Top gun

A king hired a new official court sorcerer expecting a elderly white haired human in a robe not a raven haired haired 20 something riding a motorcycle in a leather jacket and aviators but he can not deny their efficiency.

Ice: I Broke the can opener. Mav: So now it’s a can’t opener? Ice: Mav: Ice: Why did I ever fall in love with you

[topincorrectguns]

Maverick: Do you sleep on your stomach?

Iceman: No

Maverick: Can I?

Not to start yapping randomly but I think there is something to be said on how certain fandom characterization of Maverick ignores the depth in his character and boils him down to a reckless, chaotic man who is very infantilized despite of him being A Grown Man. And this is largely because people buy Maverick's facade. There was a very good passage in 'Tom Cruise: Anatomy of an Actor' by Amy Nicholson where she talks about how Cruise in 1986 was portraying a man (Maverick) who himself is playing the part of a cocky man. He does not have an abundance of reckless confidence, it's an act, one that unravels when you look at his moments of vulnerability (ex. the nighttime scene with Goose). This facade is also much mellower in Top Gun: Maverick as Mav has aged, so it's actually really interesting how some people tend to lean back on TG86!Maverick's mask when characterizing him. Some things to think about

Mav *suspiciously*: "roo.. what are you planning to do?"

Roo: "hey now- 'planning!?' do you know who you're talking to?"

Mav *tearing up*: ...my son..

Google Earth saves the last photos of Ice and Bradley together. They are sitting on the porch outside of their then-house, and Tom is sipping a beer.

Bradley doesn't have many more photos, maybe a couple, after that day, but every time he googles their old address, he can find his father laughing to a kid he hasn't been in a long time and he finds himself tracing a face he hasn't seen in a long time and that he isn't going to see anymore.

But his dad is still there, on Google Earth, and saved in his phone, laughing at some stupid jokes and waiting for his other father to get back from the grocery store to start making dinner. And Bradley is still there too, just for a little longer.

Cyclone: Your insolence goes too far. Mav: Wrong. It can go a lot further.

“So here it is:

I'm not your son, you're not my father We're just two grown men saying goodbye No need to forgive, no need to forget I know your mistakes and you know mine And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes? Don't be afraid, it's my turn To chase the monsters away.”

— James Blunt, Monsters

Movies below the cut.

Iceman: It has come to my attention that you have been harassing Cyclone. Maverick: I wouldn't say "harassing" so much as persistently tormenting.

I just watched Top Gun with my family and it was hard to not rattle about every random fact I know about Top Gun. But I'm known for googling random facts about movies, so I can talk about some of them.

I know, that in dubbing they need to change some things to fit them in actors mouth, but changing iconic lines “I feel the need…” “Need for speed!” and “You can be my wingman any time.” “Bullshit. You can be mine.” makes me clench my teeth.

I also never questioned that before, but do you realise, how often are characters in jets without their oxygen masks? So can anybody who knows about flying, explain it? It is realistic or it is just for cinematographic purposes (e.g. to see actor's face)?
