I know this is gonna sound nitpicky, but I'm disappointed that the Damascus blade will probably be a sword in the movie. That's the one thing it never was in the comics. It feels too heroic/romantic for Alita, whose fighting style is extremely utilitarian.
#AlitaBattleAngel
The thin sleek blade doesn't suit Alita. She's already visually sleek/elegant/pretty/cute. The harsh pragmatic form of the damascus blade provides a nice visual contrast and also belies her indomitable inner character.
#AlitaBattleAngel
I still hope the movie is good though. If they just follow the basic storyline, the core is SO GOOD that I'm certain it'll do really well. And I hope that brings Kishiro mounds of cash and brings more people to the comics :D

(THE COMIC IS SO DAMN COOL!!!)
Oops used the word "belies" wrong here lol what a dope! I should have said "reflects."
This is obvious right? Do I need to say it? :3

Actually movie Alita is even closer to the Metal Gear Rising version of Raiden

The fact that I DONT want to jump off a bridge for using a word so completely wrong means that I'm growing up a little, I think?

Wanna know why #Sonic looks so terrible in the Hollywood adaptation? It's because people in positions of power & influence genuinely think the new look is a better, more globally appealing design than the classic Sonic that we know and love. This is a thread on why that's dumb✌️
Throughout my career in videogames and animation in general, I often hear this hoary old chestnut:

"Only Western style art is mass market. Anime and everything else is niche"

It's this out of touch attitude that results in the butchering of something as iconic as Sonic.
Certain forces behind the film (and it's most likely from up top, not from the individual artists--don't go blaming them so fast!) are so arrogant that they believe their arbitrary meddling will result in improvements to classic time tested franchises.

RIP Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto, one of the most talented and explosive fighters to ever step into the ring. He was like a fighting game character come to life, competing at the highest levels of combat sports. He will be missed.

Longtime fans of MMA will recall that during the 2000s Kid Yamamoto was an absolute killer in the ring.
While the stereotype for Asian martial artists is one of stoic honor and discipline, Kid was known for his expolossive athleticism and raw ferocity (as you can see from this flying knee, one of the flashiest KOs of all time)

Found this big bad beetle boi on my porch the other night. It's a Xylotropes Gideon aka Thai fighting beetle (my fav animal)! Looks like our dogs had already found him and roughed him up a bit. He was writhing on his back covered in dirt, but these things are built tough!
I put him in a plastic bin with a longan (we have longan trees in our yard and they're everywhere this time of year). I left the top open so he could leave at any time.
When I checked in the next morning he was still there going to town on the fruit!

In life you’re going to lose friends, family and partners, but no matter who walks out of your life, never lose yourself. The most important thing, is to learn how to love yourself when u feel unloved by those around u and be there for yourself when you feel like u have no one.
I wish I can tell a story, or thread but I'm afraid coz I think you pipol are not ready for another thread.

Can I continue?????? 😢😢😢😢😢😢
I'm proud of her, not because of her selfish actions nor her appearance but because she never forgotten what I taught her about life. She won everything that I worked hard for, including my child and that was her victory but one thing she never managed to take is my soul.

A thread on the contradictions of leaving the EU. It'll try to be as neutral as possible in the circumstances. And it'll try to be simple and logical.

Let's separate this area by area into bite sized chunks so we can understand them, and then look at what we have at the end.
1. trade.
EU is the UKs largest trading partner, about 40-50% of trade depending on whether you count services. That trade % is declining over time, but not fast.

Most of your infrastructure and logistics are built around the EU too so that's a factor to consider.
So if you're gonna pay for your economy after Brexit you have to trade with the EU, or find a way to replace 40-50% of your economy, with a bit of wiggle room in the future for declining share of EU.

And you have to be efficient enough to pay for the increased logistics costs.

I'm going to rant a bit about Thanos. So, if you're one of the twelve people who isn't my mother that hasn't seen #InfinityWar yet, don't read this thread. There will be spoilers.
Except for a couple of years of X-Men in the mid-80s, I never really read comics. I like them-and I've mostly liked comic book movies-but they were never my thing. So I didn't come to the MCU with any knowledge of the backstory or expectations about the stories.
I generally accept changes to stories moving from one medium to another of they're necessary and done well. But I am one of those people who gets annoyed when something I like gets made into a movie or TV show and stuff I consider really important gets screwed with.

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.

Momo's don't forget list:
Don't forget to wear your knitted beanie on winter, your ears always hurt when you don't.
Don't forget to keep calm if the florist of our street doesn't have your favorite baby blue roses, take a deep breath and walk to the next flower shop, three streets north.

In my past life as an actor, I experienced varying degrees in multiple instances of what Terry describes here. It is most of why I quit.
The abusive dominance dynamic of men in positions of power in theatre, film, and TV? It is systemic. The abused are scared into silence.
I couldn’t bring myself to listen to that Weinstein tape for most of the day. When I finally did, it brought back a lot.
