The fact that the live action adaptation adapted the anime so well, makes me wonder how good other live action adaptations could've been, if given the right treatment. The only successful anime adaptation. Loved this movie.
the treatment with live action adaption is purely based on whether the people doing it are a fan of the anime/manga, i still get nightmares with how bad dragonball evolution was
@@edgarcia4794One Piece is ok. Not a big fan of some of the casting. Nami is maybe the worst casting of all. She is supposed to he much more of a girly girl, not a husky voiced tomboy. Also they left out certain physical aspects of the characters that are essential, like Usopp's nose and Sanji's curly eyebrows. They don't have to be as exaggerated as in the anime, but they should be there. Also not a big fan of the way the arcs were crammed together (necessary, but has to be done right). There were heartfelt moments in the anime that fell flat for me in the LA, like the scene between Luffy and Nami after Luffy destroys Arlong's place. It hit hard in the anime, but completely failed in the LA. Still, it's not horrible, and has it's own charm. Waiting to see how it goes as more characters are introduced.
I love how unhinged Alita is. She can be the sweetest girl but she'll chop off your head if you piss her off. And if she likes you? She'll literally pull out her own heart for you. Very intense for a second date 😂
This was James Cameron's pet project. He's been sitting on the rights to adapt the manga since the 90s. James Cameron's Dark Angel (2000) starring Jessica Alba and Michael Weatherly was an earlier attempt.
he debated doing this or Avatar first. he decided to do Avatar as a test for the techniques this movie needed but he never got the chance to take it any further. it's only because Robert Rodriguez manage to rewrite the script down to a 2 hour film that Cameron did something he's never done before in his career - gave it to someone else to direct
Loved Dark Angel ❤❤ Still my favorite TV show of all time...still have the season DVDs. Still pissed off that FOX cancelled it after 2 seasons for stupid Firefly....
@TakakiM-sr1df I think he said it was in the makings last year in an interview while Avater2 was trending. im not sure where but it's just what I heard about🤷♂️
As of last year, Cameron and Rodriguez are both actively working on sequels (two sequels supposedly) and Rosa Salazar (Alita) is also "signed up" for them to return. They are all going to be involved. Now, when we might get those sequels, who knows. The movie's budget was around $200 M and it grossed just about $400 M, so not a flop but it barely broke even, I think. Mr. Waltz also wants to come back as well - but there may be a time jump depending on the story they might want to go with since Rodriguez said they may jump some time ahead. I can't find that interview online anymore, so maybe it was something else he was talking about or I'm mixing it up with something else.
I really liked the adaptation. It did it's best to keep it's identity while not trying to be a lifeless clone of the original. I.e. some other remakes this year.
@@oshwaganda Like your idea! Yeah actually, I found that idea in a fanfiction on the internet not too long ago and it had Alita in the MCU and she encountered the Galaxy Guardians and it had the part where she dueled Gamora! It was SUPER sweet to see!! 😃 I tried looking/reading for the part if she got to fight Nebula but unfortunately, it did not have it. ☹ But would it be like for Alita to duel Nebula? Note: There WAS a little detail of when it said, "Nebula stayed out of the way and this mystery girl is MORE formable than her sister, Gamora." But what's your thoughts on it?
Jon Landau, the co-producer, was one of the most vocal supporters of the fanbase's campaigns to encourage Disney to greenlight an Alita sequel. Jon recently passed away. We can only hope that we will one day see a sequel, and we will keep Jon in our hearts as we watch.
I want a sequel. Yall are my fave Reject couple. Yall dont ask questions to which you were already given answers to and you retain information. Also the continued battle of Andrew trying to get Roxy to umderstand references is adorkable.

This was another example of why you want people who at least respect, and preferably love, the source material to do the adaptations. This was a real labor of love, you have to watch the making-of features.
