“The first scenes featured in the trailer, depicting a young girl witnessing a Kaiju attack, are not the first scenes you’ll see in “Pacific Rim.” The sequence actually takes place in the middle of the film, a flashback that reveals the history of co-lead Mako Mori (played by Rinko Kikuchi), who lost everything to the Kaiju.

“This is how she decided to fight Kaijus, and what happened to her as a kid,” del Toro explains.”

I have a lot of thoughts on Pacific Rim. And I have quite a lot of fanart in general that I want to make right now.

First off the bat, though; Mako Mori’s intro scene. God, that outfit. That Umbrella. The SECOND UMBRELLA she brought for her dad and/or the stray pilot he brought her to experiment on. The complete nonchalance towards the gigantic storm she’s standing in and the army of frantic engineers unloading artillery around her. Ahhhh… all of it.
