Kinda wish they didn’t reveal the >!Mig!< in the trailer. Like most people familiar with the Korean war probably could reasonably guess that a >!Mig-15!< would be the “final boss” of this movie, but it would have been cooler not reveal it early.
EDIT: added spoiler tags. I figured that since they literally yell it in the trailer that the cat would be out of the bag already, but whatever
As a Corpsman who was patching a wounded Afghani soldier during a fire fight, I can’t tell you how much weight was lifted when I heard the DuK DuK DuK DuK sounds of the propellers from the air support. The entire time I’m patching him up, my Marines are advancing towards the enemy and I’m praying I don’t catch a stray to the dome. I heard a BRRRRR from the attack helicopter (if someone can help identify, it was during Helmand 2010, that looked like an Apache but was escorting Airforce medevac?) And I took a giant sigh of relief thinking it was finally over.
But man… As soon as the ‘cavalry came’ I almost cried. Even when the Airforce landed their Osprey, they made a half moon perimeter around me and I never felt like a celebrity in my entire life. While I was carrying the litter with the casualty on, I was so exhausted and one of the Airman took it for me, and I just dropped to my knees. I told one of my Marines later that day that I would never talk shit about the Airforce ever again.
I really wish I didn’t see that part in the trailer and saw it in theatres.
To any close air support who watched us from the skies, yal are the real chads
Kinda funny seeing this about to come out, while season 3 of the podcast [*Blowback*](https://blowback.show/) is also coming out soon, focusing on the Korean War.
I haven’t studied the Korean War much, but what little I’ve seen, seems like the standard “good war” narrative about it we get in the US is a flat-out lie. With the North Korean socialists seemingly having more legitimacy across the whole peninsula than anybody else, especially the pro-Japanese collaborators that the US put in charge in the South; and the brutality of the air war the US waged against the North after the stalemate, where they basically turned the country into a free-fire zone and leveled every single town and killed a significant portion of the entire population.
I honestly and truly love inspiring movies that show people overcoming their racism. It’s almost like there is a lesson there that people could learn. I wonder why it never sinks in with some?
Now, how many are going to call this move based on REAL EVENTS “woke” and make me slap my forehead?
Jonathan Majors is the next guy. He’s so good and so charismatic. I’ll watch anything he’s in. He’s like the next Denzel and Brad Pitt. I just feel like he can win you over the first second he hits the screen and he can do anything. I’d watch him lead a team of thieves in an outlandish heist, or struggle to get by with a wife and kid, or high-stakes gamble with a drug addiction. He can do anything and it will never seem out of character.
Jonathan Majors and Glen Powell are both rising stars. Looks pretty good.
The trailer really makes it feel like a Top Gun prequel. Considering how well Maverick did, I can’t blame them
Mom, can we go see Top Gun Maverick?
Mom: We have Top Gun Maverick at home.
Top Gun Maverick at home: Devotion
Looks cool. I skipped Top Gun 2, but might actually watch this in theaters.
Hot damn. I’m in.
Ah hell yeah, Hangman is in this?!?
This is going to be crazy good. We never get good Korean War movies.
Great to see Bagman doing well.
Our attention span is apparently so low these days that trailers now start with a quick teaser.
poor man’s Top Gun /s
I love Johnathan majors. Glad to see him again.
Prop Gun
Damn this actually looks good. Please don’t be as bland as *Midway*.
Top Gun 3: Hangman? I’m in!
That’s some bad timing to release this movie.
People are still gonna be hangover from Top Gun, and they will not feel like watching another airplane movie so close from each other

This looks awesome
Generic comment about Top Gun.
Green screen screams green.

Great setting for a feel-good plane movie!
This looks surprisingly good.
I am actually stoked about this and about to do a dive into the history here.
Casting call:
We’ll you look pretty racist.

THIS LOOKS DOPE! So glad we’re getting fighter pilot films again. They are some of my faves, always wanted to be one as a kid.
Homework assignment: read “The Hunters” by James Salter if you would like to know more about aerial combat during the Korean War.
Don’t expect a happy ending guys. Just a warning. This is gonna be a tearjerker.

Every-time I see this movie, I get really disappointed that it’s not an adaptation of the Taiwanese horror game.
Didn’t know one of the Jonas Brothers was an actor now…
Im interested cause the Korean War is basically uncovered in American movies
Glen Powell going almost back to back as a pilot in separate movies just like Matt Damon as an astronaut in Interstellar and The Martian
