ETHAN HUNT KNIFE FIGHTING IN HIS UNDERWEAR. NEVER KILL YOURSELF, YOU NEED TO SEE THIS IN THEATERS

[andaniellight]

Ethan's absolute hatred and disgust towards AI that can mimic and duplicate human mannerism because the Entity tricked and almost lured him to his demise by using Benji's voice, someone he'd trust and trail after blindly to the end of the world

VS

Ethan having to stop every now and then as he goes on with his days because he's so used to being reminded by Luther about things he'd often forget, little things that'd slipped from his mind as his head injuries and age finally catch up with him, slowly realizing that perhaps one day, although he did promise that he'll continue living while dragging Benji along with him no matter what, now isn't so sure if he wants to actually live long enough to forget the sound of his old friends voice

I have even more thoughts now that I've seen tfr a second time. But the criticism I keep coming back to is people saying the ending was unsatisfying. To me it was so clear that there were only two options for the end of this movie, what we got or Ethan six feet under in a body bag.

It's exactly what Luther said at the beginning, 'what are we going to do, retire?' There's no perfect little story book happy ending for Ethan. He is going to keep doing all of this until it kills him because this is just what his life is now. There are so many points in this movie, particularly the entire sequence leading up to and inside the sevastobol where it's so clear that Ethan has accepted his death. He goes into that expecting to die, to the point where he even looks surprised when he wakes up with Grace.

Ethan was never going to get an ending where the government gives him a medal or he gets to stop doing this and retire or whatever other shit people think would be satisfying. It's hammered home multiple times throughout the film with 'we live and die in the shadows, for those we hold close and those we'll never know'.

It was never going to be satisfying, because if anything this movie was the explanation of the tragedy of Ethan Hunt. While the world gets to sleep easy because of him, he never will.

Okay, The Final Reckoning wasn't a disaster and they didn't kill the series (nor the mc).

"Was it good?" - you may ask.

My dear mutual, friend, I have no freaking idea. I'm still shaking from those airplane scenes and currently trying to get rid of those images of Ethan inside a torpedo chamber.

Mission Impossible fans, if you aren't seeing the movie until after the 18th of May. Please, after that date, try to avoid my blog like the plague cause I will not shut up about it after I've seen the movie. This has been a PSA from your local yapper.

Day 18 for @may-lancholy

Fandom: Mission: Impossible

Prompt: Possessed

Warnings: Mind Control, Based on the Final Reckoning trailer (does NOT contain movie spoilers!)

The Entity.

It was in his brain.

Ethan could feel it. He could feel the power. He could feel the AI taking control of his mind.

It was the strangest feeling he'd ever felt before.

Scary. Disgusting. At the same time overwhelming.

And then he saw it.

Images filled his mind. Images of Benji. Hurt. Killed.

Ethan tried to fight it. He tried to fight against those horrifying scenarios.

One thing was for sure. He would never let them happen. He had sworn to never let anything happen to Benji. And no one – not even the Entity – would change that.

SEEING FINAL RECKONING TODAY!! BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.

Taking the Maverick & Ethan Hunt bracelets I made for good luck

[maverickcalf]

Ethan declaring Benji as Team Leader at the start of TFR and then being the only one to follow him at the end of the film. Yeah that gets me!

Something I found extremely funny was that at the first fifteen or something minutes into the movie two agents intercept Ethan at a party and lo and behold, Matthew Keller is there!
