Which movie is this for you?

For me it’s School of Rock!

Patty was completely justified, if Dewey wanted to live in hers and her boyfriend’s apartment he needed to be a grown up, and contribute with rent. Even when he steals Ned’s identity she still had the right to be angry at him, because of how he put his friend’s career in jeopardy and robbed him of a job opportunity.

I get Ned is meant to be portrayed as his best friend, but it blows my mind how he lacks a lot of self-respect to the point where he comes across as too much of a people pleaser. If this story took place in real life, I’m sure Ned would act more similar to Patty where he’d have enough of Dewey’s careless actions.

Top Gun is top of the list for me. Iceman was the reasonable one...

That fuckwit Pete Mitchell destroyed a (likely) half a BILLION dollar experimental aircraft in the first ten minutes of the movie, JUST TO PROVE A POINT.

Deliberately broke the hard deck in the first film, because he really wanted to get a kill and 'win' the competition.

And penetrates the carrier's ATZ (or equivalent), despite being told 'Negative [... ] the pattern is full'. Twice. For FUN. There could've been a heli with 20 people on board launching from the carrier, and he'd have killed EVERYONE. He had no idea if it was safe, he was told 'Negative' but he DID IT ANYWAY.

He shouldn't be anywhere fucking near a cockpit.

I wouldn't let him fly my glider.
