who's ready for round 2?
apparently no one
i love the first film but i doubt the sequel will amount to much of anything without Guillermo del Toro at the helm

I'd have to agree with you
it's his crazy mind that makes stuff like this work
>>71538257
>>71538887
it's his respect and understanding of the material
i guarantee that Steven DeKnight (the guy who replaced him) will not be able to replicate the physical connection between pilot and Jaeger that del Toro created with his direction
Hiring Boyega was brilliant on their part. That means the studio has to make it this time or MUH RACISM.

How the fuck are they going to make this work? They closed the portal at the end of the first one is it just going to open again? Still hyped though. We are in the age of Kaijukino
>>71538257
I don't want it because they're hiring some no name TV director.
But I like that so far it seems like Charlie Hunnam and Rinko Kikuchi aren't returning.

Its been rumored its countries vying for control after reconstruction
>>71539167
So it's Robot Jox.
Cool?
>>71539211
dont know what that is but if you mean Gundam sure
>>71539262
>2016
>Not knowing what Robot Jox is
How old are you man? This shit was on TV on shitty networks every single day in the 90's.

> no del Toro
> hamfisting Boyega into the story even though it makes no sense for Stacker to have a son
I'm not sure I want a sequel anymore
>>71539438
>I'm Stacker's son
>why haven't I ever met you before?
>why hasn't Mako ever met you before?
>are you sure you're not from the other dimension wearing a human suit?
>>71539525
>>71539438
Yeah, because black men are known for sticking around after they get a woman pregnant and raising their children amirite?
>>71539438
>>71539525
>Another rift opens on a much smaller scale and Boyega is from a dimension where Stacker never partaken in Jaegers and chose to raise a family instead
Ready for more cool characters to job so the boring main characters can save the day?
Yeah, so ready
