I'm so glad that they were able to get Val Kilmer back as Iceman, and incorporated his real life illness into the script. Such an emotional scene.
I’m glad they didn’t tried to hide his sickness and make him look better. This is what it is. It can happen to the best. He still had a big impact on Maverick and played his part
And what better way to finish his story than to make him a HIGHLY respected Admiral. Everyone refers to him with such reverence. And Maverick has him in his contacts as "Ice" doesn't get more personal
They couldn't have written in his real condition into the movie any better.
Tom cruise look younger than Val … wtf
@@ghostland8646 Yeah, original top gun was like 40 years ago and man barely ages. Looks like joining scientology protects you from aging 🤣
Jk. He might took plastic surgery to keep his youthful appearance.
This is how you show RESPECT and HONOR for legacy characters and their relationships. Beautiful scene.

At the end of the scene, when Val asks, “Who’s the better pilot? You or me?”, you can see in his face Iceman, young, confident, and in all his glory. Thank you, Val, for bringing such a terrific character full circle. You are an incredible actor❤
I always thought ice was the better pilot. Mav was the better dog fighter but ice faced down 6 migs solo before mav showed up to help him. That’s damn great flying
Also, did you notice the Top Gun Trophy on the wall behind Maverick? Ice was always better.
Damn you
Comparing Ice and Mav as pilots is pointless IMO. It is like comparing a classical musician and a jazz musician. They are two different skillsets. Both were the best at what they did.
@@semperaugustus661 Wrong. Ice and Mav were (metaphorically) playing the exact same music. In that sense, it is reasonable to wonder which between the two is the more skilled.
The fact that they brought back Val Kilmer acknowledging and appreciating his chemotherapy and two tracheotomies through his lengthy battle with cancer is such a respectful gesture beyond the realm of acting that is heartbreaking and wholesome at the same time
thank you for this comment. I was wondering what the background was to the character's health condition.
If he hadn't come back, this movie never would have happened. Tom Cruise more or less said that if Val was out, so was he.
If I remember right, this was the first time Val had actually spoken since his surgeries.
So true. Years from now people will not appreciate the harsh reality, but a wonderful scene in spite of it!
akso, willow was awesome

@@timothyq.5070 if Bob Kane gave him his seal of approval, then he WAS Batman.
By far and away my favorite scene in the movie. Two guys who in their uber-competitive youth looked and felt indestructible are facing the inexorable reality of time, now well aware of both their weaknesses and mortality. Despite that, they're still able to draw on their mutual professional respect and genuine friendship. It's really a beautiful ode to the inevitability of growing old.
Well put Jimbo.
Exactly my point, Jimbo. Both of them look vulnerable as time goes by.
Father Time is undefeated
@@jimsmith9853 It turns once arrogant young Iceman into old, wise and mature ones.
How many drafts did it take to finally arrive with that comment ? Tell the truth . .
I teared up in the theater when Val Kilmer started speaking. What a wonderful scene, and a thoughtful way to incorporate Kilmer's real-life illnesses into the script.
I was just watching it at home when they happened and i was so shocked.
Loved it

It's genuine agony tbh
It was Iceman's fault Goose died anyway... Really Maverick didn't do anything wrong on the jetwash.
Even with his cancer problem, Kilmer’s still got it all these years later. Mad respect to him
Tom: I need Ace in the movie...
Val: I'll be your Huckleberry!
Val Kilmer is a great actor. After all the hell he’s been through, and he put people through. He feels guilty of all the stuff he said.
@@luisjaime2567 What did he put those people through?
@@JLOCC23424 I like his wife and other people he was with, and other actors he worked with
@@JLOCC23424 He has a reputation for being difficult to work with; I can't remember all the folks who have said so off the top of my head.
the fact that Val Kilmer worked SO HARD , to get those lines done right and without the use of his voice box is insane . it took a lot of training , a lot of pain , and he made this scene all the more WONDERFUL for it . Even after everything he’s been through , Val Kilmer’s still got it .
Did he actually say those lines? I looked at some interviews and it didn't sound like him in this movie. I think they used an AI for his voice
It’s his voice. They processed it to make it sound clearer

I didn’t feel it
Hated top gun
@@nathangallegos9304 I am not surprised.
Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil is a perfect example of that... It's literally one of the *ONLY* video games that made me cry.
