Soooo.....I was scrolling the news feed at work today and saw something that, of course, made me think of you immediately.

How are we feeling about the concept of "Top Gun: the Semi Reality TV Show Based On Maverick's Wild Ass Thing From The Movie," according to the internet?

Can you believe they're doing a Top Gun 3? Top Gun: Maverick was all the "More Top Gun" that we didn't actually need.

I LOVE Top Gun. It's one of my absolute favorites. I think we all know that. It's not good! it's also bad. But I love it. I have never, ever, in my life, wanted a continuation of that story. It was absolutely pitch perfect as it is, and I know this sounds insane as a fanfic writer (i guess), but sometimes I wish people would realize you need to leave well enough alone. Sometimes a story is fine being done, or, if one must noodle, because noodling is fun, let's not make it part of the official canon.

But, no I do not want a semi-reality Top Gun show.

#the only Top Gun competition I want to see is the training and competition in the Overwatch Red Wing camp #The basis upon which Lena might be declared the greatest fighter pilot in the world #at least once upon a time #where she won 'won' the right to pilot the slipstream #and had a great time doing it!#and when everyone is taking for their insignia things like...oh THE SEA HAWK or LAMMERGEIER or GOLDEN EAGLE #she picks a sparrowhawk and a few of the others try to take the piss out of her #by painting a plain sparrow on her locker with just 'the cockney sparrow' written above it #and she goes 'perfect. common as mud and can survive anywhere. couldn't be more right' and then she of course wrecks house that day #that's how these stories work you know the beats #anyway I OBVIOUSLY DO NOT NEED THAT BECAUSE IT'S JUST LIVED RENT FREE IN MY HEAD FOR YEARS AS A NOTE I NEED TO KNOW BUT NO ONE ELSE DOES
