I need to throw out a small rant here: (spoilers apply for Pacific Rim and its 'sequel') Pacific Rim 2 started off it's tragic plot with killing off Mako, who was an amazingly done character in the first film. There was a massive amount of plot direction, and absolutely no reason for Stacker Pentecost to suddenly have a random son out of nowhere. It undermines his fatherly attachment to Mako entirely, and disrupts her characterization. Then, it went on to make a deeper plothole - Newton Geiszler became somehow mind-controlled by the kaiju hivemind, but Hermann Gottlieb was perfectly okay? When they _both_ had drifted with a kaiju brain? What sort of nonsense is that? It's inconsistent! It's stupid! If they were going to play by that, both Newton *and* Hermann should've been mindcontrolled. Even then, however - it is also clarified that drifting is only a 2-way connection _while the drift is happening,_ and the creators of the kaiju were literally nuked into oblivion. I sincerely doubt that there would've been such a sustained subtle control over Newton after a few flashes of images. Further.... With the breach closed, there would've been no reason whatsoever for the Jaeger Program to keep on going. To clarify some context - the entire start of Uprising was about jaegers in urban environments, but there was no purpose to building any more Jaegers, and the previous ones were all destroyed; The war was won - why keep fuelling a war effort?!? Especially when it's asserted that there are no more incoming funds for the Jaeger Program? A large third of the first movie revolved around Stacker Pentecost seeking out Raleigh _because_ they were tight on funds and couldn't really afford to make any more jaegers. So why did they *explicitly* make more between the first and second film? Correct me if I'm wrong, but no more kaiju breaches opened up until around midway through Pacific Rim 2, so it's absolutley inane that the world kept pooring resources _stupidly_ into producing more jaegers for no actual reason. It's basic economics and war politics to understand that sustaining a war effort is taxing on funds and resources, which the world would've needed for repairs and innovation. Finally - the kaiju motivation for attacking doesn't make much sense either. It was firmly established that the world was already mostly terraformed for the creators of the kaiju to live on Earth, and that the kaiju themselves were exterminators. They complicated a motive that was already set in stone. The things they did good? Kaiju-controlled jaegers were ingenious, and smaller jaegers. I still firmly believe that jaegers are supposed to be hulking, towering robots, but the idea of smaller jaegers is interesting. Imagine sniper jaegers! Wouldn't that be something? I believe that a sequel film to Pacific Rim 1 should've taken a more mysterious route. If the breaches re-opened, make them subtle or unexpected - such as Earth opening the breach out of curiosity to investigate, and unknowingly letting kaiju attack once again. Maybe have the creators of the kaiju directly interact with humans, for one reason or another. Focus on the kaiju heirarchy and how they function, as well as the Breach(es) itself, not on motives or the (at first) obsolete Jaegers. Why were the kaijus' creators seeking to travel to Earth? Why were they war-mongering? And that's been my long rant. I intended for it to be shorter, but it trailed into a ramble a bit. Have a grand day, random readers!
@@unamed2844 Newton drifted with a tiny piece of preserved Kaiju brain. Then, later, he and Herman drifted with a full brain together. It doesn't make sense for the smaller portion to cause Newt to become compromised, but the larger brain left Herman perfectly fine?
I think if they did make another pacific rim movie a prequel would work a lot better than the sequel we got. I’d love to see a movie about the creation of the first yagers. It’d be really cool to know more about the earlier pilots like stacker.

There's so much about the kaiju to learn and we've only scratched the surface

Does this song remind anyone else of Portal 2 from about 0:45? Or is it just me?
Definetly not just you.
ive never played portal but that part slaps
Does anyone noticed the chant in the background while Hannibal Chao was talking with Newt ? It was like a Monk Chant, but i can´t find it
This reminds me of subnautica.

newton drifted twice with a kaiju brain. herman only drifted once.
