I wouldn't mind if the jaegers moved faster. But they should have did what Striker Eureka did. Still make it really sound that the gears and machine inside are struggling to make such a heavy hunk of steel move at such high speed.
@@lezanoloserio7944yep. That's what they really missed in the sequel: mechanical aspects. In PR 2013, we could see clearly how the pistons and hydraulics work and connected to each other. Jaeger in the sequel... Just moves. That's it.
Guillermo del Toro was super specific in the first launch of the Jaeger because he had the idea of "show it once, in detail, and the audience will get it every time after". We only saw the intricate launch at the start, and never after because we were introduced to it early. Another thing is that the Jaegers tried to LIMIT damage to the city and infrastructure. In Uprising they actively destroyed buildings and roads without consideration.
I should also note that he forbade any inspiration from existing media in the design of Jaegers and Kaiju. He wanted all designs to be original concepts from the designers to really solidify their uniqueness. EVERY Jaeger and Kaiju is of an original design.
A Japanese kids show did the destruction bit better. In Ultraman Mebius’s first fight, protecting the city isn’t really on his list of priorities, and he gets called out on it.
If i remember correctly, the director of this film said his problem with the first one was the bots moved too slow and felt borrong at times. So yeah the director of this one literally did not understand what made the first one so special at all. And movements is not the only department where this is evident
BUt he's right. I mena its not boring but damn do they move slow. They don't need to move slow to show weight. Thats not how you show it. Large things movcing fast is perfectly fine when you show it correct. Indeed there lot os of scenes in the first film where the robots move FAST. Certainly as fast as they do in this film. Its just the way its framed ands shown. Thats first charging jump Gypsey Danger does against the Leatherback is really damned fast. What make it looks look wegiht is ALL in the impacts. The robots moving fast in teh new movie is fine. I mean its better than fine. Wher eit actually lacks is the attacks sometimes (not all) lack that weight or impact. Othe rtimes they have it. This is really just a case (like most fiulm things) of folk being told somethign and then thinking and repeating it without actually comparing or rewatchign both films. Like the complaints abotu the sequel star wars films breakign canon when they don't, they actually stick to canon established in the original movies, kinda boringly religiously actually. Stop repeating what youtuber tell you and make up your own mind. Ha sorry its like folk say jurassic Parks CGI holds up now haha. Have you all watched again recently?

@@kudosbudo the problem's not the CGI, as you already know it's how they have no weight most of the time. Plus the movies lacks build-up and tells, not show. It's not a bad movie by standard but it's really lacking as a pacific rim movie.

Props to this guy for filming, hiring a cast, animating for all the clips shown in this video just to make a video on how franchises can be ruined by a bad sequal
Remember this movie coming out back in middle school and was excited for it. Now that I’m in college looking back on it can definitely see why this movie was received poorly. I really think they should’ve made pacific rim the black a movie instead of uprising ngl. Show had a much more interesting concept
Personally my favorite part of any zombie movie/show is in the beginning where you see normal life slowly collapse. I think witnessing that in the Pacific Rim universe would truly be something special...
Nah, putting kids into giant robots is the staple of the Genre. From Gundam to Neon Genesis Evangelion. Pacific Rim is heavily inspired by NGE anyways so it's not exactly goofy and I can see stories that work here. I dunno...new generation of Jaeger pilots specifically engineered and raised to be drift compatible for example.
@@PositiveBlackSoulthat sounds like a good idea but personally imo having military grade pilots would be much better, because between film 1 and 2 they had YEARS to train basically a small army of drift compatible pilots but they resorted to training kids? Also who's parents would sign them up for that XD unless they were literally born into it
One thing I would also want to mention is the lighting. Pacific Rim lighting give a really strong military and war vibes. Uprising lighting on the other hands give a vibes of series like Tobot
A little detail i love in the fiest film is u can see that the pilots do the best not to destroy the city if they can help it, when gypsy was look for the secons flying kaiju the pilots step over the bridge, in the sevond film they bust through building and pull building into the monster carelessly.
At the same time, gypsy was piloted by adults, Raleigh himself having experience with construction and knowing how hard it is to make these buildings. It was mostly piloted by children and a man child in the film that shall not be named. Of course they would destroy buildings needlessly.
