Top Gun Call Signs

In the actual military, no one has a cool call sign. You get your call sign from your unit, and it’s typically because of something stupid you did. So, by that logic, here are the real reasons for Top Gun call signs:

Iceman - Repeatedly slipped on the tarmac.

Maverick - CO told the unit ‘Dumb Fuck’ and ‘Shithead’ were not acceptable call signs, so Pete got to pick his own.

Slider - Walked in to a sliding door.

Rooster - Clumsy fuck who wakes everyone up in the morning.

Goose - Self explanatory.

Bob - Self explanatory.

Wolfman - Has a hairy back.

Hollywood - Uses a disgusting amount of hair spray in the locker room.

Hangman - Shitty speller.

Cyclone - Did too many barrel rolls and puked.

Phoenix - Crashed her plane/ lit something on fire.

Payback - Loses bets.

Coyote - What’s the most expensive way to kill a coyote? With an airplane. (This actually happened to a real pilot btw).

Halo - Ass kisser.

Fanboy - Owns anime figurines.

Merlin - Plays DnD.

Warlock - Ran the DnD campaign.

OKAY SETTLE IN BC THIS IS GONNA BE LONG BUT YOURE GONNA DIE. I haven't seen anyone with this specific theory so if its been said forgive me but I need to get it out.

So we all know that there's some weird tension between Jake and Bradley. It's obvious they know each other and everyone thinks it's something sexual, but I think it has something to do with shared trauma.

It's very clearly written that Hangman and Rooster are parallels to the original movie. It's even been said that Hangman was originally written as Iceman's son.

Now, everyone thinks that Rooster is parallel to Goose and became a pilot to follow in his footsteps. He is in some ways, but I believe he became a pilot bc of Mav. Think about it, Goose was a RIO and Rooster is a PILOT, like Maverick.

So to me, Rooster is more Mavericks parallel than Gooses. So Rooster/Hangman = Maverick/Iceman. STAY WITH ME bc this is where it gets interesting.

In the introductory scene, Rooster tells Hangman "the only place you'll lead someone is an early grave." and everybody's face drops, implying there's at least SOME truth to that.

NOW, in the original Top Gun, its ICEMAN'S jet wash that takes out Mav and Goose, resulting in Gooses death.

WHAT IF the same thing happened again, or something similar. What if Hangman caused Rooster to wash out or crash, resulting in his WSO's or wingman's death, JUST LIKE ICEMAN AND MAV?

In the original, Iceman doesn't want to work with Maverick and his stubbornness results in Goose's death during an exercise because he won't move out of the way. Now what is hangman known for? Being cocky and leaving his wingman hanging - aka a poor team player.

Mav even says in the new movie "Leaving your wingman, haven't seen that in a while." Because that's what Ice did to him and it ended up killing Goose.

Rooster is known for playing it safe in the air. the obvious implication is because of his dad. I think its because something happened with Hangman that caused him to be more cautious.

And lets not forget that Jake has a confirmed air to air kill, meaning he's been in a dogfight before. And who do we think his wingman was? Perhaps the bitter man with scars littering his body.

Its one big parallel to the original movie and you can't change my mind.

Ice cheats at literally every board game and it drives Mav crazy

He’s just so good at it, no one ever notices except Mav because he’s paying attention only to Ice to catch him, and he still fails most of the time

No one expects Iceman Kazansky to cheat at anything, which just makes Mav angrier because no one fucking believes him

And Ice just sits back and looks at him as he slowly descends to madness

#Ice is a cheating bastard and I know it #he’s perfected his technique over the years and he can literally cheat at anything #even things you never thought you could cheat at #he does it for fun and to drive Mav crazy #Bradley lowkey knows about it but still pretends not to believe Mav cause it’s funny #pete maverick mitchell #tom iceman kazansky #icemav #top gun #I missed my babies so much

Consistently shocked by the idea that people think Bradley Rooster Bradshaw is chill and laid back. He’s actually shockingly unchill. He is the opposite of chill. He did not inherent any of his parents chillness. He’s a loser who’s too invested in everything.

Like ya hi I’m Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw and I cut off my remaining family, surrogate father, and support system for 15 years cuz he pulled my naval academy papers because he didn’t want me to die like my biological father and because my mother wanted me to be free of the navy’s confinements and to exist outside of a system that physically uses me for their own power and political gains— gains I will never experience and feel for myself. A system that sees me as no more than a number, a soldier, something easily replaceable, as a body to be sacrificed in a war that i did not start nor will i finish.

