Clearly the best pilot after Maverick

The movie establishes over and over again that he got the name hangman because he's the exact opposite of a wingman, he's not someone you can count on in a dogfight

>In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Powell recounted how he was spending some time around real naval aviators, and meeting one with the call sign “Noose.” When Powell asked how he came up with it, the man’s friend jumped in to tell the story.
>Apparently, this aviator once went to a dance when he was in middle school, and he was particularly excited about dancing with his crush. To avoid getting “too excited,” as Powell puts it, the aviator took a length of string and tied one end around his leg, and the other end around his penis to keep everything down.
>As karmic judgment for bad ideas would have it, the string became stuck, and one of the aviator’s friends had to help him cut the string off, thus prompting the call sign “Noose,” which in turn inspired Powell’s character’s call sign “Hangman.”

Do the chomp right now!

Ah, this souless flick just reminds me how good the original was

But no one else could have saved them with such style.

>Myoooooow lil Donnie!

I don't understand the reasoning for the whole "you can't go that fast and leave your retarded wingman behind" when not in a dogfight

>Couldn't they've cast somebody better

Wow you missed the point hard.

Hangman is NOT supposed to be a young Iceman. He's supposed to be a young Maverick.

Watch the original Top Gun movie. Iceman is the skilled, but cool headed one. Maverick is talented, but is the one always disobeying orders and leaving his wingman.

Rooster = Iceman
Hangman = Maverick

Reminder that Maverick did the course alone without having to worry about a wingman, just like Hangman was doing

>Character redeems himself
Yeah I'm thinking he's based

>Character redeems himself
redeems himself for what?
what exactly did he do "wrong" in the movie except for acting cocky?

I didn't expect that from the Red Army Faction.

>maverick got jet washed by an aircraft in front of him and they had to bail - he was cleared of all liability and wrongdoing in regards to the accident

The course, yes, but in the real engagement people would have died if hangman had just shot off and abandoned his wingman
