I’m telling y’all right tf now. By the time I finish watching all the mission impossible movies I’m gonna be able to write a whole THESIS about how much of Ethan Hunt’s very being and motivation behind everything he does is driven by how much he cares for people around him.
There’s so many times my heart just HURTS because he’s so sweet

Attraction is weird because you can have two characters, played by the same actor, both of whom are precious super spies. However, one of them I only want to protect and care for in sisterly kind of way and the other, well there's nothing sisterly about it.
Like, I love Ethan Hunt. He is attractive and caring, and I want to make sure he is well rested and looked after.
But he doesn't excite me and make my heart flutter the same way Roy Miller does.

Finished Mission: Impossible 3
That was like the best one I’ve seen so far (not counting MI:7 since I watched it out of order) I think. Also a lot more emotionally draining.
Now it’s 4am and I’m just thinking about how good of a man Ethan Hunt is and how he just cares so much for his friends and loved ones. It hurts my heart.

(Spoilers for MI7) Scroll away
So, I can't decide if I absolutely adored or hated "this" important moment in MI7.
On one hand, Ilsa Faust's death was immensely appealing to me due to story reasons. I'm a massive sucker for the tragic, doomed (but requited) romance. Her death also seemed like it was a long way coming, and she has this look in her eyes as she faces off with Gabriel that makes you think she knows it too. Ilsa appears to accept, that like Ethan, she's not leaving this job, only her being trapped is against her wishes.
Part of me wants to believe that her death was faked, mostly so that Ethan can get some of what he appears to want in earlier films (he dreams about a wedding with Julia that his job ruins). I want Ethan to be happy, and satisfied, which I don't think he can be anymore without dying during the mission.
In addition, if Ilsa's death was a fakeout, it's a massive insult to Gabriel's role as a villain and how much of a threat he poses. He's already killed one person important to Ethan, it would be bizarre for him to stab Ilsa in the chest (she's Ethan's heart) but not kill her. It also cheapens the impact Ilsa's death had on Ethan and Grace, and how it coloured the moments before see: "This is my first time in Venice" as well as the moment.
I loved the theme during Ilsa's death, loved the tension and the shots of Ethan desperately trying to protect the people he loves from the choice he makes every time. He's grown attached, which he can't help, regrets, and can't get rid of anymore. He's facing a threat that he can't possibly deal with alone, but he can't afford to lose more.
So I remain torn, unable to decide if the romantic aesthetic of Isla's death coupled with strong plot reasons is worth her dying. Can't decide if I hate her death more, as it robs both her and Ethan of the ending they seem to want.
