Alita is the true female struggler in fiction. The story is thoughtful and filled with amazing worldbuilding and Alita has to be one of the most complex and well writen female characters in all of manga. Her journey is something that ANY berserk fan would enjoy, she's a true struggler in a world where every situation is more complicated each time. Like, really. It's an understatement for me to say this but, the author of this story is certainly one of the most brilliant people out there and he is a true psychopath for the kind of stories he is able to make out of his f*cked up brain.
Its definitely has the same genre as berserk cuz both stories is about the main characters finding the way of life throught out the whole story but ngl berserk is on a whole other level. But alita is like one of the best female fighter EVER in manga, even in friction i dare say... Better than captain marvel😂
And the funniest thing for me is that the movie is too faithful to the manga, she carries the manga too and the romance with the guy there is also very water with sugar.
@@giulyanoviniciussanssilva2947 Faithful? You mean the Yugo part? That was the only near faithful thing in the movie. For the rest they mixed and screwed up every plot line of the manga. Also they gave Alita the cheesiest lines ever written.
This manga is still ongoing more than 30 years latter please keep reading it. Last Order and Mars Chronicles are not spin-offs, they are direct sequels and completely necessary to understand the work, its characters and its messages.
@@lucienhaulotte4049 Those aren't spin-offs either. The manga characters evolve and continue their plots there, if you don't read it you won't understand why certain characters have changed their personality and location when they return in Last order.
@@miluxian90 bro ashman is a spin off and other stories you dont need them to understand the story i mean yeah cool some backstory cool but like i could go past it and it change nothing, expect Barjack rapsody
@@lucienhaulotte4049 Ashman yes, but the rest in my opinion are very necessary, Ido's story for example, made me understand the character much better and his overprotective actions with Gally, as a fan not reading them would be a crime.
@@miluxian90 bro i didnt need to know gally shot a deckman of fight a man using marble, i mean theyre still cool but not necessary, christmas carol and barjack rapshody are still nice for added background but not essential
Hey Ryan I think reviewing some of the more adult studio ghibli movies (or the mangas their based off) would be right up your ally. Ones like grave of the fireflies, nausicaa, mononoke, and wind rises. Muria even mentioned drawing inspiration from Nausicaa in his interview
Eyyy my girl Gally is getting some well deserved attention but I'll be honest my favorite character is Nova, he started as a character who raises some interesting questions and ends up being a fun flan addict. Jashugan is really up there tho, I'm honestly glad he wasn't in the live action because it's just too deep a story. Unfortunately the 3rd part of the manga is kinda slow, since 2023 began all we got from the author was a drawing of his beloved pet pugs and I it's not like I hate them or him but he's not getting any younger, I hope we get more background info like we did until now. BTW Ryan when are you reading Dorohedoro?
If you like Battle Angel Alita you should probably check out Armitage the third! It's a great little OVA that actually had a production done in California! It was even adapted into a movie and receive a sequel! Another Recommendation is Drakuun Rise of the Dragon Princess, Shadow Lady and Caravan Kid!
I need to reread this gem, it was probably the one story that REALLY got me into reading manga. I remember not even knowing to read right to left for a bunch of chapters lol. BTW I've heard that the movie is finally getting a SEQUEL and I am so hype my dudes
Oh Shoot, the bastard did it...he read GUNNM👏🏾 I haven't watched the video yet and I'm already walking around like a madman 😅 For everyone that read it: What's your favorite Alita scene and/or why you like her? Mine was when she accepted Koyomi's decision because not doing so would betray her early self and make her a hypocrite Edit: She's still my 2nd favorite female anime character #1 Is Balsa Yonsa...no woman in fiction surpassed her for me
@@lucienhaulotte4049 and if I understand it correctly, she's the first live birth of a human, as the rest of all of humanity (not sure if it's just on mars or the entire solar system) is sterile, with all of humanity, having to be genetically/artificially created clones, very similar with the kryptonians in the man of steel superman movie
My favorite Alita moment is her performance of Big Generator by Yes. After seeing everything she goes through (both before and after that moment) I'm just happy that there is such a fun, feel-good scene like that in the manga. Best girl Alita deserves it!
