Editing Needed

Whoever wrote this article needs to go back in and edit it. It's filled with grammatical mistakes, particularly misplaced modifiers. The first couple of paragraphs contain several glaring examples, making the sentences grammatically nonsensical. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.184.74.7 (talk) 17:02, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Anime News Network as a source seems to be somewhat troublesome.

Today I went through and deleted two peices of information cited by Anime News Network for not actually containing any information about the film. The site seems to often report on James Cameron's plans for future movies, where the sources do not mention Alita, and then include a blurb at the bottom that says something to the effect of "James Cameron also spoke about making an adaptation of Alita: Battle Angel".These are somehow then inserted into the Wiki article despite them having no relevance to the topic at hand. Please make sure that the news in the production section actually pertains to the movie before adding it.--Deathawk (talk) 00:59, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Deathawk: Please cite specific examples if you want to make this claim. Until then, I've reverted your changes per WP:BRD. G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 02:38, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]


@G S Palmer: 1. The most obvious (which has now been changed) stated "In April 2016, Deadline.com reported that the original two Avatar sequels had been expanded to four. It was not clarified whether this would further delay Alita: Battle Angel.[26]" Link The Anime News Network specificily notes that "Deadline did not report if Cameron made any comments at CinemaCon about whether he delay and expansion of the Avatar films will mean further delays for the Alita: Battle Angel film.[[1]]) and in fact searching for the name "alita" or "Battle Angel" in the original article does not bring back anything except those from the comment section. (Link)Given that this happened after Robert Rodriguez was already in talks to direct. I do not see any value in including in the article itself.
2. The Wiki as it currently sits states "Cameron indicated that his plans to make the film directly after Avatar had been cancelled, and he would instead be working on a film titled The Dive, a biography of freedivers Francisco Ferreras and Audrey Mestre.[17]" The Anime News Network however, other than in the title does not mention the film at all except for a small line at the bottom which states " Cameron told MTV in June of 2006 that he was working on both Avatar and an adaptation of Yukito Kishiro's Battle Angel manga as potential future franchises, but has not elaborated on his Battle Angel plans since then." which does not mention a timeframe for either much less that one had been "cancelled" (Link)
In addition to this I would say that I am very concerned about how the article reads like a timeline currently more so than an actual encyclopedic article, I started working on getting it to be more Prose and less Proseline but I seemed to of been interupted. However I do want to get this matter settled and I imagine that that's a discussion for later. --Deathawk (talk) 03:43, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Deathawk: does this work better, in your opinion? And by the way, fixing a ping won't work unless you also redo you signature to give it a timestamp to work with. G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 20:34, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@G S Palmer:It works better, but it's still not great may I suggest "In May 2008, Cameron indicated he be working on a film titled The Dive, a biography of freedivers Francisco Ferreras and Audrey Mestre. <ref> Thus delaying the film again " The issue is that he did not specificly discuss delaying the movie, but rather plans for a new movie that just happened to delay the old one. (hopefully the ping works this time) --Deathawk (talk) 05:06, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Critical response

I think the critical response is unfair. The so called consensus was written early on and many other reviews came after that. The critical response gives WP:UNDUE weight to rotten tomatoes and not enough other reviews are inlcuded. -- 109.79.74.194 (talk) 00:48, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hannah? Bhuvan? Leon?....

The name of the characters and places seems to be related to another translation of the film while removing the original names of the American film, please try to hang into the official data for the American version of the film. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Travsam (talk • contribs) 15:29, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
