Maverick: A Pro-American Success Story.
Taken from Big Pod #8: https://youtu.be/2Gmb32DGczU
"Top Gun: Maverick" scratched a serious itch in the American psyche by putting patriotism before victimhood.
The absence of America bashing, woke storytelling, and forced diversity is exactly why the movie saw such massive success.