Alita has been my favorite manga since I was 13 (I’m 32 now) she’s a character that I love and wished she was more popular and was seen up there with the likes of kenshin and evangelion but I’m happy she’s gotten a movie and is getting more. They were just confirmed.
Yukito Kishiro is a genius for creating this manga. At such a young age to know not only how to draw so awesomely but also to understand so much emotionally and philosophically about the world is very unusual to the point of being a freak of nature. I admire his work especially for the character of Alita and how the universe she exists in showcases her masculine Martian side. This goes against everything women have been taught in society for millennia, that in order to have value as feminine beings they must be nice, quiet and compliant. You can tell Kishiro has a deep respect and admiration for strong women. This is a lesson our daughters need to learn today - that being forceful, intense, angry and even violent does not diminish their femininity and attractiveness in any way but rather enhances it. Kishiro is ahead of his time in creating this manga.
she's 300 years old (actually 600 years in age, but the last/second 300 years of her life, she was buried in the scrap heap, so really she's only been experiencing her first 300 years of life where she was born, on mars)... she's old enough to be your great great great gandma.. there's no "coming of age" with her... it's just her character/personality (nor is it from her amnesia), she just always has that wonder and hope in humanity, and she's completely new to the earth, literally being a martian alien, as there's no orange trees (oranges) and cacao/cacoa trees (chocolate) on mars, as well as martian society being very different from earth'ian society, and during "The Fall", she didn't exactly have time to "sight-see" on earth, lol...
@@redmoonbloodmoon3161 Cringe, I think I lost few braincells reading that. Please look up the meaning of the phrase "coming of age" on your own would you? I can't be arsed to write an essey here today.
I haven't read the manga yet, but I've watched the OVA and absolutely loved it. I'm going to try and get the Kodansha hardcover box set to finally start reading the manga.
Glad to hear that you like one of my favorite mangas of all time. Hope you read the last order one day and every cyberpunk and martial arts fans should read battle angel.
Now I wanna go read the manga and then watch the rest of your video (I only watched up to the point you were talking about it being a sports manga cause that's past the point the OVA ends). As a kid the OVA was one of my favorites, I remember renting it at blockbuster a few times when blockbuster was still a thing. Ah, fond memories.
Alita battle angel is my favourite hard science fiction manga ever. The second series is my favourite in the trilogy. Also the ending of the first manga isn't canon when the mangaka was make the first manga he got ill and ended it early incase he died before he could finish the story.
Zalem is the correct name. Tiphares is one of the many name changes the English translation made in the 90s. Just like how Alita's name is Gally in the original. Many other languages stuck with the original names. Modern English editions revereted most of the name changes, but not the Gally/Alita change
Ok, since you asked, love the original run of the story. The follow up, Last Order, is interesting but didn’t enjoy as much as the original. Now we are on Mars Chronicles and I love this as much as the original. My only grip is we only get a new book maybe once a yr…or longer.
Hmm not sure if you know (didn't notice you mentioning it), but somewhere around chapter 51, after a major event where you'll find 2 black pages, it stops being canon and you have to read The Last Order to continue the story. The author rushed the ending because he was afraid he couldn't finish the manga due to health issues I think, but after 5 years he came back and retconned the ending.
idk why but this explanation gave me flash backs of "Dimension W".. the anime, idk if it has a manga but its not alot like this but for some reason reminded me of it. only 12 episodes I think any1 else watch "DW"?
Alita's world building is absolutely incredible. Absurdly bleak and edgy but also totally awesome and i want to have an Imaginos body too! There is also Last order. And it's an over the top TOOOUUURRRRNAMENT arc that also delves into the politics and history of the setting. And that is followed by Mars chronicle which continues that same high end world building but some of the main characters are kinda nasty people and it's a bit of a bummer. But i still keep following it anyway. Also: Desty Nova is my favorite villain ever and i'm torn between hating him and wanting to be him. A total riot every time he shows up!
That manga has also the most traduction difference like her name or location , like the french translation shes named gally and the ouroboros segment shes alita and english its otherwise or theyre called hunter warrior
See the movie was never shocking to Alita fans. The reason there was never another anime is because James Cameron owns all the film rights. He was taking about making Alita while he was filming Avatar.
