Cailee Spaeny as Amara Namani in PACIFIC RIM: UPRISING (2018)

[triplicatesgirl]

ID: the “shoutout to women fr” meme. It’s edited to read: “Shoutout to child soldiers who become disillusioned with the status quo they were raised to uphold. Gotta be one of my favorite archetypes.” There are pictures of Rex Salazar (Generator Rex), Theresa (Class of The Titans), Rell (League of Legends), and Amara Namani (Pacific Rim). At the bottom, additional text reads: “I also fw boy kings who are made to carry so much at such a young age too if anyone was wondering.” There are pictures of Lloyd Garmadon (Ninjago), Nathan Byrne (Half Bad Trilogy), and King Ezran (The Dragon Prince). End ID.

The further I get into the PRU novelization, the more convinced I am that Amara was originally meant to be a K-Day survivor.

First of all, take a look at this drift flashback from Alex Irvine's novelization of Pacific Rim: Uprising:

Amara in the garage with her father. A car engine, partially disassembled, hangs from a block and tackle. He is showing her how the pistons work in the cylinders. On a workbench next to the block and tackle, the engine’s head sits drying after they’ve just cleaned it. Once it’s dry they’ll set the head gasket and put it back on, and after that they’re going to drop it into a car- (Page 78)

"Character taught to build things in the shop/garage by family member" is one of Guillermo del Toro's favorite backstory tropes.

What's also interesting here is that the kaiju what attacked Santa Monica in PRU is named Insurrector. You know which kaiju name that sounds pretty similar to? Trespasser. Y'know, the one that attacked San Francisco on K-Day. We already know that San Francisco was swapped out for Santa Monica during the development of this story, so it kinda looks here like somebody came with a different name to replace Trespasser's in a hurry.

i’m not an uprising fan, especially because of how they handled mako, jake’s entire existence, and really just…most of the stuff that happens, but i AM a fan of the jaegers. they lack the realism and heft of the jaegers in the first one, but i can appreciate how cool they look. saber athena kicks ASS

Infinite DC: Godzilla Vs Godzilla

read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/vzwdi4o by LivingStoneWriter For reasons unknown, Godzilla has betrayed the people of the "Pacific Rim" universe, after living in their realm for 10 straight years. Marshal Stacker Pentecost and his son, Jake, can only rely on the Gladiator of Gallifrey to discover a way of destroying the powerful Titan, putting an end to its destruction. Only Suri, the Sixteenth Gladiator, is the one to respond, after a happy holiday reunion that's promptly cut short in the emergency. Of course, Suri has reason to believe Godzilla is innocent, with the circumstances of its betrayal not adding up together. With the help of her companions, Goku and the Minions (as well as a couple of others who tag along), Suri investigates the possibility of another Godzilla that has emerged from the Pacific Rim rift.

We Don't Talk About Newton

I definitely did NOT watch Encanto and did NOT listen to this song a bajillion times and did NOT eventually imagine Pacific Rim characters singing it and did NOT imagine Amara Namani asking Raleigh and a hospitalized Mako about what happened to their friend Newton because then --

Raleigh: We'd be talking about Newton and we... can't talk about Newton right now.

Mako: … Why do you ask about him, anyway?

Amara: Well, I thought that since they're bringing him here, and you guys knew him, we could find how he got this way, y'know? And we can find clues to what the Precursors will do next --

*Mako grabs Raleigh's arm to pull herself closer to Amara*

Mako: We don't talk about Newton, no, no, no

We don't talk about Newton... *Looks around*

But!

The war clock had run out --

Raleigh: The war clock had run out

Mako: We in our Jaeger and we killed Otachi in Hong Kong

R: Why had it gone to Hong Kong?

M: We asked him later about his red eye --

R: THUNDER!!

M: You telling this story or am I?

R: I'm sorry, Mako, go on...

M: He drifted twice with Kaiju brains

R: Didn't want us to help him

M: Must've pushed him to drift again

R: And light up the Pacific Rim

M: He caused me a world of pain...

R: At least you're okay but anyway --

Mako & Raleigh: We don't talk about Newton, no, no, no

We don't talk about Newton!