Oh you guys got to check out the prosthetic arms that were made based on the movie and there was this little girl who got brand new arms just like alita's and she got to go to the red carpet and pose with her and everything
When the assistant said Akita was older than ISO thought, she means Akita was an adult rather than a teenager. This is because her new body configured to look like an adult. As in bigger, you know...
I think it was also for the relationship with the guy. The first body made her look more 16 and the guy was closer to 20+. So, to adapt her body to be more adult so they could have that kiss without her looking like a minor. I myself didn't thinking of that, but I saw a comment from a previous reaction mention that.
Alita was given the dancer/runner (whatever it was) body (that was to be) for Ido's (and Chiren's) dead young (teen or kid) daughter, and Ido, wanting his dead daughter back in Alita, treated her and thought of her as being his young teen/kid daughter, but Alita is no teen, nor kid, but rather a great great great grandmother, lol (well, I mean, in years, as she's 300 years old), Alita is an adult, and so, the Berserker Suit/Body, merely shaped itself into Alita's actual body, the body of an adult woman, hence her slightly larger chest (she's hardly big, lol, probably a 'b' cup, or at most, a 'c' cup, I think), and probably it gave her a slightly wider hips too, and maybe a bit bigger backside too, but I'd have to go back to see/check on her lower body, if it changed at all or not
I unabashedly love this movie. I have had the poster hanging up in my room for forever. Rosa is Alita to me. Now Hugo is the weak link of the movie and while he's not a bad actor everyone else is blowing him out of the water and you certainly believe Alita's love but Hugo's love or lack there of feels flat.
About "Looks like shes a little older than you thought," Ito had fixed up her face with his daughter Alita in mind and used parts of his daughters body. The new body shapes itself automatically based on her image of herself and in her own mind she is a young soldier, not a child.

@@peterlenham3180 it is for the genre. It’s a beautiful homage to the manga and anime. This is hands-down, the greatest anime live action adaptation we’ve ever got.

There absolutely needs to be a sequel based on how it ended. Highly underrated film. Watch Hardcore Henry if you havent seen it. Incredible first person view film.
I've been entreating everyone I know to watch this movie ever since it came out. Truly a monumental film, heroic, grand, powerful and spectacle! It so freakingly deserves a sequel!
Alita is such a wonderful character. So selfless and powerful is just such a hard balance to show and the movie works specifically bc Salazar brought it all out!
Now just imagine if James Cameron had made dragon Ball evolution, avatar the last Airbender and ghost in the Shell, imagine how accurate and successful the live action adaptation world would be.
@@backtoearth1983not sure this is a white knighter sitch. Hes not coming in to defend a random stranger or anything. Sounds like he simply wishes a different filmmaker adapted certain types of films more accurately. Also, you can never trust what writers say about adaptations. They may be speaking honestly, but many are paid to help promote the film and sign NDAs.
GiTS looked amazing, but was a dud storywide. They straight up neutered the Major, removing her callous tactical badassery, in lieu of a more personal story.
@@RedPandaGirl002 Alita is insanely OP (she was uber nerfed in this movie due to her "amnesia", blocking access to her full panzer kunst capabilities), and while she's near the top in her verse/world, she's still not the top... there's some others that are even more OP than Alita is within their verse/world, but I don't want to spoil anything, so can't say really much more about all of this stuff Alita is manga/anime, Gamora and Nebula are so completely outclassed by Berserker Alita, it wouldn't even be funny, it would be a slaughter, a massacre...
I am excited for this reaction, I remember the first time I watched this movie, I doing work experience in England and I went with my dad to the cinemas to see it, I think around that time it had just come out, but that was one of the best experiences I had in a cinema, it is such a good movie, and the cast was great and how it was filmed was so well done.
