Can someone clarify why evangelion keeps getting brought up in relation to this movie? Is it because this movie's plot is going to get really subversive about half way through (and then have the final 10 minutes of the film just be some place holder shots with some narration because the budget ran out) or is it just because literally the first giant robot anime everyone thinks about is evangelion? Watching the trailer I really don't see anything evangelion related at all, besides giant robots but that's hardly what made evangelion's famous, but obviously the action sequences aren't everything. Also whoever it was that said the jagers need to form up into voltron better get in contact with Del Toro for the sequel's screenplay brainstorming.

Jack Does Jihad posted:I think the main reason, aside from the tagline, is because the script was rumored to be an Evangelion script at one point or something, I think Del Toro had been trying to make it for awhile but I'm not sure. This makes a lot more sense. Thanks. Benny the Snake posted:COMMUNIST TARGET AQUIRED! Liberty Prime was the silliest/best thing. And actually the mechs in Eva were named pretty normally. Units 00 through 14 or however many there were. EFB.

No doubt there will be callbacks and references to various animes and mangas but I'm having trouble telling whether this thread is in CD or ADTRW at the moment Well the guy did post that sweet PIP of Robot Jox. I, for one, will be very disappointed if there is no crotch weaponry in Pacific Rim. VocalizePlayerDeath posted:Other than the different countries each creating there own giant robots piloted by two human minds synchronized together to battle giant monsters invading earth, there aren't many other similarities between this and Evangelion. Did anyone else get weirded out by the GlaDos voice? Obviously there are many people who have never had any exposure to portal but to me it was just really weird hearing literally the same voice in a completely different context. Since the voice thing was already revealed in the trailer I hope there is at least more portal references in the actual movie itself. Maybe a shot of GlaDos in physical form or just Aperture Science logos all over.
