I love how newmann is characterized as having a perpetual alien brain worm third wheeling their relationship, truely the height of the meme "ah yes, me, my husband, and the 20 ton genocidal psychic aliens that haunt our mutual psyche"
how hard can it be to just make one final pacific rim movie. like i know it won’t make anyone money but just… take one for the team. i’ll buy everyone dinner
what’s funniest about the pacific rim scientists is like. when newt geiszler says he’s a scientist he means an old-timey 1910s entomologist wearing khaki shorts and a comically oversized pair of binoculars traipsing through the jungle capturing endangered species of butterfly and murmuring “egads!! fascinating…..” and scribbling it in his journal. when hermann gottlieb is being a scientist it’s literally the fucking manhattan project. tortured chainsmoking physicist. pawn of a war. repressed homosexual all his life. gets executed for being a communist. And they have to do each other’s peer review
This might be one of my favourite scenes of anything ever cause it’s so blindly obvious how connected they are after the drift!!!! The way they carry this speech - it doesn’t sound at all like two separate people with separate thoughts, this is ONE thought, ONE message and it is bouncing between them speaking so effortlessly. It’s so different to how they talk together earlier on in the film - they don’t cut each other off or argue or talk over each other, the sentences flow between the both of them like they’re one person. It’s honestly amazing to hear two people sound so incredibly connected
It's a shame we never got to see Newt and Hermann pilot a jaeger together because I imagine it's interior set up would just be Newt on a hamster wheel to make the thing move while Hermann sits in a gamer tm chair and uses a 90's pilot simulator controller to shoot flame throwers
My contribution to the "Ten Years of Experience", a newton/hermann 10 years anniversary zine (hosted by @hermannsthumb and @k-sci-janitor) :D It was really fun to draw those nerds again 💕