I LOVE this movie! Hugo reminds me a lot of that kid who played Jimmy Olsen in the Lois & Clark tv show in the 90's with Dean Cain. I would LOVE to see a Batman Beyond crossover with this! Ever since that first The Mandalorian episode Rodriguez directed, he has been keep giving all types of hints & feeding our hopes of an Alita sequel. I think around the time when Avatar 2 came out, James Cameron & Rodriguez talked at the premiere about an almost guaranteed sequel to this movie. Not just a sequel, which I would LOVE, but I also want to see a prequel.
There is the fact that you 2 watch the best movies. It does help considerably. You're on screen banter is also entertaining so that also helps considerably.
Here’s a fun fact about this movie Robert Rodriguez makes his own chocolate…. so that scene where she takes a bite of that big bar chocolate was made by him…. you should definitely see an episode of chef where they go to his house and whoever shows up there they make their own meals mostly pizza but it’s pretty awesome
This movie came out the same time as Captain Marvel and there was so much negative press that the movie didn't get nearly enough people to go see it in the theaters.
So sad it didn’t get recognition in theaters. I saw it opening weekend and it was pretty packed. I went back 18 more times and after the 3rd viewing the theaters were empty.
I remember the first reaction you both did together and it was kind of awkward since you didn't know each other that well. You guys have come such a long way and feels like you've known each other for years now. You are in fact a great duo.
57:49 MAN, this scene is such a good EPIC FREAKING SCENE!! It’s a story about social hierarchy and the inability to move up in social class. It literally means death…
Just saying. You and Andrew and You and John are the BEST! Obsessed with your videos + the whole of the Reel Rejects crew. Too many hours spent watching the channels vids but I’m not complaining
Roxy and Andrew, a duo more dynamic than Batman and Robin. Alita Battle Angel incredible movie, top notch world building, live action Anime done right.
Another movie on my Underrated Peak Movie list. Bullet Train, Ready Player One, Alita Battle Angel, Age Of Ultron, King Arthur 2018, Doctor Sleep, Ready Or Not, And a few others
People who have not read the manga don't understand how far means "up there" ( beyond zalem, far beyond ! ) and what it cost her to know who she really is.
This movie was so good when it came out. Does such a fantastic job of adapting the manga. It was a genuine pleasure to see this in theater in 3D it's so beautiful.
Alita: Battle Angel 2 is in the works, as confirmed by producer James Cameron in July 2023. The sequel was originally planned to debut in 2023, but as of July 2024, no release date has been announced.
I'm sure others point it out, but this is based on an Anime OVA (1993) which is based on a Manga (1990-2006) Cameron put aside the Alita sequel to do the Avatar series
The comment I was looking for!!! I read all of the series in the late 90's. I remember waiting for a new volume every two months, all of that or the author to change the end and redo the entire series. It's a great story!!
@@ParisianEbonyI'm gonna be honest. Even if it's rushed I prefer the original ending. The rewritten story is just toooo long and I'm not a fan of Motorball...
There actually is a sequel in active development, so we will likely get to see more of these characters and this world. Whenever it gets made is anyone's guess, though.
I'm in my late 40's and this is one of my favourite movies ever. Okay there is a long list of great older movies that are on my top list, but of recent, this has to be my favourite. I think I've seen this movie in the short few years since its release as many times as I've seen other greats like 'The Neverending Story', 'E.T.', 'Goonies', 'Thrashin'', 'Back to the Future', etc. There are some movies that just never get old no matter how many times you've seen it and this is definitely one of the top.
I was so happy with this adaptation i went out and bought the manga right away and it matched up nicely. It did well at the Box Office too so I’m hoping Disney will make another one. Love you guys!
It actually didn’t do well at box office that’s the thing na it barely recovered the total cost (budget and marketing) abd it was reported it may even was a loss not a big one though but still a LOSS
The bounty hunter Zappan was the villain Ajax aka Francis in Deadpool. He was also Dario Noharris in a season of Game of Thrones, before the role was recast the following season.
