By theending ofTop Gun: Maverick, no one could claim that Mavericks story was unfinished.
Already, the sequel cant reuse the first trick thatTop Gun: Maverickrelied on.
Recreating the opening credits tacitly told viewers that this was the same story in a different decade.
Directly recreating the scene once is a touching homage, but doing so twice is simply lazy and unoriginal.
Not only that, but there almost certainly wont be a 36-year wait betweenTop Gun: MaverickandTop Gun 3.
Thus, viewers are unlikely to be as nostalgic and forgiving.
The franchise now needs to prove it has new ideas, not new iterations of the same hits.
The sequel needs a new opening for the same reasonTop Gun 3cant bring back Iceman.
This issue points to the biggest problem withTop Gun 3.
