Top Gun: Maverick

@Jimmy McGill is correct that we do not have manned aircraft that are currently hypersonic since the acceleration or deceleration would exceed human limits and scramble the occupants
Just as a clarification, we accelerate astronauts to Mach 25 to meet with the ISS with no issues. The RATE of acceleration is the key. At a constant acceleration of 1g, you can approach relativistic speeds (assuming unlimited fuel) and, to you, it’ll feel like another day on Earth.
 
It was entertaining. Not good, but entertaining. Kind of like gladiator 2, but better.
Speaking of Gladiator 2… that was mediocre. Had so much potential and they veered off course. They should have had Lucious be sent off and then come back to kick the bad guys ass vs him coming back to fight the guy banging his mom. The two weird emperors were not needed and the whole slave/gladiator owner rising to the top of the Roman Empire was dumb. Should have just kept it to Lucious returning to save his mom and the people of Rome.

Wait a fictional movie isn't real? STFU??? I can't believe it.

So there isn't a dinosaur park I can go visit with real dinosaurs? I can't become friends with an avatar? Next thing you know your going to tell me John Wick didn't really kill 200 people.

There are also no nanny robots that look like Megan Fox that offer the sex.

Hollywood offers us all an apology.
 
"Top Gun: Maverick" didn’t just bring people back to theaters; it reminded us why we go to the movies in the first place. At a time when the world was craving connection, hope, and triumph, it delivered all three in spectacular fashion.

The visceral thrill of the aerial dogfights was matched by the film’s emotional core—a story about legacy, mentorship, and pushing limits. It was as much about human resilience as it was about adrenaline, and the result was a shared experience that reignited the communal joy of cinema.

In a world still recovering from isolation, "Maverick" proved that movies could do what nothing else can: bring us together, lift us up, and make us believe in the power of storytelling again.
 
Movie could have had better sounds (this one is still wrong though).

Most humans can sustain south of 6g's in terms of acceleration and deceleration. That's taking your body weight and multiplying by 9.8 if you were in metric numbers.

6g is multiplying your weight by six, in metric or imperial.

1g is 9.8m per second acceleration
1g is 32ft per second acceleration
 
It wasn’t the 60 year-old O-6 that did it for you?
JFC! Didn't you watch either of the movies? He was a 60 year old junior officer because the GD starched shirts cared more about snappy salutes than buzzing towers and banging admiral's daughters. They kept him down.

I liked it. In IMAX, it was stunning.

Don’t forget the situation with his pops.
 
I know right, I mean how can he not get hurt by a crow bar. That's just crazy, that would never happen in real life!!!!!!!! wait, it's not real life, it's a made up story. STFU?
I can suspend disbelief for things that are consistent to the story. Superman isn't going to get hurt by a crowbar. Sure - makes sense.

But Christopher Reeve also made Somewhere in Time. He gets a pocket watch from an old woman who asks him to come back to her. He finally figures out how to travel back in time to meet her as a young woman. They fall in love, he gives her the watch, then, for some reason, he returns to his present and loses her. The sticking point is the pocket watch...she gave him the watch as an old woman. He goes back in time and gives HER the watch so she can give it to him in the future. Where the hell did the watch come from? It just travels in a loop with no origin. Even if it wasn't an awful movie, that would have derailed my ability to suspend disbelief.

You just called Superman an awful movie? You SOB.... fight bar right f**king now. I'll be the one at the end of the bar with the crow bar waiting on your ass!!!!!!!
 
and you can make fiction and make it... you know. fiction. because it's not real. it's made up. not sure why that's so hard to understand.
What really bugged me in game of thrones was when Dani was riding drogon, and she clearly would have been thrown off him as he beat his swings heavily trying to gain altitude after he blasted swarms of the army of the dead with magic dragon fire breath. Flight mechanics and physics were so off and untrue to reality I had to turn it off.

Never saw GOT but I can see where that unrealistic situation would turn you off.... lol

Technically, navy Commanders(O5) and above are considered senior officers. FYI.

Don't watch Predestination with Ethan Hawke then. He's his own father and mother and the one who facilitates his upbringing, conception and circular life. He has no beginning, no end and comes from nowhere. You'd hate it. Lol

Not so fast, mon frere! Put me in a multiverse scenario a la Deadpool v Wolverine and this is a plausible scenario. It would depend on the set up. Deadpool - were he not in a committed relationship - could bang Lady Deadpool to produce Baby Deadpool no problem. 😁