Frikkin' love this movie! I was worried about the low promotion so I went to see this movie four times in the theatre to try and boost the numbers. Still waiting for the sequel! Cameron, Rodriguez, Salazar are all ready to go!! So many great scenes taken from the OVA, one of my favs. I bought the BluRay as soon as it was available. Still need to read the manga, honestly. Actually I'm adding them to my read list… Great reaction, you two! Loved the speculation, and it shows how well this was written that all of your questions get answered throughout the film.
I've been a fan of alita battle angel manga ( gunnm) since 1998, I even become a professional illustrator because of that manga. the joy I had when I watch this on the big screen is so overwhelming. and the manga is still not yet finished until this day. the third ark called "the mars chronicle" is still on going. great manga guys. and I wish they would make a sequel to this movie.
Nice to see your an Alita fan. So am I! 😃 I think she's an AWESOME and OUTSTANDING fighter! 👏👊💢 She and Gamora (or Nebula too) from _Guardians_ should fight for in a one-on-one combat battle! What do you think??
@@RedPandaGirl002 thanks,, I think she will be on par with nebula and gamore in fighting capabilities, but if you read the manga's latest chapter, let's just say, spoiler alert, alita has a very strong and enhanced new body, like very enhanced scifi new elements nano tech stuff. so..but gamora and nebula both raised in battle,, still hard to decide who will win..
This doesn’t look or feel like a Robert Rodrigues movie at all. Watching this on the big screen was awesome, it’s such a bad-ass movie, I love it. It needs a sequel big time.
Yk, with Alita being a great and awesome fighter, I'm wondering 🤔... what if she was in a one-on-one combat battle duel for either: Alita vs. Gamora or Alita vs. Nebula Who would win?
Alita Battle Angel/ GUNNM was the first set of Manga books I've ever collected, the movie did such a great job adapting a lot of scenes from it and the two anime OVAs, really hoping to see a sequel someday
I just wanted to mention something that you guys were asking about. When Alita offered Hugo her heart to help pay his way up to Zalem, she meant she'd get a "standard" heart probably from Ido and sell her advanced heart. I mean, she didn't say this, but it must be what she meant. She needs a cyborg heart, but she figures she may not need the advanced heart. But then, she may not have been considering that the URM body probably needs the advanced heart to function properly. If she had gotten Ido's help to switch hearts, I'm sure he would have told her this or he'd be afraid to try it with the URM technology he doesn't know well enough.

it was supposed to be a trilogy but it was a flop so it's unlikely to ever happen
@@synaesthesia2010 From what I can find the 2nd one is already in the works, but has no release date.
I've been entreating everyone I know to watch this movie ever since it came out. Truly a monumental film, heroic, grand, powerful and spectacle! It so freakingly deserves a sequel!
Alita is such a wonderful character.
So selfless and powerful is just such a hard balance to show and the movie works specifically bc Salazar brought it all out!
Love the world building in this. We need a sequel!
When she says ‘older than you thought’ she’s referring to cup size… the suit changing to show her perception of her self … and age.
Now just imagine if James Cameron had made dragon Ball evolution, avatar the last Airbender and ghost in the Shell, imagine how accurate and successful the live action adaptation world would be.
When the actuial creator of Ghost In The Shell says he likes the movie and it's casting -.it's time to stand down white knighter.
@backtoearth1983 The author is just being diplomatic. He's still wrong.
Actually, no, that doesn't guarantee anything. Might be good, might be bad.
@@backtoearth1983not sure this is a white knighter sitch. Hes not coming in to defend a random stranger or anything. Sounds like he simply wishes a different filmmaker adapted certain types of films more accurately. Also, you can never trust what writers say about adaptations. They may be speaking honestly, but many are paid to help promote the film and sign NDAs.
GiTS looked amazing, but was a dud storywide. They straight up neutered the Major, removing her callous tactical badassery, in lieu of a more personal story.
Welcome to the Alita Army! That's what we fans call ourselves.
"How does it look like that?" She went up a cup size or two when the body realligned with her subconscious image of herself.