Tom didn’t want to do this sequel without Val in it, and it was definitely the right call because it’s such a powerful scene.
Tom knew how to play Ice here, and it worked brillantly
In the movie, Ice backed Mav. In real life, the roles are reversed; Cruise backed Kilmer, insisted that he appears in the movie regardless of his condition.
It’s like poetry. Real life imitates fiction or the reverse is true. That’s awesome.
@@SARGEHALO666v2 it rhymes
Kilmer is very lucky that Tom Cruise loves him as a person and respects him as an actor. Not everybody can say that, Tom is very though regarding his job and when he doesn't like someone he doesn't hide it. But it's pretty obvious his admiration towards Val Kilmer.
After fighting stage 4 cancer, watching this makes me wanna cry. I am wishing Val the absolute best in his recovery. I know how hard it really is after losing over 7 inches of my small intestine and having to adjust my diet around it, the pain and discomfort in my right hip, all of it. Even after 2+ years I still get pain and all that. ❤ We love ya Val! ❤
Stay strong brother
Bless you, MM.
You are a fighter! NEVER STOP FIGHTING!
@@MG-fl3hs ❤Ty my dude! You too!
Keep living and fighting and do your best to live your life to the fullest!
That wasn't acting,. that was real heart emotion.
If Ice had started crying too I would have bawled my eyes out
The emotional chemistry between Maverick and Iceman is phenomenal and it's a reminder that time can change you.
Can? Does.

I remember reading that Tom C lobbied to get Val in the movie. Even INSISTED that they write him in. They didn't want to do it but Tom would not take no for an answer. IMO, it makes the storyline.
Time is our worst enemy
Lol ok
One of the best reunion scenes between characters I've personally seen in a while. The right amount of dialouge, nothing too sappy, and the appropriate expressions on the faces to deliver a emotional reconcile.
And huge props to the unit known as Val Kilmer for being willing to be the film in spite of his illness.
It seems Tom cruise had insisted that Val be in the movie,
Tom cruise looks almost the same, Val kilmer looks like he was run over by a jack daniels truck
The actual health of Val Kilmer really fits in well to the movie.
Where is everyone else
@@ussr5047 Some are officers, some have moved onto the private sector in aviation and test-piloting, a few lost their lives in combat, and others have retired altogether.
This scene was heartbreaking. Two of the finest aviators Top Gun had ever produced sitting in the same office. Once bitter rivals, now warm friends. And the emotion and pain Mitchell showed could ONLY be shown to one of equal stature (not rank) to him. Iceman saw his pain, a pain lasting over 36 years. And in the only token of respect Ice could give such a decorated fighter pilot was "The Navy needs Maverick, the kids need Maverick, that is why I fought for you all these years."
Iceman showed so much admiration for Maverick in that simple statement, knowing how much pain he himself was in. And saying this from a dying man. That is something anyone with any feeling could treasure. Maverick at that point realized he owed Ice so much. And if he pulled this mission off, it would be the thanks Ice would have deserved.
You know its just a movie right?
@@ADHDVLOGS This is a nice comment. Let's not ruin it.
@@ADHDVLOGS yeah it's a movie... and a damn good one!
Lololol...u kno its a movie right..I agree..
@@ADHDVLOGS you don’t understand do you,,, this is very heartbreaking and a perfect way to incorporate Kilmer’s illness into this movie
Iceman is a Wingman to us ALL. Cheers to a great Actor. You're one of the Dam Few sir.
Word on the street is it was emotionally hard for Val to do this scene, Tom had to convince him. However that happened, tears filled my eyes from watching this, it's just beautiful timing. Val Kilmer, you are the man! I love you buddy, thank you for everything you did for the movies I love!
Imagine the professionalism that takes. To not have a voice and to take on a character that might actually face that reality in his future. My respect for VK took on a whole new level. This scene was oscar worthy IMHO.
Cruise kept Val entertained and at ease between takes
Batman and Jim Morrison! Legendary actor.
@@juniorfan7a Don't forget his absolutely legendary portrayal of Doc Holliday in Tombstone.
@@thisismyyoutubecommentacco6302 hey don't forget real genius that movie was hilarious and I still laugh at it to this day
I just love how Iceman went from "You are everyone's problem, that's because every time you are up in the air you are unsafe, I don't like you because you are Dangerous" to "The Navy needs Maverick, The Kid needs Maverick, that is why I fought for you. That is why you are still here!"
