GAAAAHHHH!!! Shut it off! Shut if off!!!

It amuses me to no end that everyone hates The Phantom Menace, and yet it’s practically become the industry template for launching ambitious franchises-to-be. Sure, our movie is kinda lame. But hey, it’s setting up a whole cinematic universe! There’s so much cool stuff to come, you guys! We promise the villain won’t…

she actively said she doesn’t like the makeup so that’s why she’s “human” in this movie most of the time...which is absurd because in first class she’s preaching about how she’s not ashamed of being “mystique”...now she wants to look like a person. These movies are shit. I’m sorry.

It was really Wally West trying to get Batman to remind Superman everything doesn’t have to be all grimdark just because Dr. Manhattan farked up when he created the Snyderverse.

Yeah, Lawrence looks super bored in the trailers.

I'm in it solely for Olivia Munn in costume. And to see how bored Jennifer Lawrence looks.

It’s not like the Flash emblem is one of the five most recognisable in comics or anything. SNYDER KNOWS BETTER.

Everyone sucks at writing Native American characters. They are either a total stereotype, or a total stereotype.

And he got better development as well as better defined skills.

No. If you read the story, the guy was a stereotype with no potential for development. And there also was Storm, who was the most well received of the new X-Men at the time. Hardly a stereotype there.

True. I should be clearer. By bland, or weak, or unrealistic, I do mean within the context of making a strong story, not in the context of the narrative style.

What if they’re not writing a realist narrative? Realism is a creative choice, not a universal requirement, and must be justified, like any other choice. Nobody should feel bad for writing what best serves the story, whether that is realism, expressionism, surrealism, etc. If you’re crafting a surrealist work, your…

That is an amazing run. It’s true Cameron has never been as good as he was then but to me it’s still no contest. RR is entertaining and self-aware in certain ways but let’s be honest here - he’s not a great director.

Alita could only work using CG. No one could afford the practical effects in a billion years.

As I commented on a different post, at this point in time both Cameron & Rodriguez have serious issues as filmmaker. But they each have different problems, so assuming that Cameron is going to be an active producer and not just an executive producer, their strengths could complement each other’s weaknesses. They could…

I really like Rodriguez, but Alita ain’t for him. Get the writing and script set in stone by somebody and get the Wachowskis to direct, don’t let them deviate and go on their tangents, which is their downfall really. Their films are gorgeous eye candy, but they always over cook their films. So with a bit overseeing...…

I’m not much into manga like I used to be, but RR being attached to this project is worrying, to say the least.

I know nothing of this so can someone tell me if that image is representative of the character or concept? If so I’ll maintain my ignorance. I don’t need any more half-naked female heroes. Especially when they look like children.

Haven’t you heard? Trejo is a lock for playing Alita, according to some of my very excellent and not at all made up sources.

Well, I look forward to seeing Danny Trejo, Antonio, and Jessica Alba all on screen together again.
