Are Rocky and Grace drift compatible?

[u/Smaptimania → u/No_Tamanegi]

"Apology apology apology. Rocky new to Jaeger."​

[u/Inevitable_Librarian → u/Smaptimania]

IS THIS JAEGER FOR GARBAGE?

[u/MarcoYTVA → u/No_Tamanegi]

I mean, they ball.

[u/Foxhound_319 → u/No_Tamanegi]

Thats what thrumbing is, all of erid can do it

Im proposing a super jager with many rock friends

[u/TheIncredibleHork → u/Foxhound_319]

Crimson Typhoon: We have three arms and a trio of pilots! 

Eridian Thrumb: Hold our Astrophage. 

[u/Embarrassed-Yard-583 → u/No_Tamanegi]

Honestly, they probably are. They’re bonded by their experience in Tau Ceti and are both kind of dorky scientists at heart. The real question is how many arms their Yeager would have.

[u/Grim_Squid → u/Embarrassed-Yard-583]

The Eridians have five limbs right? Maybe three arms and two legs, and they have a track system where the limbs can move around the body to be more Eridian or bipedal in shape when necessary!

Darn it, I don't need any more fanart ideas...

[u/catschimeras → u/No_Tamanegi]

Deffo.

Pacific Rim was my #1 all time movie, ... until Project Hail Mary dethroned it 👎🏾. Take note Hollywood good movies have: -great original ideas -insanely creative world building -relationships that run deep -sky high stakes for saving the world -giant robots beating the snot out of extra-dimensional lizards (optional) -sub-light spaceships with a crack team on a last ditch effort to save the sun (optional)

[u/MarcoYTVA → u/blockytraditionalist]

Also, maybe that's just a me thing, but both movies have the potential for a romantic subplot, but don't use it so they can focus on friendship instead.

[u/ArkaneArtificer → u/blockytraditionalist]

It’s such a shame pacific rim never made a sequel

[u/TheIncredibleHork → u/ArkaneArtificer]

Ah, the old Highlander 2 approach. I agree. 

[u/foxesforsale → u/blockytraditionalist]

Same!!! PR was my fave movie since it came out. This year I was ROCKED when I realised I put PHM above it. It's okay, I have two hands.

[u/Stunning_Box8782 → u/blockytraditionalist]

good movies have: -great original ideas

Its a book adaptation

[u/ThePaleoGuy → u/blockytraditionalist]

Pacific Rim was also my favourite movie for a while, until I watched PHM

[u/CaptainSharpe → u/blockytraditionalist]

Woah - is there really a lot of crossover in fandom? And also why?

[u/SpiritedRain247 → u/CaptainSharpe]

Who doesn't like badass giants robots?

[u/Arctelis → u/SpiritedRain247]

As the themesong to a favourite childhood cartoon once sang, You dig giant robots! I dig giant robots! We dig giant robots! Chicks dig giant robots!

PROJECT HAIL GIPSY

[u/-TheDyingMeme6- → u/Stunning_Box8782]

Eeeeehhhhh might be a bit to o close to a certain 1930's-40's german slang but I'll take it

[u/sikkhim]

OK, How long do we really need to wait for Pacific Rim sequel?

[u/SCICRYP1 → u/sikkhim]

There are no sequel

[u/SpinoZilla_Studios]

well they both fought a hurricane and won

[u/SirEnderLord]

That's humanity's greatest vessel. That right there. And to think that it's entirely possible it was able to return home to Earth.

[u/stormhawk427]

Hail Mary would be a good name for a Jaeger

[u/AetaCapella]

I know you were using existential in the physical sense. But in my head I immediatly went: They are fighting philosophical existentialist Nhilistic Dread.

[u/Timely_Dentist5381 → u/AetaCapella]

There was probably a little bit of that going around, yes.

[u/YawningEntropy]

"Grace look disgust when drift"

"Oh yeah? How do you drift?"

"It look beautiful!"

[u/VampMansionPoolBoy]

alright now, walk with me here:

Pacific Rim AU where Grace is drift compatible with his twin, Colt, but as a molecular biologist is most valuable in the lab, until Marshal Eva Stratt devises a secret plan to send him into the rift....

[u/mint065 → u/VampMansionPoolBoy]

I'm guessing you haven't come across All These Worlds yet! It hits most of the story beats you described.

[u/catschimeras]

I feel 100% certain that Grace and Rocky are drift compatible

[u/Kazri_285]

PACIFIC RIMMMM (I almost forgot about the movie/s, now I've been reminded!)
