The upcoming Pacific Rim TV show will be paying off one of the best scenes from Guillermo del Toro’s 2013 masterpiece. The Kaiju franchise, which debuted in 2013, has been a hit with audiences and critics, and has expanded its universe to include an animated series produced by Netflix. The franchise is set in the future, where the Earth is attacked by giant monsters. In response, the governments of the world create attack robots called Jaeger to defend humanity.
Although audiences were expecting a new Pacific Rim movie, the Pacific Rim universe will be expanding with a TV show instead. Unfortunately, Guillermo Del Toro will not be at the helm of the prequel. The TV show will be directed by Eric Heisserer. Details about the plot of the series are scarce, but it has been confirmed that the Pacific Rim TV show is currently in production.
Pacific Rim’s K-Day Montage Was One Of The Coolest Parts Of The Movie
The K-Day Montage Left Audiences Wanting More
Guillermo del Toro’s masterpiece features several cool scenes, but the K-Day montage is undoubtedly one of the best scenes in Pacific Rim. Since K-Day is the day that the Kaiju first attacked humanity, it isn’t surprising that careful thought and detail were included in the montage that showed how it all started. Del Toro’s creative genius can be seen in how the montage was put together.
The iconic filmmaker used TV footage to reveal how the Kaiju attacked humanity, the destruction they brought, and how the Jaeger were created to defend the planet. The fact that the K-Day montage doesn’t last long or reveal too many details about the Kaiju and Jaeger left audiences wanting more. Seeing as the K-Day montage is one of the most significant parts of the movie, it will be interesting to see if the upcoming Pacific Rim TV show will include something similar.
The Pacific Rim Prequel Can Show The Kaiju War In A Way The Movies Never Did
The Pacific Rim TV Show Will Have More Time To Show The Kaiju War
The Pacific Rim TV show presents an opportunity for the franchise to show the Kaiju war in a way the movies were not able to. Unlike the movies, there is more room and time for extensive details about the Kaiju war and how it all began to be revealed. Although the live-action prequel might have budget constraints, it still stands that the TV show will be able to delve deeper and reveal details about the war that audiences were not aware of. Further, the Kaiju War is not the only thing that the series can showcase. There are several scenes in del Toro’s movie that the Pacific Rim TV show can explore.
