In this video I break down just what made 2022's Top Gun Maverick such a smash hit, exploring how the film builds off the original's themes as well as introducing new elements. I discuss how the film handles its characters, especially those from the original with a great deal of dignity and respect.
This video also breaks down some of my favourite scenes in this film, exploring how and why they work so well.

Thank you very much for watching and I do hope you enjoy!
