Why Alita: Battle Angel Has Such Big Eyes

Its because she is a Martian, as was Gelda. no need to over analyze.

All the warriors that were fighting with her on the planet had big eyes….they looked like her…

those are some pretty eyes.😍😍😍

Bro she look like a toad

Do you guys remember Tanya in Youjou Senki?

The gynoid Alita is her long lost sister! 😂

Yeah, but why only Alita? You could've made everyone big-eyed.

Mai waifu!! <3 – anime fanboys.

Only see Avatar..

Her eyes are beautiful yet sexy

If they wanted anime eyes should've gave her circle lenses or something

I just saw this movie and it was great. Lots of fun and lots of heart.

Stop looking at me with those big ol eyes.

People say Alita A warrior From Mars Right ?

She is from Mars, less sunlight ergo bigger eyes.

I hope its also the last time some has to see it

What's the big deal with the eyes? It is NOT as significant as the STORY/Plot, character development, theme of the movie. People who are hung up with the eyes should just get over it otherwise be judged as superficial. Do you judge a book by it's cover?? Silly.

It's not a bad choice. The real mistake, in my opinion, was not having continuity of design. Gestalt principles exist for a reason damn it! Not having all of the other characters look like anime characters breaks the cohesiveness of the film and pulls the audience out of the composition all together.

…………ok, I get the fact that they try to make the eyes look anime/manga style. But you don't just do they eyes and let *EVERYONE* else look normal. I bet this movie can do a bit better if the eyes would look…..normal.

I just love those eyes. Definitely a bold choice to make and most people are on the opposition…but I like it….looks expressive and soulful.

Its disturbing

It creeps me out. I won't watch this movie ever, because of this. I don't want to be sitting for two hours watching a character that gives me the creeps.

I think psychologically we expect people with big eyes to be children. So the image sends out mixed messages. It's a bit paedo frankly. This has always been a bit of a problem with manga, so unwise to transfer this thinking into a more photo-real format.

She looks dumb af

Ah, ok you ruined it on purpose, gotcha

ya well its kinda dumb in the movie

Still an awful decision, it feels so weird with her having big eyes but not anyone else. She feels so fake.

She is a robot. It doesn't matter for me. Batter than a huge knuckle.

I typed in “cgi girl with big eye”
😂 still hot

So they did it just because they could…

One could also ask: why do Disney characters have such big eyes?

Fun fact: When this film gets released the eyes will still be complained about and the makers will react surprised by the back lash. "I did not know people would react this strongly to it. I don't understand the problem." Mean while you normal people reading this will know they were voicing these concerns from day day one online when stills and images were released and the movie was announced. They had time to know everyone was saying it is, "The uncanny valley effect." They had enough time to know and correct this issue. They are just acting dumb or just deciding to take a risk here and release it anyway to see what happens.

Also, I don't see any of those that defend the eyes making any complaints about her mouth and nose not being anime style.

change the eyes to more small !!! plzzzzz!!!! dont relese like this

Watched the trailer .. somehow I was 'creeped out (mildly shocked) again and again (whenever Alita popped into the scene) .. but the special effects were incorporated perfectly in my opinion, and I trust Cameron and Rodriguez to deliver another epic film that everybody will want to experience ..

Big eyes have nothing to do with "windows to the soul" like the MALE director stated. Big have are associated with youth. Anime is youthful, Manga can be sexual. This is just another insidious manifestation of how today's society is normalizing the sexualisation of young girls. Putting a childish face on an developed teenage body is disturbing and wrong.. the brain of a man will forge neurological pathways where there should be none. Bad idea.

Him: its unique because no one ever did that
Me: tf like somebodys gonna make that shitty eyes😂😂
