Top Gun is kinda homoerotic, yeah
Top Gun is the gayest film I ve ever seen, and this is coming from a guy who once rented bisexual porn by accident. I don t care what people say, I don t care if you think it s deliberate or not, but it s undeniably there. It s a penetration scene away from requiring a photo ID to rent it. What was supposedly supposed to appear as competitive tension between Iceman and Maverick instead becomes a taut, heated contest of eyefuckery and pursedlipped looks of desire. In one of the numerous confrontation scenes that take place in (of course) the men s locker room (in towels, no less), I swear there s a moment where it looks like Maverick is about to caress Iceman s cheek, then just take him right there in front of the squad. I dunno, maybe that s how the Navy established who the best pilot was back then. Their love dares not speak its name, but it certainly drops enough hints; it might actually even be sexy if it wasn t also so
