    Here’s a cute behind the scenes story but Mana Ashida, who played young Mako could not pronounce Guillermo del Toro’s last name, so she asked if she could call him “Totoro-san,” as a reference to the titular character in Studio Ghibli's _"My Neighbor Totoro"._
    Funny enough in a Oscar interview following Del Toro’s win of his animated take on _Pinocchio,_ Del Toro mentioned he would love to live in the world of _My Neighbor Totoro_
    I highly recommend reacting to Guillermo Del Toro's other films such as _Hellboy 1-2, Pan's Labyrinth, The Devil's Backbone, Cronos, Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio_ and _The Shape of Water._ Especially the latter two films and _Pan's Labyrinth._

    One thing that i really like about this movie is the attention to detail that Del Toro put in the monsters: Before the scientist drifted with the Kaijuu brain, all the Kaijuu were based on water creatures, like fish and such, but after the scientist drifted with the Kaijuu brain, the first 2 kaijuu are a gorilla and a Pterodactyl, 2 animals that the aliens would have never seen if it wasn't for the 2-way Neural Bridge

    35:12 the reason why most jaegers aren't equipped with blades/why they waited so long to use their sword is because kaiju blood is extremely toxic. this is said at the very beginning when they talk about "kaiju blue", but it's pretty easy to miss. anyway most jaegers' primary weapons are things like rockets or plasma guns that will cauterize the wounds so the kaiju doesn't bleed, or they rely on blunt force to get the job done. blades are primarily used only as a last resort

    Pacific Rim is an instant classic. From the tried and true kaiju vs. giant mech suits tropes, the main theme that feels so iconic it should be from, like, the 80s, like it's been around forever, the way everything has WEIGHT, the way they introduced the concept of drift-compatibility that allowed for soul mates of all kind, not just romantic. It really is just a superb, fun movie.

    To Explain: Elba is compatible with everyone. Like he said he " brings nothing into the drift " so there's no trauma or memories his potential partner would need to battle through to make a connection. He also can read people like an open book so connecting with them back is easy. The drift was all about understanding their partner. The fights at the beginning/middle were a compatibility test to show that they could understand each other. The weren't looking for one person dominating the other, but an even match between both people.

    The fact they made the opening a tragic success? It helped set the tone differently then basically every super powered hero movie and its better for it
    So the reason why the Kaiju that came through seem so over powered in the gulf is because the aliens knes EXACTLY what they were fighting. They were built to be jeager killers. But Newt didnt know what gypsy danger was capable of and thats why they were able to get the upper hand on them
    To quote Mako, hes unpredictable.

    • @Ergand
      @Ergand 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      And with the hive mind, they've had plenty of experience against the Jaegers. There's a line about Striker fighting the most Kaiju despite being the newest, which would imply they were sending them after it on purpose, probably trying to get a good idea of its capabilities. Then once they have all three remaining Jaegers figured out, they send two Kaiju designed to counter them. Crush all their defenses at once and win.

  • @j.w.sraptorsquad982
    @j.w.sraptorsquad982 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +25

    The query of why Gypsy Danger, or most of the Jaegers for that matter, don't just charge in, full guns blazing with swords and plasma cannons all at once, can probably lie in the same reason every Jaeger has unique weapons and fighting styles (same with the Kaiju frankly); unpredictability. After all, the first statement after the title shot is 'The Kaiju are learning our defences...', which probably resulted in a more cautious/calculated fighting style where Jaegers try to play things closer to the chest, keeping certain weapons and abilities secret as long as possible so they can keep the Kaiju guessing for as long as they can. Which might explain why Gypsy Danger was able to bring down those two category 4's (who initially used unpredictability in there first attacks to great effect) where the other three Jaegers failed, not going for a head-on confrontation with Leatherback, instead aiming for the EMP organ on his back first, followed by using shipping crates as punching gloves, only then using the plasma cannon to finish the job. Likewise with Otachi, starting the fight with wielding a ship like a club, clamping onto and ripping out the acid sack in her throat while simultaneously freezing and shattering her tail, and only used the sword as a last resort, keeping both Kaiju off kilter throughout most of the fights.
    That reasoning is proven fairly justified with the discovery of the Kaiju hive mind, which means the creators of the Kaiju (officially called the Precursors) were able to see every single fight that every Kaiju took part in from the start, meaning they soon began learning how to tweak the designs of later Kaiju's to counteract, and overcome, the Jaegers various defences. This seems to best demonstrated in the fact that, because Newton drifted with that Kaiju brain fragment, the Precursors in turn, also received knowledge of the Jaegers and the plan to blow up the Breach, so Otachi and Leatherback were created specifically to bring down Jaegers with a more detailed understanding of their construction; Leatherback had an EMP organ on his back specifically to scramble the Jaegers electrics and shut them down, as well as what seems to be even greater physical strength, being able to overpower, pick up, and even throw Jaegers as if they were ragdolls, whereas Otachi was given a prehensile tail with grasping claws to clamp onto Jaeger heads, where the pilots are, and crush them, and thereby bring down the entire robot, acid corrosive enough to easily melt through even the armoured Cherno Alpha, the ability to fly and either pick up or outmanoeuvre her ground based opponents, and the intellect to use these weapons effectively, as well as panning ambush tactics. Following their defeat, the Precursors then set their next batch of Kaiju to instead protect the Breach from the bomb while they prepped the first Category 5 (named Slattern) in order to wipe them out quickly
    At least that's how I reason it out, I'll admit I could be wrong

