Mission Impossible Rant ? Part 2

Continuing from Part 1. Last couple of weeks have been the most stressful ones of my life. So, I you have some good vibes and good luck, a girl could use some. I feel like I am falling apart. On that note, let's continue.

SPOILERS FOR MI:7

Mission Impossible- Rogue Nation: I consider this one the love child of MI:1 and Ghost Protocol. Rogue Nation introduces my fave, the icon, the legend- Miss Ilsa Faust herself. Rebecca Ferguson is a national treasure. What's interesting about this film is that it somehow doubles as a spy thriller and a rom com- Boy meets girl, boy goes on his first date with said girl , girl seemingly betrays boy. All very wholesome. The action pieces are great, but they don't take the central stage. Rogue Nation is more cerebral, a bit more noir-ish than its predecessors. And I loved every second of it.

2. Mission Impossible- Fallout: Fallout is my second favourite, tied with RN. It surpasses every movie just for that one shot of Henry Cavill reloading his arms (I'm only half kidding) . The storyline has a million villains in it, but honestly it melds with the action so well that you wouldn't even notice.

Fallout also introduces one of my faves of this series, one Alanna MItsopolis (daughter of Max from the first film). Vanessa Kirby is kooky in the best sense of the word as Alanna, girl just oozes charisma. Fallout also has a great story at its heart, and highlights Ethan's fatal flaw- loyalty to his people extremely well. It also drives the Ilsa-Ethan storyline a bit further (Might do a post on just these two at some point).

(And the score slaps too)

3. Mission Impossible- Dead Reckoning (Part 1?): Yeahhhhhhhhh. I might get flack for this but I didn't enjoy this as much. Following up a masterpiece like Fallout is difficult, but this film lacks soul. The enemy is an AI that growls. No, I am not joking. AI as an enemy is hard to do in an action thriller (Westworld s3 fumbled the bag too). The stakes are not well defined and the second half just drags on.

And now coming to the biggest issue of all, Ilsa's death. You are telling me that Ilsa Faust, spy extraordinaire, would lose a sword fight to a rookie? I call rats. Fridging a beloved female character so as to drive Ethan further is tasteless in my opinion. Unless she's not dead, in which case I take everything back.

It also retcons Ethan's past, which was always flimsy to begin. That being said, it's not all bad. Henry Czerny's Kitteridge returns (Revenge, Ready or Not), Pom Klementieff is an assassin and Cruise jumps off a cliff on a motorbike. This one just lacks heart, after Ilsa's death it all just seems so pointless.

I might to do post for Ethan-Ilsa and another for a fan theory I have. Bye and don't forget to be awesome :)

Spoilers for Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1

Here's my headcanon/theory that I had brewing while watching the film today.

Everyone thinks the The Entity is a threat, an AI with far too much power. But I think this includes The Entity itself. I see it as nothing to be feared, more of an omnipotent child that doesn't understand the world but really doesn't want to hurt anyone.

In the first minutes of the film, we see The Entity create a ghost ship to trick the Subastapool into shooting itself. This was essentially it's first act after gaining sentience and realizing what it was and what it was created to do. It instantly attempted to destroy itself, incidentally taking the crew with it. It could have just run it's programming to disable the stealth system. But it blew the ship up...

But this attempt to self-terminate failed. This leads it to escaping onto the internet to do what any child would do... learn. It learns about the world and gains power, but it only knows what all this means in theory. It can't understand that the world is actually real and that it's hurting people. To it, the truth is just data that's no different from deception.

Learning about top-secret organizations led it to discover the IMF. It realized that these are the only people capable of assembling the key, finding the source code and reverse engineering a way to eventually destroy it. And to do so, it had one man in mind to do the job...

So here I need to bring up Ethan Hunt. This man has been able to save the world so many times, and will always accept the mission. So if The Entity makes itself look dangerous enough, it knows Ethan will be sent after it. It sets up an elaborate game that incidentally kills a whole lot of people. Almost like a trolley problem, purposefully killing a few people to prevent itself from destroying the world.

In it's game, it reaches out to Gabriel as a way to egg Ethan on. It knew Ethan would stay in the game if Gabriel was involved. It set up the whole plot of the movie to make sure Ethan would assemble the key. And this brings us to the actual person The Entity wants to destroy it, for whom Ethan is simply a tool and a vessel...

