Thursday, April 18: Legion Token + Rib Boost

Stay up to date with new release plans and boosts on the Artix Calendar. Plus, the much-anticipated Gravelyn Bank Buddy and Original Gravelyn Bank Buddy pets are here! Find them in the AdventureCoins shop in your Game Menu for 2,000 ACs. But as a general rule, we should get rid of them whenever possible.

22/2023 - Higure Update + Class Changes

A few changes to make the class more dynamic, and stronger if used well. A small change to increase usability and consistency. A small change to normalize health cost, so it won’t kill you. A few changes have been made to certain /ascendeclipse monsters, primarily to the Ascended Midnight and Ascended Solstice bosses. Following up a bugfix with a reduction of the Magia Burn aura's duration, as The First Speaker now auto attacks one less time per rotation. Increasing the duration of Spinning Dragon so it's a little easier to time.

New game release

As the saying goes, "It is not easy being green..." when "...the color customizer breaks." This technique is probably barred from the upcoming Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight. But you will be able to perform it in game without having to wear mandatory head gear. While appearing to spend a lot of time at the digital gym on his 8-pack, Mr. Guy thinks that every body type is beautiful. Everyone has some Mr. Guy (or Ms. Girl) deep within us.

Adventure Quest - The Classic Fantasy RPG

The class was originally balanced expecting players would get between 6 and 10 Chaos Rift stacks, with some higher, but ensuring the class was nearly as strong without using it. The cooldown change only aims to remove unintended behavior and shouldn't impact normal play at all, limiting shots during Gunslinger Stance to below 20. We like the utility that Dauntless provides for several classes, but it is vastly outperforming other endgame enhancements.

New Featured Gear Shop Items: Yokai & DOOM

There are two major topics we did not discuss in today's update. The biggest one is major issue with the armor importer. Warlic & Spider built a system to automatically import (most) AQWorlds armors. They will not have animations or any special features, but hey, at least you will have the art when you login!

Skill Changes:

Get double rewards as you battle to create your Blinding Light of Destiny Axe through next Wednesday. Arcana Invoker is an endgame two target farming and solo DPS class that revolves around summoning all 22 aspects of the Arcana, starting with The Fool, then ending with The World. Or unlife, for all you necromancers out there.

We feel that classes like this often get overlooked because they haven’t been updated in a long time, but the case sometimes is that they are strong enough to not need changes urgently. Because of that, we primarily cleaned up its mechanics and gave it a few playstyle spins, and a few fun mechanics. Significant reworks to better align the class’s damage types, desired stats, and give it a playstyle. Cooldowns were significantly reduced overall, making the class play much faster. Original niches have not significantly changed, but the class now functions as a strong mid-game high dodge solo class that can scale into early endgame.

Keep your account safe. Never share your password.

As we slowly reach the end of F2P classes to receive changes, more cases like this will occur. Quick changes so it stacks a bit faster, has higher base damage (but doesn't stack quite as high), and to make the autoattack scale with Strength instead of Intelligence. Tap into your vampiric strength, temporarily empowering yourself.

Plus, find even more Darkon-themed reward drops next Friday... Along with a badge for creating the Arcana Invoker Class. Arcana Invoker will be acquired at rank 1, like other classes. Previously, we thought it could be acquired at rank 5, but an issue is currently preventing this. The class will not have a rank 4 passive in the traditional sense, but its rank 10 passive provides more effects than the average one to make up for it. I am writing two (maybe three) releases for AdventureQuest Worlds this summer.

If you close and re-open your inventory, everything will go back to being in alphabetical order. Some armors and skins are color customizable. To make sure they work, we often test using extreme colors. Reens, for example, really likes using green.

