Top Gun Maverick was a MUCH better movie than I anticipated. So much so that I felt I needed to do a theory on it. What are we theorizing about? The enemy of our protagonists. You see, they never actually TELL US who they are fighting. So, I'm going to figure it out for myself! Get ready to SOAR into some secrets!

Fun Fact: There is (or at least was) a hot dog stand in the center of the Pentagon, and was one of the busiest parts of the building. It was so busy that the Soviet Union thought it was the entrance to a secret underground bunker, and as such constantly had an ICBM pointed straight at that one hot dog stand.

Matt: "I'm also going to add China" Ten seconds later Also Matt: "We can immediately eliminate China" Love it 👍
-
I’m really hoping someday we’ll get a theory on how Maverick survived being ejected out of an exploding jet going Mach 10. I’m so certain it shouldn’t be possible but I’d love to have it explained
-
When I saw the Tomcat, I immediately knew it the Hidden Enemy was Iran.
-
Fun Fact! The original Top Gun is a movie you will see at least three times a year every year if you are ever stationed on a Naval Aviation base or carrier.
-
There's no way Matt isn't on the CIA watch list.
-
When I saw the Arstotzka symbol I was like “GLORY TO ARSTOTZKA” lol
-
I thought the enemy was Arstotzka from Papers, Please. The insignia on the enemy 5th gen fighters really looked like their flag and the Eastern European setting of the country can match the setting of the movie
-
I’m half-Iranian and my first thought after seeing the movie was…”uh yep, that’s Iran all right” glad to know MatPat thinks the same 💀
-
The sweat issue in the original is a legit thing: they’re in the middle of the desert and gov buildings that likely don’t have AC or in the heart of an aircraft carrier in the Pacific Ocean where the functionality of any AC on the boat is definitely questionable.
-
Matpat is over here proving why the military releases only minimal information for the public 💀
-
The fact that they said that f-5s were migs is crazy
-
As someone who works in the theaters: I say that normally movies have a falloff period of 3 weeks where numbers go down. Top Gun had over 2 months before it would even remotely fall off. It’s still going big.
-
This movie was the first movie in a long time that feels like a blockbuster. Practical really has a difference
-
Mav actually has a 3rd mef patch on his jacket, which made the whole korea thing in the first one a little more obvious than you might think. Because the 3rd mef or (marine expeditionary force) is located in Okinawa Japan. Sooo that means it's possible he was on the 31st meu at the period the first movie is set. (I know he is a navy pilot and not a marine, but I figured it's a way to connect the dots.)
-
I feel so smart, after watching this movie I was thinking about what country they might have been fighting, and I went through a pretty similar mental checklist and came up with Iran, now I'm watching this months later and feel like I'm way ahead of the curve.
-
I had thought Iran was the hidden enemy, not just because of the nuclear facility, but as a kid playing with his toy airplane, my favorite fighter jet: the Tomcat f-14. Iran is the only country on the planet that still has that aircraft in use.
-
Watched this movie with my parents (we're iranian). When it got to the scene of them explaining the geography and political situation me and my dad looked at each other immediately and said Iran.
-
Fun fact for anyone who is unaware. The mission can and would be carried out by 5th gen fighters such as F22 and/or F35. However both of those planes are single seat. Since they had the actors in the Jets literally flying they had to change it to F18s which are 2 seat configuration for obvious reasons
-
The one check box you forgot to account for is pilot training. There is no way Iran has skilled enough pilots to maneuver the enemy fighters they way they did, even if they are 5th generation.
