cutting corners with safety, yes, but apparently not killing power, based on their Kaiju kill list.
The triplets just weren’t wary enough of that OD tail-claw, and they paid for it.
That could happen to any Jaeger with a head.
true, but i mean thats a nice philosophical point, but that doesnt mean if they wanted to try to capture one alive, or at least a body, they couldnt have, especially early on. like its natural to want to capture some alive, or at least the bodies, so they woulda figured it out, but in the meantime lining the floor with explosives and focusing mostly on that area with surveillance and firepower when kaiju’s were detected would still be more then enough to keep that shit at bay for a long time, even after they started to spawn more then 1 at a time within shorter gaps.
i was just pointing out quickly how a single point of entry plot of humans vs monsters in the context of pacific rim is just outlandish. you cannot defend a single point of entry, AND YOU KNOW WHEN THEY SPAWN. lol. that makes no sense at all. the technology that it would take to build and power a mech, let alone monitor a rip in space time from both ends means that they should have no problem dealing with an enemy that comes and goes from 1 place.
it wouldnt really be a waste of ammo. just gotta be efficient. plus this is the world at stake, we will build a thousand bombs similar to the one they wanted to use once they got through the barrier. not to mention, that bomb clearly wasnt that powerful, and im not sure if it woulda done the job if mach 3 with a missing arm and a broken leg can brace the impact.
yeah, i mean they did, but as a small plot point i just thought it was silly. it was just so throw away. i would rather had seen that dude disappeared to the middle of nowhere just waiting out the world or his death, discouraged and in despair over the death of his brother and over confidence against the kaijus, rather then hey we are building this wall and this is what he does now. oh shit the wall that isnt even taller then the kaijus failed. lol
if anything i can respect that building a wall is definitely something human beings would try because we are that idiotic and hopeful, rather then in hard times, practical, logical, and rational. haha
I didn’t see it on the last page, so deal with it if it has already been posted.

The Russian jaegar my have a bad kill count, but it was obviously built to last, a typical Russian trait… until it ran into its mortal enemy… acid spit!
I always wondered why the have mecha cockpits in the most obvious places (head and chest). Why not design a mecha with the cockpit in the ass? Ever seen a giant robot get kicked in the ass? Don’t think so. I’d feel a lot safer in an ass cockpit. 
Yep, cut the purse strings off, shipped the entire program to Hong Kong and told a brother he has enough funding to last 6 months.
You may be safer, but I’ll take the manly approach to cockpit placement:
the ultimate COCKpit indeed. “Bob lets stick the pilot in the most exposed area possible in the centre of its mass and jutting out way to the front!” Damn you just reminded me how much of a bitch Leo is.
I thought one of the Jaegers had a cockpit in it’s chest, can’t remember which is was. Was it the Chinese?
I don’t agree. How boring would it be to sit through 90 minutes of some emo hero constantly doubting himself about everything and boo-hooing about his dead brother? The guy had 5 years to get over that crap and I’m sure he spent that time doing his emo hermit phase until he finally accepted the situation and got the hell over it. Working on the wall was just to earn a couple of bucks so he could continue his John Rambo drifter routine.
I agree at the lack of redundancies before and after the wall and it would have been perfect if they interjected more tongue and cheek newscasts throughout the movie like Starship Troopers or Robocop. Imagine seeing a commercial promoting the wall of life that is suddenly interrupted of live footage of a Kaiju bum rushing the very same wall or debate with a John Stewart personality calling out some politician for cutting Jaeger funding and using the money to build mountain retreats for the rich and powerful.
I’d buy that for a dollar!
Am still wondering why they didnt stick plasma cannons all over the walls. I mean its an ancient defensive concept with no application of siege warfare at all. Where they expecting the Kaiju to reach the wall and go “Oh shit, cant go this way, better go somewhere else! Theres no way all these awesome biological weapons am armed with can help me out in this situation, am not smart enough either to step over this shit”.
Wtf were the submarines? The US and Russia and even China and NK would have this situation under control in 5 mins, IE taking shifts looking at the rift armed with a fuckton of nuclear torpedos -_-
But what would all that radiation from the nuclear weapons going off underwater do to the oceans? Ripping apart the Kaiju with giant mech is better.
it’s infinitely more entertaining too
I think a Kaiju energy net would be hte way to go, granted their evolutions would best it eventually, I would really look at plugging the hole. It wouldn’t have to be nuclear, but I’m sure a weapon could be designed to watch the rift. Hell, why not BUILD THAT WALL AROUND THE RIFT.
- :bluu:
shit didnt stop 40 years of RL of underwater testing did it lol, besides if they can make mecha and plasma cannons am sure they coulda whipped up some decent conventional tech to deal with it. Just saying, The robots were cool but if they were planning to strip resources for a wall they coulda went a bit more balls deep with some decent militaristic thinking. In the sequel am hoping for some Kamikaze mechs, the story needs more heroes.
well obvious you dont need nukes to deal with them. his point is that there is no reason to not be able to easily defend/attack a single point of entry. it was just terrible writing.
you know what was also stupid, at the end where homey couldnt find the kaiju circling him, but at home base they were like its right there, its right on your left, and hes like i dont see it where. umm, why the fuck doesnt he have underwater sonar, and he is having to have to use his eyes to see threw a fucking mech visor in pitch black water. lool
i mean, i just cannot get over the stupidity of the wall. it was like above and beyond stupid. no redundancies, no weapons mounted to it, nothing. just a concrete steel reinforced waste of money to try to stop a fucking 15 or more story tall giant monster that weighs like 5000 tons. lol
i think japan might just be retarded enough to actually like this movie.
so any of you retards still think its a great fucking watch? or have you actually woken up?
It is a great watch, I thought it looked amazing and great action. Storyline was cat piss weak but aside from ripping the movie to pieces on over analysis you cant say its not a good movie to switch your brain off and watch explosions for.
They could’ve put underwater mines right above the rift’s entrance.
A Kaiju crosses the rift.
BAM!
Then drops back down in pieces.
Aliens: “Dafuq!”
Not just that, but the radiation wouldn’t even spill through the rift’s barrier. So in exchange for destroying 1 or 2 Kaiju and nothing else, you’ve fucked an entire ecosystem that humans have to live off of.
Wasn’t it stated why they stopped using nukes because… yeah… it created giant dead zones in the ocean… I remember hearing something about that; maybe it was the comic…
I don’t recall that in the movie so it must have been a comic.