He's still dangerous!!!!!
....but he can be my wingman any time.
@@bricksandwindows Just gotta learn to aim that danger. Like on the Claymore mine - front towards enemy!
One person's Maverick is another person's angel or devil
And that's what makes this relationship between Iceman and Maverick all the more impactful. We can see how they both grew up together, from the beginning to the end of their careers. The sentimentality of a whole lifetime condensed into two movies, two masterpieces at that.
@@ComedyLoverGirl yeah, we saw how immature they are when they were younger, but so much wisdom in them now that they are older
touchy scene. I think they both know that this is the last time they will see each other. a great goodbye scene
It feels amazing how Maverick's greatest rival became his shoulder to cry on. Loved how Iceman was there for Maverick and reached out to him.
Iceman had mavs back all these years.
maverick dint see and know it, from a macho airplane fighter, to a wise navy admiral how now helps maverick in time of need@@geoffreydy9739
@@geoffreydy9739Maverick had his back too. If Iceman needed Maverick he would have been there for him guaranteed.
Yup loved how they paid it off as a deep and beautiful friendship
Iceman got that one kill in TG, because Maverick came in and shot down those other 3 MIGs
It's likely that incident put Iceman and Maverick in a good light (actual air-to-air kills are rare for the USN and USAF after the Vietnam war) and Iceman managed to parley it into a fast-track career path to Admiral, unlike Maverick
So Iceman likely feels that he owes Maverick for all he managed to get today, because if it were not for Maverick he would have been shot down by 4 MIGs that day
Not only is Val Kilmer’s performance here incredible despite his actual real life condition, that although it has been 36 years since Goose’s incident, his death still visibly haunts Maverick in such a huge fashion when it comes to Rooster.
It's never really said or shown but...I think Iceman feels responsible just as much as Maverick does in Goose's death. It was HIS wake after all that caused the spin. Maverick kept telling Iceman to take the shot, but he didn't because he wanted to wait, which wasn't a bad idea. They weren't in a real combat situation after all. But the next thing he knows he hears Maverick and Goose sounding way too distressed for it not to be real and looks out the canopy glass to see his wingman going down. And all he could do was send the mayday and watch as the plane spirals out of control as it goes down. He had his problems with Maverick, but Goose wasn't a part of it.
Yes exactly I always thought that myself!
“Whose the better pilot? You or me?”
“Let’s not ruin this, it’s a nice moment” 😂
This is how you bring back legacy characters, in a truly respectful and heartfelt manner
1:16 I LOVE the double meaning of this line, since we also know that Tom Cruise would not have made this movie if Val Kilmer hadn't agreed, or was unable, to reprise his role as Iceman!
I'm going to bet the hug between the two of them was 100% Genuine. How wonderful is it that they managed to get Val into the movie with the reality of his illness front and center. Well done Val and Tom
I heard that Tom openly told Paramount that he would not do Top Gun: Maverick without Val.
"Who's the better pilot?"
Man that hit really deep.
Uhhh, are you like 19 or something?
@@BudFuddlacker Thanks for thinking I'm young but no
@@brianchua4240 how does the least emotional line in the entire screen “hit really deep”?
@@BudFuddlacker It's a reference to an original line he had in the first movie, back when he still had his voice.
@@BudFuddlacker I think it has less to do with the actual line itself but the implications behind it. It's the only line in the entire interaction that references the rivalry turned comraderie between Ice and Mav in the first movie.
"You are still dangerous ". "You can be my wingman anytime".
Iceman: “You wanna know how I’ve managed to live this long?”
Maverick: “Yes! How?”
Iceman:”BECAUSE I’M BATMAN!”
Batman and Robin gets unfairly crapped on. I LOVED that movie growing up!
@@OkieAllDay Val Kilmer was in Batman Forever.
I could see him as a older Bruce Wayne
😂
Even funnier (or not so funnier) when Val Kilmer had to use Bale's Batman voice after his throat cancer surgery
This is easily the best scene in the movie. The amount of emotion Val radiates with just his facial expressions is incredible, and Tom giving his dramatic all when he could've just phoned it in. Both men deserve an award.
Many awards!