The correct name for the floating city is definitely Zalem. If you read the sequel, Last Order, you discover that Zalem is connected by an orbital elevator to another city in outer space, named Jeru. Jeru-Zalem.
Question : does the English edition still use the renamed characters and locations or is reverted back to the original names (Gally in Japan, Alita in English, etc)
Not even through the video: You can blame Disney that we don’t get the sequel. But that’s why they forced motorball into the first movie. They wanted motorball in it no matter what. And just a reminder that the James Cameron avatar movies was made as a test FOR the alita movies. James Cameron was such a fan he wrote fanfiction and sent it to the author, which got him the rights to filming. Also his ff was what facilitated the 2nd comic series/ arc. The movie was a labor of love made by fans for fans and in case they couldn’t get a second movie they did as much as they could. (Disney’s fault)
Remember there's 2 sequels. Alita is either my favorite female character or second favorite, for all the reasons you've mentioned. If there's anything i don't like about her, it's that she changes too much from arc to arc. Many times she feels like a completely different character, especially in the sequels. Though this is kind of a cretique of the series in general. Some arcs are all over the place, can be bloated at times. Second favorite character in this series is definitely Nova! The Rick Sanchez of manga. He's also has some similarity with Hisoka from HxH, in that he just does whatever he feels like at the time. The manga has top tier artwork as well! Overall i'd give the series a 8/10.
if able at some point, and if don't already know of it... highly recommend Blood+ ("the saya saga"), as I think you might like it.. it's really quite deep, lots to analyze and etc... and very epic, along with two great bad'ss and waifu mcs ("protagonist" and "antagonist")... (Claymore and Blood+ are the two anime that I know really well, unlike all other anime/manga, not being a super fan, like that with Claymore and Blood+, I'm no naruto expert or bleach expert or one piece expert, I can't talk about all of the characters, abilities, nations/factions, lore, and etc stuff, like I can with Claymore and Blood+, though my Blood+ is rusty as it sadly doesn't exist with newer generations, there's no watching or talk or even knowledge of it, despite that it like so many classics it was so popular, but is now completely lost and forgotten and unknown)
I highly recommend you read Tenpuu for me is top 3 female protagonists in manga. It's from the same artist who is making the sequel to Parasyte, (Parasyte Reversi).
Just make sure when you read this to find the original translation. The updated translation more recently by vis isn’t as good as the original in conveying what the characters say
Ryan said the manga wasn't that Gory. Nah, Last Order is WAY GORY! There's a point in Last Order were she's massacerring soldiers, that if Guts saw he would've froze up and shouted "Damn girl! CHILL!!" I don't know if I'd call that better though. Spoiler: There's a part were Alita becomes an kinda cat-girl bot and winds up getting her memory re-set. With that in place I'll still say Nausica is the better female protagonist even though I still really like Alita. Did Ryan see the new Miura interview? He referenced Nausica in the video so that more or less confirms it's influence over the creating/writing of Berserk!
they're equal, but different/unique in their own way, both with the characters and the manga/anime/stories, the two most legendary sci-fi stories and characters of all time
True! The prequel has some really interesting bits and I kind of enjoyed the tournament arc the living mechas were really awesome. I don't believe we'll get to see all the author has planned but I'll enjoyed it while it lasts
Just saying, if you decide to read the sequel to the original Alita series which is called "Last Order", you should know that the last volume of the original series is not canon to the sequel.
