@screenplayed_ Gather round, and listen to the story of the unstoppable fan army:
It was a dark and story night in February 2019, when a new science fiction film based on a fairly obscure manga arrived in cinemas. Critics had already assessed the film as mediocre at best...
@screenplayed_ It seemed destined to go down as an unremarkable box office flop, BUT when those who did decide to see it entered those theatres, a solid majority were in fact very impressed, and a non-trivial minority fell absolutely in love with it!
@screenplayed_ Day after day those fans would return to the cinema to see the movie again, until all the cinematic runs ran out!
@screenplayed_ Separated from each other by oceans and continents, those fans turned to Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook, and joined together to form one of the most energetic and tight-knit fan armies every to have existed!
@screenplayed_ So now, this fan army roams the Earth searching for new people to recruit into their ranks, patiently waiting for the day a sequel is announced, and their franchise rises up to take its rightful place among the pop culture titans.
@screenplayed_ Certain "rationalists" will tell you this is just an urban legend, that supposed sightings are merely bots, pranksters, or political activists, but I can tell you, I have seen this army with my own eyes and it is as real as you and I!
@screenplayed_ If you want proof, merely open Twitter and ask for movie recommendations. Within minutes the fanbase will have appeared to recommend the movie; hundreds of them stretching as far as the eye can see, and once they arrive, nothing in this world will stop them.
@screenplayed_ And the name of that film was...[throws back hood to reveal shoulder length raven hair, impossibly large eyes, and a streak of blood under each eye] ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL! And you've just summoned the #AlitaArmy!