This video was really good, I've always wondered how a bad version of Pacific Rim would be if there was, thank god this is just hypothetical and there isn't
Another thing is the pilot suits. Before each one was unique and gave a unique feel that matches the jaeger. In uprising they all have the same armour which looks like some cheap foam on a crappy black undershirt and pants
@@Demolisher-40-556 incorrect, the Jaegars were characters unto themselves. STRIKER's pilots could not overlay their personality onto CHERNO no matter how many times you reply to this reply.
@@Demolisher-40-556 The jaegars had different limitations and strengths leading to each having their own fighting style that the pilots of the other jaegars would not be able to repliicate thus the jaegars have character
I saw this once and never again, hadn't even thought of it for years till I saw your vid. Kinda glad I did, it reminded me of how good Pacific Rim is, I wanna see Gipsy swinging that ship to the Kaiju again. Gods, what an amazing movie.
@@CheekiTikiwell GvK is practically a meme movie, it breaks down to a monke fighting lizard, you can't take it seriously and have mindless fun (except for the shin, OG godzilla and the minus 1). But this "movie" is mindless minus the fun.
@@johnmikezstaca4307 I think purely from an action standpoint, these two movies are pretty similar and make a lot of the same mistakes. The only thing that puts GvK above Uprising in my mind, is that the GxK's human characters aren't as terrible as Uprising's.
It’s like when they made Pacific Rim 2 who ever was in charge just tore up the script from the first one and threw it and the movie in the trash. It really sucks how they killed this franchise by not waiting for the original director!?
@@Zirah58 no they didn't. Guillermo was up for a sequel but it was pushed back for awhile. By the time it was made available due to Wanda buying legendary, Guillermo was already busy with shape of water, he was offered a choice. Either wait 1 more year to direct uprising or make shape of water. He picked the latter since he was tired of waiting.
Imagine if someday they're announcing a new one simply named Pacific Rim 2, to serve as direct sequel to the first while completely disregarding uprising
It's fascinating to see you make a whole video on what's essentially just a black screen. I can't even remember what the actual topic was beyond 'Pacific Rim'. Is it a fanfiction or something?
This movie is so had that when pacific rim came to netflix this month I've rewatched it 20 times already, and it literally never gets old with how good it is. I'm trying to rewatch it as many times as I can before it leaves this month, that's how good the first movie is.
I remember my former best friend being really into Pacific Rim. He was so excited for this movie, when he finished watching it, he said it was "pretty good", but wouldn't talk about it passed that. I thought this was strange since he wouldn't stop talking about the first one, but stopped altogether with after this movie. Even going so far as to talk me out of watching it, which I did anyway. To be clear, this dude also creamed himself when Anthem came out and convinced me to buy it. Don't listen to cumsumers, they just like a concept, buy in, then never admit when something is bad or just clearly a scam. Thank you for coming to my TeD Talk.
Axe cop was amazing. The whimsical nature of its stories proved that executed well, you don't even need to have a very mature or realistic story to have fun.
Axe cop was amazing. The whimsical nature of its stories proved that executed well, you don't even need to have a very mature or realistic story to have fun.
Its just wild thinking Im a big gundam fan And comparing the size these jaegers easily eclipse even 115m tall mobile armors in gundam by almost double or triple And those mobile armors simply either stayed still shooting beams or zipped around like a gigantic spaceship The fact that the jaegers were slow emphasized the extreme price of speed that it had to pay for mobility So seeing the new jaegers part of me wants to believe the advancement of tech helped but knowing that it wasnt long between the two movies and the amount of jaegers produced, as well as *OVER 4 FREAKING GENERATIONS OF JAEGERS HOLY MOLY* detracted from this Also yeah i agree making Amara *that* overpowered really didnt leave her with much to grow as a character, and Jake really couldve done with either a callback to his thug life or better development You’e right Ima go give timmy a spankin for this bs
The budget of this video is nuts. I have to applaud the effort you put just to show us CGI clips of a movie that doesnt exists no wonder they didnt make the movie. I cant comprehend the budget making those shots
Can we mention how they disgraced gypsies design. It used to look humanoid yet gargantuan, but this one is too human and thin. I doubt they can hide a sword, gears, and anything else to make it work in there. It hardly looks like the first one.
just found you, holy shit the quality of this channel is masterful. And the rate of uploads is damn fast for this quality, you blowin up my man I swear it.
