The women need to talk each other more.
White dudes need to angst much much less! We've seen that in too many movies already.

I spent Saturday thinking, "I want to be a kaijuu." (My mother would have said, "You already are one.")

What would you name a Malaysian Jaeger? I would've named an Indonesian Jaeger Satria Badai if fellow Indonesians wouldn't find it too lolarious.

"Apologize to her." Too bad Mako didn't punch Aussie-with-issues herself. Too too bad.

Srsly, like, how on earth do white dudes hold themselves up as functioning human beings when so much of their media portrays them as falling to pieces every goddamn time, my goodness.

And would it have been so hard to have had yet another major female character?? Made the scientists women? Given us some glimpse of an all-woman team? Made Raleigh a woman? There wasn't really any need for him to have been a white dude at all!

I think I would name a Malaysian Jaeger "Straits Echo". It's the name of a long-dead newspaper my grandpa used to edit for, plus, "Echo" I believe is one of those official military-talk words.

Rempit Raya, with their rocket-assisted special move, "SUPERMAN!"

I totally wanted Mako to step in, tell Raleigh she appreciated it but wanted to clock the guy herself, and then proceed. Or something a bit more active.

Unfortunately, the movie thinks the co-pilot test = nearly all the on-screen awesome she needs. Or something.

It seems to think that about a whole lot of people, sadly =( With such a great cast, they spent WAY too much time on the douchebro, angstbro, and nerdbros.
