[@sayonarakid]

I think it would be awesome if the precursors decided to build some kind of kaiju that would be controlled by one of them from inside the monster. Like, they saw how good it worked with the jeagers and decided to make their own kind of biomechanic jeagers.

[@flatheadgg2443]

Zarcastico he called their universe the antiverse ergo it has to be made of antimatter + through the nuclear explosion there happened a reaction between matter and antimatter And at least the ones were familiar with physics and/or watched at least one season of Star Trek knows what that means

[@el_de_enmedio]

Flathead Gg244 ok

[@block4562]

Flathead Gg244 doesn't have to be made of antimatter. Our universe isn't made of unimatter. It's called the antiverse because it's opposed to ours. And because "antiverse" sounds interesting.

[@Rune3100]

It's actually the "ANTEverse," which is an important distinction (the prefix "ante" meaning before or preceding, which fits with the denizens being called the precursors)

[@Ground_Dirty]

What if the precursors followed our example of piloting massive constructs like the jaegers, and replaced the primary brain of the kaiju with a biomechanical interface similar to the pilots. This would allow them to apply their advanced mental capabilities to the kaiju as if it were a Jaeger. The second brain would compensate for the lack of drifting, granting them a tactical advantage.

[@SpearM3064]

+Tommy Broadbent Actually, no they couldn't. Have you ever wondered why they started with "Category 1" kaiju instead of skipping straight to Category 4 and 5? I think the explanation was cut from the movie, but the novelization explains that The Breach started small and had to grow over time. So apparently they can't just create a Breach big enough to send a hundred at once.

[@leroyjenkins4811]

Sounds like the Precursor are a prime candidate for “Civilizations that are too dumb to actually exist.” If the Precursors are advanced enough to open portals to other worlds/dimensions for the purposes of expansion and resource gathering, why couldn’t they expand into a place that wasn’t occupied by an aggressive native species (dinosaurs and then later on humans)? The universe is a huge place. Why would I want to fight over resources and land, fight off a violent native species, and then terraform when I could find a place that’s not occupied, has everything I need, no violent natives, and terraform that place? The whole “aliens form beyond who want to wipe us out for water and resources” trope is actually pretty stupid. Water and heavy elements are actually quite plentiful in the universe but we as human think they’re scarce because we don’t have the tech to get to them. A space faring or inter dimensional race is advanced enough to acquire these materials without ever encountering us at all. They could get all this stuff without ever even making their presence known to us. It makes for an interesting movie and entertainment, but at the end of the day, it’s just not realistic.

[@a.N.....]

That's why it's dumb lore. It should just be big monsters come big monsters crush.

[@olafisashark5105]

Pacific rim is one of my favorites great job explaining this didn't really know wtf they are

[@martianmanfrommars8428]

The precursors remind me a lot of Yapool from Ultraman Ace, how they create kaiju to destroy humanity and how they're both demon-like aliens from another dimension. Considering how much the creators of Pacific Rim were Ultraman fans I'm convinced they must've really liked Ultraman Ace.

[@cedricmedrow6756]

In the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium, as the galaxy descends into a new era of Chaos, an ancient threat rises from the depths of Holy Terra once more…

[@GeahkBurchill]

I was one of those who saw the Kaiju in the first trailer and went, "Holy shit!? Did Barlowe design the monsters?!" It still tickles me that I could identify the concept artist from the final screen incarnation.

[@alexanderpoirier3350]

Like how they show up ONLY when we are the dominant species. I’ll bet that a few Precursors got a little dinosaurian surprise, hence why they chose to weight a little longer (could just imagine one getting ripped by a pack of Utahraptors, another getting chomped by a Giganotosaurus, a third getting clubbed by an ankylosaurus, etc.)

[@emanuelbenicio3501]

They easily had the technology to wipe out every dinosaur, we already have it...we are stronger than all species that have roomed this planet.

[@Firealchemist24]

"Fighting their own battles"'? It is possible they could decide to use the idea of the Jager and decide to merge with kaijus themselves to even the playing field when it comes to intelligence and tactics. Also, going by the fact that there will be so many Jagers in the new movie leads me to believe we will be seeing category 5, 6 and possibly 7s appearing, or they will face hordes of lower categories to compensate for the higher number of Jagers, it will be interesting to see what they com up with.

I think its likely the Precursors themselves come out to play. That would also explain the new Jaeger designs. I wouldn't discount Kaiju yet, but they would most likely become more of a support role in this invasion.

Anthony Santa Cruz no there is a lot more meaning to it let me explain A long time ago the precursors made the forerunners and humanity and so became humanity and the forerunners very powerful and so gave the precursors the mantle of responsibility to ancient humanity instead of the forerunners and the forerunners became made that they didn’t got it so they killed nearly every precursor but one still lived in a meteor as time went passed he thought about killing them plans filled with rage the precursors could also alter form and so he altered himself and made himself into the flood and the flood was on a forerunners planet so humanity killed that planet and so begun there forerunner humanity flood war

Pacific rim 2 will be a touching emotional drama about the collapse of the jaeger industry and the interpersonal relationships between the crews afterwards, as well as the general progression of humanity towards a utopean, nationless world. Why? For the same reason that manifest destiny would probably have been halted if the native americans had suddenly started employing artillery barrages, but a thousand times worse, because while there's only one america on our planet, there will be billions upon billions of worlds and you're not going to mess with the guys who built robot suits and fire nukes at you when you can just go ruin some primitive society's day. That or we go full circle, tasting blood we reverse engineer their technology and send titans through the portal to antagonise them instead, and we can have a movie about the futility of war as we watch a precursor's whole family eaten and torn apart by a giant.
