the care given to writing the Kaiju’s impact on the world is incredible. the entire concept of Bone Slums being something that people inhabit, especially those of Reckoner in Hong Kong turning into a black market, Kaiju Blue being massively toxic and damaging to the environment, doomsday cults emerging? it’s also so immersive, which i think a lot of sci-fi movies kinda fail to establish. granted, pacrim had novels to include extra info in, but alien/kaiju movies usually don’t flesh out the world around them besides the immediate destruction in the aftermath of an invasion. idk i just think it’s fun
My contribution to the super awesome @edgeofhopezine ! 🤖✨ I loved being on the mod team for the graphics and also work together with all the other amazing contributors!
For what it's worth, I know it must have hurt like hell when Herc drifted with Chuck for the first time and saw all the pain, hurt and resentment Chuck felt for him.
Can you imagine?
You're seeing your kid crying on memories. He's secretly begging for his dad to be more present. He's destroying toys alone in his room. He's full of rage and saying he wished his mom was alive and not him. Yet he's so proud of his dad he cannot even mean that he wished his dad was dead and not his mom. He misses his uncle, yet he doesn't know what Scott did yet. You can feel how happy and proud he was when they told him that he'd pilot with you. You hear a memory of him saying in class "my dad is my hero". You listen to curse after curse after curse in his mind, all directed to you. That's your little boy. You don't know him anymore. You're in his mind. You can't reach him.
And you cannot stay in any of those memories or the test will fail.