Jake: Hey!

Grew to live in fear of Newton stuttering and stumbling

I could always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling

I associate him with the sound of dripping blood...

Drip, drip, drip

It's a heavy lift with a drift so humbling

It left Dad and the Shatterdome fumbling

He studied those monsters in ways no one understood...

Only Hermann would

Vik: Seven foot frame, monsters at his back

When he calls your name, it all fades to black!

Yeah, he sees your dreams and feasts on your screams (Cadets: Hey!)

Vik, cadets, and Jake: We don't talk about Newton, no, no, no

We don't talk about Newton...

*People gathering outside dome*

Kaiju cultist holding skin parasite: He told me my pet would die, the next day, dead!

Cultists: No, no!

Hannibal: He told me I'd get eaten, and just like he said!

Hannibal's Scavengers: No, no!

Scavenger: *takes off helmet to show head scarred from kaiju acid* He said that all my hair would disappear, now look at my head!

Hannibal's Scavengers: No, no! (Hey!)

Hannibal, Scavengers & Cultists: Your fate is sealed when the kaiju are your friends!

Hermann: He told me that the life of my dreams would be promised and someday be mine...

He told me that we would change the world with inventions that we would design...

Julie: Óye, Lambert is on his way!

Jake: He told me that the man of my dreams would seem just out of reach, going out with another

*Julie walk towards Jake with Nathan on speaker phone* It's like I hear him now... (Liwen: Cadets... I want not a sound out of you)

*Julie waves phone behind him* It's like I hear him now...

*Turns around*

Oh.

I can hear him now! *takes phone and runs*

Amara: Um, Newton... Yeah, about that Newton.

I really need to know about Newton,

Give me the truth and the whole truth Newton!

Vik: Dr. Gottlieb, your BOYFRIEND'S here!

Everyone, but mainly Julie and Liwen yelling at Viktoriya: What'd I tell you??

*Lambert, Jake, and soldiers pull out and escort a weary, handcuffed Newton through the path into the Dome*

*Everyone singing around each other as they peer through windows and Jaeger scaffolds*

V: A seven-foot frame (M: The war clock had run out, R: The war clock had run out)

V: Monsters at his back (M: We were in our Jaeger)

V: When he calls your name (M: and we killed Otachi in Hong Kong)

V: It all fades to black (R: Why had it gone to Hong Kong?)

V: Yeah, he sees your dreams (M: We asked him later about his red eye --)

V: And feasts on your screams (Hermann: He told me that we would change the world, R: THUNDER!)

Mako: You telling this story, or am I?

Raleigh: I'm sorry, Mako, go on (H: Our own design... Julie: óye, Lambert is on his way)

M: He drifted twice with Kaiju brains (V: a seven-foot frame, monsters at his back, R: Didn't want us to help him)

M: Must've pushed him to drift again (H: Drifted with another, another, R: and light up the Pacific Rim)

M: And then he caused me a world of pain (H: And I'm fine, and I'm fine, and I'm fine, I'm fine!)

Everyone: He's here!

Don't talk about Newton, no! (Amara: Why did I talk about Newton?)

Not a word about Newton!

Amara: I never should've brought up Newton!

PACIFIC RIM: UPRISING (2018)

How I would do a Monsterverse/Pacific Rim crossover

So lately I've been thinking about the Monsterverse, and Pacific Rim, partially because those where the new movies my family has been marathoning the past view weeks, and also because of how many fans are hoping for a potential crossover between the two series.

Anyways, since I have a hobby post prompts, headcanons and fanon on my blog, I figure I could do a change of pace, and share how I would handle such a crossover. Originally I wanted to do a post on a Godzilla crossover fic with ATLA/LOK with Star Wars I’m considering to write, but it was a little fucking out there, so I decided to go with this. I only ever talked about that one with a friend.

1. First and foremost, I'd probably make it make it a duology or trilogy; there'd be so much ground to cover that I don't think they could fit into one movie without it being a rushed messed.

