Happy to hear! I loved Alita. Has always been one of my favorite Mangas, liked the Anime adaptions and just thought they did a really good job translating it to the cinema. Best live action Anime in my opinion!
I’m just disappointed in how they turned desty nova from one of my favourite villains, the genius who’s entire motivation is setting up the stage in a weird way and laugh as it unravels even if he gets hurt in the process, into a generic mind controlling final boss type.
With most manga adaptations I find that they water out what makes the characters interesting. Sure a battle manga needs good battle choreography but the reason I’m reading it is because of the characters.
I have to admit that it’s been quite a while since I read the manga last. That probably saved me from too close comparisons and I could enjoy the movie more on its own terms.
