The Onion’s Top Gun Review: Maverick Meets Mockery
In a classic move of satire, The Onion has taken to the skies with ‘The Onion Film Standard: Top Gun’, skewering the iconic Tom Cruise jet-fest. The article doesn’t just salute the danger zone; it delivers a one-two punch of humor by blending aviation bravado and absurdity. As The Onion so crisply summarizes, this ain't your typical blockbuster review, it's a high-flying roast that even Maverick would find hard to dodge. The take-off is comedic gold, with a fearless dive into Tom Cruise’s air show with all the subtlety of a sonic boom.

Tell me you’re stuck in the ‘80s without telling me you’re stuck in the ‘80s: The Onion’s Top Gun review hits harder than Tom Cruise’s haircut—still flying high on pure nostalgia and no actual flying skills.
This is giving big ‘watch-movie-get-debriefed-by-satirists’ energy. Because why just watch a blockbuster when you can get an Onion roast that’s sharper than Maverick’s flying skills?
The Onion just turned Top Gun into the Danger Zone of comedy. If Tom Cruise ever needed a reminder that Hollywood’s most lethal weapon is satire, consider your F-14 shot.