Best Anime/Manga filming so far love it so much and Jim C. is working on Part II love you man!
Yk, I was thinking of an interesting idea for Alita 💡:
What if she fought Gamora (or Nebula) for in a one-on-one combat battle duel? Who would win??
@@RedPandaGirl002 Not the same universe but alita i think, Gamora isnt strong enough and Nebula maybe but no i think.
@@AndreSchumann-oq7vv Ok
@@RedPandaGirl002 Alita is insanely OP (she was uber nerfed in this movie due to her "amnesia", blocking access to her full panzer kunst capabilities), and while she's near the top in her verse/world, she's still not the top... there's some others that are even more OP than Alita is within their verse/world, but I don't want to spoil anything, so can't say really much more about all of this stuff
Alita is manga/anime, Gamora and Nebula are so completely outclassed by Berserker Alita, it wouldn't even be funny, it would be a slaughter, a massacre...
Where are my Battle Angel Alita fans at?
Right here.
ME!!! 🙋♀️😃 Yk, been thinking...
Alita should fight either Gamora or Nebula for a one-on-one combat battle!
Wdyt?
Great movie! The cool waterfall cave scene was shot in Austin,Tx at Mckinney Falls State Park!
I forgot how absurdly stacked the cast of this movie is
I am excited for this reaction, I remember the first time I watched this movie, I doing work experience in England and I went with my dad to the cinemas to see it, I think around that time it had just come out, but that was one of the best experiences I had in a cinema, it is such a good movie, and the cast was great and how it was filmed was so well done.
I remember the Anima as a teen in the 80's. I was glad they did a Nice job with this.
This was the first movie I went to alone and I did not regret it. I definitely want a sequel!
I LOVE this movie! Hugo reminds me a lot of that kid who played Jimmy Olsen in the Lois & Clark tv show in the 90's with Dean Cain. I would LOVE to see a Batman Beyond crossover with this! Ever since that first The Mandalorian episode Rodriguez directed, he has been keep giving all types of hints & feeding our hopes of an Alita sequel. I think around the time when Avatar 2 came out, James Cameron & Rodriguez talked at the premiere about an almost guaranteed sequel to this movie. Not just a sequel, which I would LOVE, but I also want to see a prequel.
The girl u thought was Florence Pugh is actually Michelle Rodriguez. I didn’t even know I had to pause and go check. lol.
There is the fact that you 2 watch the best movies. It does help considerably. You're on screen banter is also entertaining so that also helps considerably.
I'm looking for FRANCIS! 🤣
Great reaction guys, love this movie.
Here’s a fun fact about this movie Robert Rodriguez makes his own chocolate…. so that scene where she takes a bite of that big bar chocolate was made by him…. you should definitely see an episode of chef where they go to his house and whoever shows up there they make their own meals mostly pizza but it’s pretty awesome
Netflix “Chef Show” - thoroughly entertaining streaming food feature content
Can't believe it's their fifth anniversary and it was released early 2019
This movie came out the same time as Captain Marvel and there was so much negative press that the movie didn't get nearly enough people to go see it in the theaters.
Yea I remember and after that people been saying it’s 10 times better than Captain Marvel 😂
So sad it didn’t get recognition in theaters. I saw it opening weekend and it was pretty packed. I went back 18 more times and after the 3rd viewing the theaters were empty.
The chocolate bar that Alita eats in the movie was made by Robert Rodriguez, who directed the movie.
I remember the first reaction you both did together and it was kind of awkward since you didn't know each other that well. You guys have come such a long way and feels like you've known each other for years now. You are in fact a great duo.
This film is HIGHLY underrated.
57:49 MAN, this scene is such a good EPIC FREAKING SCENE!! It’s a story about social hierarchy and the inability to move up in social class. It literally means death…
super underrated movie, been waiting for the sequel for ever
Just saying. You and Andrew and You and John are the BEST! Obsessed with your videos + the whole of the Reel Rejects crew. Too many hours spent watching the channels vids but I’m not complaining
Roxy and Andrew, a duo more dynamic than Batman and Robin.
