My Theory of why Alita: Battle Angel didn't do well

Bmnnzzz rnnnnz hhhhhmmm

No star power. Biggest name was Cottonmouth

There were no big names in Avatar...

Name one western, live action/cinematic adaption of Anime/Manga that's not flopped. There isn't big demand for these movies. Purists hate their b*stardization & casuals write them off as low quality/budget comic movies. Edge of Tomorrow is a Light Novel & wasn't marketed as an anime/manga movie adaptation.

Enjoyed it, visuals was 9/10 for me, just absolutely spectacular. problem was the story which was a 6.5/10 for me... movie was dope and there is an OBVIOUS medial bias towards all MCU/Disney regime products, if the mass can't see it then i dont know what to say..

bullshyt that is nitpicked in other films is praised in mcu films..

the black widow film was pushed back and changed writers and all the headlines were positive, james bond changed writers and critics were calling the film doomed.. like the fukk

they said even tho Aquaman made a billi its still trash and a billi means nothing, cm preorder tickets dropped and they said ''captain marvel has nothing to prove at the box office''

like fucccc outta here.. crtics not even slick with the dikk eating anymore, like i'd be happy if they wrote ''sponsored my the disney regime'' at the end of their articles cause this is blatant at this point

bruh Captain marvel is a steaming pile of Dog shyt and they trying to act like its ok for it to be ass.smh

Doesn't matter EOT was a manga book.

**puts on tin foil fitted**

Hollywood hates anime movies on some Pearl Harbor shyt, so they purposely make the live action adaptations whack as fukk.

I liked it and makes me want to look up the source material. Im a comic nerd but its good to have different franchises besides the marvel/disney and DC juggernauts

 

[PoorAndDangerous]

Don't need a theory. It's based on an Anime and Cameron didn't direct. That's why. Flick is dope though, best use of 3D I've seen since Avatar, extremely immersive.

Sadly it's about branding. The lazy masses spends most of their lives online but dont actually research anything.

I agree with your review.

I'm not doing book reports on fukking movie ads. shyt looked lame and the CGI saucer eyes look is terrible in a "live" action movie.

 

[Soundbwoy]

Never saw a trailer until I saw the official thread last week

Niche sci-fi properties in general don't do well. See Blade Runner 2049

It looks cool to me. I haven't seen it but I doubt it's as bad as critics portray it. I been told y'all about these cacs anyway (90% of critics are white men)

 

[ahomeplateslugger]

it's only been 5 days and ppl are quick to call it a flop for some reason. its foreign numbers are good right now and i believe they haven't released in china or japan. this movie will do fine and wouldn't surprise me if it has legs similar to ready player one. just wait until it's pulled from theaters to see the final numbers. and i'm sick of these critics and sheep fans that have think like mentality. so quick to hop on the consensus nuts instead of forming their own opinion.

i said it in the thread that i loved this movie and will most likely see it again. ready player one was one of my favorite movies of 2018 and i've seen it several times already and i can see me doing the same with alita.

 

[OmegaK2099]

Dope movie but i kind of rolled my eyes at the ending i wont spoil it for those that haven't seen it

 

[QuintessentialMan]

Didnt it just come out last week?!?!
What were the numbers?
