that's not your decision to MAKE, ethan! i am a FIELD AGENT, i know the risks! more than that, i am your FRIEND, no matter what i tell the polygraph every week! now you CALLED ME because you needed my help! and you still do! so i am STAYING! and that is all we are gonna say about that!
that one singular scene proves why rogue nation is the best mission impossible film.
I really hope that in MI Dead reckoning part 2 they will show us at least 20 minutes of how Ethan and Benji are working together. Just two of them. That's how they ended DR part 1, now please give us some Benji and Ethan like it was in the Rogue Nation
I just read that there is a "baffling decision" made for Ilsa's character in Dead Reckoning Part One. I am going to wait for spoilers, and if she dies, I am never watching another Mission Impossible movie, including DRP1. Because THAT would be a truly baffling decision, one that would kill my enthusiasm for the entire franchise.
Homage to Ilsa Faust, The Lady of Mission: Impossible series. A legend, a moment, a rescuer Ethan sorely needs 💖✨✨✨
Wdc, she went Ghost like Julia did, it even makes sense to believably push a spy out of grid to let her to her job. And fake death is mighty helpful in that.
I really do need to compose a much longer, detailed post about the parallels between Benji and Ilsa but am currently vibrating at the sudden realization of how Rogue Nation establishes early on how both are trapped, surveilled, and demeaned within the organizations they’re working for- Ilsa with The Syndicate and Benji with the CIA. Neither of them want to be in that position, with those groups, but have little choice since they’re fundamentally alone with virtually no support.
Until of course, Ethan offers them each a way out.
