Oh 100% for the worst. It would be horrible

REGARDING PACIFIC RIM: FINAL BREACH

If you didn���t know, Pacific Rim Uprising might be getting a part two!

Yes I am posting this everywhere, lol.

Analysis under the cut!

Yeah, yep. They’re asking for funding for it but it’s real.

Let’s break down the cover for a minute (courtesy of the newmann server :D).

THESE ARE ALL ASSUMPTIONS BASED ON THE COVER, NONE OF THIS IS SET IN STONE + WE DONT EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH OF THE STORY IS WRITTEN.

So the very first thing you’ll notice is Jake, Raleigh, and Newt on the cover.

I’m assuming that they’re capitalising on the fact that Hunnam doesn’t actually have to be there to add him to the story (he was busy with something else when PRU was being filmed which is why he wasn’t in PRU).

So already we know this is going to be a deviation from the original PRU:2 (PR3, but we all know it’s PRU:2). Now is this a good thing? Well… who knows. We know almost nothing, but if he’s going to be piloting a Jaeger like the cover suggests through him wearing a pilot suit either he’s going to be piloting with Jake or Mako, meaning they might be reviving her. Otherwise he could be with Nate or Amara but that just seems like it would have less narrative significance. It would be funny if both Raleigh and Mako got revived haha, like a ghost Jaeger lol. ANYWAY, MOVING ON.

Wait. Edit: Not moving on, i have another comment here. It’s entirely possible he might not be piloting at all actually, we seriously don’t know if it’s just been drawn like that because of the reference photos:

that it’s been drawn with. It could just be an oversight, it seems like a waste if they didn’t but it still could be.

So you’re probably also noticing the art style they’ve got going on is pretty realistic looking, I’ve got some theories on that. First off, it could just be cover art, like it’s entirely possible that it’s just cover art. The images themselves are pulled pretty directly from actual photos of them which I’d think would be unsustainable in the long run (maybe they were just trying to present people with something they’re familiar with?) and are pretty realistic which takes a fair amount longer than most comic drawings that we’ve known in the PacRim comics. My second theory is that they ARE doing a very realistic style in an attempt to mimic an actual movie in place of well.. a movie, whether the composition of this is going to be any different to match more closely to a comic who knows. It’s almost a reverse spiderverse if they try to transcribe a cinematic style onto a comic haha.

In terms of the credits up the top, the only credited person on the cover that I’ve managed to find is Fialkov who was also someone that worked on Pacific Rim: TFY0 and Pacific Rim: TFTD. Everyone else is new.

Now the big Jaeger sized elephant in the room, what about the big Jaeger in the back? Well, we know the plan was always to invade the anteverse (the place where the kaiju and the precursors came from) and destroy it, so it’s almost definitely a more armoured version of GAvenger. Other than that? Who knows, again we know almost nothing. We don’t even know who’s piloting it.

In terms of where it sits in the continuity we can also assume it’s probably not going to be compliant with PR:TB since not only is PR:TB barely following any of the lore of Pacific Rim but also the whole premise of PR:TB is that the breaches open and a bunch of Kaiju pour out all over Australia and they can’t stop them, so for PR:FB to have a satisfying ending to a franchise that’s been here for over a decade they’d need to destroy the anteverse, close the breach, and have it never open back up. You see the issue here?

Anyway, that’s about it for now. Once we get more info I’ll go through it again.

Anon Thought for the day: What is the worst non major pain a human can feel? (Example a burn on your tongue from soup.) - @thoughtforthedaysolitaire

Uh... I saw a really bad Facebook joke yesterday and my heart started hurting does that count???

OH! ALSO nail polish in your eye feels like fucking fire

[matrivers]

Anon Thought for the day: What is the worst non major pain a human can feel? (Example a burn on your tongue from soup.) - @thoughtforthedaysolitaire

skinning your knee.