Cysero and Beleen are coming back to write special releases too! For this one, Titan Hollow, I wrote a short story about three Titans battle for the tear of a Fairy that turned into an eternal curse. Like the most popular dungeons from Doomwood, this will be a story-crawl adventure with bonus hidden secrets for hard core gamers. If you want to be the last one standing, become strong. Inspired by super-popular sports anime HaiKyuu!! Everlasting Blade of Chaos, Dual Everlasting Blades of Chaos, and Titan Drakath's Blades have had their Damage to Chaos boosts increased to 60%.

He is a placeholder that is replaced my all player pieces in the game, cutscenes, and for previewing items in your inventory. His skin is gray and his hair is white for color customization reasons. He has one of every possible piece of equipment that a character to can wear. When creating a new animation, they must use Mr. Guy to create it. This is why you will almost always see Mr. Guy in animation previews. Because their buyers typically do not know the account is stolen.

Democrats are also increasingly likely to view Israel's actions in Gaza as a genocide. "I will oppose any cynical effort to further inflame tensions, destroy a path to peace in the region, and further divide the American people," said Ocasio-Cortez. Other progressives issued statements calling for de-escalation in the region more broadly. Most of those bills garnered broad bipartisan support, but a small cohort of progressive Democrats opposed most or all of them. 13 progressive House Democrats voted against the resolution along with Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, a non-interventionist libertarian who often opposes these types of resolutions. If Pennsylvania Democrats hold their narrow majority in the state House and win the state Senate in November, it would give Gov.

All five Democratic candidates for attorney general have committed to protecting the right to abortion and access to FDA-approved medications such as mifepristone. Meanwhile, the Republican candidates have said that they do not believe the state constitution guarantees the right to an abortion. As attorney general, both would leave the issue for the state legislature to decide. President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have essentially clinched their party’s 2024 nominations for the White House. But Pennsylvania voters on Tuesday will cast their ballots in a slew of contentious and potentially decisive congressional and state races that are still sure to make waves as the campaign chugs toward November. Since its 1749 founding, the historic city of Alexandria has played a major role in our nation’s story and reflected its progress toward inclusivity.

After reopening in May 2022 with three floors of temporary exhibits, the next step involved crafting a Comprehensive Plan. The use of sexual actions and words that are unwanted by and/or harmful to another person. Some experiences of sexual violence are hurtful violations of personal boundaries but may not rise to the level of a crime. A pattern of abusive behavior that is used by one person to gain or maintain power and control over another. Domestic violence can be physical, sexual, emotional, economic, or psychological actions or threats of actions that influence another person. Tommy Kirby has protected her brother since he was barely a man and has been a silent staple in the McClain family for just as long.

In Pennsylvania’s 12th District, which includes Pittsburgh and some of its suburbs, first-term progressive Rep. Summer Lee, is facing a primary challenge over her opposition to the Israel-Hamas war. Bhavini Patel, a more moderate Democratic congressional candidate has tried to closely align herself with President Joe Biden. The primary results in this pivotal swing state are certain to reveal insights about the major issues shaping the general election, namely on abortion and the Israel-Hamas war.

All 17 members of Pennsylvania’s congressional delegation are running for re-election in 2024 and three of those incumbents are facing serious primary challengers. Several others are also watching to see who their opponent will be in the fall. And, in some cases, the outcome of Tuesday’s races could determine which way those seats swing on Election Day.

Log in now and begin to battle to collect ALL THE GEAR in Darkon's Garden, Astravia, and the new /Arcana map. Yes, I know maybe some of you are still new to this, but please, at least read the design notes. Not only on Reddit, some other communities also asking the same question.

New Featured Gear Shop Items: Yokai & DOOM

Things that we did when we were first making the game that would haunt us for the decade and a half that followed. We only get one shot at making the base of AQWorlds Infinity right. Once the game is live and you are playing it, it will be too late to change the core stuff. So we are going to get these things right now, while we still can.

Battle On!

