I don’t quite get it. You wanted a sequel for one movie, therefore you should be fine with “a year of sequels, remakes and regurgitated crap”?
No, but it shouldn’t be surprising that there are a ton of sequels and remakes when even the people who complain about there being too many sequels and remakes are asking for them.
They were just pointing out the irony.
>if you want only one sequel of a specific movie, you’re not allowed to dislike sequels in general
Lemmy moment
There are very few things that are truly black and white in this world, most are shades of grey. If you deal in absolutes, you are lying to yourself, everyone else, or are probably a Sith.
That comment reads to me more like criticism of the original Alita than genuine desire for a sequel. It’s saying “this film was all setup, no payoff”.
It kinda was IMO
Was that movie supposed to ever have a sequel? I have no idea what the point of edward nortan’s ambiguous villain character even was? Was there a sequel planned and then they canned it? Overall the movie jjust made zero sense.
I never saw it myself. I was just interpreting the comment from the OOP.
Yeah they wrote it as a trilogy, with a big ass cliffhanger. They had Edward Norton as the overarching villain, as the other poster mentioned, but didn’t even utilize him. The plot was meant to follow the manga, so people at least had some idea of what was to come.
OP, did you see the movie? It is set up for a big race thing that never happens. It essentially ends on a cliff hanger.
Yeah the whole thing was written to be a trilogy. But James Cameron was too busy with Avatar.
this is the most interested I’ve been in this movie should I watch it

Joke explanation
Alita has big ol’ eyes and it was a meme to use that emoji combo lol.
FWIW, Cameron confirmed Alita 2 & 3 are in the works as of last year.

Considering how much post production these film would need, and suffering absolutely no delays, I expect these films to come out in 2026 & 2028, respectively.
Cowards, should adapt the remaining 6 1/2 volumes, 19 volumes of the sequel and 11 volumes of the prequel.
For real though. Ed Norton teed up a great villain in the first movie. As a general rule, if he’s in the cast, then I’m watching.
I think we need a word for an unnecessary sequel. Like it’s not a remake but they just retcon the ending and are like “oh look actually there’s more!” On a story that was perfectly wrapped up already.
I also work with project managers who also want things one day, then want the opposite thing another day.
Almost as if they’re not going to die on this hill, how dare they ask for something they want
I mean, I’d love an ABA sequel.
Ok