or briefly falling down a set of handmade wooden stairs during a dress rehearsal while your directors are really stressed and you had to do a quick change right after and you got onstage on time but then after you got offstage you had a bit of a break so you were kind of just standing around until you noticed that almost your entire knee was skinned and your finger was bleeding and you walked up to a stage crew member and asked if you looked okay and you were also wearing a rly stupid wig that was too small for your head and so they thought you were talking about your wig and said “yes” but then you showed them your finger and apparently it was like rly bad so you had to go hunting for a first-aid kid mid-run and every run after that (including shows) people warned you not to run down the stairs :)

or the soup thing

that sounds not great too

I went to my first show last night, went specifically to see my favorite band who was playing, Tears For The Dying, and MAN was it fun, I was too nervous to really dance with the first two acts bc it was darkwave so I just swayed with my arms awkwardly but the stage presence of the first act was incredible when TFTD started I felt so ALIVE like skanking and slam dancing with like the very few of us brave enough to really feel it and dance RULED

And after the show I looked at the merch booth for TFTD and got a print, and the person manning the booth was like "do you want a picture with Adria (the singer)?" and I was like internally screaming with joy and she was so nice I got her autograph and a few pictures and I got to tell her how much her music means to me and I even hugged her like GOD this ruled

and as my partner and I were leaving, the person who was manning the merch booth ran up and was like "Adria wanted to know if you'd like this" and gave me the setlist and I damn near cried

I want to go to more shows but I am afraid of going alone, I went to this one with my partner

sorry this is random i needed to share my joy

Ah that’s so cool! I’m glad you had such a good time at your show :) That’s cool you got a picture and hug with the singer too, I always love asking musicians for a hug 🥺🖤 They’re never obligated of course but it’s really cool when they do!!

Going to shows alone can def be stressful, I feel a little bit of those nerves whenever I go to concerts alone even now and I’ve been going to ‘em for years and years and have seen over 100 bands lol, some alone and some not. I just recently went to a show alone for the first time since December or so and I was definitely kinda nervous beforehand! It’s just kinda stressful to be out on your own and I come from the background of having a LOT of social anxiety that I’ve had to work through as an adult. It’s a muscle you sorta build over time in my experience, you gotta start somewhere and just kinda throw yourself into these sorta stressful/uncomfortable (but ultimately safe!) social situations and in time you get more and more comfortable with it, and also kinda get to know yourself better and build more confidence in the process tbh. It’s a practice thing like anything else really, and the cool thing with concerts is that there is an obvious incentive to work through the anxiety since it’s to see a show, plus there is something to focus on so you don’t have to be a master Socializer, you can just chill and watch the show and not worry too too hard on anything else. And next level is if you’re going to the same/similar genres in the same city long enough you’ll start meeting people so even if you go to a show alone you’ll probably be able to start finding people at the show you recognize. 😈

BUT yeah lol, I’m glad you had fun dude!! 🤘

Thought for The day: Can Religion and Science coexist? Can they both be believed in by the same person simultaneously?- @thoughtforthedaysolitaire

This have been on my inbox for like, a month or something cause i don't know how to answer

Yes. No. It depends.

What is religion? There need to be 3 people in a religion for it be considered one

If I say I believe in science and 2 other people agree with me does that make it a religion? Do we make our *God* a doctor? A scientist we admire?

Who says we can't?

There are a lot of religions out there, and I sure as heck don't know how they all work

I think a lot are actually based on scientific stuff, in one way or the other

And I think there are a lot of people who kinda believe in both, but not entirely always

Sometimes they trust doctors, but also hope for miracles

Anon Thought for the day: Do you think that, if we were happy for our entire lives, we would die feeling like we'd missed out on something? - @thoughtforthedaysolitaire

after drafting a post for like a solid five minutes, i think i have my answer: no.

if we were genuinely happy for our entire lives (and not in an everything-is-always-perfect way, but more in a there’s-some-joy-in-everything-even-the-bad way), then no, we wouldn’t.

this question is focusing on happiness overall and not on good or bad in life, so, think about it:

someone you loved, and cared for dearly, dies, in this hypothetical, you wouldn’t be sad. But if we’re not talking about the incapability to feel anything but happy and are more so talking about that you are simply always happy, than you wouldn’t think about what you lost, you’d think about how they’ll be at peace forever. You’ll think about them watching over you and being proud of you.

So, my answer is no. If we were genuinely, truly, happy for our entire lives, then i don’t think we’d die feeling like we missed out on something.

[matrivers]

Thought for The day: Can Religion and Science coexist? Can they both be believed in by the same person simultaneously?- @thoughtforthedaysolitaire

i think so.

i’m sorry for my second response now being so boring, but that’s my answer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
