Someone just linked me this Official Trailer and oh my. This is too stupid even for the 6 year old in me. That narration makes 300 seem subtle.  |

Have you tried the internet? It's made out of millions of people missing the point of everything and then getting angry about it

Can anyone tell me why it's two men per mech ? I don't think that makes any sense.
Other stuff doesn't make sense, but I don't care.

Maybe the blueprint for the Version 1.0 of the mech design helps you understand.

I didn't think it was. During that bit they show two mechs standing next to each other, so I assume it was one person per mech. |

That's what I get, too. They're remote piloting them like drones, so there's no need for a huge room for each individual. Their control 'platforms' can be stacked right next to each other to control the mechs since the pilot isn't moving in space.

They're in a "bilateral pilot rig" enaged in a "neural bridge" (as GlaDOS says in the trailer) that's in the head of the mech - which really makes no sense at all because its a vulnerable spot, easily targeted by tanks and enraged Kaiju. (Click to see bigger version.)
The three armed Chinese jaeger, " Crimson Typhoon", has three pilots but the Japanese mech only has one pilot. |

Two pilots for a mech based on human form factor. Ok. |

I think the way of reasoning is that one human brain would short out trying to do it so it needs more redundancy. Just a pair of double A's.

No, the second pilot is there to die needlessly, so the protagonist can 1) hold his co-piolot's limp body 2) shake his fist at the sky 3) scream "GOOOOOOOOOSSSSSE" as the camera pulls back |
I would like to thank Vladimir Putin for ensuring that every member of the NPR news staff has had to say "Pussy Riot" on the air multiple times.

http://tinylink.net/75744http://spinoff.comicbookresources.com/2012/11/12/guillermo-del-toro-talks-pacific-rim-rise-of-the-guardians-and-more/So you put two people that don’t get quite along in the outside world and then when they’re fighting a monster they’re really good together, for example. So these stories are interesting in that regard. In the other regard, it’s an essential story of a hero that basically has to learn to trust again. Because in order to drive the robots, they need to connect neurally. So each pilot knows exactly what the other one’s thinking. So it’s like, no matter how crazy your thoughts are or who you are, you need to be visible for everyone. And he doesn’t want anyone else to see him. So there’s good stuff in there. Each pilot makes up the right and left "hemispheres" of the robot's "brain".
