Guys you can't just leave the best part in the tags:

saying “i want him” about the character but not in a romantic or sexual way . i just Require him i need to Obtain him

"ethan-like lover" has returned to me once again but i'm just thinking about how funny it could be this time. benji brings his hot new brown-haired rock climber boyfriend to drinks with the team and luther just bursts out laughing the second he sees him stood next to ethan . benji is visibly withering away and the poor boytoy is actively connecting dots in his head while ethan's just there like :)???

[autistic-someone]

*in the middle of a breakdown* Omg wait. this is just like the character

i think ultimately you do really have to kill that part of your brain that vividly imagines how you would redo parts of your life.

Yes, all of that, exept Luther and Ethan only meet once Ethan's entire team is already dead. So even Luther doesn't really know Ethan from before. Don't really have a point to make exept some food for thought.

“now if i get out with julia, we win. if i dont then uh… look, then she’s dead anyway, and so am i”

in my heart, i know he’s talking suicide. on a side note, watching luther’s expressions and reactions become graver and graver bc of ethan spiraling over julia’s kidnapping and torture is so fucking fascinating bc it’s like. he really did not sign up to become friends with some IMF grunt who hired him in 1996. but now it’s ten years later, and the mentally ill playboy is now a halfway decent man tryna be a halfway decent partner to a regular woman. this is not the ethan luther met, or the one he knew even six years ago. he’s not sleeping with recruits or fucking his students. he’s not sleeping with his boss’s wife. he’s actually growing into a decent human being, but being decent comes at a cost. luther is the true witness of the mission impossible films, cuz he knew ethan before and after he deliberately became a better man

[autistic-someone]

I know Benji did not wreck Ethan's home but like this is killing me

[autistic-someone]

ethan and benji’s relationship development from mi3 to rogue nation is actually so insane. like their romance works BECAUSE it’s a slowburn. because ethan needed to fall in love with julia and ruin his own marriage first. because benji needed to realize he cared more about the friendships he cultivated in the IMF than his own life. i love it!

Honestly guys we don't talk enough about how fucking SUBVERSIVE the Gay Submarine Scene™️ in mi8 was (pun intended). That was the type of scene in an action movie where usually the Hot Woman who's there for eye candy for the audience of straight men is gratuitously stripped down in some way and looks indignant or helpless as the Action Movie Men oggle her (a simplified explanation of The Male Gaze). But instead of a woman who's only in the movie for 5 seconds it's ETHAN HUNT, the MALE STAR of the action movie. He's stripped down to his boxers and bashfully admired by several burly men. Captain Bledsoe was very obviously flirting with him. And this isn't even MENTIONING the role that KODIAK played. Her and Ethan's banter was indistinguishable from two sweaty buff male leads in a testosterone-filled 80s action flick who are very obviously eyefucking during their rivalry. Those types of scenes are gay enough as they are. Except in the Gay Submarine, one of the masculine male roles was played by a WOMAN, complete with muscles and short hair and that tired yet eager stare that screams 'dominant,' FURTHER scrambling up the gender roles and throwing them out the window. There was nothing heterosexual about how she and Ethan interacted, just like how there was nothing heterosexual about how Ethan and Bledsoe interacted. The Gay Submarine Scene™️ was queer. it was Lesbian. it was transgender. it was homosexual. it was butch. it was beautiful. AND IT WAS IN A MAINSTREAM ACTION MOVIE SERIES INSTALLMENT SEEN BY THE WORLD. Those types of movies ALWAYS have The Male Gaze scenes. Not Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning. This movie had The McQ Gaze, and the hot woman being objectified was internationally beloved Hollywood movie star and president of movies Thomas Cruise Mapother IV, showing off his tits and the curve of his ass in a distinctly non traditional way. Amen. Tony Scott is smiling down upon us, I just know it.

a few more contemplative FR memes just in case any of y'all managed to escape getting an existential crisis from this franchise yet

Bonus (Let Ethan Hunt Retire propaganda):

textpost sources: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7, image descriptions below the cut ->

[ID 1: Screencap of Benji under a bookshelf screaming with effort. the overlaid textpost says "the thing about living with mental illness for decades is that occasionally your brain will be like hey you're useless and should kill yourself and your only real reaction is cmon man right now i'm in the middle of something".]

[ID 2: Screencap of Gabriel peeking through a set of iron bars. the overlaid tweet says "soooooo humiliating to be destroyed by madness when you're not even one of the best minds of your generation".]

[ID 3: Screencap of Luther and Ethan hugging, with the camera positioned over Ethan's shoulder so we only see Luther's smiling face. the overlaid tweet says ""you never know what you have until you lose it" is amateur hour. real sufferers know exactly what they have and that they are going to lose it".]

[ID 4: Screencap of Ethan framed between elevator doors, wearing handcuffs and flanked by two soldiers. the overlaid textpost says "so much of being an okay person is just 1) not panicking, 2) not taking things personally, and 3) not letting the vindictive gargoyle that lives in your head tell you what to do. this sucks because brains love doing those things".]

[ID 5: Screencap of Paris holding a knife up, a hesitant expression on her face. the overlaid comments say "the hands that cradled your face and tilted it upwards to kiss your forehead are soaked in unfathomable quantities of blood." "But they cradled me, yes?".]

[ID 6: Screencap of Ethan standing in a faceless crowd with the focus drawn to him so everyone else is blurry. the overlaid textpost says "me when the character has a uniquely fucked mindset. me when the character's fundamental views of how the world works lead to them being hurt and/or hurting others and not seeing the problem with this. me when the character is a little freak who does weird shit because their beliefs, inspired entirely by their environment, are fuckeddddd".]

[ID 7: Screencap of Ethan standing in a field with his back to the camera, looking out at some mountains in the distance with helicopters flying in to meet him. the overlaid textpost says "if it all goes to shit for real i can always run away to a small town in the mountains and start over (delusional)".]
