Why Alita: Battle Angel's Eyes Are So Big, According To Robert RodriguezI wish he explained why the **** they made them big and cartoonish in the first place. When everyone else has realistic human proportions.
According to Robert Rodriguez, they wanted to keep big eyes because it's like in manga... But because she's a cyborg, they can explain with "because she's a creation".
There is zero logic to the eyes. If they wanted to do that with everyone, fine. It would still look like crap, as the eyes are so obviously CGI (not because they are unreal looking, but because they are glossy as hell), you can at least call it a stylistic choice. But her being the only one with them, draws your attention to how odd and fake they look.The eyes are still visually off putting. We saw the trailer for this before Aquaman and my boyfriend was immediately, "what's up with her eyes?" and I explained that it's how she looks in the Anime and he pointed out that's how EVERYONE looks in Anime so why do the other characters look normal.
I see they're saying it's because she's a cyborg... but I'm not sure why an inventor would construct her with ginormous eyes. It just makes her look a bit odd.
This will be one of those movies I'll see if the reception here is decent. The trailer alone hasn't pulled me in.
She's a doll or what's his face thought she was some sort of doll based on her features, thus gave her a porcelain body to match.There is zero logic to the eyes.
Thank you for affirming there is zero logic to this.She's a doll or what's his face thought she was some sort of doll based on her features, thus gave her a porcelain body to match.
If that's not the reason Rob Rod went with, that's the subconscious takeaway.
it's also in the name - Battle Angel AlitaThank you for affirming there is zero logic to this.
Well it isn't cute, nor is there any indication that in the movie it is considered so. She is an outcast from what the trailers indicate. Considering the general reaction to the film and the character's look, it is having the exact opposite effect. And in those very examples you gave, the matching designs all have the odd eyes. She is running around normal humans and other cyborgs/androids, and is the only one who has eyes that make her look the way she does, which are not done well. In Frozen Elsa doesn't have giant eyes, while Anna doesn't.it's also in the name - Battle Angel Alita
all the other times you see big eyes in anime/manga/Disney...
hell Ready Player One & Avatar, the logic is simply we're trying to get the audience to think the design is cute
The literal concept of this is that everyone sees a cute looking robot and suspects nothing else.Well it isn't cute, nor is there any indication that in the movie it is considered so.