2. Considering how incompatible the two timelines are, as well as their respective worlds, what I would do is a multiverse crossover. Something like Into the Spiderverse or Crisis on Infinite Earths. As of Godzilla vs Kong, the Monsterverse is clearly taking a more sci-fi direction, and Pacific Rim introduced the concept of other dimensions in it's very first movie.

What I'd do is pick up where Uprising left off; with Jake Pentecost, Amara Namani, and Nathan Lambert, among others planning and attempting an Jaeger strike against the Precursor's dimension; something goes wrong in the mission, and the bulk of the PPDC end up on a parallel earth - the one the Monsterverse takes place on. It not only lays the ground work, but it also picks up where Uprising's stinger ended, and explains where it's characters disappeared to at the time of Pacific Rim: The Black, without Fridging them. And of course, the Precursors would set their sites on that earth too.

3. As far as the incompatibilities go, I think this could work to the stories advantage. Just play up the foil aspects; The Titans are natural species who were always part of their Earth's ecosystem, while the Kaiju are artifical monstrosities created by aliens; there would be how Monarch and the PPDC contrast each other in their goals and methods; there would be how their two worlds perceive giant monsters and mechs, especially after Mecagodzilla's rampage.

This would be part of what drives the human storyline, as we have one set of protagonists and another that probably should be working together, end up butting heads due to their conflicting worldviews and how to solve eachothers problems. It could even trigger the monster conflict, as the Jaeger's would also end up on Monsterverse!Earth, which provokes a reaction from Godzilla (and maybe Kong). After Mechagodzilla's previous rampage, mechs would be a divisive figure to the public, and the public would be split on "Is Godzilla a threat that needs to be taken care of, or is the threat yet again these people who provoked him ?"

Not helping their case is the only solution the PPDC can think of is trying to combat Godzilla.

4. As far as returning characters go, especially protagonists, we'd at least have Jake, Nathan and Amara on the PPDC side of things, while we'd yet again follow Mark and Madison Russell, perhaps Bernie from GVK, and the Monarch crew from King of the Monsters. 

I’d include Jia and Dr. Andrews, but I couldn’t think of a good enough Kong related subplot as of yet. I did however think of one gag where Jia tries to communicate to Monarch’s people or the PPDC’s people, but due to a sign/language barrier, they either don’t know what she’s saying or are distracted by how cute she is.

As for returning  human antagonists ? Maybe Jonah Allen, if only to resolve that subplot, but the brainwashed Newt would be more plot relevant to what I have in mind. Apex could also serve as antagonists yet again, presenting themselves as "necessary allies" to the PPDC in rebuilding Jaeger's, with the lingering threat of Mechagodzilla being restored; this would also further pit the protags against each other. In addition to rebuilding Mechagodzilla, the Apex Jaeger's would include drones with an interconnected AI, much like the Shao Corporation (You can see where this is going...)

5. For the new Kaiju that would appear in this crossover, I would go with revivals of the big three from the Hesei era. The Hesei era gave us a plethora of artificial monsters, that became icons (despite most of them only appearing in one movie respectively). Since Pacific Rim's Kaiju are artificial, it would be the perfect opportunity to introduce Biollante, Destroyah and Spacegodzilla to the mix. I can even see Gigan appearing here.

Destroyah was the one I put the most thought into, besides Spacegodzilla. Destroyah would be the main threat in movie one. Born from Newt's reverse engineering the Precursor's methods, and small mutations created by the Oxygen Destroyer, Destroyah would be another example of the Megakaiju seen in Uprising, with it's three stages menacing humans throughout while humanity is focused on Godzilla. The threat of Destroyah would culminate in a fight between him, Godzilla, and the non drone Jaeger's

Spacegodzilla is a different beast all together which segways too...

6. I got this idea of how Ghidorah would play into this. It'd also turn the Showa idea of “Ghidorah being enslaved by aliens” onto it's head.