In defense of Amara building a Jaeger (specifically that part) she didn't design it, nor did she make up the science. In the prequel comic that was released up until Uprising did, it was going over Amara and her story. Long story short, orphan girl adopted by genius scientist that made an AI dog and was building a Jaeger to fight off the mob. Scientist, dog, and third lady all die, leaving Amara alone. She takes the plans the scientist left and rebuilt the Jaeger after it was destroyed out of SCRAP. A normal Jaeger is made out of things like armored steel or other such durable metals, aside from some more high tech parts, Scrapper is just...a bunch of scrap strapped together. I believe the comic also said that she was taught by the Scientist a bit, hence why she was able to read it, but it's been so long I can't remember. Obviously that doesn't help because the MOVIE doesn't say that, or give much more of her story other than an offhanded remark, but hey, most people aren't aware of the comic so I figured I'd bring it up.
The film needing a whole prequel comic to Justify a character existence is a proof that they didn't do a good job when creating her. And I don't think that her not designing the mech makes building one any less impressive (or absurd from the POV of what is known from the first movie)
@@KaoKacique I feel like a lot of the absurdness goes away, when one realizes that the in setting Jeager tech would be far more mature. Think of it like how a tech used to be only something rich people can have, but now even poor people can own it. For example computers, plane flights ect. Basically it would be impossible to do what she did in the first movie where the tech is new and cutting edge, but in the same way your smartwatch has more processing powers than what it took to get people to the moon, now Junkyard e waste is more cutting edge than first gen Jeagers. And frankly if was not a very good jeager. Second the person is a main character and main characters tend to be extraordinary, if they were normal, they would not be the main character instead of someone else. Third, movie has limited time to show stuff, showing the build up in the comics may take away from the robot punching action.
Another small thing that showed the scale was in the first fight. The way Gypsy Danger's spotlights were reflecting off knife head, and how it literally highlighted where they were looking was amazing. These massive spotlights that could completely flood a fishing boat only revealed a little bit of the Kaiju. Each Jaegar needed multiple spotlights, and when the emp hit frying one the whole area got darker. Loved it! These lighting effects were almost completely lost in Uprising, and it was noticable.
The best thing about the pacific rim fandom is that every day of their life, they wake up, have a great day, and never even think about this being something that was in theaters for the entire it was out.
I'll be honest, I laughed when Mako died. Not because I hate her (I love her character), but because she dies in such a funny way. The jaeger MISSES HER by a few centimetres and she dies.
I could have pooped out a better story than this. It's tragic, too! I actually loved the Gipsy Avenger design. The other Jaegers were pretty decent, too. Something I feel should have been referenced to more was the Kaiju war. Gipsy Danger's arm was still at the bottom of the ocean near the Breach after Raiju tore it off. Why not have a museum that shows artifacts of the last war, such as the two pieces of that arm and parts of the other Jaegers that fell to protect humanity? Hell, why not replicate Crimson Typhoon's head and put the entire thing in that museum!? It's a major part of the universe, yet it gets completely glossed over in order to please the new generation. And you are so right about the movement speed! When even Stryker Eureka, the fastest Jaeger in the first movie, moved, you could genuinely *feel* the weight behind it. It took time to start even the fastest movements because that's how physics work. These robots weigh thousands of tons, and they should move like it. It doesn't matter how fast your servos or hydraulics are. Larger objects will always appear to move and start moving slower to a normal person. You also don't get to see any of the components of the bots moving, either. With the first movie, it genuinely felt like the pilots were controlling giant machines, and this was backed up by components being exposed when they took serious damage. With Uprising, "serious damage," was a small hole in the face. The only time a Jaeger took a lot of damage was when they were being destroyed beyond repair. The first movie was also smart by having the fights be in dark areas to cover up any design flaws in the CGI with the Jaegers. You don't get that kind of smart thinking in Uprising. All fights are in daylight, and you can tell the Jaegers are CGI because of it.
