Reality Ensues: Difference between revisions

Line 176:

* ''[[Deadpool 2]]'': X-Force dramatically [[It's Raining Men|do a paradrop]] into a city. Most of them die in embarrassing ways from running into the mundanities of urban life, like power lines.

* ''[[Shazam! (film)|Shazam!]]'': Sivana makes a speech to the eponymous hero, but because they are floating in the air high up and far apart, it can't be heard.

* ''[[Top Gun: Maverick]]'':

** Maverick has thus far avoided getting kicked out of the Navy despite his antics thanks to Iceman covering for him, but even then there's only so much that can be done. {{spoiler|Iceman hasn't even been dead long}} before Cyclone pulls him off the training with the admittedly reasonable pretext that he hasn't given the desired results. Later, when he takes a plane on an unauthorised flight to show that the low-level ingress in the required timeframe is actually possible despite the other pilots' hitherto failure, Cyclone makes clear to him that he should by right be facing a court martial, and that even if he's spared that, he will still be reaching the end of his career in this mission one way or another, whether it's through dying in enemy airspace or getting grounded permanently after his return.

** This film performs a [[Happy Ending Override]] on the previous one, hitting the viewer with the fact that no, just because Maverick received a pep talk and powered his way through his grief to fight doesn't mean that his issues from Goose's death are magically resolved. 30 years on, he still misses Goose, and the man's son still blames him for his role in the death.