Why Alita is universally loved world-wide, across all cultures and countries: (Alita has taken the entire world by storm, and fkn hollywood and its sheep/cow/lemmings, is still fkn clueless, running around clucking like a chicken that's not aware that its head has been cut off, lol) Understanding the intentional sappiness/cheeziness of the "romance" and its tragic failure: "Hugo's (Humanity's) Fall" Alita is 300 years old... she's been through a lot of $hit, and yet she's the most human person of all, 100% devoted to doing the right thing, to being a good person, Alita never cowers before evil, "I do not stand by in the presence of evil", she truly is "the most human person I've ever known" (as Hugo said so rightly), total sacrifice to others, "willing to give her heart, her life, and her own interests/dreams/desires for someone else". Alita knows full well how sappy and cheezy the romance was with Hugo, but she didn't care, as she wanted/needed that hopeful moment of escape, from the $hit of the world and of her life. Alita intentionally believed in Hugo, hoping he was that sappy/cheezy "perfect guy", just wanting a brief moment to smile, to forget all the $hit of her world and of her long existence, but then Hugo had to ruin it, as he wasn't that sappy cheezy "perfect guy"... Alita's one moment of escapism, her brief chance to smile and forget the world and reality, was crushed by the reality of the world and of people. No one is more human than herself, she's way more human than all other humans, and so she is constantly disappointed by the rest of humanity, and constantly having to stand up to its evil, as she's the one good person in the entire world. Alita truly is an angel, fallen down from the heavens upon this undeserving world and its undeserving humanity. Alita inspires and causes change in everyone she encounters, she's a force of nature, a born leader, a true hero. Alita draws out the humanity in everyone through her sheer force of will and action, Alita always does what is right, she never compromises with wrongness and evil. Alita never stands by in the presence of evil, because everyone else does do so, and so must Alita rectify our own weakness with her own sacrifice for us, total selfless commitment to all others, our champion of justice, our fallen angel, our battle angel, fighting for all of us, despite how underserving we are of it and of her. Alita is the physical embodiment of humanity, Alita is the “heart and soul of humanity” (using a quote about Heero Yuy from Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, Alita and Heero Yuy are practically siblings, lol) (Alita even changes and unifies us, the people of the real world, watching Alita as viewers, Alita is the "speaker" for all of humanity, everyone understands Alita and her lessons of being truly human and empathetic, of being self-less and caring more about others than ourselves, sacrificing yourself for others, instead of sacrificing others for yourself) There's a big difference between a 'superhero' and a HERO, and that is Alita, she's a HERO, not an empty superhero ---- After seeing Alita, I found myself... wishing I could swap/replace/switch a lot of people I know with Alita Alita is the perfect person/human, the perfect woman, the perfect wife, but none of us are good enough for her. Alita is just too good and pure for us Having Alita as a wife, and she doing her own fighting for herself and/or fighting for me, reminded me of this scene from Cinderella Man: th-cam.com/video/iAc7d5LWB_o/w-d-xo.html "Ya, ain't she something!"
Alita got shafted by..ms marvel....that trash fire of a movie kicked alita out of the 3d theater...had to watch it on normal theater cuz only ms marvel was showing in 3d. I've been boycotting disney since.
How about finding out her real name if you're going to say she is your favorite protagonist. It is the GUNNM series. There is no character named Alita in it. Please stop saying it.
Alita is the true female struggler in fiction. The story is thoughtful and filled with amazing worldbuilding and Alita has to be one of the most complex and well writen female characters in all of manga. Her journey is something that ANY berserk fan would enjoy, she's a true struggler in a world where every situation is more complicated each time.
Like, really. It's an understatement for me to say this but, the author of this story is certainly one of the most brilliant people out there and he is a true psychopath for the kind of stories he is able to make out of his f*cked up brain.
Its definitely has the same genre as berserk cuz both stories is about the main characters finding the way of life throught out the whole story but ngl berserk is on a whole other level.
But alita is like one of the best female fighter EVER in manga, even in friction i dare say...
Better than captain marvel😂
The guy she likes even looks like Guts.
Alita in the movie is also such a sweetheart, she alone carries the movie so hard
I remember thinking the romance in the movie felt extremely forced…otherwise good time though.
And the funniest thing for me is that the movie is too faithful to the manga, she carries the manga too and the romance with the guy there is also very water with sugar.
@@giulyanoviniciussanssilva2947 Faithful? You mean the Yugo part? That was the only near faithful thing in the movie. For the rest they mixed and screwed up every plot line of the manga. Also they gave Alita the cheesiest lines ever written.
