Not going to start a thread for this, so I will just post it here. ------------------ For more than twenty years, Alita has been my number one favorite female character. She is the one I judge every female action heroine against. Alita is her world’s superman. She is the most awesome, independent, over-powered female character, relative to her world, that I know of, in any medium (manga, comic, movie, or otherwise). It isn’t easy to write an over-powered lead without things getting boring, but Alita manages to stay interesting thanks to a fascinating world (motorball, etc), an incredible villains like Nova (Alita’s “Lex Luthor”), and amazing story telling (later in the manga, Alita has one of the most shocking plot twists I have ever read, “the secret of Tiphares”). I went to See Alita Battle Angel in theaters and loved it. It was the first truly good manga/anime adaptation I have seen. However, it wasn’t until I went home and went on line that I realized there was a problem. You see, the makers and “feminist” backers of Captain Marvel have a grudge against Cameron. If you saw Captain Marvel, this grudge is blatantly inserted into the film (see Captain Marvel takes a shot at James Cameron's sexist, racist True Lies). To get back Cameron, Disney/Marvel used all its muscle to kill Alita and one-up Cameron at the box office with Captain Marvel. Before I continue, to understand how bad this attack was, here are critics reviews from other parts of the world: Germany Alita 7.2 (https://www.moviepilot.de/movies/battle-angel) Captain Marvel 6.9 (https://www.moviepilot.de/movies/captain-marvel) France Alita 3.5 (http://www.allocine.fr/film/fichefilm_gen_cfilm=61280.html Captain Marvel 3.2 (http://www.allocine.fr/film/fichefilm_gen_cfilm=141110.html) China Alita 7.6 (https://movie.douban.com/subject/1652592/ Captain Marvel 7.0 (https://movie.douban.com/subject/26213252/) Rotten Tomatoes Alita 60% (top critic 32%) Captain Marvel 78% That 32% RT top critic rating for Alita is criminal, completely out of line with critics around the world. That 32% is the result of a grudge by so-called feminists against Cameron. Don’t believe me? Here is top reviewer, Katie Walsh, from Chicago Tribune’s 2 star review of Alita, and here is Katie Walsh on twitter saying “We must come together as a nation to stop James Cameron from writing female characters.” The “SJWs” (just learned that term) at Disney/Marvel put their entire weight behind crushing Alita. They attack it months before it came out (‘Alita: Battle Angel’ Isn’t The Feminist Blockbuster You’re Looking For). They relentlessly attacked Alita leading up to its release (Alita panned by critics: What is wrong with Alita: Battle Angel? Why is it SO bad?). They repeated it was flop and bomb at every opportunity ('Alita: Battle Angel' on Track to Become a $200 Million Flop). After its release, Alita RT rating was kept at 59% for the first four weeks. Every time it would go up 60%, within hours, a new review would knock it back down to 59%. Despite all these attacks, Alita still manage to gross over 400 million worldwide, breaking even. However, the “SJW”, fake-feminist attack cost Alita that extra 100-300 million needed for a sequel. The world won’t have the first, action-movie trilogy with a female lead, not because of the “patriarchy”, but because of people claiming to be feminist. Because of their petty grudge with Cameron, these Disney/Marvel FAKE-feminist attacked the most badass female character I have ever known, costing her the sequel she deserved. I don’t intend to forgive this. I will be avoiding everything Disney, MCU or otherwise, for a very long time (missing endgame and spider-man will be painful, but I will catch them for free on some plane ride).

Sorry, for going off topic, but I had a quick question about Box Office Mojo's numbers in Belgium and I wasn't sure where to ask. (My sister lives in Belgium, which is why I am interested) For two week in Belgium ("February 20-24" and "February 27-March 3"), Alita Battle Angel disappears from Box office Mojo's numbers. Is this normal? Also, why does it happen? Thx (Note: Is there is a better place or way to ask this type of question, please let me know.)

This is what I usually do, but it backfired on me recently. I went to see a movie in the Bahamas and there were no trailers at all! I missed the first ten minutes of the movie! There really should be at least one or two trailers...

Been tracking how CM is doing in China and noticed something and I wanted an opinion. https://piaofang.maoyan.com/dashboard  CM's percentage of the box office has been steadily falling over the last few hours from above 64 (where it has been all weekend) to now 58.8. It is falling at about .3 percent every twenty minutes. Is this the normal/expected pattern?

OK

Been tracking how CM is doing in China and noticed something and I wanted an opinion. https://piaofang.maoyan.com/dashboard CM's percentage of the box office has been steadily falling over the last few hours from above 65 (where it has been all weekend) to now 59.3. Fifteen minutes ago it was at 59.7. Is this normal?

I just got back from seeing CM... Beyond the quality of the movie, there are some truly glaring problems in terms of MCU continuity: CM kill count Someone with a military background (sort of a dick to everyone), zero compulsions about killing, and a history of being manipulated is the last person, man or woman, you would want to get superman-level power. Right after thinking this, CM goes and kills tens of thousands of Aliens with a cocky smile on her face... (Someone with "superman" level of power NEEDS a superman "no-kill policy" to fall in the heroic category...) This is a pretty serious problem. I mean, the kill count for the rest of the avengers is in the single digits: http://collider.com/avengers-kill-count/ Meanwhile, CM kill count is in thousands, +30 years more of killing... Why did CM allow Ronan the Accuser and Thanos to commit genocide unchecked for nearly 30 years? CM being absent from Earth because she is maintaining the peace of the galaxy is fine and all, but what exactly has she doing? The two biggest threats to galaxy (Ronan and Thanos) were widely known (openly engaging genocide over long periods of time). CM could have kicked Thanos ass at any time (prior to the gauntlet), and there is no way she was unaware what he was up to. Are you telling me CM prioritized the survival of a small group of refugees over preventing dozens, if not hundreds, of planetary-level genosides? Was she on a 30-year vacation or what?
