Fanboy: What could you find wrong with Pacific Rim?
Me: Not much, but would it have killed them to have a woman amongst the science or support staff? I mean, how can a movie this good fail the Bechdel test? C’mon.
Fanboy: Well, who could have been female?
Me (shrugs): How about Choi?
Fanboy: That wouldn’t work.
Me: Why not?
Fanboy: Because they would’ve had to change the lines when he’s first introduced, about the date. That’s how the character is introduced, that’s how he bonds with the Becketts.
Me: No, they wouldn’t. They could leave that exactly as it is.
Fanboy: But he says that the girl had a good time, but her boyfriend was mad.
Me: (waits patiently for the other shoe to drop)
Fanboy: …
Me: (slowly nodding)
Fanboy: OH MY GOD CHOI WOULD’VE MADE THE BEST BOW TIE WEARING LESBIAN EVER.
Me: Thatta boy.
