I recently made some additions within the following text area, roughly: Rooster dislikes Hangman's cavalier and arrogant attitude, while Hangman criticizes Rooster's cautious flying.
This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Top Gun: Maverick article. This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject. |

Maverick reunites with former girlfriend, and bar owner, Penny Benjamin, to whom he reveals that he promised Rooster's dying mother that Rooster would not become a pilot. Rooster, unaware of the promise since Maverick does not want Rooster's mother blamed, angrily resents Maverick for dropping his Naval Academy application—impeding his military career—and blames him for his father's death. Hangman unexpectedly arrives, coming in time to shoot it down, and the planes return safely." Too, I took immense, clunky paragraphs and separated them into smaller, more readable ones. My changes, which didn't exceed 700 words, were reverted, without sufficient reason, I thought. I hope people don't mind if I restore all my changes, none of which is a bad thing, to my knowledge, and all of which add to knowledge of the film, or readability of the article, I believe.

From the archive I see there was some prior discussion around some of the other cast members being included in the infobox. However, it didn't seem there was any established consensus, and I see anon editors are re-adding what I'm seeing are co-stars to the infobox. I've trimmed the infobox back to the primary "stars", and re-sorted the cast section based on the opening credits (with anyone not listed in the opening credits left wherever they were prior to my edits). Opinions welcome, not sure what WP:PAG applies here but I truly doubt they want every single person listed in the infobox. —Locke Cole • t • c 06:03, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
The film became the highest-grossing film of Cruise's career on June 17, 2022, after crossing $800 million worldwide.
Tom Cruise has been acting for decades. Shouldnt we include inflation to count for how much the movie made? 2600:100F:B136:6A3F:0:2C:1E3D:7B01 (talk) 01:16, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
A number of anonymous IPs have added text describng this film as "one of the best films of the 2020s". They have been reverted by myself, @MicrobiologyMarcus, @Shadow311, and @TompaDompa. Can any of the anon IPs (User Talk:73.88.2.76, User Talk:90.249.99.122, User Talk:2601:441:8285:1D0:E912:DC55:A6AB:E29) explain their rationale for adding this stuff? Thanks, Kiwipete (talk) 17:45, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
The article mentions both the Darkstar and Tomcat aircraft production, however omits the adversary 5th Generation fighters (described as Su-57s, though I don't recall being called as such in the movie) despite bring a crucial part of the plot. Can anyone please add a subsection about the production of these important adversaries? Thanks and regards, DPdH (talk) 01:19, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