One thing that stuck out to me from this vid was something about Amara's big sin of telling us all about how cool the Jaegers are instead of showing, something that, when you think about it, makes it even more vapid. From a story perspective, every Jaeger she gushes over doesn't earn it. ALL were built well after the last Jaegers to actually fight a Kaiju exploded at the bottom of the ocean several years previously. So what the hell have any of them been doing to earn such a glowing reputation, and why the hell aren't we watching that movie? If it wasn't some Jaeger vs. Jaeger event in the past that earned their stripes in the characters' minds, then the only answer is it's just a case of her liking them because she thinks they look cool - which is hard to believe when all look so generic. What would I have done for a sequel? How about exploring the ramifications of Jaegers existing in a post Kaiju world? With no more unifying enemy to fight, would it be a sort of cold-war with giant robots instead of nukes? What if Obsidian Fury's purpose was to tip the balance and spark off the final mecha thunderdome instead of... whatever the F uprising was doing. Uprising was way too bright and filled with Power Rangers flips (hell, the Power Rangers film actually did a better Jaeger than Uprising). Pacific Rim isn't Marvel - it's dark and gritty with a side of cheese.
So glad to see this pop up on my feed. This was an excellent breakdown of great point with the kind of sarcasm that I love. (Bonus points for Mr. Bean.) I'm looking forward to watching your channel grow.
Unironically speaking, I like how it's pretty clear that the ones that brought up Uprising aren't really Pacific Rim fans because the fans have all collectively decided that it doesn't exist.
I have a vivid memory of 14 year old me crying out of dissapointment after seeing this film on theaters, and my mom surprising me with a Neca Striker Eureka just to make me feel better. I still hold that figure close to my heart even after all this time
I personally really love uprising. I love the jaegers and their designs, i like the fight scenes, i like the story. And i actually like that the jaegers move faster than they do in the first movie, it makes the fights a lot cooler in my opinion. And it kinda makes sense too, i mean, there are like 10 years between what happened in the first movie and uprising, so obviously the technology is gonna be a lot better. And i dont care that its not realistic, like, its a movie about giant mechs killing giant monsters that are basically created by aliens, it dont need to be realistic. Also another reason why i think uprising is great is just 2 words: OBSIDIAN FURY🐐
Excellent video. I remember how much hype I got when I heard the music thematically fit the nation of the Jaeger (Chinese, Soviet) God its been so long ago
5:00 wanna know something? a lovely fanfic I read, had this happen. it was just after the breach. turned out, cherno alpha's pilots lived (they changed the story a little). and as such, they wanted cherno repaired. so. mako pulled in some favours, along with Chow to rebuilt cherno.
I watched "Pacific Rim 2" just recently and - although not even close to the original - I actually had a good time watching it. Now you make me look silly, with this video!
Tbh the fights that I loved more than the first movie are the obsidian fury fights. They showed weight and size while still showing how much jaeger tech has improved. Especially when gipsy threw that helipad at fury. The story was mid but the fights and effects were way better than I expected.
we all saw the red flag that when a sequel come out and the director from the first movie it not making the movie you know it a big red flag like soon I heard that guillermo del toro was director I immediate knew the movie going suck especially the lead role Charlie Hunnam wasn't coming back, that when I knew this shit going suck and if you watch any of the trailer, you can tell it was bad by most of the trailer they was used toys, mean they was try used this movie to sell toys and they also killed Mako in the dumb way do, this movie shouldn't be made
The jaegers in uprising should have been treated like an insurance policy in case the kaiju somehow returnedHumanity continued development of jaeger tech, made bigger and more badass mechs. Instead of the toys they became. Sure "illegal" and rogue jeagers could have been a thing and an issue that was a distraction and then boom, big kaiju pops up a d now the jaeger corps is scrambling to get to work
great concept of what a sequel to pacific rim but doing everything wrong would look like, its a shame still we didn't get a sequel, it would have so much potential to become a franchise
To this day I have never seen this movie and I have never once regretted it.

Pacific Rim 2 was a great high school film class side project!
Jimmy is a freaking genius....... 😅😂
Was* it never came out.
It was one of the harbingers of the modern sequel making trend of making a shitty sequel with a bunch of diverse teenagers as the main characters.
