1. No one in the states was introduced properly to the Alita Origin story and was unfamiliar to this character unless they knew of her Manga/OVA stuff.
2. Disney has gathered up strength since 2010 to become a powerhouse Titan in the world of movies( outside of just cartoons). Last Year, they didn't miss a beat gathering billions at the box office off 2 movies alone. This year they want to do it again with the AV:Endgame and Captain Marvel. What was suppose to be a distraction for DC's (Aquaman) film was the Titan Director James Cameron/Robert Rodriguez "Alita:Battle Angel" Film which was slated around the same time. Marvel was expected both to cancel each other out at the box office until Alita date was change to Feb 2019. Disney decided again to use it's influence since it's film "Captain Marvel" is released 3 weeks later to have the critics bash, tarnish and burn this film. Knowing Cameron's control of the box office in films such as Titanic and Avatar, they were concerned it would keep CM from being #1 on it's release. They were also concerned that ABA wasn't a agenda driven film about "Women's empowerment" and wanted to crush "Rich White Guys". The same critics who praised Star Wars Last Jedi and the fans were pissed.
Watch how the critics will praise Captain Marvel and claim it to be as good as the average film Wonder Woman.
