Re: Pacific Rim (the big general thread)
Yes, the new kaiju designs and the new robot's color scheme look great. I'm open minded about this. Pacific Rim (which never recieved a sequel in my head-canon) is one of my favorite kaiju films. Setting it on an isolated island/continent (Australia) might give way to more creative license and narrative freedoms. The Black seems to be going for more of a post apocalyptic aesthetic for instance. I'm fine with that. My biggest want is more understanding and exploration of the precursors and their motives.

Re: Pacific Rim (the big general thread)
My biggest want is character development. Give us some emotion so we feel this series. Hopefully it's not just nonstop action and plot progression. This does have promise

Re: Pacific Rim (the big general thread)
I'm still "meeeh" on this entire thing honestly. All my hype went to Singular Point and Shin Ultraman.

Re: Pacific Rim (the big general thread)
Similar, but add Godzilla vs Kong and the Kong Skull Island anime to the list (and possibly the Cloverfield sequel if it really is a "true" sequel finally...). I loved the first Pac Rim film, but have not been able to force myself to watch the sequel after all those negative reviews, and so far this anime hasn't shown much promise of bringing me back. This just feels like a franchise that's lost its way after such a great start...
Still, I'd love to be wrong.
I unapologetically, wholeheartedly, and without a doubt hate Godzilla vs Kong.

I presume this is the final trailer. Copperhead looks really cool.

Re: Pacific Rim (the big general thread)
It looks.. okay i guess? The animation still isn't wowing me (not helped by the really stupid shiny lighting the monsters have) and the characters don't look to interesting either honestly.

Looks a lot better than Godzilla: Singular Point, to be perfectly honest.

Looks like a further degradation of the Pacific Rim mythos. Horrible.

Not saying much considering how bad that was.

Yep. 100%. I can't wait for the G:SP lovers to come in and try and say why Godzilla: Singular Point is so much better when the designs look like dime a dozen DA bad fanart.Kaiju-King42 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 9:59 am Looks a lot better than Godzilla: Singular Point, to be perfectly honest.

Re: Pacific Rim (the big general thread)
Even if the designs are iffy (and maybe we should wait to see them in action before we sneer too much?), I personally am just very glad to see Toho remembering that they have monsters that aren't the Big Five. 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.

Re: Pacific Rim (the big general thread)
I've seen no signs that they've dusted off Titanosaurus, but agreed it's cool to get a few monsters (and robots) outside of the usual suspects.JAGzilla wrote: ↑Sat Feb 27, 2021 11:03 pm Even if the designs are iffy (and maybe we should wait to see them in action before we sneer too much?), I personally am just very glad to see Toho remembering that they have monsters that aren't the Big Five.

Besides, designs are a distant second to good plots.

So early reviews for the Black are positive.
