Why Bradley Bradshaw is Anakin Skywalker

Foreword: This is a weird overlap in fandoms, but this is something that I’ve been thinking about for weeks now and I can’t get it out of my head: so you, the fine people of Tumblr shall be my audience as I stand on my virtual soapbox and preach about hot angsty men!

When I first watched Top Gun: Maverick, something about Bradley didn’t sit right with me. He was irritating and annoying, with his displaced anger and bratty personality. It was so confusing to me: Goose’s son shouldn’t be such a whiny little kid.

The more I sat with it, the more I came to compare him with Anakin.

Anakin is also known for his displaced anger and bratty personality. It’s written off as poor writing, but seeing it on another character is a totally different experience.

Anakin is frustrated that he was kept from becoming a Jedi Master by Obi-Wan, despite his skills and everything he’s been through.

Bradley is frustrated that Maverick prevented him from getting into the Naval Academy, despite everything he had been through and how badly he wanted it.

Anakin never met his dad, and his mother died when he needed her the most.

Bradley was so little when Goose died that I doubt he remembers much of him, and his mother died before Bradley was out of high school.^1

They’re both sexy pilots with father figures they despise.

Go watch Revenge of the Sith, then watch Top Gun: Maverick and think about it like that. It makes a lot more sense and both characters are a bit more bearable if you look at them through the lens of a scared kid whose life isn’t in their control.

Plus they’re both hot and sexy

^1 We don’t actually know when Carole dies, but she makes Maverick promise to keep Bradley from becoming a pilot, so it makes sense for it to be some time before he’s an adult, most likely when he is starting to think about college.

Bonus pictures because I love them!

Until I'm Swollen, Until Im Crying, Until I Cant Walk, Until Im Numb, Until My Throat Hurts, Until My

until I'm swollen, until im crying, until i cant walk, until im numb, until my throat hurts, until my cheeks are red, until the neighbours know his name, until my leg is useless, until my eyes are rolled back and it stays there, until my whole body shakes, until my bones disconnect, until i pass out, until all my holes are filled, until i can't breathe, until it gets longer than before, until i remember the length of it, until the the end of time, until it reaches my stomach, until hes grunting and growling, until the whole world hears, until he's out of juice, we aren't ever stopping, the bed could break, the floor could cave in, and there could be a killer natural disaster outside but we aren't stopping, until invent a new position, umtil im trembling underneath, until i forgot how to talk, I'll ride him until i can't breathe, until the room stinks, until the blood in my body turns white like his juice, until my legs are shaking, until i can't feel my legs, you can top me.
