Maverick was a fresh faced young (24) Captain
Don’t Navy ranks work differently to army ranks? Ie Captain is a senior officer? Ergo Maverick wouldn’t have been a captain in the first one, would he?
Also calls in to question the way the talk with Tom Cruise standing to attention in front of Ed Harris is done. Isn’t a Captain a bit high up the chain to be standing to attention getting balled out? (But also a bit Junior for someone who’s still in the military in their mid 50s.)
I can only suspend my disbelief so far…
I loved TG but I can’t see how the sequel is going to work. Hope I’m wrong.
You cannot possibly have Top Gun without an F-14 Tomcat. Fact.
This.
