Couldn't agree more! I'm looking forward to seeing Devotion

He is more of an anti-hero. The antagonist would always be the enemy.

He definitely screams “cocky quarterback” vibes…

played the part of a douchbag perfectly

Badass. I think maverick had him on standby just in case because he knew how good he was and would save the day.

The power of good writing

Well, the answer is he is very good. 😊

Reminds me of Hudson in Aliens. Same amount of screen time and one of the best arcs in an action movie.

I use that line at work when my colleagues say something positive about me with the "good" word related in ;)

Probably the coolest phrase and my favorite one. It's calming and yet menacing.

Eh, if I was to be a bit picky, I kind of wish we got to see a scene with how Hangman goes after them. Like maybe when learning that Rooster is also down, he begins to think about what Maverick told everyone about "Never leaving your wingman." or "Don't think, just do.", and so decides to go after them. But Vice Admiral Simpson and Bates order him to stand down and that there’s nothing they could do. To which Hangman on intercoms says something like, “Seriously?” or “F*** off.”. The Vice Admirals order him him 2 - 4 more times to stand down or they will relieve Hangman of duty. To which the other Top Gun grads, witnessing the whole act, proceed to get in the 2 men’s way, giving a look that says, "You relieve Hangman, you relieve all of us.". Things are about to get confrontational, until they get a call that the F-14 Tomcat with Maverick and Rooster is coming back, to which Simpson and Bates agree to send Hangman to make sure the two get back safety. Now that would be a perfect balance of conflict, while also giving the team a moment to show that they stand with one another, even improving Hangman's arc. Heck, I can even see a moment where one of them tells Hangman, “Now we look like a team.”.

This has unfortunately become my “type” in terms of men and fictional characters. Except I refer to them as “a**holes with redeemable qualities”

Except Glen Powell adds a bit of humor to Hangman. 1:27 - 1:47 I mean, how can you not laugh at his face of undiluted cockiness just begging to be obliterated, that you genuinely feel the smirk drop down? You can even see this during the training. I swear, Powell should never throw that away in any performance he does, especially in comedies.

It is also interesting that Hangman being held back mimics what happened in the 3rd act of the original movie where Mavrick was held back. Mavrick ends up saving the day then too.

@@playerfortniter9452 perhaps that’s another one of the reasons Maverick held Hangman back. Maverick saw a lot of himself in Hangman.

Maverick was held back as well, and he was the best pilot

@@_baller There was a different reason he was held back, though, IIRC. Maverick was still dealing with the grief and loss of confidence after Goose's death, so the mission commanders were afraid Maverick might chicken out on the mission. The end result was the same with both Maverick and Hangman. Each was held back from the first team in his mission, and each took advantage of the opportunity being held back gave him to fly in and save the day.

@@10Peter25 I mean him being held back cuz his dad died...same situation, imagine that, his dad and his best friend died

He really is. His name is similar to Iceman’s but he’s got young Mavericks attitude and personality. He’s cocky and reckless. Just like the first movie in the end, Maverick got held back from the mission, just like Hangman. But they both came in at the end to save the day. I thought that was a cool parallel.

Your two sets of balls are writing paternity checks that the navy will be barely able to cash… should you accept this iceman will not live long………

@@ashspades5307 .....................

Biologically not possible 😂

Reminds me of a ken doll

Rooster: Hey, Hangman! Lookin' good. Hangman: I am good, Rooster. I'm very good.

Hangman was basically young Maverick Can't kill the guy who acted like the Main Character from the first movie

Glen Powell was devastated when he didn't get the part of Rooster, but agreed to come back when he was told they were considering him for another role. He insisted on an expansion of the part of Hangman before he would take it. Perhaps saving the day was part of the expansion.

@@JohnRoot34231 can you imagine Glen with that moustache?

@@guts-141 Maybe that was why he didn't get the part.

He got one. It’s called Devotion.

Yeah that line is so good dude

you especially see it when he says to Rooster, "you give them hell". The arrogance, at that moment, is gone.

Which is why he was perfect as a backup, he saved Maverick and Rooster!

Whats the name of this song? Cant find it

Name of the song please!!!!!

@@panchox94s13 slow ride - foghat

@@noahhofstetter5517 Thx!!!!!!!!!

we find a day-making question here.

Yaash

ofc!! too many scenepacks out there that dont have all his scenes and when i edit i like options so i wanted this to have options for everyone

Explanation for the non - use of the F35s is conveniently given in the first act of TG2. Probably would apply here too...

F-35s could've at least provided the Air Defence Cover to the striking F-18s.

Also maybe green lantern

Omg the X wing novels were my favourite it’s sad that legends has been discontinued

@@timjobs3634 I’ve read them several times, and minus Mercy Kill, I LOVE the entire set! Which one’s your favorite? Mine’s Isard’s Revenge. 🙂

Correct

He probably launched against orders, the whole movie is building up to how not sticking by the book can save lives. So there's your subtext

NAH U GET ME FR IVE BEEN SAYING THIS

If they don’t cast Glen I’m going to be so upset lmao

I was thinking the same 😂
