Hmmmm gaslighting.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Hahahaha trying and failing at being clever while being dodgy as fuck. And also ironically calling to stay on topic.
Typical dumbfuck.
Not only that, but Penny Benjamin is referenced a couple times in Top Gun.
If Maverick was early to mid 20s.... according to the OP, they are referring to Maverick "going ballistic" with somebody who has yet to be conceived.
You still never answered my question. Did you prematurely suck Cruises dick in that weird ass rant post about how unwoke this is and are now trying too hard to bitch about it?

Until you do, shut the fuck up and figure out what you're doing here.
Nope.
But I understand why Kelly isn't there. Movie audiences would much rather prefer to see present-day Jennifer Connelly on screen rather than present day Kelly McGillis.
It may be sad, but it's true.
Just because we can doesn't mean we should, and the movie doesn't really suffer from it.
It was deemed a nearly impossible mission from the getgo, even before selection. So I don't believe there would've been many "what ifs" as far as blame.
Like I said, Maverick was given full autonomy and authority on that aspect of the mission.
Think of it this way: Iceman had some "favortism" in selecting Maverick in the first place, no? Cyclone even says as much, but conceded that it was the decision made by the person who was authorized to make that decison.... so be it, for better or worse.
There could've easily been one, but it was just as easy to not have one. Just because we can doesn't necessarily mean we need to or should. According to the director, it was about looking forward, not always looking back. There was plenty of that already.
In fact, killing off Meg Ryan's character was an interesting wrinkle in the promise Maverick made her regarding Rooster.
Again, story didn't suffer without them.
Is there such thing as a "charge of favoritism?" What does a charge of favoritism look like? How does one prove a charge of favoritism?
Maverick was given full autonomy and responsibility for selection.
If there was a conflict of interest, then Rooster wouldn't have been considered by Cyclone in the first place.
Almost as boring as this entire topic.
I didn't mind, the story didn't really need them.
Oh well.
There's a ton of things about the Top Gun universe that doesn't translate directly from reality.
Who cares, people just need to enjoy what's on the screen.
That's exactly what I'm saying. Everybody is like "Oh my God there's a woman as a top fighter pilot, that would never happen!"
...Along with 90% of the movie.
If we all agree that this isn't real, why is everyone drawing the line at a woman or a non-white person being one of the top pilots as a matter of realism?? 🤔
There's a lot besides the cast that is make believe, including the plot.
Did you believe there is such thing as a Top Gun trophy? That's not a thing either, but I accept it as part of the movie. Explain how this is different.
It's a fictional movie. Make believe. That's what makes it movie. It's not a documentary.
🤣
And he certainly doesn't need to use it several times 🤣
Because it's a popular buzzword that he thinks he can arbitrarily toss around so he can use as a trump card in an argument. 🤦♂️ It's very similar to when women start tossing around "mansplain" when there's a disagreement with a man.
The reason they give for needing pilots instead of drones is very hand-wavy... but it still works.
Yeah I read it. You apparently have comprehension problems, fuckface.
There's nothing wrong with who they have in this fictional movie, dumbfuck.
Just because you can spell a buzzword doesn't mean you know how to use it correctly.
You made the assertion that having that particular team isn't realistic. I said, who gives a shit, this movie isn't realistic.
"But wokeism blah blah blah."
