MI7 Thoughts - spoilers

you've been warned

Actually not just MI7 but pairings in general.

Why are people, both audience and film producers so afraid of or despise romance so much these days? Like, just for the sake of hating it and to be different or sth?

This also applies for happy endings.

And also pairings getting together and the story still continues instead of going down the road of "will they/won't they" / "are they/are they not" trope. Once people become a couple there are still SOOO many issues that can be explored through stories and that would have sooo much potential. Couples fighting, couples going through stressful times, working out trust, communications, etc there are tons of possibilities for further character development!!! They shouldn't overcomplicate when the characters reach a particular point where it makes sense if they get together. Case in point is Chris McQuarrie saying in an interview he didn't want it too simple for ilsa x ethan and once they get together it's kinda over (or sth similar along that line I can't be bothered to find the actual vid sorry). But I'm like!?! No?!?! There's sooooo much you can doooo, the possibilitiesssss!! 😭

If it's done right and if that's what makes sense for the characters and if they have so much chemistry, why not? Why are people seeing characters finding love/getting into a romance as a weakness? I'm seeing this reaction with female characters. Look, I agree that female characters shouldn't be brought in JUST to be a love interest, I very much agree on that 100%. But finding someone in life to love and settle down and build a family together (or even just go through life with, whatever) is very much a humanly relatable thing. I'm saying this with a strong condition: ONLY if it makes sense and if it's done right. I'm saying a female character wanting that or doing that doesn't undermine their strength or story. But if it doesn't make sense for the pairing to get together, for sure don't do it. One particular case I agree with is Gamora x Quill in GOTG3. THAT is an excellent move. They didn't end up together at the end (at least not yet) because this is a different Gamora and it doesn't make sense if they got together as quickly as that and as simple as that. I'm so glad James Gunn did that. I applaud this decision.

In terms of happy endings, I particularly hate it when filmmakers/writers make sad/tragic endings for all the wrong reasons such as "to be different / non-mainstream".

Bring back producers not being afraid of happy endings/romance. If they don't give happy ending for ethan x ilsa, idk bruh. They have gone through so much, they deserve that happiness, come on.

30 days till Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1

[youronebraincell]

I am living for Hayley Atwell's responses to the homophobic trolls in her comments😌😌

[izzypuppybutt]

OK I wanted to trust him but that last bit about "some resolution" sounds like ilsa's fate is sealed. 🥲 Obv nothing is confirmed until DR2 comes out.

But I feel like

The ONLY way they can salvage it is if Ilsa is alive, and it's part of the whole plan to fool the entity. Anything else like a flashback or ilsa leaving clues/critical info postmortem is unacceptable to me... they said they wanted her as an individual character not just a love interest but that's exactly what they did in DR1.

I don't understand why they can't just keep doing the balance right like they did with Rogue Nation and Fallout. They've done it before, bruh.

Ok, I agree and disagree with some points here. (And that's ok).

I REAAALLY feel and relate to the frustration (and anger, sadness, and disappointment) here.

Agree with the fact that I think they messed up BIG TIME. I feel like the plot quality gets sidelined to make way for the stunts and action scenes and they wanted to pack SO MUCH within 2 hours and 36 minutes. I don't get why can't they just let it run more than 3 hours if it calls for it and if it's really necessary.

The cast IS SO CROWDED in this movie and it distracted so much from and takes so much screentime from our OG IMF team, ESPECIALLY ILSA. But also Benji and Luther. Look, I understand that they wanted to lift up the new actors/actresses that joined M:I like Hayley, Pom, GregTarzan, etc etc but I don't give a shit about their characters, like?!?!

And I don't feel like this with Henry Cavill in Fallout. They weren't trying to make him as part of the main characters. But I think in this one they were trying to do that with Grace?!? Idk if that's what they intended or not but that feels like it. If they need a thief for the mission, sure, but don't give her so much screentime at the expense of our OG characters. 😩😩😩🤬🤬😡😡

And regardless whether Ilsa came back in MI8, I'm still mad that they reduced her screentime so much and we didn't get more action scenes of Ilsa alone, only the swordfight, and even then, that one sucked because she lost (purposefully or not it doesn't matter) stupidly to a fruit knife?!? It does NOT make sense. They didn't execute the (fake or real, doesn't matter) death properly. NOT IMPACTFUL at all. Hell, Julia's fake death was more impactful and emotional. The secretary's death in Fallout also was more impactful.

