This is how you show RESPECT and HONOR for legacy characters and their relationships. Beautiful scene.

[trinaq]

I'm so glad that they were able to get Val Kilmer back as Iceman, and incorporated his real life illness into the script. Such an emotional scene.

[katwalker]

At the end of the scene, when Val asks, “Who’s the better pilot? You or me?”, you can see in his face Iceman, young, confident, and in all his glory. Thank you, Val, for bringing such a terrific character full circle. You are an incredible actor❤

[joshrabatin]

The fact that they brought back Val Kilmer acknowledging and appreciating his chemotherapy and two tracheotomies through his lengthy battle with cancer is such a respectful gesture beyond the realm of acting that is heartbreaking and wholesome at the same time

[clydebalcom]

It's good seeing Val Kilmer again. He's been through hell, but he's still kicking. I got a boatload of respect for him.

[jimbo]

By far and away my favorite scene in the movie. Two guys who in their uber-competitive youth looked and felt indestructible are facing the inexorable reality of time, now well aware of both their weaknesses and mortality. Despite that, they're still able to draw on their mutual professional respect and genuine friendship. It's really a beautiful ode to the inevitability of growing old.

[maryhales]

I teared up in the theater when Val Kilmer started speaking. What a wonderful scene, and a thoughtful way to incorporate Kilmer's real-life illnesses into the script.

[MPDLR]

Fan since the 80's ...and I'll admit this without being embarrassed. It does my heart so much good to know that Maverick and Iceman became brothers. really, I mean it.

[ashleywilliams]

"It's time to let go". 36 years of guilt on full display of Maverivk's face. Such a powerful scene.

[gorrow]

Tom didn’t want to do this sequel without Val in it, and it was definitely the right call because it’s such a powerful scene.

[dragonfly]

When they say goodbye with a hug you can feel it.

[a.utobotm]

the fact that Val Kilmer worked SO HARD, to get those lines done right and without the use of his voice box is insane . it took a lot of training, a lot of pain, and he made this scene all the more WONDERFUL for it . Even after everything he’s been through, Val Kilmer’s still got it .

[wolfzillaproductions]

Even with his cancer problem, Kilmer’s still got it all these years later. Mad respect to him

[BenJPics]

One of the best reunion scenes between characters I've personally seen in a while. The right amount of dialouge, nothing too sappy, and the appropriate expressions on the faces to deliver a emotional reconcile.

And huge props to the unit known as Val Kilmer for being willing to be the film in spite of his illness.

[ZeFroznne]

After fighting stage 4 cancer, watching this makes me wanna cry. I am wishing Val the absolute best in his recovery. I know how hard it really is after losing over 7 inches of my small intestine and having to adjust my diet around it, the pain and discomfort in my right hip, all of it. Even after 2+ years I still get pain and all that. ❤ We love ya Val! ❤

[deathstrike]

This scene was heartbreaking. Two of the finest aviators Top Gun had ever produced sitting in the same office. Once bitter rivals, now warm friends. And the emotion and pain Mitchell showed could ONLY be shown to one of equal stature (not rank) to him. Iceman saw his pain, a pain lasting over 36 years. And in the only token of respect Ice could give such a decorated fighter pilot was "The Navy needs Maverick, the kids need Maverick, that is why I fought for you all these years."

Iceman showed so much admiration for Maverick in that simple statement, knowing how much pain he himself was in. And saying this from a dying man. That is something anyone with any feeling could treasure. Maverick at that point realized he owed Ice so much. And if he pulled this mission off, it would be the thanks Ice would have deserved.

[taajwarpope]

The emotional chemistry between Maverick and Iceman is phenomenal and it's a reminder that time can change you.

[delevadova]

Word on the street is it was emotionally hard for Val to do this scene, Tom had to convince him. However that happened, tears filled my eyes from watching this, it's just beautiful timing. Val Kilmer, you are the man! I love you buddy, thank you for everything you did for the movies I love!

[chinfuzzchet]

That wasn't acting, . that was real heart emotion.

[nterzept]

It feels amazing how Maverick's greatest rival became his shoulder to cry on. Loved how Iceman was there for Maverick and reached out to him.
