To prefer Goose to Maverick?

I watched Top Gun Maverick yesterday and decided to watch the original Too Gun this evening. I know Maverick is the heartthrob, but I would much rather have Goose

No no no no no the way Tom C is kissing with tongues!!! in the bedroom scene is OMFG I WISH IT WERE ME even when I was a teen when it first came out I’ve been mesmerised by Tom ever since

although Goose was the family man who wouldn’t stray

Goose was hot

scrufffy · 24/09/2022 22:18

Iceman.

SheilaSazs · 24/09/2022 22:18

You are so right.

I feel I have now found my people.

Chelsea26 · 24/09/2022 22:18

Goose every single time

also TC is a twat!

Xiaoxiong · 24/09/2022 22:19

Iceman! He was awesome, he was hot AND he followed the rules 😍

SteveHarringtonsChestHair · 24/09/2022 22:19

I loved Goose more too, and his relationship with his wife, but that kiss with TC and KM totally gets me hot every time.

mnahmnah · 24/09/2022 22:20

Goose was funny and loyal. Fab.

Iceman?! No! Total dick.

I was first in line 😜

Goose all day everyday!

I thought this was a baby name thread. Awkward.

I think Maverick preferred Goose to Maverick! Goose was just such a good guy.

@Discwriter I think you are right, Goose really was the best

Goose was a good guy, and Maverick hot as well as having the bad boy/edgy vibe.

But Iceman is my pilot of choice, closely followed by Slider, but he's a bit annoying though......

Negative Discwriter, the pattern is full...

Hmm I am noticing a lot of Iceman love. I can see the attraction but it's still Goose for me! He was the perfect wingman and friend

I cried when Goose died of cancer.

Don't even get me started on ER! I haven't seen it in years but I'm still slightly traumatized 😥

TC as a heartthrob has always been a mystery to me, he's about as sexy and animated as a lump of wood.

comeondover · 24/09/2022 22:52

I can't really remember Top Gun, but in a similar vein, I much preferred Kenickie to Danny Zuko, and Mercutio to Romeo.

Disc writer? I thought it was ghost rider 😂

Pmsl, me and my Dh were screaming at that scene ‘No, you’re doing it wrong!’ 🤣

TheUntiedShoelace · 24/09/2022 22:57

I know TC was aiming for 'edgy bad boy' but he was hitting 'irritating smartarse' consistently throughout.
