when you’re visualizing how badly your stomach lining is about to be torched from the number of naproxen you’ll need to take in order to counteract the muscle and joint strain of fucking those aliens out of him so hard his prostate has a permanent dent

uprising is a bad movie but you can’t deny that charlie day acted his ass off & sold the role completely despite it all… no matter what at least we still have charlie days sad pathetic eyes welling with tears as the evil aliens possessing his brain force him to hurt The Man He Is In Love With. And They Have Sex, By The Way.

i think the best part about the newmann elevator fight Uprising has to be like. the fact that these guys are a team of hired and armed professionals and they get beat up by two nerdy gay middle aged men with the least training out of anyone in the whole building. and it isn’t even a near thing. Hermann single handedly whoops the asses of 3 guys with nothing more than his cane and a decade of repressed homosexual yearning. fucking incredible

Just feeling a little angsty in the Applebees tonight

Good thing Uprising wasn’t real, just a weird AU we all mass hallucinated *nod*

The worldbuilding of the original Pacific Rim: "This is Crimson Typhoon, a Jaeger that was specially designed by Dr. Caitlin Lightcap herself for this set of triplets with incredible drift compatibility."

Pacific Rim: Uprising: "Yeah we'll just shove three teenagers who just met and basically hate each other into the same Jaeger, it's good."

I will say that my favorite Pacific Rim fic trope is actually from Uprising, where Newton is kept in a cell and they bring Hermann to ask him questions because either there's some agreement or Newton (who is obviously being controlled) asks for him

And Hermann is still so absolutely in love with him and is broken on the inside when seeing Newton for the first time in years chained to the metal chair in the middle of the empty room. And Newton, who isn't himself, is snarking at him before letting Newton talk to Hermann. And Newton just begs for his misery to be over.

Rewatched Pacific Rim Uprising the other day with my sister and god. Just. What a masterpiece of funnybad cinema. Mako’s never-mentioned-before brother is the main character alongside a girlboss teenager whose homemade jaeger curls up in a ball and rolls like Sonic. Mako dresses like a flight attendant now. Drift compatibility is no longer a measure of your connection to another person, instead it’s something you’re ‘good at’ or not. Raleigh died offscreen of cancer years before the movie but this is only addressed in the novels so when you’re watching pru you’re just wondering why no one even mentions him. (There’s a moment after Mako’s death (she died bc her never-mentioned-before brother’s jaeger fumbled the pass on her helicopter lmaooo) where you see a memorial with her, Stacker, and… one of the Russians? Not Raleigh? Why did they not put Raleigh’s face there to at least communicate that he’s dead?) The Jaeger program inexplicably still exists even though there are no kaiju. The government was trying to defund Jaegers in favor of the sea wall even when the kaiju were still around and tearing through the wall like tissue paper on a weekly basis, why are they still funding them when the only demonstrated use case is as oversized cops that can barely navigate a city street. Anathema Device is there just to be the pivot in the world’s blandest love triangle (semi resolved by a winky implication of a polycule? Okay sure I guess). There’s an evil black Jaeger which exists for no reason conceivable outside of Doylist apologia. One of the Cool New Toys Jaegers is just a normal big robot with a spike ball on one arm it looks so fucking stupid. Charlie Day is eating up every scene he’s in and Burn Gorman is having the time of his life elbow deep in kaiju guts. (The two of them and their scenes are genuinely great zero complaints but they’re living in a different movie than the rest of the characters.) (Okay for real I have to address it Newt and Hermann are genuinely so good in this movie 1) for what and 2) fucking how? Why is Hermann mucking around in kaiju entrails He Would Not Fucking Do That but Burn is having so much fun it works somehow. Newt’s wretched fashion sense bad mandarin and shitty plastic sunglasses have bewitched me utterly I need to study him. Elevator cane beatdown. Hermann they’re in my head. The breathless little smile on Newt’s face when he sees Kaiju Voltron (yeah three kaiju turn into one bigger kaiju. Like Voltron. Don’t worry about it).) The monster is trying to blow up the earth by throwing itself into Mount Fuji???
