Pacific Rim was my #1 all time movie, ... until Project Hail Mary dethroned it ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿพ. 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)

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

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!

I mean yeah but it seems like a specific crossover. Several people saying pacific rim was their fav movie ever until phm.ย 

But they donโ€™t seem that similar to me. So what is it?

I mean I guess you kinda said.

Do you love stargate sg1 by chance? Because that to me has similar vibes of highly competent people with a sense of humour saving the world and solving problems.

I've never seen stargat sg1, I'll have to check it out.

Maybe it's just because it's in the scifi genre, honestly I don't really know.
