Unpopular opinion: I think the only reason the movie was so popular as it was was bc captain marvel came out the same week and this was just so much better. I'm not saying it's bad, not at all, but I feel like if it wasn't for captain marvel people wouldnt be talking about this movie nearly as much (kinda the same reaction that I have with CD projektred tbh)
Also, I'm sorry alita, your eyes freak me out
I haven't seen Captain Marvel but it grossed 1.1 billion, which is just insane and I heard Alita didn't do too well. It also looks like Captain Marvel got much better reviews than Alita. Again, I haven't seen either, but the numbers are saying something
The only good captain marvel reviews I've seen have come from the mainstream pro-feminism journalists tbh. And most of the positive Alita reviews I've seen have come from people on the opposite side of the spectrum. Idk much about either, but Alita looks more interesting to me from a standalone, and I definitely prefer her character design (unless her eyes really are this giant. In that case wth is that about?)
I havent seen atlita personally, but I have seen captain marvel, and while I didnt hate it like everyone else did, I can confirm that it is indeed the worst MCU movie as of right now.
Also from what I've seen in trailer atlitas eyes are always kinda big, but never massive. The only part about them that bugs me is how... CG they are. Like I get shes a robot but it's such a weird design choice to me, and this is from someone who LIKES the CG in jurassic world
I looked on the major aggregates and Captain Marvel has higher critical reviews, and appears to have been review bombed for feminism in the user sections rendering them useless. Again, haven't seen either, but CM got better reviews and grossed three times as much
@creativedragonbaby you're right, it's an outsider's view. Again, I'm not gonna pretend the movie was bad (and it's true, it's probably a hell of a lot better than captain marvel), but that's just kinda how I felt about it.
Also, I guess that sheds some light on the eyes thing huh
@nicengelman I heard a rumour saying that disney actually spent the money on themselves to make it look like it grossed a ton of money, but you can never be too sure. Either way, it still honestly sucked and I kinda wish I saw atlita more
I have a very strong policy when it comes to most things, and this is nothing personal against you, this is what I say about everything. "Just because I don't like it, doesn't make it bad." Now some things are famously bad, but it sounds like you personally have a bone with this movie and you're using your personal view as the broader evaluation of the film, which, at all sights seems to be more positive than yours. I'm not dissing you, I'm just saying, just because you don't like something, doesn't necessarily mean it's bad
Are you referring to atlita or captain marvel? Lol
In all seriousness, in the end I would never force my opinions onto anyone. If people really did enjoy captain marvel then great, more power too them. I'm sorry if I gave that impression
I never saw it. It looks hella strange and definitely falls into the uncanny valley for me. Plus idk what it’s really about? It sounded a lot like Astro boy but with weirder graphics. Also Captain Marvel came out and ya know my gay ass was there for Brie Larson over whatever tragedy happened to Alita’s face.
As far as I know the story is that atlita was a robot made for fighting, but she defected, and now other robots from the same inventor is having them go after her
Also, I'm sorry alita, your eyes freak me out

Spoiler: her eyes are that big because she’s a Martian

Alita is a soldier from mars, hence the eyes
She fell to the ground and is leading a revolution, yada yada
