“Frank Harding is a hard-boiled P.I. in 1940’s Los Angeles who finds himself fighting not only the usual cadre of criminals and ne’er-do-wells, but also the occasional demon and other malevolent supernatural beings. While fighting the forces of darkness is another day at the office for Frank, his current case, tied into his own past and L.A.’s all-too-real history of prejudice and discrimination, may be the one that puts Frank out of business…for good.”

Hard Bargain, GN written by Steven S. DeKnight, art by Leno Carvalho, announced for August 2024

Adria Arjona as Jules Reyes in PACIFIC RIM: UPRISING (2018) dir. Steven S. DeKnight

Okay, a bunch of misconceptions I keep seeing about Pacific Rim would be cleared up with the understanding that:

Pacific Rim and Pacific Rim: Uprising had two completely different directors, with two very different creative visions. Pacific Rim was directed by Guillermo del Toro, famous for busting into the public consciousness with the extremely anti-fascist film Pan's Labyrinth. Pacific Rim: Uprising was directed by Steven S. DeKnight, who previously worked on... Bayformers. Yeah.

The people behind Pacific Rim: Uprising did not look into Pacific Rim's extended lore. In fact, they barely even paid attention to what happened in the first movie. (There are multiple inconsistencies between these films.)

Pacific Rim: Uprising did not begin as a cash grab from executives. Guillermo del Toro and Travis Beacham (the guy who came up with Pacific Rim in the first place) had always planned for a sequel. The pair of them were involved in developing that sequel... until a scheduling conflict forced del Toro to leave. He was then replaced by DeKnight, because executives always saw Pacific Rim as being the same kind of thing as Bayformers, and you know the rest of the story.

i'm sorry they are ACTIVELY taking the piss at this point I feel like I'm watching a robot that's almost about to achieve sentience and self awareness and i am desperately trying to nudge it in that direction like ats writers look into my eyes. you are so close. i just need you to ask yourselves some questions. questions like: what is the connecting thread here? what do cordy and fred have in common with each other that sets them apart from the rest of the main cast? what interesting patterns are emerging here? what, perhaps, does this say about the gender politics of - (i am forcibly removed from standing outside steven s deknight's house with a megaphone)

omg gunn backstory cut from “apocalypse nowish” where he explains why he’s afraid of rats, steven s deknight says it was: “he woke up one night when he was a kid and his sister was screaming and the rat was chewing on her leg”

What if the Pacific Rim fandom Goncharoved an alternate Pacific Rim 2 that didn't suck? 🤔 (To clarify, I don't mean an alternate PRU. I mean an alternate PR2 that was never handed off to Steven S. DeKnight et al. Either it stayed in del Toro's hands or it was handed off to someone else entirely. And like, it might just be called Pacific Rim: Maelstrom as originally intended.)

[monsterblogging]

So as I'm digging up stuff on what was initially planned for Pacific Rim 2, something I've determined is that while a lot of stuff in Uprising was created after Steven S. DeKnight took the helm, there's a lot of stuff in it was adapted from the initial script, and... probably would have been better.

There was going to be a rogue Jaeger, but it would have been an old Jaeger piloted by two assassin sisters.

Herc Hansen, rather than Mako Mori, was meant to die.

There was an antagonist in communication with the Precursors; however, he was a techbro who had seemingly invented an "Internet 2.0." (His "inventions" were given to him by the Precursors.)

Regarding the antagonist, based on elements that appear in the Aftermath comic (which was informed by information sent to writer Cavan Scott by Legendary Pictures), I have a strong suspicion of what this "Internet 2.0" would have entailed. Aftermath depicts various neurological implants that allow people to pilot mini-jaegers; one type that's effectively a port embedded into the back of the pilot's neck, and another type that allows the pilot to wirelessly control the Jaeger.

I presently suspect the original antagonist would have been marketing brain implants through which people could wirelessly access the Internet, that were also intended to connect people to the Precursor hivemind at some point.

Worth noting here is that Guillermo del Toro intended to have San Francisco utterly devastated in the final battle. Silicon Valley was absolutely going to bite it in what appears to be a story taking aim at technology like Neuralink and the increasing inescapability of techbro bullshit in general.