The romance with figure 4 is much better more mature with comedic moments late response I know
Such a sweetheart
Alita movie sequel was literally announced recently
Also read the sequel to this because the space marital arts is fun

One of the most well written Manga, I’ve ever in my life, and no one ever talks about it battle Angel Alita
Alita easily my favorite female character in manga
Hey Ryan I think reviewing some of the more adult studio ghibli movies (or the mangas their based off) would be right up your ally. Ones like grave of the fireflies, nausicaa, mononoke, and wind rises. Muria even mentioned drawing inspiration from Nausicaa in his interview
Ahhh, my old school fave! I have always loved Alita!
NO WORDS CAN DESCRIBE WHY I LOVE BATTLE ANGEL ALITA. I’m glad I found this video 😂
Eyyy my girl Gally is getting some well deserved attention but I'll be honest my favorite character is Nova, he started as a character who raises some interesting questions and ends up being a fun flan addict.
Jashugan is really up there tho, I'm honestly glad he wasn't in the live action because it's just too deep a story.
Unfortunately the 3rd part of the manga is kinda slow, since 2023 began all we got from the author was a drawing of his beloved pet pugs and I it's not like I hate them or him but he's not getting any younger, I hope we get more background info like we did until now.

And she has a mean streak too. Don't get on her bad side!
@@tenaciousrodent6251 damn right!
Alita is a huge inspiration on the lead female in the manga I’m working on. Glad to hear you enjoyed the story!
The live action movie is very good and underrated.
Got the first two deluxe volumes last Christmas and really enjoyed them both, I want to read the rest sometime 🙂
Oh Shoot, the bastard did it...he read GUNNM👏🏾
I haven't watched the video yet and I'm already walking around like a madman 😅
For everyone that read it:
What's your favorite Alita scene and/or why you like her?
Mine was when she accepted Koyomi's decision because not doing so would betray her early self and make her a hypocrite
Edit:
She's still my 2nd favorite female anime character
#1 Is Balsa Yonsa...no woman in fiction surpassed her for me

So what will the third one be? Angel's Return?
Yes welcome to the fandom! It’s been a fav of mine for 20+ years. I hope you enjoy mars chronicles when you get to that 3rd book series!
I actually bought the box set and went into it blindly and fell in love with Alita. In my top 15 series of all time

Thanks for reminding me of this series Ryan, it's been one of my long time favorites, rare example of "coming of age" story done right.

I haven't read the manga yet, but I've watched the OVA and absolutely loved it. I'm going to try and get the Kodansha hardcover box set to finally start reading the manga.
Glad to hear that you like one of my favorite mangas of all time. Hope you read the last order one day and every cyberpunk and martial arts fans should read battle angel.
Would it be fair to say, that Alita is to her title Manga. . . what Guts is to Berserk?
You should read Last Order. It's the best part of Alita. It's honestly a 10/10
I absolutely love the original series and I am reading last order and am enjoying it too!
Finally I've been waiting for someone to get into this! You are in for a ride
there gonna make a sequel its just taking forever - they did confirmed it , they want to do it as soon as they can

Time to read Last Order. It’s one of the best tournament arc out there
You should totally check out Last Order it takes place 3 chapters before the end of the manga and it's the definitive continuation of the first manga
See the movie was never shocking to Alita fans. The reason there was never another anime is because James Cameron owns all the film rights. He was taking about making Alita while he was filming Avatar.
I’m pretty sure Alita 2 was recently green lit due to James Cameron and the success of Avatar 2.
In a future where roller blading was the hot sport to be a part of 🛼
The correct name for the floating city is definitely Zalem.
If you read the sequel, Last Order, you discover that Zalem is connected by an orbital elevator to another city in outer space, named Jeru.
Jeru-Zalem.
Alita is awesome from beginning to end including the sequel manga series.
