Unfortunately, Pacific Rim doesn't have the equivalent of Toho Studios sheparding it. or we'd already be in the weird-ass section with the spinoffs where a chibi version of the Jaegers are dancing in an oversized dancing ballroom with cutesified Kaiju girls.
I'm not saying I'd support that kind of bullshit. I'm just saying it would be a sign of a property with significant backing and expanded use, which would be healthy if mostly done right.
I think there was. being faced with immense danger for too long can make people do weird shit, like building a shanty town in a carcass gassing off Kaiju Blue like an active volcano.
Every time my partner and I lift something large together, my bestie loudly exclaims "They are drift compatible!" What a perfect addition to the language.
We are, it's just that everything after the first movie has steadily declined in quality. We are on our fifth installment (Hellraiser), not our fifth installment (Kamen Rider).
I remember seeing the trailer for the first time with G-Danger dragging the ship down the street and clubbering the kaiju with it. I was like OH HOLY SHIT I AM IN
The first viewing I didn't like it because the kaiju were so real they scared me. But when Grown-Ups 2 won the weekend I was like fuck that so I went again and loved it.

every supportive relationship MORE PLATONIC
… it may have been hormones and the scene of the little girl looking for her family in the midst of a battle.
Still a bit sad that we never got a prequel to see how damned cool those Chinese and Russian Jaegers were.
