Let's think about the series of events here.

Someone proposed this idea. They had multiple people they pitched this idea to, for sure. Then those people had to get funding for the movie from a big company. Then they had to get someone to do the work. Then someone had to do the work, look at it and QC it. Then they had to show it to the people who thought up the idea. Then they got approval to keep going and do the rest of the movie. Then they had to do screenings of this.

Why, at no point in that process, did someone not say, "Whoa, what the hell is this? This is freaky, why are you doing this? Stop it. Cut it right the hell out."?

It's just baffling.

It's like Cameron and marketing/the studio were arguing over how white she should look, so they compromised.

If they purposefully made it so her face sends the audience into the uncanny valley I can kinda get that. I'm more mad about the pg13 rating than anything.

james cameron has been talking about wanting to make a battle angel alita film for like twenty years so I'm surprised it's actually happening instead of being "a thing he wants to do" forever

The eyes are a bit much I think. They probably could have just used CGI to touch up her face and make her look more unreal and that would have worked, but by giving her anime eyes it goes a little to far into creepy to me.

Yeah but directing it is Robert Rodriguez who hasn't made a good film in nearly a decade.

This film is actually a sequel to the Tim Burton movie Big Eyes.

i think the point is to make alita look weirdly out-of-place, but iirc in the manga basically everyone looked like a goddamn weirdo

i don't really expect the movie to do anything interesting with the material, it'll probably just follow the broad strokes of a few of the arcs mashed together and probably change the ending of one of them to be less depressing

Maybe Martian combat cyborgs have big eyes to go along with all the genetic manipulation those drat Martians do.

Don't the sands of Mars already run red?

I guess they'd be even more red with the blood, though... I see your point. Never mind, carry on.