Question : does the English edition still use the renamed characters and locations or is reverted back to the original names (Gally in Japan, Alita in English, etc)
never watched it, but Ryan likes it. so i like and try to watch it in due time. keep going goat
Read the manga. It's the best version of the story

The movie was a labor of love made by fans for fans and in case they couldn’t get a second movie they did as much as they could. (Disney’s fault)
Remember there's 2 sequels. Alita is either my favorite female character or second favorite, for all the reasons you've mentioned. If there's anything i don't like about her, it's that she changes too much from arc to arc. Many times she feels like a completely different character, especially in the sequels. Though this is kind of a cretique of the series in general. Some arcs are all over the place, can be bloated at times. Second favorite character in this series is definitely Nova! The Rick Sanchez of manga. He's also has some similarity with Hisoka from HxH, in that he just does whatever he feels like at the time. The manga has top tier artwork as well! Overall i'd give the series a 8/10.
if able at some point, and if don't already know of it...
highly recommend Blood+ ("the saya saga"), as I think you might like it.. it's really quite deep, lots to analyze and etc... and very epic, along with two great bad'ss and waifu mcs ("protagonist" and "antagonist")...
(Claymore and Blood+ are the two anime that I know really well, unlike all other anime/manga, not being a super fan, like that with Claymore and Blood+, I'm no naruto expert or bleach expert or one piece expert, I can't talk about all of the characters, abilities, nations/factions, lore, and etc stuff, like I can with Claymore and Blood+, though my Blood+ is rusty as it sadly doesn't exist with newer generations, there's no watching or talk or even knowledge of it, despite that it like so many classics it was so popular, but is now completely lost and forgotten and unknown)
read the sequel Battle Angel Alita Last Order, and my favorite, master 6!
Alita 2 got green lit
I even have my manga collection at my house
mANY PEOPLE THINK THAT gunm LAST ORDER IS A SEQUEL, BUT IS IN REALITY WHAT HAPPENS IN THE TIME JUMP OF THE LAST CHAPTER
MAKE SURE TO READ THE SEQUEL MANGA. THAT'S PEAK ALITA CONTENT.
gunnm is such a great manga
I highly recommend you read Tenpuu for me is top 3 female protagonists in manga. It's from the same artist who is making the sequel to Parasyte, (Parasyte Reversi).
Just make sure when you read this to find the original translation. The updated translation more recently by vis isn’t as good as the original in conveying what the characters say
New Waifu😭 Alita always been top 10 she truly is a Battle Angel🔥🔥
Ryan said the manga wasn't that Gory. Nah, Last Order is WAY GORY! There's a point in Last Order were she's massacerring soldiers, that if Guts saw he would've
froze up and shouted "Damn girl! CHILL!!" I don't know if I'd call that better though. Spoiler: There's a part were Alita becomes an kinda cat-girl bot and winds up
getting her memory re-set. With that in place I'll still say Nausica is the better female protagonist even though I still really like Alita. Did Ryan see the new Miura
interview? He referenced Nausica in the video so that more or less confirms it's influence over the creating/writing of Berserk!
The manga ends abruptly cause the mangaka fell sick… so that's why the sequel exists, its to complete the story
I really liked the movie
i wonder who his other fav female characters r
But are you picking her or major motoko
they're equal, but different/unique in their own way, both with the characters and the manga/anime/stories, the two most legendary sci-fi stories and characters of all time
The manga has long sequel and also a prequel that is publishing currently. But the problem is the current manga has tonnes of hiatuses.
True! The prequel has some really interesting bits and I kind of enjoyed the tournament arc the living mechas were really awesome.
I don't believe we'll get to see all the author has planned but I'll enjoyed it while it lasts
Pretty soon you'll be practicing panzer kunsr. haha gotta read this one again.
How cool is it that they got a German guy to play Ido, so when he says 'Panzer Kunst' (a German term), you really feel it.
Just saying, if you decide to read the sequel to the original Alita series which is called "Last Order", you should know that the last volume of the original series is not canon to the sequel.
