#guys really out here saying newt just like Charlie Kelly he think he smart but really he dumb

[invi-on-the-battlefield]

Consider this a spiritual successor to my Re-Animator Youtubers post, but boy howdy do I love being part of niche ass fandoms that have a surface level audience of cishet guys in their 30s who’s experience with nuance in media starts and ends with knowing Raleigh wasn’t really the main character of pacrim. I’m fighting for my life in these fucking YouTube comments.

#guys really out here saying newt just like Charlie Kelly he think he smart but really he dumb #I’m begging on my hands and knees for the most infinitesimal crumb of media comprehension #please #please can we understand that just because newt gets beat up by his own technology on multiple occasions throughout pacrim does not mean he #doesn’t know what tHE FUCK HES DOING #ALSO if I have to hear one more guy say it’s ‘unrealistic’ to have a guy in this monster movie be really into the really cool and awesome #monsters I swear- #the whole fucking point was the fact that humanity got complacent and hubristic because we kept winning against the kaiju + newt already had #an intense fascination with the kaiju because he is neurodivergent and a biologist so it actually #makes perfect fucking sense for him within the societal climate to have this kind of interest in them. #like they had religions for these bitches. ofc some weird little gay guy was gonna get tattoos of them. #i can’t deal with them calling him stupid tho #these guys got what I like to call ‘iasip cisman brainrot’ #they see Charlie Day in any piece of media and think ‘oh hey the guy from sunny’ and then their brain just shuts down #chronic inability to separate him from this ONE SHOW #it’s soooo fucking annoying #like I get it he definitely has a unique energy that kind of carries over between characters but like give the guy some damn credit #the bitch can act if you’d just LET HIM #anyway it’s midnight and I’m not in my right mind #goodnight y’all #pacific rim #pacrim #newt geiszler #newton geiszler #charlie day