Alita Battle Angel incredible movie, top notch world building, live action Anime done right.
As long as I’m Robin! Answer has the better Batman voice.
Another movie on my Underrated Peak Movie list. Bullet Train, Ready Player One, Alita Battle Angel, Age Of Ultron, King Arthur 2018, Doctor Sleep, Ready Or Not, And a few others
People who have not read the manga don't understand how far means "up there" ( beyond zalem, far beyond ! ) and what it cost her to know who she really is.
"I'm Doctor Dyson"
"He made the vacuum" I see what you did there Roxy.
Love u guys. Both of u got great chemistry. But I love everyone on the channel.
❤ love this
This movie was so good when it came out. Does such a fantastic job of adapting the manga. It was a genuine pleasure to see this in theater in 3D it's so beautiful.
Alita and Gamora from _Guardians_ should fight! ✊💢 What do you think??
Alita: Battle Angel 2 is in the works, as confirmed by producer James Cameron in July 2023. The sequel was originally planned to debut in 2023, but as of July 2024, no release date has been announced.
Lol. When I see Jackie Earle Haley, the last thing I think of is the Nightmare reboot 😆
I'm sure others point it out, but this is based on an Anime OVA (1993) which is based on a Manga (1990-2006) Cameron put aside the Alita sequel to do the Avatar series
The comment I was looking for!!! I read all of the series in the late 90's. I remember waiting for a new volume every two months, all of that or the author to change the end and redo the entire series. It's a great story!!
@@ParisianEbonyI'm gonna be honest. Even if it's rushed I prefer the original ending. The rewritten story is just toooo long and I'm not a fan of Motorball...
That’s right. One of my first Anime VHS 📼 back in the day that I watched with my cousins.
Cameron sucks for doing that
There actually is a sequel in active development, so we will likely get to see more of these characters and this world. Whenever it gets made is anyone's guess, though.
Glad you guys are finally getting along 😂
I'm in my late 40's and this is one of my favourite movies ever. Okay there is a long list of great older movies that are on my top list, but of recent, this has to be my favourite. I think I've seen this movie in the short few years since its release as many times as I've seen other greats like 'The Neverending Story', 'E.T.', 'Goonies', 'Thrashin'', 'Back to the Future', etc. There are some movies that just never get old no matter how many times you've seen it and this is definitely one of the top.
I was so happy with this adaptation i went out and bought the manga right away and it matched up nicely. It did well at the Box Office too so I’m hoping Disney will make another one. Love you guys!
And if Disney do it, let hope they don't put Disney usual flares to it.
It actually didn’t do well at box office that’s the thing na it barely recovered the total cost (budget and marketing) abd it was reported it may even was a loss not a big one though but still a LOSS
The bounty hunter Zappan was the villain Ajax aka Francis in Deadpool. He was also Dario Noharris in a season of Game of Thrones, before the role was recast the following season.
Jackie Earl Haley -- Rorshach from Watchmen
Frikkin' love this movie! I was worried about the low promotion so I went to see this movie four times in the theatre to try and boost the numbers.
Still waiting for the sequel! Cameron, Rodriguez, Salazar are all ready to go!!
So many great scenes taken from the OVA, one of my favs. I bought the BluRay as soon as it was available.
Still need to read the manga, honestly. Actually I'm adding them to my read list…
Great reaction, you two! Loved the speculation, and it shows how well this was written that all of your questions get answered throughout the film.
There's only ever gonna be one Blade......😂
I imagine Alita's blade clashes with Gamora's blade! 😃😁✊💢
What do you think?
I love how Andrew gets to full tears for every movie that is even slightly emotional.