Props to this guy for filming, hiring a cast, animating for all the clips shown in this video just to make a video on how franchises can be ruined by a bad sequal
Hm.....*raises Treason report button*
Remember this movie coming out back in middle school and was excited for it. Now that I’m in college looking back on it can definitely see why this movie was received poorly. I really think they should’ve made pacific rim the black a movie instead of uprising ngl. Show had a much more interesting concept
Agreed. I also wish they made a "Pacific Rim: Origins" movie of how it all started & the beginning of the jaeger program.
Personally my favorite part of any zombie movie/show is in the beginning where you see normal life slowly collapse. I think witnessing that in the Pacific Rim universe would truly be something special...
@@FilmJunk1e I think the first season of pacific rim the black actually captured that pretty ok for the most part.
@@Danilio.That sound really good
I don’t think the black can be a movie, it has too many concepts to put in a 2-3 hour movie
casting a KIDS control these bigass heavy robots is just as goofy as it can get.
Nah, putting kids into giant robots is the staple of the Genre.
From Gundam to Neon Genesis Evangelion. Pacific Rim is heavily inspired by NGE anyways so it's not exactly goofy and I can see stories that work here.
I dunno...new generation of Jaeger pilots specifically engineered and raised to be drift compatible for example.
@@PositiveBlackSoulthat sounds like a good idea but personally imo having military grade pilots would be much better, because between film 1 and 2 they had YEARS to train basically a small army of drift compatible pilots but they resorted to training kids? Also who's parents would sign them up for that XD unless they were literally born into it
@@PositiveBlackSoul i mean for the first movie we got, the sequel idea for that was meh
@@KingSpades exactly
u shud watch neon genesis
One thing I would also want to mention is the lighting. Pacific Rim lighting give a really strong military and war vibes. Uprising lighting on the other hands give a vibes of series like Tobot
I made a video on that show.
Except the difference is that a fully animated show on a low budget can get away with it but not a billion dollar movie.
A little detail i love in the fiest film is u can see that the pilots do the best not to destroy the city if they can help it, when gypsy was look for the secons flying kaiju the pilots step over the bridge, in the sevond film they bust through building and pull building into the monster carelessly.
At the same time, gypsy was piloted by adults, Raleigh himself having experience with construction and knowing how hard it is to make these buildings. It was mostly piloted by children and a man child in the film that shall not be named. Of course they would destroy buildings needlessly.
Worst trait in this movie: no more walking robot in water 😢

This video was really good, I've always wondered how a bad version of Pacific Rim would be if there was, thank god this is just hypothetical and there isn't
Another thing is the pilot suits. Before each one was unique and gave a unique feel that matches the jaeger. In uprising they all have the same armour which looks like some cheap foam on a crappy black undershirt and pants
the worst thing is that the jaegars originally had personalities like striker being a dirty boxer and that was just ignored
It's the pilots who give the jaegers their personalities
@@Demolisher-40-556 incorrect, the Jaegars were characters unto themselves. STRIKER's pilots could not overlay their personality onto CHERNO no matter how many times you reply to this reply.
@serravokhellfire4379 The jaegers were not charecters dude. you're the one that's incorrect
@serravokhellfire4379 The real characters were the pilots, lol I think it's very obvious
@@Demolisher-40-556 The jaegars had different limitations and strengths leading to each having their own fighting style that the pilots of the other jaegars would not be able to repliicate thus the jaegars have character
So sad they never made a sequel to Pacific Rim it was such a good movie
Why is everyone denying this one. It really is not as bad as people say it is
@@jw_gojifan19It isn't real, dude. And if it was, it sounds just as bad as it sounds like it does.
@@jw_gojifan19 on its own, its bad enough, but then it also proceeds to drag down the 1st movie with it

I saw this once and never again, hadn't even thought of it for years till I saw your vid. Kinda glad I did, it reminded me of how good Pacific Rim is, I wanna see Gipsy swinging that ship to the Kaiju again. Gods, what an amazing movie.
The tell don't show was painful enough but losing out on that sense of scale and weight behind everything is what did it for me
The new Godzilla x Kong movie does this too. Why???
@@CheekiTiki search up "godzilla dropkick" and you'll figure out why
@@CheekiTikiwell GvK is practically a meme movie, it breaks down to a monke fighting lizard, you can't take it seriously and have mindless fun (except for the shin, OG godzilla and the minus 1).
But this "movie" is mindless minus the fun.