    • @EChacon
      @EChacon 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      Not to mention when Newt tested himself by drifting his brain with a Kaiju brain, not only did he gain access on the process on the Kaiju’s origins, their Hivemind and their endgame plan, but unfortunately the Kaiju gained access to Newt’s brain cause Newt was the only one who knew the weaknesses of Crimson Typhoon, Cherno Alpha and Eureka Striker hence why the Precursors created Otachi and Leatherback to counteract and annihilate the two Jaegers (Crimson and Cherno) while Leatherback incapacitated and shutdown Eureka Striker (the fastest Jaeger) with the EMP.

      ​@@EChacon This also plays into how out of all of the, Gipsy Dangrr managed to kill the both of them due to 2 primary reasons.
      1. Gipsy was considered inoperable or atleast out of commission after the knifehead incident and as such Newt probably didn't know or either wasn't aware of Gipsy being deployed so when Newt drifted with a kaiju brain, they got all the knowledge of the 3 Yaegers but not Gipsy as the aliens themseoves probably thought it was "dead" years ago with knifehead. So when Gipsy arrived, the 2 kaijus literally faced against an opponent that was in their minds, prrtty much unknown.
      2. Gipsy Danger was pretty much the perfect counter to both Kaijus. Gipsy was tanky enough to withstand hits from Leatherback and its EMP was useless since Gipsy was powered by analog and a nuclear reactor, whilst simutaniously being agile enough to dodge the acid spray from Otachi and had a weapon that cleanly countered it.
      So when they proceded with the nuking, the precursors basically panicked with them sending out their strongest as they were essentially facing a powerful danger and an opponent they basically either forgot about or was compleletly in the dark about. God I fucking love this movie

    They didn't try to have a complex story, they just had two fantastic premises as a foundation:
    1. Robots fighting monsters hella cool.
    2. There will be absolutely no Lone Wolf Solo Action Heroes™; you have to mindmeld with your monster-fighting [romantic/platonic/familial] soulmate to kill monsters with the power of [love/family/camaraderie/excruciating familiarity].
    I love this movie and Mad Max Fury Road for the same reasons. The stories are simple, the characters are straightforward and consistent, the action is excitingly choreographed, the emotional moments are earned and given time to breathe but don't overwhelm the story, and the aesthetic is bold, vivid, and well-balanced. If you can nail those, you'll make a way better action movie than the quippy, superstar-littered stuff that most franchises grind out year after year.

