This bonus episode was an interesting one. Nate has been outspoken with his disdain for Uprising for a long time. He even trashed it on a GFEST panel before coming to the Island. Personally, I’m indifferent. I prefer the gloriously beautiful mecha from the first film (plus, Gipsy Danger is a better name than Gipsy Avenger), but I can’t deny the new technology in the film intrigued me. I’m amazed those kids passed piloting school, though. But I don’t have much room to talk because I couldn’t cut in Jaeger school. I guess surviving the infamous War in Space makes your brain drift incompatible.
Anyway, I jotted down a few notes from the “debate.” Here they are:
- In my defense, Nate was certain in his wrongness about Amara and Newt. It was funny to watch him embarrass himself.
- I did fight Jack once…I don’t want to talk about it.
- The Bandai Mandates are a good band.
- The Jaeger with the whip was Guardian Bravo.
- The Mysterians perhaps makes Jimmy too happy…I’m not at liberty to say why.
- Obsidian Fury’s original name, Black Mariah, is the name of a Marvel Comics character. Interesting, “Black Maria” is the name of a character in the popular manga One Piece.
- I’m all for getting Nate stoned. It’d be our highest-rated and most downloaded episode ever of all time.
Nate didn’t have a bunch of research for this episode since he wanted Jack to carry most of it, but here’s what he had.
All right, I have a lunch date with my cellmate in the detention center. More blogs to come!
