After his incident that caused Maverick to be on his own, i feel really opened the move to different possible endings not just the same old boring, predictable ending most movies include. Goose was never seen as a main part of the film in my eyes, i just thought of him as Maverick’s sidekick. Goose was cut short before being able to show the audience his true meaning in the movie causing my opinion of him to be lackluster. Especially due to the fact that so many characters were beautifully incorporated leaving little room for Goose to shine. Goose in the movie is only made relevant because he is Maverick’s sidekick. Goose was a character with an important role, yet he did not seem that important in the film, which is where the actor got it wrong on how to play the character. When Goose was gone Maverick was still able to Succeed, but if Goose portrayed himself as someone Maverick could not live without, when Goose left the audience might feel more sympathy towards Maverick on having to fly without someone he trusted and someone who was so important to him. A positive i saw from Goose was that he showed how much he tried to protect Maverick from becoming too outgoing, and you can clearly tell Goose is looking out for his