@@johnmikezstaca4307 I think purely from an action standpoint, these two movies are pretty similar and make a lot of the same mistakes. The only thing that puts GvK above Uprising in my mind, is that the GxK's human characters aren't as terrible as Uprising's.
my god this was spot fucking on. they killed what could have been a legendary series.
when they started to DELIBERATEDLY use all the buildings to destroy the kaiju that's when i realize the move is ASS.
It’s like when they made Pacific Rim 2 who ever was in charge just tore up the script from the first one and threw it and the movie in the trash. It really sucks how they killed this franchise by not waiting for the original director!?
So stupid
Guillermo was waiting for the studio, and when the studio was ready but Guillermo wasn't, they said "fuck u" and "fuck the audience".
@@Zirah58 yeah you’re right. It’s very unfortunate.
@@Zirah58 no they didn't. Guillermo was up for a sequel but it was pushed back for awhile. By the time it was made available due to Wanda buying legendary, Guillermo was already busy with shape of water, he was offered a choice. Either wait 1 more year to direct uprising or make shape of water. He picked the latter since he was tired of waiting.
Avengers design is the best
Imagine if someday they're announcing a new one simply named Pacific Rim 2, to serve as direct sequel to the first while completely disregarding uprising
It's fascinating to see you make a whole video on what's essentially just a black screen. I can't even remember what the actual topic was beyond 'Pacific Rim'. Is it a fanfiction or something?
6:20 I loved this about the movie, the Jaegers always felt like a collective effort with everyone contributing to every step they took.
This movie is so had that when pacific rim came to netflix this month I've rewatched it 20 times already, and it literally never gets old with how good it is. I'm trying to rewatch it as many times as I can before it leaves this month, that's how good the first movie is.
Wait, Its back on Netflix?!
@@jasperscheerlinck8170 yup till the end of the month
While it's technically right, it's still weird to see the only film in the franchise referred to as "the first".
The first one sucked too. Pacific Rim is a bad franchise.
@@TeeAiDee I respect your opinion, but I'd disagree, Pacific Rim was a good movie in my opinion.
3:28 😂 OMG this is my exact reaction to this movie, and then it goes a step further and for some reason the tiny hunter turns into a droideca.
I remember my former best friend being really into Pacific Rim. He was so excited for this movie, when he finished watching it, he said it was "pretty good", but wouldn't talk about it passed that. I thought this was strange since he wouldn't stop talking about the first one, but stopped altogether with after this movie. Even going so far as to talk me out of watching it, which I did anyway. To be clear, this dude also creamed himself when Anthem came out and convinced me to buy it. Don't listen to cumsumers, they just like a concept, buy in, then never admit when something is bad or just clearly a scam.

Its just wild thinking
Im a big gundam fan
And comparing the size these jaegers easily eclipse even 115m tall mobile armors in gundam by almost double or triple
And those mobile armors simply either stayed still shooting beams or zipped around like a gigantic spaceship
The fact that the jaegers were slow emphasized the extreme price of speed that it had to pay for mobility
So seeing the new jaegers part of me wants to believe the advancement of tech helped but knowing that it wasnt long between the two movies and the amount of jaegers produced, as well as *OVER 4 FREAKING GENERATIONS OF JAEGERS HOLY MOLY* detracted from this
Also yeah i agree making Amara *that* overpowered really didnt leave her with much to grow as a character, and Jake really couldve done with either a callback to his thug life or better development
You’e right
Ima go give timmy a spankin for this bs
Nice of you to cover a Pacific Rim fanfiction.
This show is made by kindergarteners for a homework assignment where the teacher still give it a "C-".
This channel is on its way to greatness proud to be here in the beginning
The budget of this video is nuts. I have to applaud the effort you put just to show us CGI clips of a movie that doesnt exists no wonder they didnt make the movie. I cant comprehend the budget making those shots
Can we mention how they disgraced gypsies design. It used to look humanoid yet gargantuan, but this one is too human and thin. I doubt they can hide a sword, gears, and anything else to make it work in there. It hardly looks like the first one.
Isn’t this AI generated or something? I don’t remember Pacific Rim getting a sequel
Nah it must be a fan made.
just found you, holy shit the quality of this channel is masterful. And the rate of uploads is damn fast for this quality, you blowin up my man I swear it.