“Bradley's chill.” No he’s not. He’s a beast. He’s a 30 something year old man whose entire purpose revolves around holding a grudge and proving his surrogate father wrong. This beast who literally said this to his surrogate father— "No wife. No kids. Nobody to mourn when you burn in." Beastly. Ghastly thing to say. 15 years and he still hates the guy who's been there for him since day one. He’s a guy who refuses to even begin to understand where Mav was coming from or to even think of what his mother wanted. He’s evil. And I love him.

Hi I’m Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw and when someone brings up a well known, easily accessible fact that my father and surrogate father used to fly together I will try to cause physical harm against them and my friends will have to physically hold me back. I’m Bradley Bradshaw and I was willing to put my entire career on the line (the one in which I put my family aside for) so I can attack and beat this guy up.

I love his big ol’ Bambi eyes… he’s evil and fucked up and he’s not chill. Yes he wears jorts and tropical shirts, but that just means he’s gay and a fucking liar. Just cuz he looks like some surfer dude does not mean that he’s actually laid back like one. He’s lying to himself— trying to convince himself he is something that he is not and never will be. He is unchill. He’s lame. He has undiagnosed anxiety and it physically expresses itself through anger and loserly-ness. He cares so much to the point of self sabotage. He will always be unchill, no matter how much he tries to change that fact.

Y’all ever want to cradle a grown man in your arms? (graphic design is my passion)

#comic sans #is this controversial #debated about posting this.. i've been sitting on these thoughts for a hot minute... but i gotta share #also this isn’t a call out to anything/one specifically. like i mean this. i just felt like making fun of him.#it's mostly just an excuse to talk about him and make that stupid photo #i shouldn't have access to photoshop #also not saying that hangman was in the right in that scene #just saying that if Bradley were actually chill… he would’ve reacted differently #like sure bradley's chill about what coffee he drinks in the morning or if lunch plans change #but he’s unchill about everything else #top gun maverick #top gun #top gun rooster #bradley rooster bradshaw #he's so annoying i lub him #bradley brad bradshaw my beloved #stopthatfool's adventures with photoshop #computer now riddled with blurry pngs #fuck it posting this

You know what I love about Top Gun: Maverick? The way they handled Phoenix.

The very fact her hair & makeup are standard regulation? That already makes her a cut above the rest in terms of how female soldiers are presented in media.

She also gets the same uniform & gear as everyone else, and the fact she’s a woman is only brought up twice - By Hangman, who’s obviously only doing it to antagonize her.

Totally 100% True Top Gun Facts Pt. 3

By-the-book Admiral Tom Kazansky has frequently asked his minuscule hellion of a wingman to rain judgement upon those who’ve annoyed him.

Soon enough, people start to catch on that pissing off the Iceman results in an unfortunate assignment with the Navy’s equivalent of a live grenade filled with silly string.

#I have many thoughts about Iceman using Maverick as his personal hitman #best part is that Mav gets paid to do it!#and if someone tries to get him in trouble boom guardian Ice #they’ve got these shenanigans down to a science #top gun #icemav #pete maverick mitchell #iceman #maverick #tom iceman kazansky #top gun humor #top gun headcanons

so are we all in agreement that mav unknowingly is the one who first initiated the relationship by always feeling the urge to annoy and be as close to ice at all times and then acting on those urges by again, unknowingly flirting with ice, and ice - oblivious to this - tries to annoy mav back and this goes on for a couple of weeks, months even, and each encounter gets a little more romantic and intimate and everyone BUT ice and mav sees this and eventually slider brings it up to ice and goose brings it up to mav that they are in fact flirting with each other which makes the both of them suddenly too aware of their previous encounters and they start to overthink - this then leads to their next encounter and the both of them still annoy the hell out of one another but now ice seems to notice for the first time, the blush on mav’s face after he replies sarcastically back to mav’s witty comment or how mav suddenly realises that ice gets just a little too close to him to be considered normal whenever they’re together

Ice, in the hospital: Can I have anything to drink, doc? Doctor: Ice chips. Mav: I'll get them! Slider: No, I'll get them! Mav, pushing Slider out of the door: Out of the way! Slider, pushing Mav back: No, you get out of the way! Bradley, entering the room right after: Hey, Uncle Ice! Got you some ice chips.

I'm sorry but as an ace person who finds people attractive once in a blue moon, the Doctor's little "ooo" after calling Issac Newton hot is very familiar

#always thought he was ace spec #me when i went through my top gun phase: “ooo! do i find tom cruise attractive? how strange! oh well ill enjoy it while it lasts”#doctor who 60th anniversary #the doctor #doctor who #doctor who 60th #acearospec #ace
