Is "Top Gun: Maverick" a Fighter Film Copied from Tom Cruise’s Original Classic?

Tom Cruise’s "Top Gun: Maverick" has been one of the most anticipated movies of 2022, with a wait of nearly 36 years since the release of the original "Top Gun". The new film’s director, Joseph Kosinski, has revealed that it took inspiration from the iconic scenes and characters of the 1986 original, sparking debates among fans whether it’s a true successor or a blatant copy of the classic.

Understanding the Inspiration

Kosinski has been quite clear about the creative approach behind "Top Gun: Maverick". He drew heavily from the original script written by Jim Cash and Jack Epps, with whom he worked closely to refine the story and characters. In an interview with IGN, Kosinski admitted, "We started by watching the original movie again and reading the script, trying to get a sense of the characters, the relationships between them, and the mythology of the Navy Fighter School." He emphasized the goal of paying homage to the classic while creating something fresh and exciting.

Sharing Characters and Scenes

Given the original "Top Gun"’s success and memorable moments, it’s hardly surprising that some characters and scenes have been replicated. Maverick, played once more by Tom Cruise, reprises his role as a seasoned fighter pilot taking on a new role at the Navy Fighter School, with the likes of Tom Kazansky (played by Jon Hamm) as an astrophysicist trying to displace manned combat with drone technology, echoing the same technological rivalries in the first film. Other similarities include aerial sequences, flight instructors Hangar Flyboys (led by Lewis Pullman), and, most noticeably, Kenzé’s "Feel The Need" theme, revisiting the classic soundscapes that electrified fans three decades ago.

A True Sequel or a Rehashing of Classic?

Whether or not "Top Gun: Maverick" amounts to a worthy successor largely depends on personal perspectives and preferences. Those craving another ’80s revival of a classic story will relish the updated settings and revamped characters, particularly when faced with a looming menace – a mysterious Iranian bomber known as the "Sierra Hotel" (not to be confused with F14-F1-19_**(H)).

Inversely, detractors arguing against the sequel point towards excessive familiarity and, conversely, neglect to push boundaries or subvert classic themes. One glaring area for criticism is the continued male-dominated, adrenaline-packed Top Gun: Mavericks, Aviation-centric film genre, failing to deliver more gender-inclusive narratives. By replicating what made the first a masterpiece, Maverick can also be perceived as contentedly recycling an aged magic without sufficient creative depth. However, there lies truth to Kosinski’s ambition in maintaining faithfulness: The essence of what propelled ’86’s classic hasn’t faded with the tides of time, providing sufficient reason to believe his reinventing (albeit updating) won’t disown loyal "Top Gun" devotees while inviting fresh admirers as well.

Additional Critical Reception and Reboot Debates
