Okay but seriously which one? Because the second one gets a lot more right than the first one. Butā¦ thereās a lot more stuff packed in there so more stuff overall isnāt entirely accurate.
Hollywood doesnāt know planes, itās just how it is. Donāt blame them, planes are hard.

I donāt think so. They need to retain as much cannon fodder as possible.
Wouldnāt be surprised if MilTok influencers who are sharing their experiences in this arena get āreassigned,ā though.

Good thing being extremely calm and effective in a crisis is a very common trait among people with ADHD. We also love a good hyperfixation on things that suddenly spark our interestā¦
Theyāre welcome to FAFO.

If undiagnosed, they absolutely can enlist and commission. Thereās an entire swath of the military community realizing they have ADHD and/or Autism and are being diagnosed as adults. But since theyāre already in, they can stay, theyāre grandfathered.

I can see how one might see that if they donāt look closer. Thatās the veneer they put on it.

Yes, I have. If you enjoy Star Wars and/or burlesque, itās a must-see.

Can confirm Empire Strips Back is awesome

Yes, definitely. I do think it was intentional given the titleā¦ but how much of those more subversive themes were intentional, I have no idea.
It was great, regardless

āDeath Star trench run but make it military planes,ā that was just the rails it was set on. Maverickās character journey was what the film is really about.
Those writers were either subversive as hell to fit all that in while also appeasing a conservative crowd, or they were lucky. Lol

Absolutely. And reallyā¦ aside from the obvious F-14 gimmick (which was just fun), every bit of fan service served a purpose in the story. Bringing in Penny, Gooseās son, they were all people heād hurt because hurt people hurt people. All people he had to answer to. That was the real plot, not theā¦

purpose, but they also had a theme of found family going, which resonates much more universally than just āfamily.ā
Itās about making it up to people he wronged due to his own BS, and him owning his BS helps him find peace, belonging, and family for the first time since his dad died.
Full circle.

It really is lmao.
And likeā¦ we didnāt need another military propaganda movie about white guys. But ughā¦ I liked it too much. Lol
I think the focus on Maverickās continuing guilt and trauma is what connects it best to the original, and makes it feel like it belongs. But idk if they did this onā¦

Top Gun: Maverick had no business being as good as it was. Especially with that much fan service packed in.
It also had an EXTREMELY different tone, which seems like it shouldnāt work, but it did. Really well.

That is also a good point, I had forgotten about that part.
Mostly because I was fretting about Dedraās stalker saving her life and I was like, āOhhhhh I really hope theyāre smarter than thisā¦ā

Yep. Not to mention itās our entertainment that helps keep us sane (and hopefully not pacified).
Love this for us.

I was sitting next to my friend who is the biggest Captain America nerd in existence and we both were like, āOkay so Anthony Mackie fucking crushed it.ā
He brought up the fighting style theyād created for Sam and I was like OH MY GOD IāM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED
comment in response to
post
I heard someone say Anthony Mackie didnāt have the charisma to be cap AFTER seeing this movie and I have no idea wth they were talking about.
Thereās hints of it there with Sam and Isaiahās interactions, but yeahā¦ itās wasted for the most part.

Also a good point. But the media we consume is the best place to insert these kinds of messages. Itās the most accessible and has the biggest impact.
Unfortunately in a hyper-capitalistic society, that means we have to pay the machine for it

I can see that. But since Cassian is definitely portrayed as an audience surrogate, Iād actually lay money it was intentional.
comment in response to
post
Itās so stupid.
Like, Captain America was pretty damned toothless. I would argue there wasnāt room for that type of commentary in a movie that is purely existing to move the overall plot forward, but why are we wasting Sam Wilson and Isiah Bradley like that
comment in response to
post
Yeah I think that may be the point of itā¦ because Cassian is definitely dismissing it. But then this kidās death is part of his radicalization process and he keeps the manifesto on him at all times.

God I just hope they do a good job. Thereās a lot of ground for them to cover. I like the way theyāre doing it, but oh god. Lol

Star Wars is out here screaming about fascism and neo-liberalism with its entire chest and I am SO here for it.
Even some arcs in The Mandalorian, and the over-arching theme of Imperial war crimes and occupation of Mandalore.

We do not have an abundance of duck eggs around here. Theyāre also not great to bake with at altitude.

Part of the reason I use my Xbox as my main streaming platform because the controller at least is a very different shape and size. Itās kind of a PITA, though

They ABSOLUTELY do and make way better baked goods. The difference honestly is one of the things that radicalized me about how shit things are here.

Yeeeeeahā¦ our birds aināt the best. Getting eggs from friends with chickens has kind of been how we roll for a while. Their birds are vaccinated, treated well, and I can make tamago kake gohan without worrying

Thank god my sister and BIL are getting chickens
comment in response to

Theyāre medium-sized, though. I donāt think Iāve ever seen anything smaller than large eggs here.
Not worth what weāre paying for themā¦ but still. š
