For Top Gun 3 to keep the escapist appeal of the series alive, the sequel needs to follow Top Gun: Maverick in using one ludicrous franchise trope.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT For Top Gun 3 to faithfully follow Top Gun: Maverick, the sequel needs to keep the franchise’s silliest tradition going. The Top Gun movies are not designed to be taken seriously. While the character arc of Tom Cruise’s Maverick is undeniably compelling, his journey takes place in a world where empty aircraft hangars are used as classrooms.
If Top Gun: Maverick’s original sequel plans had been used, Cruise would have returned in a much smaller role and the movie would be been a more realistic, believable look at drone warfare. This would have made the reliance on nameless enemies more galling and bizarre since the sequel wouldn’t have shared the original movie’s goofy tone. However, thanks to its sunny beach football scenes and Jerry Lee Lewis singalongs, Top Gun: Maverick is just as heightened and silly as the first Top Gun.
Top Gun 3 Must Keep Its Franchise Enemies Anonymous For Top Gun 3 to keep the escapist appeal of the franchise alive, the sequel can’t have a named nationality for its villains. Despite Top Gun: Maverick’s story problems, one of the wisest decisions the franchise made was keeping the identity of its enemies anonymous. This approach stopped the Top Gun series from focusing on contemporary geopolitics, which almost always dates blockbusters terribly.
Top Gun 3 can’t give a national identity to its enemies since this robs the franchise of its magic. Even though the original Top Gun is a product of the Cold War, the movie is endlessly re-watchable precisely because it doesn’t get into the politics of the era. Top Gun’s story exists in a stateless fantasy land, whereas its competitors, like the Rambo sequels and Iron Eagle, couldn’t avoid eventually addressing real-life conflicts.
Top Gun 3 Revealing Its Enemy Country Makes The Series Too Serious Even though Top Gun: Maverick’s character drama was heavier, the franchise still needed to steer clear of anything resembling realistic warfare to maintain its sunny, fun tone. Top Gun: Maverick’s darker moments came from Tom Cruise’s character realizing that he has wasted years agonizing over Goose’s death, not his role in countless real-life wars that claimed millions of human lives.
