I'm glad Rocket punches are as big a deal to everyone else as they are to me. I sat up a little straighter and gave a silent "gently caress yes" when it happened in the trailer.

I remember where I was when I was high as gently caress and saw Big-O's first rocket punch. I look forward to repeating that experience with this movie.

When you get older, this is exactly what you can do. I've seen every Pixar movie and a bunch of other stuff I'd be way to embarrassed to see in my own simply by offering to take care of relatives' kids for the afternoon.

Nah you just got to pass as a parent. A trenchcoat and full bucket of popcorn on your lap is pretty much all the disguise you need. Sit next to a kid and offer them popcorn and no one will know the difference.

I came to this thread to find out if anyone else was talking poo poo about this movie because I really wanted to pinpoint exactly what I hated about the trailer. And I see everyone is just masturbating about how neat big robots are and how much they love their animus.

Also, I'm like 95% certain Iron Man does a rocket punch in all 3 recent movies he was in so why are you guys acting like it's never happened in cinematic history?

How you have that reg date and this post? Giant monsters vs giant robots is literally one pair of boobs away from 90% of a goons' wet dreams. :colbert:

After Hellboy 2, which imo would have sunk if anyone but Del Toro had done it, I'm super hyped on this. I think he can do it.

I actually thought it would have been better if Del Toro hadn't done it. It was clear he was intent in injecting a Pan's Labryinth style of fantasy into that movie, and always wondered if he just raided some Pan's-Labryinth-reject-monster-concept drawer for things to use.

Fighters on homeland security stand by are probably only loaded for Air to air and air to air munitions would do jack poo poo to a kaiju.

Also they could have consciously been using guns because dropping a 2000 pound JDAM right next to a bridge full of civilians you're trying to protect doesn't really help them.

The most logical reason not to use conventional munitions in the future is once they find out the Kaiju have toxic blood spraying that stuff everywhere with bombardment is probably a bad idea.

Huge plot problem, an ICBM loaded with munitions drops them from the upper atmosphere, the velocity alone would put a whole through one. Unless these guys have skin like clover field that are impervious to damage or whatever.

To be fair, the scene at the end of the trailer when the mech is tossed through the air did remind me quite a bit of Transformers. I just feel like I had seen that exact shot in one of the movies. But that's it, really.

But because of their size and the way that scene was shot you can actually tell what is going on, which is a lot better than most the fight scenes in transformers where it looks like someone just threw two piles of scrap metal at each other and filmed it in slowmo.

Geez, are there still people harping on about this? Half joking half serious, do you get overwhelmed when a lot of things are happening and need to be processed at once in real life or just in movies? I always found the fight scenes on TF movies pretty easy to follow.

It is not a good show, keep your memories untainted with a rewatch. The best thing to come out of Wing was the suit designs(most of the non-Gundam ones are outstanding) and Heavyarms/Heavyarms Custom. Also that General who is like Waluigi in uniform who gets thrown out of a plane, and for good measure, headshot with a pistol as he's falling.

There's just something about a robot that is MADE OF GATLING GUNS AND MISSILE LAUNCHERS.



8 Gatling cannons, and enough missile launchers to be one of the biggest users of the Itano Circus.

Heavy arms was always one of my favorite, I will have to load up some endless waltz now guys. Thanks, thanks a lot.
