    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”.

      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.

      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.
