If they’ve lived in the neighborhood a long time, I’m assuming that the mail man already knows, haha! This isn’t the first giant cosplay that he’s built. The website is a little outdated, but it seems like he built a Bioshock Big Daddy costume before. http://www.retroresource.com 

Probably because this sorta stuff happens regularly on his lawn. At some point the mailman’s going to start saying “eh, another puppet thing.”

Saw the same thing. I really thought he stopped to check it out, but he gave zero fucks.

Oddly enough, this wasn’t the weirdest shit he saw on his route that day.

Because its really HIS daughter, and if he showed any emotion whatsoever, it would lead to a Jerry Springer episode.

That mailman is unfazed.

I don’t know. Gypsy Danger always sounded like a stripper or porn name to me. The others are cool though.

Some military codenames do kind of indicate what they relate to, but most don’t. sure you get things like Operation Enduring Freedom that are basically a hit over the head with how blunt they are but that’s just because you have to call an operation something, and everyone already knows about it.

Cherno Alpha WAS the best. Also, it was the oldest Jaeger around, being Russia’s first and ONLY Jaeger because it was a massive clunky tank that could take a beating. Plus it was super cool that it was piloted by a married couple.

I agree. These Jaegers all look like they came from Japanese giant robot central casting. I liked how, in the first movie, each Jaeger had a styling somewhat reflective of its home country — especially the Chinese and Russian Jaegers.

He is. My guy is cuter.

Sadly not. Just a handy cat GIF. Cute little bugger though, eh?

Military codenames are actually supposed to be incoherent. The idea being that, if somebody finds out the codename, it won’t tell them anything about what the project actually is. Names get pulled from a random name generator. Sometimes the operation name gets changed for public consumption, though. As I recall,…

Naw, if it was like Anime, the movie would have been called “Hyperdimension Climber Neo-Jaeger Force”

Cherno Alpha was, seriously just the best. I love that its head looked like a nuclear power plant’s smoke stack. These jaegers are ok, but are sticking a little too close together in terms of design. I want the weird jaegers back. I’d like to see like a four legged one, or a crab-jaeger. Flying jaegers. I mean, we’ve…

That’s the thing, they’re cool, but they’re nonsensical cool. I’ve heard military codenames, they tend to (not always) be a bit more coherent.

I’m sure they could say “Oh, they’re military codenames.”

For the same reason the characters have nonsensical, awesome names like “Stacker Pentecost” and “Hannibal Chow”: it’s a live-action anime.

Awesome designs, the more streamlined look show the tech advancement well. But also....was there ever a reason the Jaegers have such nonsensical (if awesome) names?