    "That horn is looking real deadly" that was some serious unintentional foreshadowing, haha.
    Pacific Rim is one of my favorite movies of all time. People call it dumb and silly, but it's got quite a lot of emotional depth and tells a lot of its story more subtly than you'd think. Look at the way it uses colors especially. It's one of those gems that grows a very loyal and dedicated fandom. And the fact that they did not turn the heroes into a couple was something I appreciated a lot, it would have felt cheap somehow.
    Loved your reaction to Otachi's wings! That was me in the cinema. Idris Elba got to have the most epic motivational speech since Independence Day and I loved it.
    Fun fact: The AI voice saying "Would you like to try again?" is the same person who voiced GlaDOS from Portal. And you can hear it.
    Another fun fact: The fighting moves Raleigh used against Chuck in their little hallway brawl was a mix of his own and Mako's. Since they've just drifted, there was some transference.
    Also also: The first jaegers were not, in fact, built with a lot of care because they had to cobble them together in as little time as possible . Hence the lack of things like radiation shielding.
    Also also also: Plasma cannon was charging faster on the new Gypsy Danger because she got updated :D And Raleigh was leading for most of the fight against Otachi, so he didn't go for the sword because he didn't know about it, Mako didn't think of it because she was following his lead.
    Final fact: There is no second movie.

    This is low key one of my favorite movies. It’s not got the tightest script or the best acting or directing, but it’s just soooo much fun and has probably the best sense of scale in any movie ever made. You pointed it out yourself, there’s a real sense of mass and weight to the Kaiju and jaegers that no other film has ever quite managed as well. The thing about giant massive constructs/creatures is they have a HUGE amount of inertia to manage and overcome, so they appear to move slowly in human scale when they’re in fact moving incredibly fast.
    I had the privilege of seeing this movie in IMAX, and I literally left the theater after the movie and bought another ticket to see it again, it was such an experience. I ended up seeing it 4 times in IMAX and 3 times in regular theaters. So damn good. Lol

    This movie was really amazing. One of my favorite little details about this movie is that the voice for the AI on Gipsy Danger is performed by the same actress who played GLaDOS in the Portal games. Del Toro did an amazing job working with such a large-scale problem by focusing on the small-scale one-to-one personal relationships and connections of the characters as the real core of the movie. Without that, the movie would be hollow, but because we care about these characters, we care about the final victory. Oh, and I think it is a great touch that, even at the very end, when they're hugging out on the water, they don't kiss. It's not that kind of a connection. If anything, it is deeper.
    Also, I don't really care for the sequel. It just didn't live up to this one by a significant margin.

    There is one detail to note: When Raleigh says to Mako "he may be dead, but we'll check!" It's not just a punchline to make it "badass" and make this scene cool.
    This relates to Raleigh's trauma with the death of his brother.
    The two brothers were way too confident and disobeyed orders, they thought they had easily defeated the Kaiju "Knifehead", but it came back behind them.
    Their negligence led to the death of Raleigh's brother, a trauma that will accompany him for years, physically (his injury to his chest and arm, he tells Mako that his arm is still weak) but above all psychologically.
    Raleigh doesn't want to let past mistakes repeat themselves.
    It shows the evolution of the character, his taking responsibility, and how he overcomes his trauma.
    A simple scene, which shows how Del Toro's characters are worked and have real depth.
    THIS is the difference between a real blockbuster with depth and emotional beauty... And blockbusters that are empty and soulless.
    This is why Pacific Rim is one of the best blockbusters and a real treasure, a real joy for all those who have kept their childish soul.

    I have a few movies that I LOVE but not a lot of people seem to like, like San Andreas is also one of my fave movies & it doesnt seem to be super popular (also has at least 2 aussies lol)

    This movie was a love letter to old school mecha anime. The plot and several fights were from Evangelion, the full body attachment system was from Escaflowne, and much of the design and fighting styles were homages to Gundam. There was SO much love and attention paid to how this was made, and it really shows. ❤

    The reason they don’t use the sword as their default weapon is because, although it is incredibly effective, it also causes wounds that bleed. And Kaiju blood is incredibly toxic. That’s why they fight mainly using their fists, as blunt force is less likely to cause bleeding. Also, the plasma cannon cauterizes any wounds it creates, which helps prevent bleeding. And just a heads-up, but we don't talk about the "sequel", because it's just awful compared to this movie.

      I've seen the theory that the aliens didn't have time to perfect this specimen. They didn't want to wait any longer because of the black hole consuming their sun. Therefore, they took the first specimen they came across from the breeding ones. They didn't have enough time to clone a new pure specimen.
      The theory is interesting, but there are also flaws. At the very least, why was everyone else normal then?
      I have my own theory as to why this kaiju was pregnant. Maybe this species behaves better in combat in this state. Maybe it can spit acid just to protect itself and the baby. And after childbirth, this feature disappears.

So sad they robbed us of a great sequel directed by him.
