oh i like this ask. this is a funny ask.

so a few things:

im going to need sources on your claim about del toro's influence on the film because unless im missing something, thats straight up not true. del toro's original plot for what was going to be uprising looked very different, including the twist that the precursors were actually humans a thousand years in the future. del toro also, famously, did not watch uprising, so take that as you will

when the fuck have we ever cared about word of god in our interpretations of media, especially when travis beacham was retroactively adding non-canonical material to a movie that had already been released and getting mad at people shipping on tumblr dot com in 2013. grown ass man.

travis didnt even have anything to do with pacific rim uprising. de knight had scrapped almost all of the original script by del toro & zak penn (sorry to cite a buzzfeed article) and then went through two separate writers before writing the final draft of the script in span of about three weeks (the wikipedia page cites that jon spaihts had written a new script for uprising, and later derek connolley, but the final version of the film doesnt credit either of them, instead listing de knight alongside emily carmichael, kira snyder and ts nowlin as writers)
