China pandering
is strong with this one...
shareWasn't "Pacific Rim" a bit of a flop?
Is so, the new Asian market is probably the only reason a sequel was made, so yeah. They're going to pander to that audience.

Appealing to the first movie’s largest (by far) market? Gee, I wonder why.
The Asian influence in the first one was, I think, pretty obvious.
The USA market is less important these days.
shareAny movie with a China pander usually ends bad. Majorly bad if not majority bad. Take Independence Day 2 for instance. These world come together scenes where oh US wouldn't have been able to do this without China cooperation or leading in some way.
shareCan it be pandering if a Chinese company paid for it?