With this post, I hope you guys often check the design notes. If you asking to make sure again, no problem (asking with common sense too, lol). Maybe some questions were not shown on the FAQ. Because of how insane it is to do what we do - release a new expansion to the game each week - we need to be very flexible with the game's release schedule. You never know when a team member will get sick or a planet-wide catastrophe strike.

Updated List of Fixed Bugs in AQWorlds

While your target suffers from Blood Loss, all non lifesteal healing they receive is negated. Deals damage and applies Bloodlust, increasing your Crit Damage by 10% for 10 seconds, stacks to 10. Thrust your battleaxe forward, eviscerating your target. Deals damage and applies Titan's Fury, increasing your Haste by 20% for 15 seconds. Also applies Disemboweled, increasing your target's damage taken by 30% for 15 seconds.

Weekend Daily Gifts & Boosts

This means you can pick up a bunch of stuff and then decide what to do with it later.... The loot inventory persists when you log out. And as you get more items, it should auto destroy the oldest ones. It would be nice to make an option to prioritize rare items over trash drops. But I think you will agree, we need to get the base functionality working and get the game up for you to play before adding those sort of quality of life features. This weekend, our Spring updates continue with more rewards, wicked rares, and Darkon's new class!

Over Soul  - Trading Card Game MMO

God of the Depths is intended to be a more accessible challenge fight in comparison to others. After some observation, we've concluded that it's in a good spot difficulty wise, but it is taking certain parties quite a long time to clear it. Therefore, the resistances of the God of the Depths have been lowered, the debuffs are slightly less frequent, and the Sacrosanct Tendril's respawn time has been increased. This week's class updates include changes to NOT A MOD, Dragonslayer General, and Chrono ShadowSlayer. Giving Chunin a few quality of life updates that should also improve its performance a tad.

A couple of weeks ago, we announced that changes to NOT A MOD and Legion Paladin are in the works. These are still planned to happen, but as both classes are in need of overhauls, it will take some before they are ready to be released. Be sure to keep an eye on the AQW Class Team Twitter for updates as they get closer to release. Therefore, we've shifted some of Execute's power into utility that more classes should be able to make use of. Craft pieces of the Sacred Forest Dragon armor set, and find additional items as reward drops from monsters. A known trouble maker returned and apparently bought a list of 500 scammed/hacked accounts from a scammer online and has been causing a stir with it.

This is the 3rd time AE held a gifting event. I'm sorry but I'm a little bit triggered by some stupid question or statement because some of your answers are already shown on design notes. Perform the ancient rite of the Blood Titans. Deals massive damage and applies Blood Rage, increasing your outgoing physical damage by 100% for 5 seconds, but reducing your Heal Power by 50%. The frequent activation of Nightfall and Daybreak auras proved to be quite frustrating, so the amount of times they activate throughout the fight have been reduced. The base damage of the two bosses has been increased to compensate for the change.

08/2023 - Class Bug Fixes and Quality of Life Updates

Rifts no longer require Deadlock proc states to apply. Instead, Deadlock states now offer a stat bonus for a short time. This makes the class simpler to play, less prone to mistakes, and small cooldown changes make it slightly faster as well, without significantly impacting its performance. Performance and niche applicability increased. Mana costs increased to compensate for increased mana generation from new Damage over Time effects. Historically, Talon Twisting has been the catalyst of several unintended interactions with certain classes.

Deals damage and applies Crippling Smash, reducing your target's outgoing damage by 60% and Crit Chance by 30% for 8 seconds. Also has a 25% chance to stun your target for 1 second. These changes buff Chrono ShadowSlayer's baseline and smooth some parts of its playstyle. This also empowers non-Gunslinger mode by proportionally increasing the damage of FMJ Rounds.

Challenge a worthy opponent so that your legend may spread! Deals damage and applies Focus for 4 seconds, which forces your target to attack only you for the duration. Also applies Titan's Curse, drastically increasing your target's Crit Chance but reducing their Crit Damage by 300% for 2 seconds. Slam your battleaxe into the ground, knocking your target off balance.

