I for one welcome our new overlords of CGI explosions galore and would like to remind them that as a trusted member of this community I may be useful to round-up resisting regressives of so-called historical accuracy when subjectivism is obviously so much more objective.

[Stuart Galbraith]

I say, do it properly and give it to Michael Bay.

[BansheeOne]

Hell, even the Midway filmed in the 60s focused on the security concerns of Japanese-Americans. It wouldn't be much of a stretch to focus on that more now.

 

IIRC, there was a graft-on relationship between a USN officer and a Japanese-American girl whose family was affected by the round-ups.

 

As for possible offense at the lack of LGBTQWERTY inclusion, I think that since Emmerich is gay he is under no pressure to prove anything, and there's no need to be pre-emptively out-offended by the potential future offended.

[Stuart Galbraith]

We are missing the obvious solution to this problem. Nimitz's proclaimed undying love as a naval cadet, for a young Japanese naval officer whose name was Isoruko Yamamoto.

 

Seriously though, is there a blog anywhere on the making of this? Some of the mock ups will presumably be interesting if nothing else.

I'm a bit concerned about this Top Gun sequel. I hope it doesn't get the Star Wars SJW treatment and they decide to double down on the 80's macho cheese. That's what made the movie so great in the first place.

 

What they need to happen is for the start of the movie to be some kind of high tech F-35 strike on North Korea or possibly some kind of generic Middle Eastern country. The F-35s go in and get shot from the sky by some kind of Chinese wunderwaffe.

 

For various complicated reasons, somebody decides that the USN has become too reliant on technology and that they've lost the edge. Furthermore, for reasons that aren't entire apparent, Pete Mitchell is the only guy who can save the Navy from itself and show them how it's done. They send Viper to go and find him but it turns out he's quit the Navy and is running a crop dusting business in between getting wrecked in a bar to console himself over how Kelly McGuiness is now a fat lesbian. Viper tries to talk him into returning to fight for his country one more time but Maverick broods a bit and says he's never coming back as he's lost the edge now. As he's getting hammered in the bar that night, he sees on the news a live story about how another US strike on Dirkadirkastan has been shot to pieces and he picks up the phone and calls up Viper.

 

Next scene: Maverick gets taken out into the desert by Viper. In a dusty corner of AMARC is a shape under a tarpaulin. Viper pulls off the tarp and underneath is an F-14. Under the cockpit, Maverick sees his name and the name of Goose. His face hardens in manly resolve.

 

Some kind of gigantic air battle ensues, Maverick leads in the strike that takes out the nuclear plant just in time and saves the day. Everybody rejoices, the F-35 is cancelled and Grumman gets a contract to re-equip the entire navy with Super Tomcats.

 

The end.

 

I don't know about anybody else, but I'd watch the shit out of a movie like that.

[Stuart Galbraith]

I dont know why they didnt bite the bullet, and do a prequal based on Mavericks dad. I guess a distinct lack of flyable F4's is probably one problem, though it wasnt till a couple of years ago.

 

MegaTomcats, pickled at Area 51 by the same people whom came up with the Megafortress. Hmm. Nah completely unrealistic. You could never get the USN and the USAF to play nicely together.

Plenty of possiblities for Gay Volleyball here. Sure to be an Oscar winner for Diversity Awareness.

[toysoldier]

You know, there's nothing gay about Volleyball. If anything is the manliest sport ever, no touching, no rubbing, no piling on, no butt slapping. Only fencing and track sports are manlier.

[Stuart Galbraith]

Sure, I guess the oiling up was just to make them go faster.

That's entirely an Air Force thing. There's no oil in volleyball.

Maverick gets attached to a launch rail and is flown to Dirkistan where the Superbug launches Maverick to destroy enemy bunker.

Hitler was a big fan of Volleyball. Jus' Sayin.

I think it may be better than anything Hollywood comes up with.

[Adam Peter]

After Top Gun, Maverick finds out that his way is the carpet bomber way, starts a crop dusting business because the AF can only offer fighter-bombers and PGMs.

Evil Kim tricks Trump to share the plans of the F-14 in exchange for the nuclear disarming, and the Norks start mass producing it. Lockheed Martin successfully convince the Senate to fund a brand new stealth fighter, which is capable to engage the Very Advanced Nork Threat.

The threads entangled when Maverick and friends penetrate a Monsanto facility, because that company endangers the wormbomber business. The leading Evil Lawyer works for LM, too. In the documentations they found the documentations of the Senate approved LM project. The first five future milestones are only announcing delays and asking for more taxpayer money.

They find that the current fighter-bombers are systematically hindered by malfunctions to channel the money to the new plane. To counter this, they steal an F-15X prototype and arm it with spiced up AIM-120Ds.

The movie is advertised as 100% real, so they kill all Nork planes with BVR launches. All the planes in the movie fly straight for best camera angles, the combat is CGI cockpit recording.

Mountain biking is not a sport, mountain biking is the way of the wheel warrior

[Stuart Galbraith]

After the events of Top Gun, Maverick is transferred, and after enhancing the pentagons logistic capability (Rubber Dog Shit out of Hong Kong goes up 200 percent) is transferred to a department dealing in procurement of 200 dollar toilet seats and diversity awareness. Slowly drinking himself to death in desperation at what he has lost, he is discovered naked and covered in blue paint on the Pentagon Lawn by Chuck Norris, whom takes pity on him and has him head up a military unit of military has-beens, dedicated to making America Great Again by Bombing Libtard news agencies across the country back to the stone age.

 

There, ticked nearly every box going, I didnt even have to dip into the murky underworld of same sex Volleyball.

Now we're talking. You missed the bit where Maverick has to fight his way through the entire Chinese air force in his F-14 so he can drop Chuck Norris over Pyongyang to single handedly assassinate Kim Jong Un in single combat.

[Stuart Galbraith]

Im sure I can pencil that in somewhere. Probably somewhere between the blue buttocks and the 200 dollar toilet seat combat scene? Im flexible over such matters.

That debacle at the beginning would never have happened if they were flying Typhoons. Just saying....

That's a fan-made trailer. The first trailer for the film is apparently due out next week when the star makes an appearance on one of our morning talk shows. The above trailer features scenes from movies like Ender's Game (the sequence you refer to) as well as from game commercials (there are several scenes from this trailer for ODST, set in the Halo universe - amazing song in that trailer, btw).

Ah, my bad.

 

Still, it features Brie Larson in a figure hugging outfit. Im hoping nobody feels shortchanged therefore.
