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

[embersareout9]

Ice: I’m in love with you. Mav: We called off the prank war last night at midnight, dork. Ice: I know. Mav: Ah. Okay. Um. Cool. Neat. Very cool. Cool. Cool. Coolcoolcool-

I need to know what happened, that they were kicked off from aircraft carrier. They probably channel inner Maverick.

I'm glad that even native speaker struggles with I/me distinction.😅

(Viper invites Iceman to sit in on a meeting between Viper and other CO's) Viper: You'll have to take notes. Do you think you can keep up? Iceman(smugly): Let's just say I was president of the Stenographer's Club in high school for a reason. Maverick: Was that reason because you were the only member? Iceman:.....Yes.

this seems like a perfect place to drop an excerpt of a thing i'm writing it's an observation of maverick from jake's perspective, but it fits here too so anyways

"...nothing short of an apex predator, alternating between ruthless efficiency and the patient, methodical sadism of a cat prying the legs off an insect one at a time, waiting until its hapless prey is twitching and on the verge of death before finally mercy-killing it."

So, even when Ice is promoted out of flying full time, he's still going to have to retain his classification as a pilot, at least for a few ranks. To do this, he is going to have to book so many hours in the cockpit a year. Which means that Ice will, most likely, be trained on the Super Hornet when the Navy retires the Tomcat.

What I like to imagine: Ice, in his 40s with at least two stars, attending a flight school refresher to learn the F/A-18, along with mostly young punks. Ice doesn't say anything; he's the ranking officer in the classroom, but he asks the instructors to just sit on that information. The kids think it's funny he's in there, call him Pops, ask him how he's going to keep up with them. Ice doesn't say anything.

They're about to go up for their first more complicated maneuvers, and everyone's suiting up. The instructor passes Ice and a few other students in the hangar, and says, "Hey, go easy on them."

The kids laugh. Say they can't make any promises.

Instructor looks at them over the top of his sunglasses. "I wasn't talking to you."

The military term for what happens next is rapid dominance. None of the kids ever make fun of Ice ever again.

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..

“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

Ice, introducing Mav to his parents: This is my friend, Pete. He knows he can’t afford new clothes, so he just doesn’t grow.

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)?