I really appreciate both your comment and your profile pic lol have a good day man
In defense of Amara building a Jaeger (specifically that part) she didn't design it, nor did she make up the science. In the prequel comic that was released up until Uprising did, it was going over Amara and her story. Long story short, orphan girl adopted by genius scientist that made an AI dog and was building a Jaeger to fight off the mob. Scientist, dog, and third lady all die, leaving Amara alone. She takes the plans the scientist left and rebuilt the Jaeger after it was destroyed out of SCRAP. A normal Jaeger is made out of things like armored steel or other such durable metals, aside from some more high tech parts, Scrapper is just...a bunch of scrap strapped together. I believe the comic also said that she was taught by the Scientist a bit, hence why she was able to read it, but it's been so long I can't remember. Obviously that doesn't help because the MOVIE doesn't say that, or give much more of her story other than an offhanded remark, but hey, most people aren't aware of the comic so I figured I'd bring it up.
Wow I didn't even know this entire backstory existed. Wonder if they excluded it cause of budget/time constraints
@@FilmJunk1e who's to say really, the fact that they spent money on a prequel comic but didn't bother bringing it up is strange to say the least.
I mean I can just blame it on tech getting better with time. Generally things become cheaper with time.
The film needing a whole prequel comic to Justify a character existence is a proof that they didn't do a good job when creating her. And I don't think that her not designing the mech makes building one any less impressive (or absurd from the POV of what is known from the first movie)
@@KaoKacique I feel like a lot of the absurdness goes away, when one realizes that the in setting Jeager tech would be far more mature. Think of it like how a tech used to be only something rich people can have, but now even poor people can own it. For example computers, plane flights ect.
Basically it would be impossible to do what she did in the first movie where the tech is new and cutting edge, but in the same way your smartwatch has more processing powers than what it took to get people to the moon, now Junkyard e waste is more cutting edge than first gen Jeagers. And frankly if was not a very good jeager.
Second the person is a main character and main characters tend to be extraordinary, if they were normal, they would not be the main character instead of someone else.
Third, movie has limited time to show stuff, showing the build up in the comics may take away from the robot punching action.
to this day i still watch pacific rim 1. that is my kind of childhood dream movie
This is a great review of a fan fiction!
Another small thing that showed the scale was in the first fight. The way Gypsy Danger's spotlights were reflecting off knife head, and how it literally highlighted where they were looking was amazing. These massive spotlights that could completely flood a fishing boat only revealed a little bit of the Kaiju. Each Jaegar needed multiple spotlights, and when the emp hit frying one the whole area got darker. Loved it! These lighting effects were almost completely lost in Uprising, and it was noticable.
The best thing about the pacific rim fandom is that every day of their life, they wake up, have a great day, and never even think about this being something that was in theaters for the entire it was out.
My insane reaction to PR: Uprising
You did it, you did it, you did it, you did it, you did it! *YOU MURDERED MY MAKO!!!*
Reasons of why we both dislike this movie.
I'll be honest, I laughed when Mako died. Not because I hate her (I love her character), but because she dies in such a funny way.
The jaeger MISSES HER by a few centimetres and she dies.
@@gasterthemaster6490 its not even funny
Also, I skipped that fucking helicopter scene (this is my headcanon now)
@@gasterthemaster6490 so close.
She can’t die if the movie doesn’t exist
I could have pooped out a better story than this. It's tragic, too! I actually loved the Gipsy Avenger design. The other Jaegers were pretty decent, too. Something I feel should have been referenced to more was the Kaiju war. Gipsy Danger's arm was still at the bottom of the ocean near the Breach after Raiju tore it off. Why not have a museum that shows artifacts of the last war, such as the two pieces of that arm and parts of the other Jaegers that fell to protect humanity? Hell, why not replicate Crimson Typhoon's head and put the entire thing in that museum!? It's a major part of the universe, yet it gets completely glossed over in order to please the new generation.
