what if instead of "the author's barely disguised fetish" it was blatantly obvious but done in the most mundane way possible, like you got a 100-foot tall woman in the story but the focus is a complex legal battle about her struggle to get planning permission for a house her size and not much else

get the findom guy in the writer's room but just before the main character can send hundreds of dollars to a hot babe he realises he needs the money for groceries, so then the show just follows him doing that and taking 10 minutes to decide if spending a lil extra for the organic peppers is worth it Bluesky.

Pacific Rim doesn't really work when you think about it, I'm not convinced the damage from the monsters is necessarily any less than the damage caused by the giant robots walking around fighting the alien monster things.

But then again they never explain why you can't just drop a bomb on them from high altitude.

    There's a backstory that basically told the tale of the first kaiju and they tried to nuke it and it didn't go well. Video explainer. It took 3 nukes, so especially since they go underwater for most of the trip and then surface close to shore, it's not worth the risk.

    And yeah, I would expect that there's some law about "can't sue if the jeager steps on your house" or something.
