What a badass trailer holy cow, finally we get some much needed testosterone in movies. Its funny in the beginning they talked about how Maverick passed up a promotion to Admiral several times and is now a Captain. I thought it echoed what Kirk told Picard in Generations. Can't wait for 2020.

I got more of a sense that there was something he did that prevented him from being promoted. Not that he was too badass. He was passed over for promotion because of some reason or another. So I'm wondering if somewhere between the movies Maverick actually messed up and got in trouble, hence no promotions beyond Captain.
> According to the information I've been able to find, it's possible for an officer to refuse a promotion - but this is almost always followed by a "request" that they resign their commission (if they've been in for less than 20 years) or retire (if over 20). And even if you get away with it, there's no guarantee you won't be reassigned to somewhere more suitable to a person of your age and physical requirements (translation: you're not going to be a 50-year-old fighter pilot, except possibly as a trainer).
Rules like that don't apply to Mavrick! He's a Maverick !!!

Also, "Maverick" was a one note character without any real narrative depth to begin with. There is no reason this movie even needs to be made except for the oversized ego of it's garbage human of a leading man.
So, yeah, I'll take a pass on this nationalistic America, Frak Yeah steaming pile of ego they will call a film.
Well that does make sense, seeing as how we saw him mostly in an F-18D (2 seater) .
Anyone thinking those snow capped mountains looked a lot like the Frozen Chozen?
Hit the nail on the head Jon, though if he is a still a Captain (O-6) he should have been forced into mandatory retirement once he hit the 30 year point. Yes, a waiver is possible but I doubt they would grant one for a fighter pilot. When Ed Harris' character dropped that little tid-bit it raised an eyebrow. Also, can't tell if that's MCAS Miramar or NAS Fallon NV where the Fighter Weapon School moved to back in 1996. Makes sense if it was the latter. Its all pretty over the top. Anyways, I'll probably check it out if there is nothing else I want to see at the theater.

Or started the war as a marketing campaign for the film. Viral marketing is out of control.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.
