do you think mission impossible would exist in the topgunverse?

oooh. OMG what a fun question

my gut reaction was no…! because i feel if the IMF existed in the topgunverse then they already would’ve recruited maverick!! That’s not to say that maverick and ethan hunt are the same—they’re very much not… but i do mean to say that the mission in TGM IS an impossible mission!! the IMF is a militarized branch of government like the CIA or FBI… it could be well within “their interests” to hire a daredevil pilot with a strong sense of “morality” like mav, and they could make a use case argument for stealth planes the way the CIA did. lol.

i do think Ethan hunt is deeply heterosexual in a way mav is not. i also think, were they ever to meet, mav would still somehow get in his pants
