Pacific Rim Thread (2013)

I asked a few pages back, seems that there will be dubbed versions. I’ll be buying the JP version when it lands.

kill yo self nigga, you got shitty taste anyways.

as bad as grownups 2 is, im sure it cant be as fucking bad as this pos movie that srk’ers are flocking to for reasons unkown to me. i never there were this many tasteless fucks in the fgc.

edit: i just realised why you fucks like this movie. americans also enjoy that fake ass faggot ass wrestling that nobody in the world cares about (cept maxicans and japanese). you guys like that fake gay shit, faggots. grow the fuck up, try watching some real man shit.

Now you’re just trying too hard.

couldnt take charlie day seriously tho. to me he’ll always be the bathroom cleaner that can’t read :rofl:

Agreed, he was my least favorite character. I was hoping that he would show some variety in his acting, but nope, it was just Charlie Kelly who somehow ended up in a sci-fi movie about robots and monsters.

I only recognized him as that dude from that show that sonicabid always talks about. Never watched it tho

Same here! That was pretty shocking actually. We saw a lot more of Strika.

For the EMP thing, a man-made EMP, let alone one designed by the Kaiju’s creators, would more-or-less vaporize electronic components of the modern age(that aren’t sufficiently protected), yeah, no question.

But it probably would not do too much to OG electronic parts, like vacuum tubes. Think WWII Radar internals for reference.
Vacuum tubes are still made today, and a good amount of amount of those tough-as-hell tubes go to applications in the field
of pulsed power. Without getting too technical, they are used in stuff like atom smashers, EMP testing equipment(ironic), and nuclear fusion research equipment.

I wouldn’t be that surprised if Gipsy Danger (the “analog” mech) used stuff like tubes to go along with the reactor that powers it… I have a feeling that today’s non-high-end/non-military electronics(the electronics in the PR are probably more advanced as a necessity) wouldn’t be able to handle the strain of being subjected to the multiple types of stress a Jaegar would have to withstand(JUST MOVING AROUND, getting hit by lightning/the EMP in the movie, wear-and-tear) as well as a tube.

An EMP even fries electronic stuff that isn’t currently on, too(unplugging it doesn’t help, a strong EMP will induce a surge in the equipment’s internal conductors, being plugged in will make it worse)… unless it can handle the surge, or it’s shielded properly. Since the base Gipsy Danger was in got hit by the EMP as well, maybe Gipsy Danger being totally unaffected by that was a function of tougher tech?

Are there more Pacific Rim gifs like these? I am dying :lol:

Besides the Striker Eureka one(top of previous page), I have no idea.

I liked Professor Charlie, although yeah I agree, I couldn’t seperate him from his role in Always Sunny for the life of me, but that just made him a bit funnier when horrible shit happened to him. It is like David Cross, none of his roles post Arrested Development don’t wind up reminding me of Tobias and before that I knew him from Run Ronnie Run.

I saw the movie again last night, and I noticed a few more things that made the movie so awesome.

-When Yancy and Raleigh were suiting up, their suits were already scuffed and worn from previous skirmishes. That was a nice touch and subtly gave us the understanding that these were hard-nosed, experienced pilots.

-The kaiju creators’ homeworld design is seems to function as a single bio-system. Their entrance within the portal the prevents foreign bodies not recognized by their society from coming in, and the journey Raleigh took floating in gateway resembled an embryo floating in amniotic fluid. Sure their technology seemed biologically based from the beginning, but it might hint that there is more to their society. Kaiju might simply be the ant equivalent to soldiers and the only creatures that died when the Gipsy Danger blew up were workers who are far removed from the central civilization. The homeworld might really be a single organism.

I think the sequel could go like this:

[details=Spoiler]The kaiju next time might be more svelte and possibly humanoid (think T-1000 advancement compared to a Hunter-Killer in Terminator) and have a more tactical approach based on the intel they have gathered from the mind melds. Maybe even hack the minds of earthlings to bring about political instability (like parasitic wasps).

Due to the propaganda, humans take the kaiju/ jaeger technology and weaponize them for their own conflicts, and eventually learn to create their own bridge out of hubris and greed.[/details]

Nah, I want them to take the giant monster fights to different directions.

Shouldn’t just be the rifts and only rifts, or if it is it shouldn’t be the same villains.

Outer space aliens, evil Jaegers, man made monsters, keep it fresh and new with each film.

One of the themes of PR was escalation…there def needs to be way bigger enemies next time

Bigger is nice, but imo they’re already as big as they need to be. The real danger comes when they become smarter and can plan ahead.

Adapt or Die.

I wont be satisfied til we have Earth sized Jaegers vs Sun sized Kaiju in space

next movie needs less eva references and more ultraman references. i want jaegers who’s chest glows when its weakening.

ROCKETOOH PUNCHO was good shit :cool:

Fuck both of those things.

Keep them around the size they are now(close to the size of the Jaegers) with a few huge ones like Slattern to be the big daddy bad asses. And keep them about as smart as a well trained monkey, which they seem to be now. Smart enough to know their objectives, to improvise, and to use tools. Maybe have one that’s really smart or something, but that’s it.

Throw in a fucking ridiculous sized one somewhere too, like Biollante big.

Nah, I want them to keep that shit local. Could you imagine Kaiju being adapted for the desert? What about forests or woodland areas?

Then you escalate it to outer space battles with thrusters. Fuck it and go Gundam with it, beams sabers and shields out the ass baby!

Calms down
