I don't think the Dinosaurs were some sort of proto-Kaiju, since it would have been noticed the dinos were silicon-based instead of carbon based. Plust it would mean modern day birds would also be silicon-based organisms.

>>38216
"they" referred to the Kaiju, not to the Dinosaurs.

I wonder if Chuck drifting with his dad gave him mommy issues like Sasha Nein.
>yfw Chuck is Asuka

>>38220
I'm pretty sure I'd remember Raleigh jacking off in front of Chuck's comatose body though.

>>38220
I'm not the only one to think that. He even had the traditional arrogant mecha pilot jacket.

I found it cool that they gave shout-outs to other mech series in there, such as the VOTOMS helmets for the Russians.

>>38222
>>38221

Holy shit, its not just the helmets; Cherno's got the Scopedog's Arm Punch!

YOU HAVE MY UNDIVIDED ATTENTION

>>38223
Yep she's giving Otachi a hydraulic fisting.

>>38225
I like how he moves like a giant beast.

>>38220
I...never thought of it that way.

Gareth Edwards wants a Godzilla sequel to be Destroy All Monsters-inspired and feature Monster Island

It was a tremendous lapse of judgement for Stacker to not send Striker along with Cherno and Typhoon, and to leave Gypsy at the Shatterdome (why not send Raleigh with another of the candidates?). Otachi would have been easily dealt with before Leatherback arrived, and by then even with the EMP, both Gypsy and Cherno (no way Cherno was less "analog") would have been enough to contain the Kaiju.

>>38230
While this all may be true, it would have meant there was no point in WINGSWORD, so your entire argument is rendered moot.

>>38230
Striker was too valuable to risk for the plan. Given that it gave Slattern a run for its money it was a good idea. Stacker couldn't have anticipated the acid, EMP or Otachi's tail. Holding Gipsy back was kind of a bad idea but both those kaiju were made to break the THREE active Jaegers. The only reason Gipsy cleaned house was because the Masters thought it was gone.

Slattern and his groupies probably would have torn through the other two anyways.

>>38234
Is that supposed to be Otachi

>>38222
>>38223
FUCK YEAAAR VOTOMS PUNCH

The only thing that would have made me fanboy squee even harder is if a Jaegar slowly rose out of the sea doing The Pose.

>>38236
Well Gipsy Danger does do the Gigantor pose

>>38237
Oh man, I squeed at that part too. It was a mecha reference buffet.

>>38238
It was great. I loved seeing my friends' reaction. They went wide eyed at Striker's introduction in Sydney. I thought it was goddamn hilarious.

I'd definitely vote for politicians who are pro giant robot. Pentacost was the hero earth deserved.

>>38239
>I'd definitely vote for politicians who are pro giant robot

I highly disagree with you, sir. Pro-Jaegerism is a blight, those damnable machines suck on precious taxpayer dollars that could be better emplyed to move this world's human population into highly concentrated areas around the pacifc ocean. That would be the safest response to the Kaiju problem.

And why do whe puny earthlings call it a "problem" to begin with? How dare we? Ask yourself, why do I support the PPDC which only impose their jaeger-privilege onto the innocent Kaiju masses? Is trans-dimensional specism the newest form of bigotry?

This man is a fake! I bet his hat comes right off.

Damn that wall was a retarded idea.

>>38242

sage for doble posting.

>>38243
Even if the wall had worked as hoped and stopped the kaiju onslaught... imagine what it would have meant for the world.

No more commercial trans-pacific travel, so going from USA to Australia or East Asia would have taken days, not hours. Shipping via sea or by air across the pacific would have been forbidden. Entire fishing and whaling industries destroyed. Deep sea research stymied since they can't reach the deepest part of the world's oceans. Only military surveillance drones would have been allowed to enter.

I assume all that was still allowed before the wall, because we saw that fishing boat at the beginning of the film.

>>38245
It's pretty much handing the ocean over to them

Perhaps if the walls launched missiles.

I'm honestly not sure how they thought the walls would work, period. Were the outer hulls made of pure titanium or something? And the inner hulls just held up the outer ones?

It did take the one Kaiju an hour to break through in Sydney, so they had *some* sort of plan, it just wasn't strong enough.

The only way it would have worked is if they had lined the inner part of the wall with Megaman spikes.

Of course, if the wall had worked it still wouldn't have worked because Otachi could just fly over it. They would have to build a ceiling too.

Well, looking through Travis Beacham's tumblr,
it seems there's a comic series confirmed.

Which is fucking great news.

There's already rumours as to what artists might be involved.

It was implied in the movie that the Wall was just smoke and mirrors, to give the masses a false sense of security while the rich and powerful were relocated to "safe" places inland. Those politicians Pentecost talked to early in the movie were traitors to the human race, at that point that had already forsaken everybody and were just lokking to save their own hides.

>>38251
Yeah. It's not farfetched to believe that some politicians would think that's a good idea. Imagine how much money that cost, how many lives it took.

They still thought it worked after Sydney. Now it might work in tandem with Jaegers.

>>38220
Oh god. I both want this to be discussed and kind of dread the answer at the same time.

Pacific Rim Theme "Epic Rock" …

You know, I'd like to see more of Hannibal's posse, those guys looked both hilarious and cool (i'd totally waifu the bald chinese girl). Damn, why didn't occure to me to check on the credits of they were named

So, according to BOM, PacRim's at a $224Mil worldwide!

Any word on how its doing in Asia specifically?

>>38279


Go to BOM and click on "foreign" on the lifetime grosses chart, and you will see the available numbers for each country.

Russia, Worst Korea and Mexico so far are the nations that do dig giant robots the most.

>>38281
It opens in China tomorrow and in Japan on August 9. It's expected to make mad buck in both these markets, but in China it's up against Fast & Furious 6 and White House Down (SARFT, the Chinese movie poobahs, likes to bunch Hollywood blockbusters together so that they eat each others' box office and give local movies space to breathe, a tactic that seems to be working). However, China has a track record of giving marginalised movies a second wind (like After Earth...for some unfathomable reason), and the Chinese seriously love big, loud, city-destroying spectacle, especially if there's giant robots involved. If there's any movie that's practically custom-built for the Chinese market, it's this one.

>>38283
... Wait, White house Down is a blockbuster? I thought that flick flopped hard

>>38281
>Mexico
Though you could say its also supporting their Nationals?
I know Mexican talent in hollywood is a huge sale over here.

>>38284
White House Down was another movie that got a "second wind" in China, on account of having lots of explosions.

>>38266

>think "damn thats quite the Rage Agains the Machine rippof you got there" a couple of times

China...we've had our differences.

But thank you.