While Earth had it's Old God's in the Titans, other worlds had Ghidroah, including the Precursors. The Precursor's similarly once worshiped Ghidroah and were with him in trying to terraform Earth. That was until Ghidorah became a threat even to them; they came up with a plan to trap Ghidorah on one earth, while they conquered another. Even after exiling their "god", they'd use Ghidorah's DNA residue to create their Kaiju. Since their Kaiju are genetically linked to Ghidorah, their Hive Mind is susceptible to being overtaken by Ghidorah should he awaken...which is exactly what happens when Godzilla's DNA, and Ghidorah's remaining neurons are used to create "Spacegodzilla".

Now the reason I went with this idea is A; if you take Hesei!Spacegodzilla and Monsterverse!Ghidorah, aside from the differences in species, they are pretty much the same in characterization. And B: Ghidorah was reincarnated into a body resembling Godzilla ? It'd be weird if it happened twice, right ? And once Space-Ghid-Zilla comes into the picture, he would hijack the hivemind of the Percursor's, the Kaiju, even Newt's mind control. Juries out on if he would remain Spacegodzilla throughout, or if Spacegodzilla would be a "cocoon" for a fully resurrected Ghidorah to emerge from.

7. And if that wasn't enough, the PPDC teams would have been duped in restoring Mechagodzilla, along with it's AI/more of Ghidorah's lingering consciousness, which ends up hijacking the drones AI.

The end result is Ghidorah's consciousness being controlling two bodies at once (three if you count Newt), using one to control the Kaiju and the other to control the Jaeger's.

8. I think that would above cover the first movie in this hypothetical duology or trilogy. With Mechagodzilla’s recreation and Spacegodzilla’s creation setting off the cliffhanger.

I currently don't have that many ideas of where to go from there, other than the following movie(s) would focus on the resulting war between Earth's Titans, the Precursors' Kaiju, the rogue Jaeger's and the few still controlled by the PPCD. It would be here we finally get both protagonist factions coming and working together as a team, and where we would get the Destroy All Monsters/Final Wars storyline.

Actually, Final Wars would be the closer comparison. That movie was batshit crazy.

Amara: We need to distract the others.

Jake: Leave it to me.

Jake: Centaurs have six limbs and are therefore insects. Discuss.

Hermann, Newt, Raleigh, Mako and Tendo: [immediately start arguing]

[monsterblogging]

Having gathered up as much information on the original PR2 as possible (quotes, concept art, etc), I'm going through the PRU novel and trying to see if I can find anything that may have survived from a pre-SDK draft and seeing what I can piece together.

First I gotta say, knowing that the role Mako Mori played was originally going to be filled by Herc Hansen explains a lot. You'd fully expect an old ranger like Herc to have doubts about a new form of Jaeger tech. Also, it explains why that part of the story took place in Sydney, in particular.

It's also becoming very evident that Liwen Shao was developed from the original techbro-getting-his-inventions-from-the-Precursors antagonist, but for some reason they decided on PLOT TWIST it's not the corporate tech person in contact with the Precursors, it's Newt!

Also, everything I'm seeing about Liwen Shao's personality and background so far would make a lot of sense for a character initially imagined as a kind of foil or evil counterpart to Newt - a child genius with a PhD at seventeen, skyrocketing to success in the corporate world, breaking into the Jaeger scene - yeah.

It's also becoming clear that a lot of the story was originally intended to take place in San Francisco, but at some point it was replaced with other locations, including Santa Monica. (The Jaeger junkyard Jake breaks into at the beginning was very obviously meant to be Oblivion Bay, since he's specifically stealing parts from Romeo Blue.)

I also believe that Amara was originally intended to have lost her parents on K-Day (August 10, 2013). The original PR2 was only meant to be set a few years later, rather than a whole decade. If Amara was five years old on K-Day, she'd have been about twenty years old in PR2's story, which would have been a reasonable age for joining the PPDC. It would also be a fitting age for a character played by Maisie Williams, whom del Toro wanted to cast as a young Jaeger pilot.

[shaolinrouge]

objectively jaeger pilots are supposed to be cool but they’re actually the lamest people ever. they’re always saying dumb shit 😭 “striker’s got the ball and we’re on the roll” “let’s go fishing” and the entirety of jake and amara’s conversation when they’re fighting November Ajax. they’re so lame i love them
