Honest Trailers | Top Gun: Maverick

[@romilrh]

It's worth mentioning Rooster was never angry at Maverick for his father's death. He was angry because Maverick held him back in the academy out of fear. Imo that was such a better reason

[@GradyRisley]

Absolutely. I hate it when the pull that you killed my dad shtik. This was much better.

[@juelfoster8847]

[@woodside4life]

So you’re saying he tried to keep Rooster out of… The Danger Zone? I’ll see myself out.

[@terrorazeing]

@@woodside4life Jeez that joke took my breath away

[@Tomcat_Coyote]

I loved that they didn't go for the cliché angst for his Father's death , but rather for making him lose years at the Academy , which is understandable . Although Mav is just doing what Rooster's mother begged him to do and doesn't want Rooster to blame his late mother , so he shoulders the decision instead .

[@AhHereWeGo]

That “YOU TOLD ME NOT TO THINK!” Scene was perfect. Not only because it was funny, but they weren’t afraid to have a silent moment, and honestly, that’s refreshing.

clearly this movie was a passion project and not a shameless cash grab relying only on nostalgia, that's why it worked so well.

[@DanielFolsom]

ehhhh it's a pretty thin acknowledgement. "You're old ... and even Iceman says it's time for you to move on ... but you're still young enough to be the best damn pilot we have, and you need to lead this mission while also facing zero consequences of your age at any point in the film."

[@unreachablesecretary]

[@JeremyLambright]

The ending dogfight with Mav and Rooster together in an F-14 Tomcat was the highlight for me. Best movie I've seen in a long time. And the g forces experienced by the actors were 100% real, with some even passing out on camera. They all had to do months of training just to be able to get inside the planes.

[@xballsport]

[@ellisz5972]

It was a bit of a stretch that Brad Brad didn't know that the F-14's wings were variable sweep. But it did make a funny scene.

[@captainarcher5205]

Ex-fighter pilot C.W. Lemoine did a great review about the authenticity of those scenes. It’s hilarious because real fighter pilots eventually grow accustomed to the g-forces and don’t make the crazy faces like the actors do in the film. Said they looked exactly like rookies on their first day in the centrifuge! 😂

[@ellisz5972]

@@ellisz5972 No, I think why he asked that question was because Mav extended the wings on the Taxiway itself and he was concerned because it was too short

I remember this hilarious anecdote from an aviation magazine where they were testing the windshield of a new airliner by firing dead chickens at it at an appropriate velocity to simulate bird strike, and to their horror the windshield kept shattering to oblivion.

The differences start to show after the aircraft make it through the ravine, when a bunch of Gen 1 Harriers show up and start wrecking the Mercs. The Area 88 OVAs came out in 1985/1986, so a tad before the first Top Gun. Better yet, a character (Mickey Simon) flies an F-14A, which is kinda funny.

You know what? I actually DON'T think they mirror Maverick and Iceman. If you think about it, neither of them actually resemble either of the characters. Sure, Bradley was raised by Maverick, but Mav would never hesitate in taking a shot, he would never hesitate periodt. And sure, Iceman may have been cocky and smug, he was still a team player. He'd never abandon his wingman like Jake does. The only thing I find similar is the friends/rivals relationship between the two. But other than that, I don't think they're that similar, which is a GOOD thing. It would have been too "on the nose" if their personalities had been similar.

Story I thought was derivative, love story I found forgettable and some of the supporting characters I thought were also that. The Batman was well-made I think.
