  • Bringing @avelera and I’s chat out here. Those aliens really did take care of that meatsuit they’re in. Sure they destroyed Newt’s mind, twisted the remains of his personality, turned him into the corporate douchebag he would viscerally hate and used his intellect to try to destroy the world but damn….those tailored suits…that skanky shirtless instagram selfie…. that was probably the first time in Newt’s life that he regularly exercised, wore nice clothes, and ate a vegetable

on the no phone thing for pacific rim, maybe the rift interferred with the connection to the internet/phone lines and made them unusable?

I would absolutely accept this explanation. Another thought I had was that Trespasser took out San Francisco, so a lot of social media companies and other tech could have been crippled by that strike, playing havoc on the progression of consumer devices and applications as we know them. Some combination of both would be totally acceptable IMO
