Why do they not just nuke the Kaijus?
Dropping a nuclear bomb in the middle of a large city would be an absolute
last resort, as this would easily cause as much if not more damage than a
giant, rampaging monster. Plus the contamination from the fallout would be
catastrophic and unpredictable. In the prequel comic, it is explained that
the first four kaiju to attack were, in fact, destroyed with nuclear weapons
. The fourth kaiju, "Scissure", which attacked Sydney, apparently took
several days to lure it out to the sea where it could be safely nuked
without decimating and contaminating all of Sydney along with it. It is
precisely for this reason that the Jaeger program was developed because, if
humanity had to continue to drop nukes every time a kaiju showed up, that
would wipe the human race out all on its own. Guillermo del Toro has stated
that he does not intend Pacific Rim to be a "realistic" depiction of a giant
monster invasion. Rather he intends the film to be a "beautiful poem to
giant monsters"; that is, a stylized throwback to the giant monster genre.
So wondering "Why don't the military use realistic tactics?" is pretty much
missing the point of the movie. It's not supposed to be realistic! Besides,
anyone who has ever seen a Godzilla movie can testify that, in giant monster
movies, it's typical for the military to largely be ineffective against the
monsters, with the exception, of course, to secret weapons, which in this
case would be the Jaegers. Interestingly, while the prequel comic
established that the first few kaiju to attack were killed with nuclear
weapons, the film itself instead seems to imply that they were killed with
conventional weaponry. The prequel comic was written by the film's
screenwriter, Travis Beacham, so take what you will from this apparent
inconsistency. |