That said, I still do want Ilsa/Rebecca to come back in MI8. Please. I feel like they can still fix/redeem this. Although, I have a skeptical feeling. Sigh. If the cast continues to be as crowded, it won't work.

--------

Bottom line, I don't know what to feel anymore. Rebecca is still praising Tom so much in NYC premiere and she specifically mentioned that nobody talks about how good he is with character and character development etc. And she adores Ilsa so much that I think there's more to it?

Lol idk, bruh. Might just be me clowning myself.🤡🫠 Going to drown myself in fics and my own headcanons 😩🥲

The following contains spoilers of Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning part one, you have been warned.

Goodbye Mission Impossible series. Goodbye IMF team.

When I watched Dead Reckoning Part One, I was heartbroken, angry, and confused. Now a few days later, I don't have any of the above emotions, I only have infinite disappointment and feeling sorry for them, for this great series, for a group of actors who are one of the best in the world, and for those brilliant characters that the audience loves dearly.

I feel so fucking insane, How did this even occur? What the actual fuck are you doing? McQ? You're telling me this is what we've been waiting five years for?

Where is the man who can write a script with a well-conceived, plausible plot that resonates with audiences and makes them want to walk into the theater again and again? (All the people around me are saying they won't watch it again because it's heartbreaking and overlong. Box office receipts won't be low because of the dazzling stunts that will seal the mouths of people who want to give it bad reviews.)

What about not weakening one character for the sake of highlighting another?

(You mean the White Widow who became retarded to set up Grace's awesomeness? Or Ilsa, who ridiculously sacrificed her life to put Grace on the throne? The White Widow is a ruthless, highly intelligent arms dealer who trust no one. And she just casually enters a compartment with no private security. Have you forgotten how great a fighter she was in the Grand Palais in Paris? And she was instantly overpowered by a petty thief with absolutely no training. Ha, just like that. Oh, and we should thank you for interspersing a couple of giddy, goofy scenes of her, that worked. She does looked retarded and weak.

Ilsa, a world-class top agent who can kill men much stronger than her with her bare hands, who can kill Bone Doctor with a knife and beat Solomon Lane even if she's tied to a chair at first.

She's holding a sword. Using a long weapon against Gabriel's short blade. Do you have any common sense in weapons melee combat? Ilsa can cut him to pieces. But hey, don't worry, let's make Ilsa drop the long sword and spin around a couple times to get stabbed to death by Gabriel. Omg it's so smart. I don't care if Ilsa faked her death or will come back to life in MI8, you've already ruined everything.)

What about "story is king"?

（The whole movie revolves around the queen Grace and various stunts, plus the concept of AI ruling human society, and a few dry laughs. At nearly 3 hours long, it doesn't tell the story well. All the wonderful characters are completely instrumentalized. Large stretches of unnecessary dialog and stunts for the sake of stunts make the movie worse.）

Rebecca and Vanessa please don't return for the next movie, I'm shocked how you even agreed to come back to MI7? It seems like you guys think like us that they won't mess it up haphazardly. You guys exist to set someone up for greatness and your characters have been ruined. So go to a movie crew that actually values you and go work happily in a toxin free environment. I'd rather Fallout be the last in the whole series. I refuse to accept everything shown in Dead Reckoning.

You have failed to live up to the legacy and reputation that the great directors, thousands of cast and crew members have built for the series over the years. You have failed to live up to the expectations of all the IMF fans and viewers around the world. You have ruined the good characters and outstanding results you created before. You killed Ilsa and the love for this movie series in the hearts of countless audiences. That's a crime.

I wonder who will take the blame, the unknown and unrepresented Eric the old man? Or you, the man who built and destroyed everything? The cinema is dead, the last worth waiting for series is gone, and maybe that's the worst thing in this industry. Goodbye mission impossible, goodbye IMF team. When we started this journey, no one would have thought it would end this way.
