Rest in peace Val Kilmer (1959 - 2025) 💔

From the Top Gun: Maverick production notes. It was Cruise who wanted Kilmer for the original Top Gun and Bruckheimer has said that Cruise refused to do Maverick without Kilmer. What a gift to have them on screen together again one last time.

I needed to get that Pacific Rim AU brainrot outta my head so here we've got some dossier files for this AU. I feel like they tell a lot about the backstory I want to go with but maybe it's just me - I mean, if you want to make some guesses I don't mind rumbling some potential fic spoilers at you...

The timeline is loose so don't be scared by the mixed birth dates, etc.

Sorry if they aren't the greatest quality... Text in the alt

Mav's and Ice's files:

SO YOURE JUST GONNA TELL ME THAT THEY DECIDED TO END TOP GUN 86’ WITH A SCENE OF TWO F-14’s FLYING ROMANTICALLY THROUGH THE CLOUDS TOGETHER INTO A BEAUTIFUL SUNSET WITH A ROMANTIC ASS SONG PLAYING AND SAY THAT ICE AND MAV WERENT IN LOVE?! OKAY HONEY, DENIAL IS A RIVER IN EGYPT.

(Like they were totally headed off on their honeymoon wym)

I have love/hate relationship with 2025 season

I hate that my driver (max) does not leading wdc & winning everything

I love drama that came with first race and that those drama doesn’t involve max

Love that whenever fans point out how Daniel Ricciardo was the best option for that second seat last year, people will harp on about his results in VCARB (as if he was P20 every weekend 🙄) as a reason as to why he “didn’t do enough” to get the seat.

Like, yes besties. That’s the point. We’re seeing in real-time right now that how well a driver did in that little VCARB has absolutely no correlation to how well they’ll adapt to the RB21. And that perhaps they should be considering the fact that they had an experienced driver, who has the same car preference as Max, who was also at the tail-end of his career and could have, if for nothing else, acted as a buffer to allow either Lawson or Yuki to garner more experience in order to be called up for the 2026 regulation changes.

I’ll make it even simpler for you: VCARB more balanced. Lawson do better in VCARB. Daniel not like balance. Daniel like pointy front. Daniel do less well in VCARB. RB21 very pointy front. Daniel do better in RB21.

Everyone suddenly now wants to speak about how drivers’ preference has so much weight on their results. But when Daniel went into the very understeer-y McLaren or into the VCARB that failed time and time again to adapt to a stronger front-end…it was all Daniel’s fault and he deserved to be fired and have his entire career denigrated in the media all year.

Had Daniel been put into that Red Bull and done decently well - or even if he hadn’t done decently well - it would not have impacted or ruined his career like it’s ruining the careers of these junior drivers they keep trying to force into the seat. Daniel has his legacy. Lawson and Tsunoda don’t yet, and they might never get there if Red Bull have their way.

He was the best option. Not just because he’s the only driver familiar with the car’s extreme oversteer and their best hope to do well on it, but also because of his legacy with Red Bull and the goodwill and ambassadorship he would have secured for them for years to come had they not ended his career in the most baffling and unnecessary way possible.

Let’s do a though experiment for a second: think of Red Bull’s show run in five-six years time or Goodwood Festival of Speed, who is going to be driving for them? Who do you think about when you think about a Red Bull driver?

It won’t be Sebastian, he’s long since cut ties with them. It won’t be Max, if he’s already retired by then. It won’t be Checo, after the way they treated him. It won’t be Carlos, Pierre, Alex, Lawson or Yuki considering they all had one season each (if that) in the main team.

It would have been Daniel. Daniel is the only big name that would have genuinely come back for them. And how they don’t even have that.