This by far is Tom's best dramatic performance in recent memory. His acting throughout the movie conveys a man tortured by guilt all his life after he lost his best friend. It's is so heartfelt you really feel sympathy for his pain.
And he pulled it off with relatively minimal dialogue at that.
That phrase “it’s time to let go” describe Mav so well. He’s been holding on to that pain and guilt for so long. Ice knew that, he’s known for the past 30 years. And for the sake of the mission, and for Mav, he wants him to be able to move forward. A true friend.
When Iceman said to maverick: the navy needs maverick.
The kid needs maverick give me goosebumps
This scene alone is why I loved this sequel more than its predecessor. When you see two guys rival and dislike each other at first but over 30 years become close friends and have each others back there is something so special about that and that is why this scene is amazing. Iceman disliked Maverick at first but once Maverick had Ice's back Ice had his and kept him in a career in the Navy and the friendship lasted for over 30 years. I dont cry often but almost came close in this scene. The characters growth was sensational. Val keep fighting the good fight buddy and I will be your Wingman anytime.
The drama was so much more heavy in this one. No matter how strong you are, time will have you eventually. And seeing these two after so long hits hard.
I guess Kelly Mcgillis wasn’t good enough for the sequel huh
Same here.
@@laurocoman EXACTLY!! REALLY hard, and so much reality tied in. What a courageous man Val Kilmer was to come back and perform this character in spite of all of the pain His body was going through.
@@texasrockshillcountry6574 I like how Tom Cruise didn't even try to hide his age with make-up or using juuuuust the right angle frame. Both actors showed up as they are, aging men. Some people age more gracefully than others and that's fine.
From “I don’t like you because you’re dangerous.” all the way to “The Navy needs Maverick.”
The evolution of the bond between these characters is epic 👏🏻
Maverick represents change and uprooting the status quo and how old sailors react to it. Now he has to foster that growth in new pilots.
What about the Iraqis? Or the Afghan people? Or Russia? Or North Korea? Or China? Or Europe? Or Australia? Or any of the other enemies of America? Where's there Maverick?
@@cashewnuttel9054 Would be shot down or destroyed in an air raid by NATO
wonderfull 1986 now 2022 al the high tech stuff but the emtion is sooo pure
As it turns out, being a fighter pilot is dangerous
"hows my wingman?"
thats all it took, tears started flowing
I was in tears when they hugged. Thanks for the memories.
That scene, above all else, made this movie. It really tugs at the heart strings. Cherish your friends.
That’s exactly it. It’s relatable. Everyone can relate to having lost a love one and not being able to let them go. Or not knowing how to do that. It’s sorta beautiful and so human.
I'm a grown man and this scene almost brought me to tears. A very emotional scene.
"One last thing... who's the better pilot? You or me"
"This is a nice moment. Let's not ruin it."
Notice the Top Gun trophy on the wall behind Maverick? Iceman always was the better pilot. But the Navy needed Maverick more than Ice; only a pilot with Maverick’s level of skill with tenacity could pull the mission off.
@@gcHK47 Ice and Maverick were always close to each other atop the leaderboard throughout their time at Top Gun, and Maverick may have been able to pass him if it weren't for the downward spiral (no pun intended) that he went into after Goose's untimely death.
For an “action movie”, an incredibly emotional scene, and Val’s real life illness adds to the gravitas. Also, the idea of rivals having such mutual respect and love for each other is a message we really need right now.
They cannot know how much this scene means to us. I couldn't avoid my tears when realised they had been friends for all this time and Iceman always got his back. Maverick lost his best friend that he will never forget but still, he gained another lifelong friend which started out rival. This is so touching and when he died... Ughhh
Lundy Thankyou You Truly Get This!!!! Bless You!!!!⚘️
As emotional as this scene is, Val Kilmer looks really happy at 2:35. Love this scene and the movie
For the two of them to stand there and do that scene after all those years and everything that they've been through. I truly believe that if Val Kilmer had died in real life at the filming the movie he would have died happy. Because he got that moment.
I watched the original Top Gun for the first time a week before this movie came out and this scene still got me teary eyed
Agreed, I love both movies, and I'm so glad that they managed to get Val Kilmer, despite his declining health.
