Movie should have ended with Maverick dying. That's really all he wanted at the end of the day. He doesn't want to end up like fricking Iceman.

He's already fricked Iceman
Ice got AIDS and died from fricking Maverick but they don’t disclose that.
It seemed like they played with the idea but didn't want to commit to it. Maybe they thought it'd be weird to write a story about a protagonist wanting to die when the original director already killed himself. Would have been kino if after they're big celebration they show Maverick trying to adjust to normal life but be can't hack it. Takes a jet out for a spin and rams it into a mountain at mach 10 speed.
I disagree. The whole idea of the movie is about obsolescence and age. Tom is a relic in the movie and as an actor, a remnant of a dying era. Drones are replacing pilots, it’s inevitable. But he says “not today”, and tells reality and fate to go frick itself. By all narrative principles he SHOULD have died, gone out in a blaze of glory to see in the next generation. But he doesn’t. He keeps going because he doesn’t care about the limits you impose on him. That’s what makes the movie truly in the spirit of 80s action, that larger than life heroic denial of the facts because the facts don’t satisfy us. That’s why this is extremely popular and movies like TLJ and James Bond were forgettable shit. WE KNOW people have to die, the good times have to end and we arent invincible and immortal. But maverick isn’t real, he can tell reality to go frick itself and for a moment make us feel a little better about it, and while we are sat in the theatre maybe believe a little bit in the wish fulfilling soulful hyperreality we see on screen. It’s hitting the same subconscious grooves heroic epics, medieval knight tales and all the other timeless stories do. It’s just the human spirit crafting it’s own based little reality without tempering itself or being dragged down by self awareness. That’s tom cruise, that’s top gun.
So....it's Star Trek 2 with no Khan? Lame.
Holy based
Checked and based great explanation
Extremely based. Put me in the screenshot
omegabased cruise cannot be bruised
"The navy needs maverick"
-ice cube
Damn, based
Based and understands the human psyche
>kill all white men
you will never pass
No, frick off Black person
Movie should've ended with Tom Cruise dying on set. Every "Mission Impossible" that was made I kept hoping for a fatal accident. No luck yet...
>mav makes Rooster eject into the ocean, takes on 2-4 5th gen fighters in his old Tomcat while Mighty Wings plays in the background, allowing the other pilots to crawl their way back to the carrier for repairs.
KINO
He died in darkstar plane crash after getting burned to ashes at mach 10. The rest is just his vision before he died.
the whole film took place in purgatory and each pilot was one of the seven deadly sins
He became a cuck and raised two different single mothers children
Oh Cinemaphile how low you've fallen. Once you took the first brave stance against Scientology, now you're shilling a Tom Cruise flick and collectively sucking his dick. Your forefathers are pointing at you in disgust
chanology was seen as cringe by like half the user base who constantly made fun of anonymoose.
Gamer Gate was a mistake you fricking Black person
Dafaq does it have to do with Gamer Gate?
Chanology was patient 0 to what would become gamergate
These two events killed Cinemaphile
Those two have nothing to do with one another and you're talking bullshit. Gamergate was a mistake because it was a bunch of seething incels crying about "muh wemen in vidya". Chanology was about freedom of information and tackling an absolute heinous entity
those """"""forefathers"""""" were all redditors who thought they belonged here
kind of like you, actually
Ironic, Because it's kind of pathetic how much people who keep calling things "Reddit" on Cinemaphile do it. You wanna belong so much so you have to keep calling people by THE R WORD to show they don't belong and you do.
yeah.
so brave taking on the minor hollywood cult
so much this. don’t talk about israelites in hollywood though that’s cringe
>"Maverick"
>"Iceman"
are these really their names? is that supposed to sound cool or something? just pure cringe honestly
you will never get it zoom zoom
talk to me dubs
That's for the sequel, dipshit.
