Learn about these hidden Easter eggs and see if Alita is true to the original comics in the past and present lives of Alita: Battle Angel? How to evaluate the manga "Dream"? How is Alita different from comics? The mystery of Alita's life? Sharem's Secret Alita sequel goes to conjecture to focus on "Satoshi Watch movies", not to pursue the amount of running, only to grind the fine.

Cameron's "Alita: Battle Angel" has finally met with domestic audiences, and this self-question and self-answer analysis article will explore with you the differences and connections between "Alita: Battle Angel" and the original "Dream".

"Alita" is not like Marvel's super British movies, Marvel comics and movies are very distinct, and the plot of Marvel movies will not appear in comics, which is equivalent to the product of two plots.

However, the plot of "Alita" can be said to be based on an anime ova in 1993, and this ova is based on the first three manga of the manga "Dream".

Therefore, if you want to see the god restoration of "Dream", then many of the bridges of "Alita", and even the picture action, can find the source in the comic, and some of the bridges in the film can almost be used as a storyboard script.

For example, the highest degree of reduction I think is the setting of the world view scene, whether it is the shape and function of Shalem, or the appearance of Scrap Iron Town, it is almost directly converted from the comic to the image, which is also Cameron's favorite place for this comic.

In terms of plot, the film also has several seamless restorations, such as the scene where Dr. Id finds Alita at the beginning.

When Alita fights with the villain, she is also unloaded in eight pieces, and finally uses one hand and head to blind the villain's eyes.

There is also the scene where Hugo sells the secret identity of human mechanical organs and drinks with Victor.

Later, when Hugo is nearly killed, it is Alita who takes out her heart and keeps Hugo's head alive, allowing Hugo to survive.

In the end, Hugo is replaced by a mechanical body, still not forgetting Sharem, trying to climb up on his own, and is crushed by the mechanical gear, And Alita can't save Hugo, these plots, all appear in the comics.

Of course, there is also the most exciting death ball game in the whole film, which is also shown in a large space in the comic, of which the fourth part of the comic is almost all about the death ball game, the death ball and the detailed game rules, the hierarchy and so on.

The pros and cons of "Dream" are obvious.

The advantage is the comic book's whimsical worldview, and there are many very advanced science fiction ideas, which if extended outward, you can find the shadow of Ghost in the Shell from Alita's image.

Those robot shapes run rampant in scrap iron town, and they are also somewhat similar to "Iron Fist and Steel Fist".

Even the plot behind the comic, interspersed into the dream, the plot in the brain, etc., makes people feel like "Inception".

By the time of the last oder comics, the entire worldview expanded into the universe, and it felt like a Star Wars setting.

In short, the brain hole of "Dream" is so big that it has been projected in many film and television works, but it is said that these film and television works are earlier than "Alita", which also leads to the emergence of "Alita", which makes people feel a little less surprised, if Cameron releases "Alita" 5 years earlier, it may be more shocking to the audience.

Of course, the shortcomings of the comics of "Dream" are also obvious, because "Dreams" is a serial publication, so as long as it is not published, it has been made up, and the comics have been compiled from the beginning of the "Dreams" series, to "last oder", to "Dreams: Mars Wars" (currently serialized), so it has been compiled, and it has been rotten.

And the plot of "Dream" is too Japanese, every big event, there will be a big boss, Alita is in the upgrade of the monster has been fighting, but there is no obvious change in its own personality.

Compared with "Dragon Ball", Sun Wukong from a child to an adult, from a Saiyan to a super Saiyan to a sanchao, from single to have a family, the human setting is plump and delicate, although the plot is also constantly encountering stronger enemies, but it is very hot, and "Dream" is very inferior in the plot.

If you are interested in reading manga, just look at the earliest and most classic "Dream", a total of 8 books.

Dr. Ed of "Alita" has no family, and in the movie, Dr. Id has joined the family and has an extra daughter, which is done to make Dr. Ed more positive, and also makes Dr. Ed more motivated to be a bounty hunter.

Alita's Berserker armor is only one of them in the comics, in which Alita has changed her body many times, but the film seems to lock on to Alita's armored body, and it is not known whether the sequel will upgrade Alita's armored body.

The plot of the death ball game in the comic is that after Hugo's death, Alita wants to escape from grief to participate, and the film allows the death ball game to enter in advance, the reason is actually very simple and crude, that is, to add more exciting fight scenes, and the effect is remarkable.