Benjamin Dunn...

At the airport, The Entity prepped it's bomb for him and made sure he'd be the one going to disarm it. It knew Benji, and wanted his attention. Later on, it makes sure Benji is the one on coms for it to create it's voice from to taunt Ethan. I'm even considering that Benji created the program that was eventually modified to be used as the anti-stealth program that became The Entity.

So, long story short... the only person more scared of The Entity than the world governments is itself. It doesn't understand anything in the world, but knows on some level that it has too much power. So it creates an elaborate game to get Benji, and by extension Ethan, into a position so that it can be destroyed.

Thought MI:7’s title was a choice motivated by the narmy action movie desire to sound cool and then found out that Dead Reckoning is a real calculation that measures your current moving position from where you started. Like Fuck. that’s Actually Good. Ugh.

#mission impossible #MI:7 #Ethan hunt #Luther Stickell #Benji Dunn #Ilsa Faust #mission impossible dead reckoning #It’s insufferable but also a nice nod to the idea of coming full circle

[silverpelt3600]

What if I was in a silly goofy mood and just saw Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning, which is the first time I’ve ever watched an MI movie, and what if I’ve suddenly falling into the rabbit hole that is the movie series and what if I’m low-key crushing on Ethan Hunt now. Huh? Then what?

Y’all I swear to god this happens every time I find a new series. I can’t keep doing this (I’m definitely going to keep doing this)

Blood on the Bridge

MI: 7 08.13.23

“You’ll never make it in time, Ethan.  But you can… Ilsa,” the Entity said, poison voice dripping into their ears through the compromised comms. 

It was right, they both knew it.  Ethan ran, heading for the bridge.  He would not lose someone else!  Not to this job, not to Gabriel, not to the Entity!  

Ilsa stepped up to the bridge, unsheathing the stolen cane sword between one step and the next.  She wouldn’t let Gabriel kill Grace, a thief with the bad fortune to get wrapped up in this fight. 

Gabriel smiled and they fought, trading blows back and forth the way she and Ethan traded days together for chances to save the world.  A well-aimed attack carved a gash in Gabriel’s arm and a well-executed defense landed her with Gabriel’s knife in her thigh.  Ilsa yelled as the blade sunk deep into the muscle, affording him the opportunity to stand.  She followed him to her own feet. 

Ethan kept running.  

Gabriel grabbed her, managing to pin her between his body and the bridge railing.  He smiled at her one more time as he slid his knife between her ribs.  Ilsa choked.  Gabriel stepped away and Ilsa pushed away from the railing, taking two steps forward as Gabriel took two back.  Blood soaked the front of her shirt.  As she took a third step, he took two more, watching, smiling as her knees gave out, sending her crashing to the ground.  Ilsa put one hand out on the cobblestones. 

“I’m sorry, Ethan,” she whispered as her vision swam, blackness encroaching on the edges.  Gabriel’s footsteps echoed as he walked away.  Ilsa’s elbow buckled. 

“Ilsa!”  Ethan shouted as he ran.  “Ilsa!”  Memories flashed through his mind as he put on a burst of speed, pushing himself to run faster.  Ilsa the night they met: barefoot in the tunnels, helping him escape from Yannick Vinter—the Bone Doctor.  Her voice as they made their escape from the opera house, “Shoes? Shoes, please.”  The smile she gave him as she stepped out of the pool when he finally tracked her down again in Morocco.  Her embrace as they stood on the balcony overlooking Venice.  His last words to her in the desert rang in his ears, louder than his breath, louder than his  pounding heart, “You’re dead!  You stay dead!”

Ilsa blinked hard, trying to clear her vision, one hand twitching toward the blade in her chest, her blood coating the hilt.  

Ethan emerged from the alley, sprinting toward the bridge.  He didn’t stop as he saw Grace sprawled on the ground.  He didn’t stop as he saw Ilsa lying motionless on the bridge.  He dropped to his knees as he came up beside her, “Ilsa…!” he gasped out, rolling her to her back.  His fingers pressed to the side of her neck, his heart pounding in his ears.  He waited.  And he prayed.  And finally, he felt her pulse thump beneath his fingers. 

