The Onionâs Top Gun Review: Maverick Meets Mockery
In a classic move of satire, The Onion has taken to the skies with âThe Onion Film Standard: Top Gunâ, skewering the iconic Tom Cruise jet-fest. The article doesnât 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 Cruiseâs air show with all the subtlety of a sonic boom.

Tell me youâre stuck in the â80s without telling me youâre stuck in the â80s: The Onionâs Top Gun review hits harder than Tom Cruiseâs haircutâstill flying high on pure nostalgia and no actual flying skills.
This is giving big âwatch-movie-get-debriefed-by-satiristsâ energy. Because why just watch a blockbuster when you can get an Onion roast thatâs sharper than Maverickâs flying skills?
The Onion just turned Top Gun into the Danger Zone of comedy. If Tom Cruise ever needed a reminder that Hollywoodâs most lethal weapon is satire, consider your F-14 shot.