Smart move
R.i.p. Goose
As someone old enough to have watched the original on the big screen when it came out, I can say that it was a movie of its time. You have to understand the zeitgeist of the '70s-'80s to understand why the original movie was so important to Americans...we were coming off the "malaise era" of the '70s, and Americans wanted to be reassured that we were still the "big dog" on the block. I lived not far from Miramar, where the Top Gun school was located in those days, and I can tell you that there was palpable pride (and a little bit of relief) that we had the best pilots, equipment, and support staff in the world, and, once again, people were reassured that that was still the case. That's part of the reason the film was such a success. It was a great movie, too, great entertainment, but I cannot express to you the emotional impact that it had on ordinary Americans. To some extent, I think the new flick is being so well received for the same reason: In a world where everything seems to be falling apart (especially here at home), it's reassuring to know that we're STILL the big dog.
SOME GREAT ACTORS DONT NEED TO SPEAK ..VAL KILMER IS THAT ACTOR.A TRUE LEGEND.
Tom cruise should be nominated for best actor from this scene alone. What an incredible actor man. It’s not talked about enough how many great movies he’s made over the years.
Without this scene, this movie doesn't work. This is the heart of the film. Learning to let go and giving part of yourself to the younger generation. To teach them and to guide them. To continue the legacy of Top Gun.
For all the cool movies he makes, one could forget that Tom Cruise is a good actor. And this one here with Mr Kilmer....🥺...whew...
tom is a hell of a dramatic actor dude, watch a few good men or born on the fourth of july and you'll see
He's a phenomenal actor. He's just an egomaniac IRL.
It's so touching that Tom got Val back to appear in the film. Great respect to both men.

It really depends, but the thing is learning how to speak again, but different from what you were used to. Its like learning how to walk again.
Not 100% regained voice, but with practice, you can get very close.
2:18 mark after they stand up. You can see what appears to be the Top Gun winner’s plaque over Maverick’s shoulder. A visual reminder of how they became close friends. Battled (practiced) against each other only to fight the enemy together and protect the other to return safely. Most powerful scene in the whole sequel for the diehard fans given Kilmer’s real life cancer diagnosis.
The plaque for the alternates is down in the ladies' room.
Val Kilmer is still the most underrated actor. To still pull off this scene in an almost silent capacity just shows his talent.
The Academy still owes him one for Tombstone FYI.

Nice to see Val Kilmer speaking. God bless him. He's very talented. ❣❣🙏🏻
Oh man Tom cruise can still be amazing as an actor when he wants. Those tears felt so real and I wish the best for Val Kilmer
So nice to see Tom turn in a performance beyond what's expected of him nowadays, and it's in service of one of the most touching and moving reunions. Val will always be a legend.
He was doing well as a dramatic actor honestly during the 90s; when he routinely competed for globes and Oscars. His problem (which he finally grew out of in Collateral) was that he was prone to overacting. But since then, he’s developed such a great sense of timing, naturalism, and nuance, and now the guy absolutely shines when he has to actually act. It’s crazy to think that even when he eventually slows down from all the crazy action, he’ll still have arguably his most promising turn yet as a dramatic actor to look forward to.
Val kilmer is so graceful...
I like to think that Iceman felt so guilty about indirectly causing Goose’s death he spent his whole career protecting Maverick. Being the big brother he never had.
And yes, I cried my eyes out during this scene.
I kind of look at it that way, though Ice didn't cause the ejection seat/canopy failure that ultimately killed him. However, a good man would feel responsible for being even vaguely part of that. And I definitely like the take that he felt a responsibility to fly top cover for Maverick after that.
Ice apologized to Maverick about Goose briefly, in the locker room in the first film. Yes, he feels responsible, too..
@andrewwaldock while it was ultimately a fluke accident, the events leading up to it were a result of Maverick and Iceman being more concerned about beating each other than having each other's back(i.e. Mav pushing too hard just so he could show Ice up and not giving him space, and Ice being stubborn to the point where he didn't pull up till the last possible second where Mav and Goose got caught in the jet wash.)
This movie restored my faith in the 21st century.
It's time to let go...
That hit me hard. Not only in the context of the scene but my own life as well. Who knew Top Gun would be giving me a massive epiphany. Incredible scene...
The music at 2:29 got me. The scene mirrors the discussion Maverick and his instructor Viper had in the first part.