The DragonSlayer class (Infinity version) is getting some new animations. Spider & Immortal Joe have the Skill Forge (a tool to build new classes & monsters) functional. We have covered him before in previous posts.

However, when working as intended, Talon Twisting is a rather underpowered effect that doesn't provide much of a benefit. Due to these factors, we've made the decision to replace the Scroll of Talon Twisting with a new scroll, the Scroll of Bane. The Scroll of Bane applies certain effects to you or your target based on their tag.

So when the original owner of the account contacts player support and recovers their account... In this regard, the scammer rips off both the original owner and the buyer. This is why we do not allow the selling, trading, or sharing of accounts. Again, there are no security vulnerability in our system. Our password are one-way encrypted and not even the staff can see or unencrypt them. Which is why once again, and I cannot stress this enough...

During some tests of the armor importer, the process said it would take 60 hours for just the armors starting with an "A"! Honestly, there are a lot of things I do not understand about the importer and its complex set of daisy-chained systems. Anything I am writing now is probably oversimplified and inaccurate. Warlic & Spider (and now Zhoom, too) have been experimenting and working on potential solutions. As of Monday's full team sync up, things are finally looking promising. When you get items, they will go into a special loot bag.

Celebration is the second ship in Carnival’s fleet to be completely powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG). Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas is the second ship in the five-ship Quantum-class. Anthem of the Seas debuted in 2015 and has 16 decks (14 guest decks) along with 2,090 staterooms.

Go big on bold when you sail aboard the three largest cruise ships in the world. Deck-defying attractions aren’t the only things to look forward to when you sail onboard the newest cruise ship addition to the Oasis Class. The world's biggest cruise ship propulsion system guarantees the perfect maneuverability by 3 rotatable Azipod thrusters (suspended under the ship's stern), each with a huge electric motor and a 6 m (20 ft) propeller. And in times of need - there are 18 lifeboats, each with a capacity of 370 people. Carnival Cruise Line’s newest ship Carnival Celebration launched in 2022 as the second member of the Excel class, joining her sister Mardi Gras. The new ship almost made the top 10 of the largest cruise ships, landing at number 11.

MSC World Europa (MSC Cruises)

For the more adventurous, there's the "Crown's Edge" walk, which Brock tested out on TODAY. He strapped into a harness that took him along a zipline that allows passengers to dangle along the side of the ship, 150 feet above the water. Like her sister, this ship also features a Sky Dome over the pool area—but Arvia‘s is retractable to allow for alfresco swimming, dining, and entertainment when the weather is right. Food is a major focus of the ship, with many of her 21 restaurants offering authentic local cuisine by chefs including Bruno Barbieri, Hélène Darroze, and Ángel León. Even the littlest cruisers have a special place to eat—Squok Restaurant is dedicated to families with kids.

Largest cruise ships worldwide as of April 2023, by gross tonnage

All told, a reported 6,685 passengers can enjoy the ship at one time. When the Icon of the Seas was first revealed in October 2022, the ship spurred the single largest booking day and the highest volume booking week in Royal Caribbean’s then 53-year history, according to the cruise line. The ship sets sail as Royal Caribbean’s cruises are having a moment online. Since December, the company’s 9-month “Ultimate World Cruise” has captivated — and confused — a following of avid watchers on social media.

It holds seven different neighborhoods, nearly 3,000 staterooms, three waterslides, and Ultimate Abyss — a 10-story dry slide. As to vessels' dimensions, each boasts the unimaginable weight of 227, ,000 GT / gross tons, LOA length 362 m (1187 ft) and waterline width 47 m (154 ft). As the GT is a volume measurement, the ship's actual mass (called displacement) is approx 100,000 tons (the hull alone weighs about 54,000 tons). Surpassing all passenger ship standards, building cost and all previous ship travel vacation concepts, the Oasis-class ships are currently the only passenger shipping vessels of such immense size.

