We’re taking another look at Pacific Rim: The Black
So, I guess it’s time to talk about Pacific Rim again. I love the two movies but I realise the sequel is divisive. I never thought the first one took itself too seriously, but a lot of people criticised the sequel in particular for being too dumb. That and killing the only returning character in the first act probably soured a few people too.
Still, giant robots fighting monsters is a concept that will
never get old, especially in Japan. So we get another clash between Jaegers and
Kaiju in Pacific Rim: The Black. The developers here are Greg Johnson and Craig
Kyle, who also co-developed Wolverine and X-men which I covered way back. The
show has a 2 season order from Netflix, though the seasons themselves are only
7 episodes, so for the next two weeks, let’s take a look at what the show has
to offer.