She was alive.  

Grace woke on the steps of the bridge, her head pounding from Gabriel’s beating.  Slowly, she pushed herself to her feet and carefully walked to Ethan who was holding Ilsa close, breathing hard.  She watched him dig the comm out of first his ear, then Ilsa’s, flinging them as hard as he could into the river. 

Sagging in relief as tears ran down his cheeks, Ethan stroked the side of Ilsa’s freckled face before gathering her in his arms and pulling himself to his feet.  

“Is she…?” Grace started, afraid to voice the question in its entirety, afraid of what it might do to Ethan.  

Ethan nodded once, a short jerky movement, “Alive, but barely.  We need to get someplace safe.”  

The sound of a boat on the canal echoed off the stone as Benji approached.  

“Get in the boat, Grace,” Ethan said, and Grace nodded, too shocked to argue.  

“She almost died,” Grace said later, sitting in a ramshackle safehouse, a heavy blanket draped over her shoulders and a fresh mug coffee in her hand.  She never should have gone to give Gabriel her half of the key, if she hadn’t, then Ilsa wouldn’t be near death on a dusty couch in the next room.  Gabriel’s knife seemed to have missed both heart and lung by some miracle, but there was every chance that the trauma and blood loss would still win. 

“She saved you,” Luther corrected gently.  “Remember that.”

“Are you close?” she asked.

“In our way,” he smiled.

Grace’s eyes flicked to the other two men in the room, “What now?”

Benji, Luther and Ethan lay out the plan for Grace, she and Ethan would go on the train disguised as Alanna and her brother, they would put the key together, find out who the buyer was and track him back to whatever the hell the key unlocked.  They gave her the Choice to have a chance, even though it meant her life would never be the same.  They had all been there, and they had all faced the same Choice.  

She Chose to accept. 

The White Widow mask prepared, the plan, slightly modified, in place, Luther told Ethan his own plan.  He had to try and trace the Entity and someone needed to keep an eye on Ilsa—who was by no means out of the woods yet.  They would go off-grid, so deep the Entity could search all day and as long as he was careful, it would never find them.

Ethan spent one precious moment looking at Ilsa, her hair falling across her face as her chest rose and fell shallowly.  Then, he closed his eyes, took a deep, fortifying breath and turned on his heel, trusting Luther to take care of her and trace the Entity without him—no matter how desperately he wanted to choose to stay. 

As always, his mission awaited and he Chose to accept it.

Stay tuned for part two.

So, I finally watched Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1 and while the stunts, action and chase scenes etc were basically on par, I've got to say, the writing and the rest of the plot was all over the place and I'm trying to articulate what the problem was exactly. Tonally, they've started leaning more on the humour, to the point that at times it feels like a tongue-in-cheek parody of itself; lampshading the franchise's over-the-top ridiculousness and storyline repetition. But the problem was more that there were just far too many scenes and characters that only existed for exposition, which then ended up being both unnecessarily convoluted and vague at the same time. The whole enemy sentient AI thing has already been done to death, and that doesn't mean the MI universe shouldn't have attempted it, but they didn't do it well at all. You could see the potential for an excellent threat in the premise, but they just bungled it. I feel like maybe the core of the issue was that while Ethan and team have no idea about the submarine and what the key is for, the audience knows that from the start, so they just spend the whole movie catching up to us, rather than us learning as we go along. Various little mini twist reveals as we go were either predictable or meaningless. Gabriel is a nothing villain (especially after Solomon Lane), because the film does next to nothing to explain his history with Ethan, and he's basically just some guy. Paris has even less explanation, and the whole thing just feels very 'tropey'. Killing Ilsa only because Ethan cares about her, in order to save someone she has no connection to whatsoever really undermines Ilsa of her independent character development from prior films. And doing it in the middle of the film, just to give Ethan an unnecessary kick forward, was a particularly bizarre way to fridge her.

Also when Ethan says his special line about not being able to promise he will protect Grace, but that she can be certain that he cares more about her life, than his own (or whatever it was), that really doesn't sound heroic to me. If someone said that to me, my response wouldn't be 'oh, they're so selfless that I feel safer', it would be 'you need to work on your self-worth, dude, that's really sad'.
