Description Pacific Rim.

Hmm. That film created many very mixed feelings in me.  I spent quite some time fruitlessly trying to explain the abyss between the my joy and my disappointment in the movie, so how about we put it this way:

I liked it enough to paint a giant mech inspired by it. It has cannons, because I like cannons and god knows they didn't see enough action in the movie.
And...and yet, I want to slap the genius that wrote the script and tell them to feel ashamed about themselves for thinking that "nuclear powered" is the same as "analog". So very, very ashamed.

Conclusion: Perhaps I'm thinking too hard about this, a movie that in the words of the director "is supposed to make the 13 year old in us exited".
But for crying out loud, Aussie, YOU SHOOT MISSILES FROM YOUR TEATS! 
ACT LIKE IT.

I think they meant the nuclear jaegers were all analog until they found the new power source.

Okay then. Now think what "analog" means. Now think what "digital" means.

And now riddle me this: how in the flying fuck do you apply that to power sources and, even more, EMP durability?

I'm not a mechanic, but I assume they just designed the nuclear jaegers as analog, and they developed the "digital" jaegers with a different power source. And I assume the "digital" jaegers ran on some kind of electricity. And nuclear energy isn't affected by EMPs (Electric Magnetic Pulse). And I guess the digital and analog jaegers can be compared to a Wii remote vs a Game Cube controller. This is just my assumption.

Muntu. Muntu. I don't think you really thought about what "digital" and "analog" are. Hint.

I looked it up, some analog devices aren't affected by EMPs, or they atleast survive. And it's less of a chance of getting affected if it doesn't run on electricity.