When Iceman (the incomparable Val Kilmer) fought through his illness to speak to Maverick one last time always had tears in my eyes. And I know it was hard and emotional for Tom and Val to film that scene with breaking down crying.😢❤
This is how you add humor into an emotional scene while keeping the emotion of the scene. Modern Marvel should take notes.
Marvel movies sucked now
They overdid their jokes terribly
bruh
- hulk
@@guts-141 You know you have overdone your jokes when even the Minions know how to use it, especially the fart jokes.
You don't have to drag one thing down just to hype another up. If you like something about the scene, just say that. This film has nothing to do with Marvel
"It's time to let go."
Has a deeper meaning and hidden reference to first movie. Maverick had difficulty of letting go of Goose's body in the water scene. Navy diver had to tell him twice. Now, he has same problem with Rooster and Iceman delivers the same advice twice. 0:11 and 1:54
This scene alone was worth the price of admission. I can only imagine how high emotions were running on the set when this was filmed. I loved that Kilmer was given the chance to do this; show how his reality and fiction can be coming from the same source. Great respect for him and his craft, and the first time I've seen Cruise look like he was genuinely experiencing grief.
this scene had me sobbing, I watched the first top gun a decade ago, when I was 15 years old and now we get a really heartfelt moment between the two, it was sweet of iceman for protecting maverick all this time.
I thank this movie for not destroying the characters of Ice Man and Maverick.
Any other movie would’ve made the character of callsign Phoenix a super pilot that can do no wrong and is superior in every way to every other pilot and much better than Maverick.
But instead she’s just part of the group and is kind of a likeable character. Her, Rooster, Hangman and the rest of the pilots could carry a next movie if done right.
Plus Maverick gets to fly one last mission while also having a heartfelt send off to Ice Man that keeps his dignity and integrity as a character that has achieved a resolution and completed his arc.
Good job writers. 👍
Im glad I went to the cinema alone to see this movie...
OMG this is so emotional especially when you know Val Kilmer is actually very ill.
Cherish your health, cherish your loved ones, cherish your life.
Absolutely
This is a powerful scene. Amazing actors these two.
Makes you realize how precious life is and how quickly it can change from one moment to the next.
I sobbed when I saw in the theatres. Ugly crying.
I'm still sobbing. Today watching this again
Then the next part
😭😭😭😭😭😭 That broke me when Mav got "the call"😭😭😭😭😭😭
Exactly. The emotions are real and the scene isn’t broken by some lame joke. The moment of levity is at the end where it belongs. A nice laugh after a heavy moment can work really well as demonstrated here.
Unlike other movies that have jokes in the middle of intense or heavy scenes. Let scenes breath and let the actors show that they can, in fact, act.
@@SARGEHALO666v2 i hear ya .. im watching it right now and even that small scene still made me cry .. i do wish ice had more in line with the movie.. but i know it wasnt meant to be .. i will always consider the original TOP GUN AND THIS MOVE MY TWO VERY FAVORITES
If I ever see Val Kilmer I'm going to hug him and they're going to have to tranquilize me to get me to stop.
Haven't respected an actor more than Val Kilmer for showing up and nailing his part in this film given his circumstances, what an absolute legend
"It's a nice moment, don't ruin it."
What a line ! 😄
The level of character development and emotion shown to these legacy characters in this scene was truly something else. Not even franchise films (Marvel or Star Wars) could do that.
This is the part i teared up when i watch on screen. The touching moment between two former fighter pilots. The Compassion....Respect and Honor. I am so glad they allow ICE MAN to be included in the movie.
Maverick without Iceman is like a day without sunshine!
This scene really gut punched me. It was a great tribute for Val Kilmer. I also love that he typed on the computer because it is a great nod to the actor in real life because of his vocal chords.
Val has been through so much these past years, and to bring him back not hiding everything he's suffered really goes to show class in Tom's part.
You can see despite of their acting, how much respect and sympathy have one for the other. This scene even projecting Val's real life situation, was a breath taking..
One of the greatest and saddest scenes of all time
Happy sad to see them both. Happy seeing their friendship, sad seeing Iceman (rather Val ) having trouble talking. Both nailed this scene and that last part, truly friends teasing each other
This is how you treat legacy characters
With frickin respect
This scene between Maverick and Iceman sells this entire film emotionally. Not just fighter jocks kicking the tires and lighting the fires. This is the fate that can await young Naval Aviators and Flight Officers like the group that Maverick is leading.