And you are so right about the movement speed! When even Stryker Eureka, the fastest Jaeger in the first movie, moved, you could genuinely *feel* the weight behind it. It took time to start even the fastest movements because that's how physics work. These robots weigh thousands of tons, and they should move like it. It doesn't matter how fast your servos or hydraulics are. Larger objects will always appear to move and start moving slower to a normal person. You also don't get to see any of the components of the bots moving, either. With the first movie, it genuinely felt like the pilots were controlling giant machines, and this was backed up by components being exposed when they took serious damage. With Uprising, "serious damage," was a small hole in the face. The only time a Jaeger took a lot of damage was when they were being destroyed beyond repair. The first movie was also smart by having the fights be in dark areas to cover up any design flaws in the CGI with the Jaegers. You don't get that kind of smart thinking in Uprising. All fights are in daylight, and you can tell the Jaegers are CGI because of it.
i hate how high quality your videos are but how criminally underrated your channel is 😢😢😂
One thing that stuck out to me from this vid was something about Amara's big sin of telling us all about how cool the Jaegers are instead of showing, something that, when you think about it, makes it even more vapid.
From a story perspective, every Jaeger she gushes over doesn't earn it. ALL were built well after the last Jaegers to actually fight a Kaiju exploded at the bottom of the ocean several years previously. So what the hell have any of them been doing to earn such a glowing reputation, and why the hell aren't we watching that movie? If it wasn't some Jaeger vs. Jaeger event in the past that earned their stripes in the characters' minds, then the only answer is it's just a case of her liking them because she thinks they look cool - which is hard to believe when all look so generic.
What would I have done for a sequel? How about exploring the ramifications of Jaegers existing in a post Kaiju world? With no more unifying enemy to fight, would it be a sort of cold-war with giant robots instead of nukes? What if Obsidian Fury's purpose was to tip the balance and spark off the final mecha thunderdome instead of... whatever the F uprising was doing. Uprising was way too bright and filled with Power Rangers flips (hell, the Power Rangers film actually did a better Jaeger than Uprising). Pacific Rim isn't Marvel - it's dark and gritty with a side of cheese.
I remembered every single part of pacific rim. I remember nothing about pacific rim uprising
In Pacific Rim the pilots knew the combos and special moves, Uprising is just frantically pushing buttons.
So glad to see this pop up on my feed. This was an excellent breakdown of great point with the kind of sarcasm that I love. (Bonus points for Mr. Bean.) I'm looking forward to watching your channel grow.
real steel and pacific rim are the 2 movies i will ALWAYS love watching. i could watch it every day for a year and still love it
Unironically speaking, I like how it's pretty clear that the ones that brought up Uprising aren't really Pacific Rim fans because the fans have all collectively decided that it doesn't exist.
I like how he shows off this fan film and its flaws, good on him!

¨aye yo what are you looking at¨ called me out
Uprising? Never heard of it.
I personally really love uprising. I love the jaegers and their designs, i like the fight scenes, i like the story. And i actually like that the jaegers move faster than they do in the first movie, it makes the fights a lot cooler in my opinion. And it kinda makes sense too, i mean, there are like 10 years between what happened in the first movie and uprising, so obviously the technology is gonna be a lot better. And i dont care that its not realistic, like, its a movie about giant mechs killing giant monsters that are basically created by aliens, it dont need to be realistic.
Also another reason why i think uprising is great is just 2 words: OBSIDIAN FURY🐐
"Good thing there's not a sequel". The disappointment this man must've felt. You can feel it in the entire video 🤣

Sharpest decline in quality between the original and sequel in any franchise - Change my mind.
Tbh the fights that I loved more than the first movie are the obsidian fury fights. They showed weight and size while still showing how much jaeger tech has improved. Especially when gipsy threw that helipad at fury.
The story was mid but the fights and effects were way better than I expected.

we all saw the red flag that when a sequel come out and the director from the first movie it not making the movie you know it a big red flag like soon I heard that guillermo del toro was director I immediate knew the movie going suck especially the lead role Charlie Hunnam wasn't coming back, that when I knew this shit going suck and if you watch any of the trailer, you can tell it was bad by most of the trailer they was used toys, mean they was try used this movie to sell toys and they also killed Mako in the dumb way do, this movie shouldn't be made
The jaegers in uprising should have been treated like an insurance policy in case the kaiju somehow returnedHumanity continued development of jaeger tech, made bigger and more badass mechs. Instead of the toys they became. Sure "illegal" and rogue jeagers could have been a thing and an issue that was a distraction and then boom, big kaiju pops up a d now the jaeger corps is scrambling to get to work