Why Alita is universally loved world-wide, across all cultures and countries:
(Alita has taken the entire world by storm, and fkn hollywood and its sheep/cow/lemmings, is still fkn clueless, running around clucking like a chicken that's not aware that its head has been cut off, lol)
Understanding the intentional sappiness/cheeziness of the "romance" and its tragic failure:
"Hugo's (Humanity's) Fall"
Alita is 300 years old... she's been through a lot of $hit, and yet she's the most human person of all, 100% devoted to doing the right thing, to being a good person, Alita never cowers before evil, "I do not stand by in the presence of evil", she truly is "the most human person I've ever known" (as Hugo said so rightly), total sacrifice to others, "willing to give her heart, her life, and her own interests/dreams/desires for someone else". Alita knows full well how sappy and cheezy the romance was with Hugo, but she didn't care, as she wanted/needed that hopeful moment of escape, from the $hit of the world and of her life. Alita intentionally believed in Hugo, hoping he was that sappy/cheezy "perfect guy", just wanting a brief moment to smile, to forget all the $hit of her world and of her long existence, but then Hugo had to ruin it, as he wasn't that sappy cheezy "perfect guy"... Alita's one moment of escapism, her brief chance to smile and forget the world and reality, was crushed by the reality of the world and of people. No one is more human than herself, she's way more human than all other humans, and so she is constantly disappointed by the rest of humanity, and constantly having to stand up to its evil, as she's the one good person in the entire world. Alita truly is an angel, fallen down from the heavens upon this undeserving world and its undeserving humanity.
Alita inspires and causes change in everyone she encounters, she's a force of nature, a born leader, a true hero. Alita draws out the humanity in everyone through her sheer force of will and action, Alita always does what is right, she never compromises with wrongness and evil. Alita never stands by in the presence of evil, because everyone else does do so, and so must Alita rectify our own weakness with her own sacrifice for us, total selfless commitment to all others, our champion of justice, our fallen angel, our battle angel, fighting for all of us, despite how underserving we are of it and of her.
Alita is the physical embodiment of humanity, Alita is the “heart and soul of humanity” (using a quote about Heero Yuy from Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, Alita and Heero Yuy are practically siblings, lol)
(Alita even changes and unifies us, the people of the real world, watching Alita as viewers, Alita is the "speaker" for all of humanity, everyone understands Alita and her lessons of being truly human and empathetic, of being self-less and caring more about others than ourselves, sacrificing yourself for others, instead of sacrificing others for yourself)
There's a big difference between a 'superhero' and a HERO, and that is Alita, she's a HERO, not an empty superhero
----
After seeing Alita, I found myself...
wishing I could swap/replace/switch a lot of people I know with Alita
Alita is the perfect person/human, the perfect woman, the perfect wife, but none of us are good enough for her. Alita is just too good and pure for us
Having Alita as a wife, and she doing her own fighting for herself and/or fighting for me, reminded me of this scene from Cinderella Man:
th-cam.com/video/iAc7d5LWB_o/w-d-xo.html
"Ya, ain't she something!"
This is inspiring, my friend. ❤🔥
Alita got shafted by..ms marvel....that trash fire of a movie kicked alita out of the 3d theater...had to watch it on normal theater cuz only ms marvel was showing in 3d. I've been boycotting disney since.
Live Action teased Nova and I can't wait to see him on screen
Played by Ed Norton too!
@@RealLifeRyan yep
@@oleksandrbyelyenko435 His kya ha ha laugh in the movie or his presence is gonna be a BLAST!!
Alita if my waifu for more than 10 years. I have been waiting for live action for frikin 5 years. And manga is still in my top
Urgh, you could use her correct name tho, and do the manga for the manga as well.
Smh Ryan
Even because honestly she is the only good character in this work that I don't particularly think is excelent.
Claire >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
It will have sequel movie. The studio is currently in talks.
Hurray. Finally you read Alita
I was sad this never got a sequel
But it will, i think the sequel is being produced right now, u can look it up
Both terms are correct. It is Yeru and Salem, like Jerusalem. But than in some adaptations they change the names to Tephares
Alita live action is do great even my father enjoyed it.
Mindblowing art, mindblowing story, TERRIBLE movie. OVA was decent. Been a reader for 30 years now!
Gally is the best protagonist in manga, male or female.
alita deserve a great anime adaptation , not a fan of the movie
How about finding out her real name if you're going to say she is your favorite protagonist. It is the GUNNM series. There is no character named Alita in it. Please stop saying it.
Calm down Lil bro. It ain't that serious. 🤣
Watch the Anime it is Better than the Live Action Movie.
Should see her in Last Order and then finding out her origin in Mars Chronicle. They are not spin offs, but continuations.
