Wait, what's Broken Earth? I've been totally out of the loop! Sell me!
And yeah, I probably wouldn't have admitted it if you hadn't first, but
the juggernaut that was Geiszler/Gottlieb kinda turned me off the fandom
too. (Though I did find one FtM!Pentecost fic and it scratched itches I
didn't even know I had. I'm totally that bitter bastard who's just
bitching because he's not getting the free fandom content HE wants,
bespoke and instantly, haha.) Also a lot of people seemed to adore Chuck
Hansen and... no. (I saw a trans headcanon for him and I was just like,
no, let's NOT do that thing where trans men are allowed to be raging
douchebags because dysphoria is hard.)
Also for real, I would've loved to see some politics fic about the Wei
brothers and how they manage being a three-man Jaeger team and surely the
intense political pressure that would put on them to perform as China's
superstars. I was totally into the Russian husband/wife team too, but...
I don't think it's any coincidence they got way more fandom attention than
the Weis.
I was totally into Pacific Rim for the Pentecost/Mako adoptive family
relationship. That was totally the core of the movie for me. I totally
wish they could've piloted a Jaeger together!