God this movie was incredible I remember seeing it because I had nothing better to do on my day off so I went and saw this and loved it
I've been a fan of alita battle angel manga ( gunnm) since 1998, I even become a professional illustrator because of that manga. the joy I had when I watch this on the big screen is so overwhelming. and the manga is still not yet finished until this day. the third ark called "the mars chronicle" is still on going. great manga guys. and I wish they would make a sequel to this movie.
Nice to see your an Alita fan. So am I! 😃 I think she's an AWESOME and OUTSTANDING fighter! 👏👊💢
She and Gamora (or Nebula too) from _Guardians_ should fight for in a one-on-one combat battle!
What do you think??
@@RedPandaGirl002 thanks,, I think she will be on par with nebula and gamore in fighting capabilities, but if you read the manga's latest chapter, let's just say, spoiler alert, alita has a very strong and enhanced new body, like very enhanced scifi new elements nano tech stuff. so..but gamora and nebula both raised in battle,, still hard to decide who will win..
16:47 That is Derek Mears. He plays Jason in the 2009 Friday the 13th.
This absolutely one of my favorite movies! I have been hoping they’d make the sequel to it and Rodriguez is still the director.
The name you guys were digging for is Ed Skrein, who was Francis in Deadpool and Dick West in Midway.
Im happy that they stuck with the anime look for her vs trying to redesign the look.
This doesn’t look or feel like a Robert Rodrigues movie at all. Watching this on the big screen was awesome, it’s such a bad-ass movie, I love it. It needs a sequel big time.
This movie is so f****** badass it is so underrated... Definitely a movie that turned on many people that didn't think they would be turned on 😅
Instead of eating the orange Alita should have asked Doc for a "glass of delicious milk".
DUDE NO WAY I WAS WATCHING THE VOD OF UR BDAY STREAM AND LITERALLY THOUGHT TO MYSELF AN ALITA REACTION WOULD BE SO COOL!!!!!!
The scene where she throws the chain into the grinder is similar to Friday The 13th 2009 that Roxy just watched.
🕯️JAMES EARL JONES 🕯️ JUST PASSED WAY TODAY... AND WITH ROXY MAKING THAT QUOTE "REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE!!" ALMOST BROUGHT A TEAR 😢
No Kevin had no plans yet for blade as of 2019 until Ali walked in for a meeting saying 1 word. Blade
This movie was great for me watching as a kid. Loved this movie!
Yk, with Alita being a great and awesome fighter, I'm wondering 🤔... what if she was in a one-on-one combat battle duel for either:
Alita vs. Gamora
or
Alita vs. Nebula
Who would win?
Alita Battle Angel/ GUNNM was the first set of Manga books I've ever collected, the movie did such a great job adapting a lot of scenes from it and the two anime OVAs, really hoping to see a sequel someday
Alita and Gamora from _Guardians_ should fight. What do you think?
I’m still hoping for a sequel. This was such a great movie
Foxy Roxy and the flash back at it! Love this movie, I hope they get a second one
Hunter warrior sounds like Ajax from deadpool
I just wanted to mention something that you guys were asking about. When Alita offered Hugo her heart to help pay his way up to Zalem, she meant she'd get a "standard" heart probably from Ido and sell her advanced heart. I mean, she didn't say this, but it must be what she meant. She needs a cyborg heart, but she figures she may not need the advanced heart. But then, she may not have been considering that the URM body probably needs the advanced heart to function properly. If she had gotten Ido's help to switch hearts, I'm sure he would have told her this or he'd be afraid to try it with the URM technology he doesn't know well enough.
Casper Van Dien is the cyborg that killed Ido’s daughter.
I always found her knee jerk response to the giant robot was the throw hands. Really says everything about who she is as a person.
59:49. You shouldn’t underestimate Nova.
“Is this like a sky-fi show? I love sky-fi” 😂 or whatever Halsey said in sing
James Cameron should do a sequel to this film because Alita Battle Angel is more fun than Avatar.