Costa Toscana (Costa Cruises)

The part of the contemporary sailing vessel where the malls are clustered is called the midship. For instance, Arvia features a unique Skydome area that is a pool area with retractable roof by day and an entertainment venue by night. It also features its own rum distillery onboard, meaning you can take home rum literally made on the ship. Kids will love the Altitude zone that features a ropes course, mini-golf, and more.

Why Are Cruise Ships So Big?

Later, I look him up, and it appears that on land, he’s a financial adviser in a crisp gray suit, probably a pillar of his North Chicago community. Another hot-tub denizen suggests that he should have asked for fentanyl. After a few more drinks, Duck Necklace begins to muse about what it would be like to fall off the ship. There’s some Mayan theory squaring science stuff with religion. There is so much more to life on Earth.” We all nod into our Red Stripes. Tomorrow, I will spend more time with him, but first the ship docks at St. Thomas, in the U.S.

Royal Caribbean’s leaders say they view liquified natural gas as a “transitional fuel,” and that they hope to continue to reduce the environmental impact of their ships moving forward. With progress on Icon of the Seas moving along, Royal Caribbean has already started building another large “icon class” ship. The cruise line expects that unnamed vessel to launch in 2025, per a statement. The vessel will undergo another round of sea trials later this year before officially launching in Miami early next year, according to Royal Caribbean. Icon of the Seas will primarily take cruisers to the islands of the eastern and western Caribbean on seven-night itineraries. Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) Encore is a part of the four-ship Breakaway Plus-class, a class known for mimicking small cities with numerous outdoor activities.

Wonder of the Seas® brings even bigger adventures to the award-winning Oasis Class. Like eight unique neighbourhoods, including the Suite Neighbourhood. A totally redesigned pool deck with more ways to soak up the sun – or shade – than ever before.

Symphony of the Seas was built at the then-named STX France shipyard and was delivered to the cruise line on March 23, 2018. The vessel departed on its first one-time special preview sailing on March 31, 2018. As I slink back to the ship after my brief jailbreak, the locals stand under umbrellas to gaze at and photograph the boat that towers over their small capital city. The limousines of the prime minister and his lackeys are parked beside the gangway. St. Kitts, I’ve been told, is one of the few islands that would allow a ship of this size to dock.

The crew also puts on an impressive amount of activities and events, so there’s always something to do on a sea day. Gross tonnage, or GT, is a measure of the ship’s internal volume. To calculate GT, first a ship’s volume is calculated by measuring from keel to funnel to the outside of the hull framing.

For example, Princess Cruises has a new ship on the list (the largest ever for that fleet), barely missing the top twenty. We look at the top 10 biggest cruise ships in the world by gross tonnage. This ever-changing list includes the Oasis-class and new LNG ships. One of the world’s biggest cruise ship, Symphony of the Seas®, the travel adventures are larger than life. From epic onboard thrills to revolutionary dining and entertainment, this ship will change how you holiday, whatever the experience you’re after. These two ships come in at a tie for the eighth-largest cruise ship in the world.

I just pitched this idea of Bradley Bradshaw (Miles Teller) growing up to become a naval aviator, and him and Maverick having this fractured relationship that had never been repaired. With Maverick getting called back to train this group of students to go on a mission that he knows is very, very dangerous. It’s one of those moments as a director, you have one on every film, where you’re on the spot to make a case for why this movie should be made. And at the end of the pitch, he picked up the phone, he called the head of Paramount Pictures and said, “We’re making another Top Gun.” It’s pretty impressive to see the power of a real movie star in that moment. The film’s most moving element comes during the brief screen time of Kilmer’s Iceman, whose health issues reflect those suffered by the actor in real life, generating resonant pathos.

After Hollywood is shot down, Maverick is scrambled alone due to catapult failure. He goes into a spin after encountering another jet wash, but recovers. Shaken, he breaks off temporarily, but then re-engages and shoots down three MiGs.

