. The whole reason Ido didn't give her the combat body, as he stated, was that she was an URM-Beserker in the war. Those bodies are capable of quite literally crushing a regular human without even a thought about it, which is why the Beserkers were the most highly trained warriors for the war (it's explained more across the three manga volumes), as they were designed to combat cyborg humans from the Imperium. The subtlety lies in that she shows immediate familiarity and mastery of the body, by being able to balance on one finger, and then laying against Ido without injuring or crushing him. It was her showing him that she was finally in the body she was quite literally built for, through her years of training with the URM military.

[@aaronbarlow4376]

The world and character building is meant to be slow to establish everything. Her CG was great, she was so endearing and expressive. Hard not to fall in love with her. I work in VFX and I think she looked amazing.

[@Thane36425]

In the manga, Alita did seem to have a problem with remembering faces. Many times she did not recognize even enemies, though it could have been a put on given how much it irritated them. They did use a lot of sets, and foreground sets with CGI backgrounds. Ido's place was a set and many of the street settings had physical sets up close and some background, but once it got to distance views it was CGI. The Deckmen, the thing with the face that dealt with the bounties was worse than you think. They actually had a human brain in them, or part of one. People with nothing left to lose could volunteer to become a deckman, and their brains, or some of it, would be put in the that machine. They were also used in other places as lookouts, gunners, and I think in the centurians as well. The deckmen were not very capable or bright, but they didn't need to be. Ido may have been so afraid of the berserker body because it was capable of destroying the planet. It was capable of "grey gooing" the planet, as happened in the manga to Mercury.

[@Seele2015au]

Glad you like this, one of my favourites, and definitely the favourite movie of Yukito Kishiro, the original author. Doc Ido in the movie is the most complex character, and his journey was about self-redemption. He and his family were kicked out of Zalem as their daughter was disabled, thus not "beautiful" enough for the "perfection" of the place. His work building Motorball competitors resulted in the death of his daughter, so he vowed not to do it ever again, and he kept the body he built for her as a reminder that he failed as a father. The discovery of the broken cyborg was a chance for him to redeem himself as a father who's able to protect and bring up a child, even though he's aware that she's not his daughter. At the locker room, Alita was emotional when Ido presented her with her skates that he made himself: that's when she realized that Ido had completed his redemption as Motorball no longer cast a shadow over him. Unlike some purist viewers who are against any change to the original story, Kishiro himself liked Cameron's changes to the story and said they were improvements. And he was absolutely thrilled during the Motorball sequences: "that's exactly how I wanted it to be!"

[@ponczi]

I won't lie, Alita is my favorite movie. I absolutely adore her❤️ And Rosa Salazar, for playing Alita, became my favorite actress (she made Alita really come to life). Many thanks for Your reaction.

The people who made this movie worked on Avatar, The Titanic and Sin City. No worries I did some research because I actually rewatched the movie yesterday. I asked myself “ how can you end the movie in a way a movie with a sequel will end “. Come to find out the reason why we haven’t seen another movie is because the director/producers for the movie are the ones who worked on the newest Avatar movie along with a tv series on Disney+. Conversation was had with the actors to which all agreed to come and relive their characters and faught for another movie along with the director/producers if the tv series on Disney+ did a good job.

[@skwirralosborne9791]

Bonus info: Cameron spent the time and energy developing effects and technology and basically revolutionized film techniques for something like 10 years working on this movie, and released Avatar as a tech demo *for* Alita! He basically made Avatar to see if his tech was up to the task of doing justice to Alita and when it became super famous and made blazillions of money he has ended up bound to that demo movie but he's going to just put more work into the next Alita

[@ethanholgate2512]

@skwirralosborne9791 not necessarily he decided to make Avatar as he felt the technology was right at the time for it plus that was strictly his passion project he just put alita aside as cameron lost time for it unfortunately cause I would have loved to have seen how he strictly would have made it but Robert Rodriguez did a brilliant job with his script I would say alita was more influential for the cg used in Avatar 2

I remember reading the Manga when I was in school, it was excellent. The movie covered just the first arc. I was stoked when the movie was announced, and it's actually a really good adaptation (the big eyes were not a movie choice, that was actually accurate to the source material). I really hope we get more movies, because the really good arcs are later ones, I think (sweet, optimistic Alita is lovely, but I was always more invested in the more matured, jaded, angry Alita of the later chapters)

[@bbwng54]

Her original large eyes had small pupils, making her face distracting and off putting to many people. Cameron simply increased the size of her pupils that made her eyes more acceptable and less distracting. People familiar with the manga and anime have stated that this is one of the best adaptations from these sources. Of course, every movie has some deviations. Cameron had originally planned to make an Alita movie over 20+ years ago. Hopefully with the success of Avatar 2 we will finally get a sequel. Rosa Salazar did a great job as Alita. This is my favorite movie because it portrays a strong, intelligent female protagonist with good character development with a lot of heart with a good story.

From what I understand the MAIN reason they haven't done the sequel yet is because Cameron is the producer and he's wrapped up with the Avatar movies right now. I know he's not the director but it seems to be enough of his project that it can't move forward without his involvement. The same motion capture stuff with the dots on the actors that they use on Avatar they used in Alita as well from what I can see so I am grateful that Avatar exists so Alita can. It's still a shame because I love both movies so I can't really say forget Avatar and come focus on Alita or vice versa, but if logistics is the problem and time then just get some more assistants James! Like 20! Have meetings, pass them notes, DELIGATE! Try to make it work, please! I want an Alita Battle Angel 2 so bad! We finally get an anime adaptation that is good (let's face it the Samurai X live action exists, we can't say we NEVER had a good anime adaptation, but Battle Angel has a female lead!!)

