Cherno is in worse shape for that. It blew up under water and flooded with water.
Next movie would be interesting if countries rebuild Jaegers to try to conquer the remaining world.
And it would make sense to keep some around in case another portal opened. They had to realize the alien dimension is still there.
i wouldnt mind the sequel being a prequel
all out kaiju and jaeger war would look awesome
No Iāve read it, I didnāt say all, I said āmostā. As you bolded heh. I chose my words carefully.
But lets be honest here, they arenāt going to just use those two armors to fight off what comes in the sequel. There WILL be new suits. It wouldnāt be a sequel if they didnāt try and kick it up a notch now would itā¦
Just the cockpit, and it would take more than that to make it only scrap-worthy. Besides, materials can be recycled, if need be!
And, water can be pumped out.
You act like itās supposed to be written off.
Jaegers are big enough-scale wise that you donāt write them off as done unless they get completely atomized like Striker and Gypsy in the Breach did.
Repairing them is almost always more worth it than just leaving them to sit there.
Gypsy got messed up in PR1ās prologue, and it was BETTER than new given time and resources(not too long, if Iām recalling Tales from Year Zero correctly).
Come onā¦
Right, you know how this is probably going to go, and youāre thinking about this in terms of actuality, like myself.
And, of course, there will be more.
Iām just baffled that Crimson and Cherno are being thought of as done for.
Cherno got hit with acid, melted, pummeled, exploded, crushed, and left underwater, full of water. Itās fucking done. They could maybe save an arm MAYBE, but for all intensive purposes, itās fucking done.
You act like water = "Oh, you had something mechanical/electronic, and it got wet in any way? Get another one!"
That is not how physics/chemistry/science actually work. Iām at a loss that anyone actually might believe in that.
Also, regarding how much of a beating Cherno actually tookā¦
Did that explosionās size look in any way like it was from anything besides just the cockpit, really?
It is a little bigger than Leatherbackās fist, and the explosion from it was also a tiny bit bigger than his hand.
Also, looking again, Cherno still had both arms, though the one Otachi attacked was pretty damaged on its hand, and Cherno was actually still going well enough, the pilots just got killed, is all. Jaegers move because of their pilots, after-all; they are motion capture mecha, like in G Gundam. They WERE still fighting after all the damage that got done, too.
Here, watch 2:22-2:32 closely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8g3TUg2Jp0Q
Leatherback weighs about 2900 tons. Cherno weighs 2450-something.
Cherno was starting to actually get up again, even with that heavy opponent holding it down.
Also, pics to help show that you are seeing damage where none happened.
Still has both arms, right arm is damaged: [details=Spoiler]

You know what this level of wear and tear is called in workshops, and other places that work with heavy equipment?
More work than usual.
It really ISNāT that much damage for a Jaeger; reactor/reactor housing, right hand, cockpit/cockpit enclosure, and a fair amount of armor plating.
That is not a lot of damage, for stuff of this scale.
For instance, one of the more prominent examples, this is what Horizon Brave(Mark 1Chinese Jaeger, before Crimsonās time) looked like when it lost, and itās pilots were killed:

These are not impossible, nor improbable repair jobs.
Ignore all that I just pointed out to show that you arenāt thinking about this with how actual physics work.
Please.
Let this be the 7th time I get ignored for showing reality, and not telling of exaggeration.
Iām fine with being a doomed intellectual victor.
who gives a fuck
Good news on the sequel today
Fucking FINALLY.
Iām not sure how I feel about the director but as long as he understands mecha and monsters, itās fine
John Boyega has the lead role in Pacific Rim 2. Some pretty solid news IMO
Been a while since I have seen any news on this project. The title of the movie is now Pacific Rim: Uprising
Ugh not sure I like the sound of it going away from his vision.
Agreed. However, if the movie knows what lane it is supposed to be in and deliver something special I am all for it.
Yeah, as long as itās good and has that spirit of mecha, Iām sure Iāll still love it
New set photos from Uprising: http://www.pacificrim2-movie.com/news/john-boyega-flees-fallen-jaeger-new-pacific-rim-2-set-photos
That last pic looks like a slightly fatter, much younger Denzel Washington to me lol
They saving so much money on the sequel just looking at the pics. No longer armor plates? Just some fat boi in cosplay?
Fucking Kaiju will just be niggas in rubber dog suits.
Yeah I agree the outfit looks pretty bad, but maybe theyāre going to CG it up a bit? Ugh, I dunno, Iām still worried overall
Tbh it just looks like it was made to have the details cged in.
