  Nope he literally teaches the young pilots how to do the mission perfectly then at the end he goes “fuck it” I’ll do it myself and almost get myself killed for no reason.

    I assume you meant “himself” but I am amused by the idea that Tom Cruise’s character nearly kills a single member of the viewing audience, in real life, as part of the movie’s climax for unexplained reasons.

      I think they just ended the quote too early while still relaying indirect speech

    It was already cheesy at that point, but the part where they were down on the ground & just happened to stumble upon an F-14, took that into the air & used it to defeat much newer airframes really took me out of the immersion.

    Honestly, if they’d found a ww1 byplane and the copilot had used a bucket to scoop air from the inside after they got hit, I wouldn’t have found it much more cheesy.