[@kennethparko1246]

I am just going to say this. Alita as a character is fantastic. You see her start from the very bottom, as literal garbage in a trash yard and through all of the manga you will see her develop. Over time you see her mature and become the protag you envision her to become. Hugo was like young love and doomed from the start. She developes and finds love with someone more on her level. The best thing about her is her ability to overcome. She is flawed like any human and she makes lots of mistakes. Like pissing off Zapan and others but she always finds a way through and becomes stronger as a character. She often has near mental breakdowns but alway finds her inner strength. She is incredibly resilient in that way. Good luck if you decide to read the manga. God Bless.

The first trailer scared me since I have a bit of a fear of certain eyes. However, once I got over that and went to see it in the theater, I thought it was so good. I just want to see unique things and good action and that’s what I got. RIP Hugo. While him dying twice is kind of ridiculous, I found it even more tragic since all the hard work to keep him alive turned out to be pointless. I’d be devastated in that situation if I was Alita. When/if a sequel ever comes, I’m likely to be there.

[@Mangolite]

I do hope that James Cameron can continue one of his passion projects after the Avatar series.

[@LeeCarlson]

Actually "motor ball" is a lot like "Rollerball" if you have ever seen the movie from the 70s.

[@KERRYPIKE]

Alita battle angel is a great live action anime movie.

[@RedPandaGirl002]

Alita should fight Gamora or Nebula. That definitely would be something I wanna see! 😁

[@rakuengrowlithe4654]

Alita is amazing! I read the manga years ago and the film perfectly captures the look and feel of it. It's exactly what you would imagine from reading it. The only minor difference is the violence and gore is toned down. It gets messy in the manga! I kinda wish they did a different part of the story though, this segment has been done in the manga and in the anime adaptation and now in the live-action film. But I guess it is the start so it makes the most sense.

[@RedPandaGirl002]

She should fight either Gamora or Nebula. I'd LOVE to see that happen! 😉😁

[@magical_pixie_horse7346]

I think when Hugo thanked Alita for saving him, I think he meant from his obsession with Zandar.

[@mayavp]

I love this movie so much! ❤

[@3DJapan]

They did build the sets practically. Like 6 blocks if I recall.

[@Paul-D-Hoff]

In the Manga, it was said that Alita's eyes were bigger than normal.

[@lechat8533]

It`s always so much fun with you, guys :))) Thank you!❤❤❤

[@moriquendion]

5:10 Alita means "little wing" in spanish

[@noamz9527]

This movie really has the anime feel.

[@ArturZmienko]

James Cameron and Robert Rodriguez are such fans of anime they have plans for sequels and to tell whole story if it gets green light it is anyones guess but there are talks about ABA 2

[@theawesomeman9821]

Not bad for an adaptation of an anime.

[@johnpaullogan1365]

hugo by the way i'm not sure is dead in the movie. in the source he definitely died but there were a number of changes in his story. we saw his body cut in parts but he seemed okay otherwise and then he fell. they never showed a dead body. it wouldn't make any sense she never verified his death but movies have pulled weirder stuff off

[@michaelvincent4280]

Word has it that they're getting together to make part 2.

[@copeboy25]

They have definitely talked about making a sequel to it and they want to make it just have to get Disney to get it done

[@kscmyri]

you heard that james cameron is working on movie 2-4. he said that on an interview not long ago. i loved the movie. i hope movie 2 can hold on to the action und story.

[@janandreiquebrado3380]

YES FINALLY A REACTION VIDEO FOR ALITA BATTLE ANGEL.

[@Randomyoutubecommenter]

I was waiting for this reaction for a long time. Sucks Stella isn’t in it but still great reaction and great movie nonetheless

[@DamonMarsh]

Ok so don't quote me on what I'm about to say, this is only memory from back when it came out. Cameron was going to do Alita before Avatar i think but decided to fully concentrate on Avatar. Rosa Salazar played the part of Alita, motion capture was fused with CGI so all movements and facial expressions were Rosa's. There most likely would have been a sequel but Disney bought 20th Century Fox who made Alita and they put any hope of a sequel on the back burner. At the same time Alita was coming out, Disney's/Marvel Studios Captain Marvel was coming out and they did not want Alita to take any attention away from CM, their priority and the MCU. From memory even months before the movie came out, there were many pro Disney/marvel websites and critics already bagging it out before they even watched it. The movie did better outside of the US and from memory many Americans didn't even know it existed and also had a huge problem with the size of her Eyes not being a country familiar with Manga and Alita from the original comic. This movie created a lot of talk and debate in 2019/20 on the web and the character gained a lot of love and some hate depending on what side of the fence you were.

[@ronnyschedler24285]

That street motorball scene totally reminded me of the park football scene in Romeo Must Die with Jet LI and Aaliyah. Romeo Must Die and Kiss Of The Dragon would also be two great movies for you guys to react to.

[@cmudd9788]

So glad to see that someone else appreciates Romeo Must Die. My favorite Jet Li movie and one of the best soundtracks ever. RIP Aaliyah

[@aaronbarlow4376]

It was meant to have a sequel. It's such a brilliant film but wasn't marketed enough.

[@edgarcia4794]

Alita was SO DARN lovable the movie was great for me.

[@RedPandaGirl002]

She should fight Gamora or Nebula since she has really cool fighting style.

[@RedPandaGirl002]

Who would win that one??

[@ashuradragosani5960]

I was unsurprised at Hugo's fate, having read the manga years before the movie came out. There is talk of a number 2, but nothing concrete. This is like the first 6 chapters, if I remember correctly. It has been years since I read the manga too. in the manga one of her features was her large eyes. If I remember the whole face was CG'd.

[@AIWIZARDDT]

This and Ready Player One are my favs because of how much they surprised me. I saw this one in theaters and I thought I was going to be disappointed.
