Is Top Gun: Maverick as good as people think it is?

Tom Cruise was a young actor on the rise after his breakout role in Risky Business in the early ’80s. In 1986, he had two movies: one, a remake of a Paul Newman classic, The Hustler, The Color of Money, in which he plays a hotshot pool player, and the other, Top Gun, where he plays a hotshot pilot. The latter has a sequel that came out in 2022 and has garnered much acclaim from critics and the…

I also like that his nickname for her changes as he learns more about her (because their interest in understanding each other parallels their interest in understanding how storms work) but it’s always in reference to where she’s from. Because she has that whole “running from home -> returning to home” character arc thing going. So we start with “city girl” and we move to “Sepulpa.” And the guy who’s giving her those nicknames is not only demonstrating that he’s learned more about her and they’re getting closer, but also, he’s the one really reminding her where she’s from/where she belongs in this story.

Javi is also doing that, but the thing about Javi is that he is associated with the Big Tragedy. He was part of the thing that makes Kate want to cut herself off from “where she belongs.” So even though he’s reminding her of who she is and where she’s from, too, it’s in the wrong direction. Kate’s character needed somebody new to come into her life, not somebody from the tortured past. And what better “somebody new” than a guy who’s got all the love for weather she used to have, and all the challenging interest in her, with none of the “reference to tragedy?”

I mean they could’ve written Tyler to be a storm-chaser who lost someone, too. At the rodeo, he could’ve gone, “yeah, my parents died in a storm, there wasn’t an early enough warning system, so now I chase what I used to fear to help understand the thing that took my family from me,” yadda yadda, angst angst. But that’s not what they do. Because Tyler’s character doesn’t need to foil the tragedy. He needs to foil the fun. And the hope, and the enjoyment, and the bravery, that Kate’s character has been suppressing.

So what better character to start marking where Kate’s return-to-where-she-belongs journey is, with nicknames, than Tyler—the guy trying to understand her—and then once he gets an understanding, he’s the guy trying to push her to move forward?

Good good good. Good writing, good storytelling, good characters. Nothing fancy. Just plain good.

Monica: uh

Tarzan: I mean, I guess? I mean, I’m just happy to be here-

Glen flipping through the script: We don’t kiss??

Miles looking over his shoulder: you mean before or after the hug?

Glen Powell: And I recorded this line, that said "For all you folks listening at home, this is how you bury a fossil." I wrote that and immediately after I said it, I was like "Oh my God, Tom's gonna see this." I was like really nervous, like I told you. Cos I went to Eddie's thing and I was like "Has Tom seen this yet?" bcos you can totally cut some out right? I was just ripping on that one v one with Mav. I really kind of laid it on Mav. I really went at it. Joe: You had a notebook of like 30 ideas...and i was like “Do them all.”

LOL the tgm cast and even the directors love teasing Glen cos everyone was chiming in to answer eventho the question was directed at him. xD plus they all love roasting each other too <33 hope we’ll get more of this cast together at the award shows!