And in an era where big names like Leonardo DiCaprio and Sandra Bullock have no problem appearing in films for Netflix, Cruise remains a rare holdout. However, his career ends up taking him back to the United States Navy Strike Fighter Tactics School — otherwise known as TOP GUN — where he has to confront his past as he is charged with training a new squadron of fighter pilots. Aboard Enterprise, Iceman and Hollywood are assigned to provide air cover, with Maverick and RIO Merlin on standby. Iceman expresses his concerns to Stinger about Maverick's mental state, but is told to just do his job. Iceman and Hollywood are pulled into a dogfight with what first appear to be two MiGs, but turn out to be six.

Top Gun: Maverick — awards, how to watch and everything we know about the Tom Cruise sequel

And that was all by design, just because we wanted the focus to be on on the Maverick story, and his relationship with these characters. It’s really hard to make something that feels relevant, because the world is always changing. I think that was honestly the element that really grabbed Tom, because it gave him an emotional reason to return to this character.

It's been 36 years since Tom Cruise first took to the skies as Pete Mitchell with the call sign Maverick, the hotshot jet fighter pilot in "Top Gun." In 2024, the specialized film music label La-La Land Records released a 2 cd-set of the soundtrack. The second disc contains the same tracks that have been made available on previous editions.

Iceman destroys a fourth, and the remaining two MiGs withdraw. Upon their triumphant return to Enterprise, the pilots share their newfound respect for one another. Finally confident and able to let go of the guilt caused by the training accident, Maverick later throws Goose's dog tags overboard. Fresh off its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, David Cronenberg's "Crimes of the Future" opened with $1.1 million in 773 theaters. The Neon release, starring Viggo Mortensen, Lea Seydoux and Kristen Stewart, is the Canadian auteur's first film in eight years. Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore.

That makes this a work of breathtaking egomania outdone only by the fawning tone of Paramount’s press notes. Without proper preparation, however, g-forces exerted on the body by acceleration can result in illness or a dangerous loss of consciousness. To combat that, he personally designed a rigorous monthlong program that introduced his co-stars to different jets and instructors as they learned to fly and slowly built up their g-force tolerance. According to Men’s Health, the aspiring aviators eventually had to sustain up to eight g’s, or around 1,600 pounds of pressure.

On training Hop 19, Maverick abandons his wingman "Hollywood" to chase Viper. As a result, first Hollywood and then Maverick are defeated in a demonstration of the value of teamwork. Jester tells Maverick his flying is excellent, but criticizes him for leaving his wingman. Maverick's rival, Lieutenant Tom "Iceman" Kazansky, calls his behavior "foolish", "dangerous", and worse than the enemy, to which Maverick responds "I am dangerous". The 51st annual Vrbo Fiesta Bowl Parade presented by Lerner & Rowe is upon us! The attraction honors Arizona and the history of the game.

Tom Cruise scores first $100M opening with ‘Top Gun: Maverick’

There’s reciprocal warmth, even love, in a scene between Iceman and Maverick that acknowledges the characters’ hard-won bond as well as the rivalry that preceded it, with gentle humor. The new film has Cruise reprising the role of Maverick, who returns to the elite aviation training program to train the next generation of flyers, including Miles Teller, Glen Powell, Monica Barbaro, Greg Tarzan Davis, Danny Ramirez, Lewis Pullman and Jay Ellis. Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm and Val Kilmer, reprising his role from the original, also star.

One was that Val Kilmer, who has difficulty speaking after throat cancer and numerous trachea surgeries, return to play Iceman. (The actor appears briefly but poignantly.) Another was that all the actors playing pilots be trained to ride in F-16s and withstand higher G-forces. And at the box office, “Top Gun” did nearly reach “Star Wars” proportions. It was the No. 1 film of 1986, a rocket-boosted, testosterone-fueled sensation that established the then 24-year-old Tom Cruise as a major star. It made Bomber jackets, Aviator sunglasses and playing homoerotic games of beach volleyball in jeans hip just as it did military service. In the jingoist Reagan-era ‘80s, “Top Gun” was about as American as it gets.

