Huh. That never even accrued to me. The characters in Alita weren't really Asian, were they??? I remember a seeing a picture of most of the cast and it looked like a mixed bag of different ethnicities. |

Remember how the facial hair of the actor playing Superman was digitally removed in post-production, the result of which being worse than their original appearance?
It appears that the situation with Gally's eyes is the complementary problem to this. |

I hate those CG looking eyes. Sometimes looking like the anime and manga can be a bad thing.

I think the eyes work well if they drive home the fact that she still isn't a regular person.

Oh my god! they're whitewashing Kansas City,Mo .... /s What the Hell, so many white actors portraying characters living in a futuristic Kansas City,so un-immersive,,, /s Whelp only thing for me is the CGI main character,her eyes primarily. Edit: guess purists could bitch about her name not being Gally. Last edited by Nordhmmer on Fri Dec 08, 2017 5:19 pm; edited 1 time in total |

The setting is a futuristic Kansas City if I recall correctly. |

I believe the original Battle Angel/Gunnm manga series was set (post apocalyptic) Missouri of all places, if I remember right... which would help explain the ethnically diverse cast. Either way, people won't complain about whitewashing right now...they are too distracted by the eyes. |

The actress that plays Alita is Hispanic. So "brown washing"? That would be such a dumb thing for someone to complain about but the internet is filled with insane people. |

26th century USA - Kansas City,Mo = Scrapyard Colorado Springs,Co = Necropolis And I believe another setting is in Texas (The eyes are too Gollum for me  )

Oh dear, I usually complain much everything about a Hollywood adaptation of japanese originals but this one is perfect. People saying the eyes are weird, but I feel very okay with it. Hyped for its release!

I'm more curious about how the hell they got 3 academy award winners and Robert Rodriguez for a manga adaptation,
