Comeback of the day

Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson – you remember – has been to watch the new(ish) Top Gun film and he’s not happy.

Specifically, he’s not happy about this …

In this year’s @TopGunMovie, they dangerously fly under the radar, through a narrow, winding canyon to destroy a target, avoiding multiple banks of surface-to-air missiles.

But why not first take out the missile banks? Could then fly without daredevil maneuvers. Just sayin’. pic.twitter.com/2FYyUjJdp1

… and we’re glad he shared his thoughts on Twitter because it prompted this perfectly worded comeback.

Because it would alert the enemy jets. It’s covered in the movie. Christ, Neil.

This is a larger issue with our current pop culture commentary – people are so busy trying to outsmart the movie for online clout that they’re not actually paying attention to the movie itself. https://t.co/cFhWqwCF9U

It’s not the first time @neiltyson has been kept away at night by Top Gun, as you might have seen this week.

Late to the party here, but In this year’s @TopGunMovie, @TomCruise’s character Maverick ejects from a hypersonic plane at Mach 10.5, before it crashed.

He survived with no injuries.

At that air speed, his body would splatter like a chainmail glove swatting a worm. Just sayin’. pic.twitter.com/YP9IKVc8VS

And this happened.

Depends on his altitude. I was going Mach 25 when I left the ISS on a spacewalk and that was just fine. https://t.co/w2LP91SX06
