When Mav crashes at the beginning going Mach 10.3 there is no way he survives that crash. Like - zero chance. Mach 10.3 is over 7900 mph.
So my take is he dies in that crash, and everything that happens afterwards is his death dream that fired through his brain in the seconds before he literally evaporated in the atmosphere.
Proof it was a dream:
Fun movie. And my hypothesis takes nothing away from the enjoyment of the film.
- Mav crashes an experimental hypersonic jet against orders and not only stays in the Navy but gets put in charge of a mission?
- Goose's son is dressed exactly like Goose and sings the same song on piano that Goose did?
- Mav meets up with an old flame and reconciles his wrongs with her?
- Charlie drove a 1958 Porsche Speedster and lived in a beach house. Penny has a 1973 Porsche 911 and lives in a beach house.
- Mav still feels guilty about Goose's death, but this wrong is righted by him saving Goose's life during a dogfight.
- Mav is able to run to Rooster's location after he crashes. Let's assume he was doing around 600 mph. That's 880 ft/s - do the math. Mav ain't running no double marathon in flight gear. In the snow.
- The enemy base just happens to have an F-14 ready to go at an active base - a jet that's about 40 years old. Iran might still use these jets, but they wouldn't be necessary at a base loaded with 5th Gen Fighters.
But Mav's dead, bruh.
Nooooooo!?! This cannot be true!No way he lived.
No way it's not a death dream. The entire movie after the crash.
If true though, this is me