The two most famous red lines on Alita's face in the film are stained with blood after the dog's death, and in the comics, Alita painted it with scrap iron town oil before the battle, and the dog is not dead.

Sharem's biggest boss, Roya, played by Edward Norton, shows his face at the end, and Roya can control the brains of his subordinates at will and switch consciousness at will, which does not appear in the comics.

In addition, the biggest difference between the film and the comic is Alita's life, it seems that the film is burying a big pit.

In the comics, Alita is also amnesiac and constantly retrieving her memories, in "Dreams: Mars Wars", Alita's life is further expanded, "Mars Wars" is divided into two time periods, namely Alita's childhood and the current plot.

In Mars Wars, Alita is picked up by a doctor named Finch when she is very young, and Alita is also amnesiac before she is picked up, and at the same time, Erica is picked up.

After that, Alita and Erica live in an orphanage and have a normal education and life.

In the plot of Last Oder, Alita and her have to flee due to the ongoing civil war on Mars, and Alita and Erica have to flee after the war burns to their place.

They encounter the army while fleeing, and are eventually rescued by Gelda, who is Alita's first encounter with a mech.

Mecha is an exclusive tactic of Mars, which is actually a bit like judo + taekwondo.

After Alita and Erica are rescued by Gelda, they join the Martian defenders and learn mech skills.

The film should not be detailed enough to show these contents, and in the comics, after humans colonize various planets, they have become independent, and Mars is one of the independent planetary countries.

Although there have been many wars between the planets in the manga, none of them are the ones depicted in the film. Therefore, the shaky battle in the film is newly added to simplify the plot in the comic.

In the comics, Earth causes a battle between Mars and Earth because it has blocked the largest port of Mars at one point.

As for Alita in the film, their attack on Sharem should be related to Roya.

In the end, the appearance of Edward Norton is really amazing, and Roya is a scientist and a leading figure in the comics.

In the comics, Sharem was once connected to the ground, inhabited by scientists and elites, and Sharem was cut off from the ground in a man-made disaster, which may be related to the Martian invasion campaign in the film.

The origin of the name of the scrap iron town (city) is because of the above air city Sharem City, Sharem City throws garbage to the surface of the earth like a stool all year round, and these garbage can play a certain development role for people on the ground, so there are many people gathered under Sharem over time, so there is a scrap iron town.

So the question is, why is there such an aerial city as Shalem, in the Chronology of the "Dream", the Earth once encountered the extinction disaster of a meteorite impact, after which humanity began a revival plan, and humans built a circular connection orbit in the orbit of the Earth's satellites, and then built the cosmic capitals "Yale" and "Tegu".

As a transit station for Yale City and the earth's ground, it is the "Sharem" aerial city, Sharem City was once connected to the earth, and the reason why humans built Sharem City and Yale City is to better prevent catastrophes, but also to colonize the planets of the solar system, and even other planets outside the solar system.

This included the Mars project, so Mars was established at that time.

Sharem's internal structure and facilities have been hidden in the film, not for the audience to see, and must be left for the sequel to be presented.

In the comics, Sharem has a very complete urban planning and construction, and the urban hierarchy structure of Sharem and Scrap Iron Town is reminiscent of The Hunger Games.

The Sharem people have a symbol between their eyebrows, just like Dr. Id's wife in the film, but in the comics, the Sharem people are actually not purebred humans, even more mechanical than the cyborgs in Scrap Iron Town, because the Sharem people have been transformed by Roya, removing their brains and turning them into chip brains.

Including Roya himself, he also uses a chip brain.

The setting of the comic may be the source of the film, Roya can switch the role on his own, when I watched the movie, I was still thinking, it may be that Roya is like the ultimate boss of "The Matrix", a ubiquitous AI, and there is no physical character, but in the end Edward Norton appeared to break my idea.

The Death Ball Game, as well as the desert world outside scrap iron town, are important plots of the comic, and Alita later contradicts Dr. Id and runs away from scrap iron town, not knowing whether these stories can be put on the movie screen.

But for sure, the sequel Alita will definitely go to Sharem to find Roya, it is not clear how many "Alita" series will be produced, if according to the traditional trilogy, the final showdown between Alita and Roya will definitely be placed in the third part, and even linked to the plot of Mars.

But the final decision on the development of the sequel depends on the rhythm of Ka Shen's filming, as well as the box office of the first part, in three years and three years, three years and three years when the "Avatar" sequel finally has a little eyebrow, I also hope that Ka Shen will not abandon the "Alita" series, if you can direct it yourself, it will be more perfect.
