THE NON-STOP GLORIFICATION OF MAVERICK AKA TOM CRUISE
We have not seen Top Gun: Maverick yet (lack of interest) but we MIGHT, since Roger Friedman suggested we read a tantalizing review by Luke Y Thompson for The Underground Bunker. Thompson points out that Tom Cruise as Maverick, is worshiped by every character in the movie, and those who disagree with Maverick, only do so because they have not yet realized the full goodness and greatness he possesses! Maverick has been pulled out of retirement to lead a final mission because nobody on the planet has been – or will be – as good as he is. His recent directors seem devoted to glorifying and flattering Cruise, above all else. They add extra scenes of Cruise running or speeding on a motorcycle without a helmet to emphasize his youthful masculinity – in every film. All this hype points to Tom Cruise being the most awesome guy EVER, and he’s loving every minute of it. So are the Scientologists.
