This is an important step for them, dusting off nobodies like Gabara or Titanosaurus that haven't seen action since long before most of us were born. And the whole thing looks a good bit more entertaining than the MP Trilogy, which is welcome.
Besides, designs are a distant second to good plots.

What reason would Toho have to make a finned aquatic reptile with red skin, yellow fins, and a beige underside, only to have it not be Titanosaurus?Vakanai wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 12:50 amDisagree - there was some kind of legless aquatic creature some of the fandom believe must be Titanosaurus.

Re: Pacific Rim (the big general thread)
Original monster, Godzilla's first evolutionary stage, who knows? What reason would they have to use Titanosaur but hack off his legs and arms, change him from dinosaur to fish, change his basic shape and outline, etc?Cryptid_Liker wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 7:05 amWhat reason would Toho have to make a finned aquatic reptile with red skin, yellow fins, and a beige underside, only to have it not be Titanosaurus?

If Jet Jaguar and Rodan are anything to go by, Toho is particularly stupid with designs these days.Vakanai wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 3:44 pmOriginal monster, Godzilla's first evolutionary stage, who knows?

You can't say this when Jet Jaguar's design exists.

Re: Pacific Rim (the big general thread)
Yes, yes I can - Jet Jaguar's design looks like Jet Jaguar. He's got stubby legs, somewhat odd proportions, but everything is there. That fish doesn't have the things that make Titanosaurus outside of the environment and coloration.
Added in 1 minute 39 seconds:
They still have the basics however - that fish monster doesn't have the basics in the design.Kaiju-King42 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 4:53 pmIf Jet Jaguar and Rodan are anything to go by, Toho is particularly stupid with designs these days.Vakanai wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 3:44 pmOriginal monster, Godzilla's first evolutionary stage, who knows?

Somewhat odd legs or, straight up land of misfit toys legs to body ratio.

Watched a couple series of Gundam too lol. Still doesn't make this "The Black" feel any less like a parody of the source.NSZ wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 12:58 pmKaiju-King42 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 12:38 pm Everything looks like skreeonking Evangelion to you people.

Re: Pacific Rim (the big general thread)
Guys, it's pretty good. Feels like the somewhat smaller scale sequel Uprising should've been in the absence of del Toro's grandeur. I wish there were 7 more episodes to dig into because the first season does a great job setting things up and introducing new concepts - in ways far smarter than Uprising ever did, arguably making some of Uprising's events/ideas a tad more bearable, even. Mileage may vary but as a 'take' on the Pac Rim franchise it's as different from Uprising as Uprising was to del Toro's film, but in a good way. I hope people give it a chance.

Re: Pacific Rim (the big general thread)
This series tone is PR Original but it's content is Uprising. Honestly love it. Hopefully it can stretch and get some more flushed out plots

Re: Pacific Rim (the big general thread)
I was being hopefully optimistic with this like I am with most things (Uprising included). I am glad it paid off this time, really enjoyed the story, the characters, the concepts introduced and look forward to the next season.

Some ass jockey decided to not crop dust the crowd, dude let off some straight napalm and cleared a 20 ft radius and didn’t flinch, he just moved up closer. I prayed Sandra wouldn’t catch a whiff, talk about Endgame....just gross.

Re: Pacific Rim (the big general thread)
On the first episode and I'm digging the fact that this actually feels like it has heart. Definitely proving me wrong atm.
