Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

I keep hearing Alita: Battle Angel is good but haven't seen it yet. Maybe I ought to and it'll give me the push to pick the manga back up where I left off. Alita Last Order was still coming out at the time, and it's one of the coolest follow ups to an original series ever.

I know James Cameron was really passionate about doing a Battle Angel movie for a long time, so there was a real desire there to make a good adaptation. I think originally Cameron wanted to do a movie from the cyborg racing arc, which I think would've been a cooler movie even if a general audience would have no context from the manga to fill in the setting & characters.

The movie smushes the Hunter Killer and Motorball arcs together.

that poo poo was so bizarre because I'm pretty sure it's not like she has bigger eyes than anyone in the original manga. Like what was the intention there?

TBF there's really no way Ed was going to be adapted to live-action and have it not be painful.

Now you might look at that and think that maybe this whole live-action idea is ill-conceived and shouldn't be done in the first place. However,

Hard to tell just how much the good reviews are being astroturfed, or if it's just that a great mass of people are conditioned to be pure consumers. The amount of reviews saying the acting is good is especially funny.

It's only got a 46 on Metacritic so if they're astroturfing someone deserves a refund.

Actions good and it looks good but the storyline is a mess. Shout out to Cristoph Waltz for doing his best.
