    Top Gun Maverick was no different.
    Maybe the most predictable movie I’ve seen in recent years. I was entirely bored (outside the scene of Mavrick proving the run was doable. Those shots through the canyon were fantasic.) But that’s not enough to redeem the rest being wholly unoriginal.

      I can’t even be bothered to see it, my friends can’t understand.

      Like what could you possibly do in a second movie?

        Oh it’s worth seeing! Its extremely well crafted from a filmmaking perspective.

        As for what you could do with a sequal?
        There are lots of interesting things. What if Mavrick dies saving Goose’s kid, or dies in the first 20 min due to a fuckup by Goose’s kid. Or what if he’s married with a kid himself and refuses to fly in combat again, when he’s forced to completes the mission, but he dies. Those would all be unexpected and interesting stories. There could be even more where he doesn’t die.
