Im super into mecha anime but these movies (also transformers) do not appeal to me at all

 

[Khoryos]

I want the final one to be essentially an adaptation of End of Evangelion.

Make the next one G Gundam tho.

We already have a live-action G Gundam.

It's called Robot Jox.

 

[The Kree]

and

 

[ShroudOfFate]

I'd love a crossover with Godzilla.


Which ends with Godzilla teaming up with the Jaegers against a bigger threat.

I only want this if it's Shin Godzilla. Not that lame Edwards version

 

[mjc]

Bring back Hunnham for the third one. Success.

 

[KojiKnight]

Got to hid those fads long and hard. The inevitable comic book movie collapse mirroring the physical book collapse in the 90's will be quite amusing.

 

[MegaPanda]

I am 100% fine with this. Give me Pacific Rim: ZZ and Pacific Rim: Kaiju's Counterattack

 

[PBY]

Fuck this

 

[Menitta]

Damnit. I'm super excited for Pacific Rim Uprising but enough of this Cinematic Universe crap. Unless....they tie it with Godzilla.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Can they at least wait and make sure this movie doesn't pull a Transformers 5 and nosedives in China before announcing shit like this?

 

[Falchion]

Guess we'll just have to see how well this is received.

 

[Moose Biscuits]

Fuck. Half of me is instantly worried that they might try to flog this setting until everyone is thoroughly sick of it, Transformers style. The other half of me is jumping up and down shouting "Giant robots!".

If this could be the jumpstart for more giant robot media in general I'd be happy. Otherwise, eh.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

I'm not sure the article is saying a cinematic universe. Toys, games , movies, cartoons and books normally just means a franchise.

 

[kikiribu]

I’m so sick of cinematic universes. Probably won’t bother if that’s the case

 

[zeemumu]

Just put it in the Godzilla kaijuverse

 

[Breqesk]

Y’know, I get the cinematic universe fatigue argument, but Pacific Rim’s genuinely one of my all time favourite films, so I’m here for this. Of course, they actually need to demonstrate that they can make a worthy successor without Del Toro first. I’m really, really hoping the fight scenes hold up without his direction.

I don’t mind faster, more agile, Gundam-style mecha at all... But making mecha look good alongside live action characters/locations is super fucking difficult, going by how thoroughly awful the Bay Transformers films have always looked, so I’m still kinda worried.

 

[Sygma]

Trailer looked as convincing for a cinema universe as the mummy, expecting this to be a brilliant installment

 

[Keym]

Fuck cinematic universes. Just stick to a couple of sequels, how hard can that be.

 

[Slayven]

Worry about making a good and successful movie first

 

[paragonpro]

Universal is nearly as thirsty as sony, so this is there move forward since "dark universe" tanked? Whats next when this fails?

 

[Ocarina_117]

Yeah my hype keeps decreasing with this movie.

Although if this is successful enough I'd love for another where the Jaegers move more in line with the first movies. I'm not a fan of the newer, faster ones.

 

[- J - D -]

Announcing this is like invoking a curse on yourself. Why do it?

 

[Neverwinter27]

Everyone wants that Marvel cash

 

[nicanica]

10 years from now when this cinematic universe trend goes full mental

Pacific Rim Jaegers + Titans + Avengers + Kaiju

Edit: sure lets throw in the Guardians as well
