Did you ever watch that Pacific Rim movie, came out 10-ish years ago as a Guillermo del Toro

show?

Pretty sure he's the same guy who did the shape of water, which didn't do much for me,

and Pan's Labyrinth, which did a lot for me, although that was a great show.

Whether you like this guy's movies or not, you got to admit the premise is always pretty

stinking interesting, and Pacific Rim is no exception.

There's this scenario where a bunch of monsters get teleported through some kind of portal

in the deep ocean, and they do what monsters do, which is want to eat coastal cities,

and then the humans have to come up with a way to fight back, and this is where I think

the genius of it comes in.

In Del Toro's Pacific Rim universe, the humans counter this threat by making big giant robots

that are big enough to go hand-to-hand toe-to-toe with the monsters that want to eat the cities.

But the robots are so big and require so much data processing that it takes two people to

come together.

They have to overcome their differences, they have to overcome their individual aspirations,

and they have to agree that the most important pressing thing is that they slay this monster,

that they deal with this really difficult threat, this problem in front of them, and in doing

all of that, they get in sync.

I mean, that isn't the term they use in the movie, I don't think, but they do this brain-link

thing where together, they can pilot this gigantic, anti-monster robot, and so as they sync

up and they do all these moves, then what they do on this little stage gets played out

on this gigantic stage with the robot that they're in and that they're piloting.