Maverick and Goose eject, but Goose slams into the jettisoned aircraft canopy and dies. Privately, Jester tells Viper that while he admires Maverick's skill, he is not sure if he would trust him as a teammate in combat. In class, Charlie objects to Maverick's aggressive tactics against the MiG-28, but privately tells him she admires his flying; they begin a romantic relationship. Before the first day of instruction, Maverick unsuccessfully approaches a woman at a bar. He learns the next day she is an astrophysicist and civilian Top Gun instructor, Charlotte "Charlie" Blackwood. She becomes interested in Maverick upon learning of his inverted maneuver with a MiG-28.

CANNES, France — It has been 30 years since Tom Cruise attended the Cannes Film Festival, and it’s evident the festival would like to make up for lost time. This is definitely a film that benefits from the Imax experience and the big-ass soundscape that comes with it. The muscular score by Harold Faltermeyer, Lady Gaga and Hans Zimmer also pulls its weight, with Gaga’s song, “Hold My Hand,” getting prime romantic placement.

The cast — including Monica Barbaro, Glen Powell, Greg Tarzan Davis, Jay Ellis, Danny Ramirez, Miles Teller, and Lewis Pullman — filled out daily forms for Cruise to review until they were ready for real Navy pilots to take them up in F/A-18s equipped with six IMAX-quality cameras. (The Pentagon reportedly does not allow nonmilitary personnel to operate F/A-18s.) From puking to getting personalized feedback, here’s what Cruise’s co-stars have described going through during the Top Gun training made by “Maverick” himself. He then turned his attention back to the festival and his love for cinema. “I make these movies for all of you.” Fremaux then offered a special surprise, announcing that the festival was presenting Cruise with a Palme d’Or. Cruise, looking speechless, accepted with a “Wow,” as the audience stood up for another standing ovation, one of the only times in recent memory that an actor has received multiple standing ovations prior to the first frame of a film hitting the screen.

Maverick zooms into the Naval base on his Kawasaki each day and continues to get his kicks as a daredevil test pilot, resisting the advancement in rank from captain that would have grounded him by now. But when his aerial showboating pisses off Admiral Cain (Ed Harris), who’s pushing to transition to drone aircrafts and make stick jockeys obsolete, Maverick gets his wings clipped. The ace fighter pilot returns 36 years after first feeling the need for speed in Joseph Kosinski’s sequel, also starring Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly and Jon Hamm.

It’s hard to think of many more emblematic products of the rah-rah patriotism of the Reagan years, with its vigorous salute to American exceptionalism and triumph over a Cold War enemy left purposely vague — hey, don’t want to shut out a lucrative foreign market. Michael Balderston is a DC-based entertainment and assistant managing editor for What to Watch, who has previously written about the TV and movies with TV Technology, Awards Circuit and regional publications. Spending most of his time watching new movies at the theater or classics on TCM, some of Michael's favorite movies include Casablanca, Moulin Rouge! On the TV side he enjoys Only Murders in the Building, Yellowstone, The Boys, Game of Thrones and is always up for a Seinfeld rerun.

Anyone who has seen the documentary Val on Prime Video knows that Kilmer currently uses a voice box to speak after battling throat cancer. Despite his health concerns, Cruise was adamant that Kilmer would return for the sequel. Giorgio Moroder and Tom Whitlock worked on numerous songs including the Oscar-winning "Take My Breath Away". Kenny Loggins performed two songs on the soundtrack, "Playing with the Boys", and "Danger Zone".

Chic tavernas with open terraces line the sea and after the sun dips down, the island sizzles with youthful energy.