Best scene in the movie. That's when you really knew it wasn't just some dumb blockbuster. It actually had heart.
Rivals in the first movie, brothers in this one. I was emotional the very moment I saw Ice's admiral portrait.
アイスマンの渋さと格好良さがたまらない。
No matter how many times I watch this scene, it gets me EVERY TIME. When Maverick starts tearing up and then Ice saying what he said to Mav. This scene is beautiful 😭😭
I started tearing up just at Iceman's face at 0:25. Something about the way he's looking at Maverick - compassionate and wise, totally without judgment, seeing him in his pain and confusion and being right there with him. What a beautiful scene.
What a man cancer in throat and still out working doing the JOB god made him do respect son from the bottom of my heart grew up watching ya as a young boy legend bror
It might be so tough for Val Kilmer to get back in the movie industry again. But in this scene he still has it. And we all got emotional!😭
@@liamphibia aye ATS for sure dude
Something about two people starting off as opponents/enemies, and then later gaining each other's respect and becoming friends always gets me, and here it was executed perfectly! Love that they went this way with the characters!
Such great acting by both in this scene. Val Kilmer is amazingly emotive with his eyes. The guy is one of the greatest actors ever.
The Navy need Maverick, the kid needs Maverick, that's why I fought for you, that's why your still here, rest in peace Iceman
I don't know about the rest of you, but i find this scene alone has made the whole movie of Top Gun 2. both once Rivals, now brothers. respect for both actors.
@Val kilmerofficial australia
Rivals who are also friends is the best example of sportsmanship
*_"This is a Nice Moment. Let's not Ruin it." ❤😂❤_*
*_Top Gun!! Nuff Said!_*
This scene is so powerful because after all this time Goose’s death still haunts Maverick. Iceman finally tells him that it’s time to let go and move on.
It’s not just Goose’s death that haunts Maverick. Maverick promised Carol, Goose’s wife and Rooster’s mother, that Carol’s son wouldn’t follow in her husband’s footsteps if he could help it. Now Carol is gone, with her husband in Heaven. And Maverick is left with Goose and Carol’s son and a promise he couldn’t keep. Now Maverick turns around and there is Goose’s son, the Rooster having become such a good pilot that he is has been assigned to fly this mission. How can Maverick keep his promise to Carol if Rooster is going to insist on flying this mission? What the Iceman understood and both Maverick and Carol didn’t realize was that that decision was never Maverick’s or Carol’s decision to make. It was Rooster’s decision the whole time and he chose to follow his father’s footsteps.
@@williampaz2092 I agree with all you said, but I'd like to add, that Rooster was also following in Maverick's footsteps as well. We know Mav has been a surrogate dad to Rooster since Goose died, and Mav expressing his fears to Iceman over losing Rooster makes it more evident! This is why Mav pulling his application cut so deep for Rooster, cause Mav was a father figure who betrayed him!!
This was an incredible scene. When I actually saw Val Kilmer in the movie I was so happy because I didn't expect him because of the illness
Top Gun: Maverick is basically an improvement on its predecessor in almost every single way possible (it was surprisingly very impactful and complex).
Agreed
Watching this scene a second time around, what Ice said vocally was such a tearjerker. "The Navy needs Maverick. The kid needs Maverick. That's why I fought for you. That's why you're still here."
He didn't do all that just for his former rival but still good friend, he did it for Rooster, and for the memory of his dad Goose.
This is a very emotional scene, seeing Ice and Maverick who once couldn’t stand each other now loving and caring friends and Ice doing everything he can to keep Maverick safe from exile.
It’s also sad to know this would be there final ever time seeing each other before Iceman’s death.
Something tells me that some of those tears are not acted. Their bond is not only between their characters, this scene hits like a train when you growed up with their movies and now see Val so wasted by that disease at a still relatively young age.
This movie got everything just right .
Didn't expect this movie to be such a flawless masterpiece💥💥💥
flawless? they should have ended it with maverick dying when he saved the kid. that being the impetus for him to understand find out why and understand what he did and what he was going through. it's those life lessons taught to him and the realizations that allow rooster to break through his own barriers and grow, and those lessons allow him to succeed on a final mission
not this contrived fast n furious nonsense that was the last 25 minutes of the show :P
