Mission Impossible 7 Notice: 3
Might be throw away line but when (ima say the whole scene rq)
Benji says: “I am so.”
Luther: “You are not.”
Benji: “Ethan would you care to explain to our friend the Net Ranger, how I am just as capable of writing code as he is.”
Ethan: “No comment.”
Benji: “Oh what you figure that Fenies Freak (love that nickname btw) here is gonna single handedly work out a way to kill the Entity while I hold his suturing iron.”
Ethan: “Probably.”
Luther: “Definitely.”
This could actually mean something along the lines of who kills the entity or like writes the code to. (Or like I said before it’s just a throw away line 🥲).
Not really a notice but Benji’s quite, absolutely pissed, but shaken to his very core “Bastard.” Just stole my heart and crushed it.
Yaaas Benji come save your bbg boyfriend who’s handcuffed to a steering wheel ☺️. (Also damn Simon you look good in that fit).
(Also little thing I noticed, Benji kept looking at Ethan with his little dopey smile even while Ethan’s eye focus changed to Ilsa).
Love how Benji’s first thought after their coms are breached is to “Find Ethan” it’s just his absolute top priority even without thinking about it.
(Also ayo Benji driving a boat!)
(And I’m just going to say it Benji’s catch phrase like Ethan’s “Mission Accomplished” should be “You are Dunn”).
Mission Impossible Notice: 4
(For reasons I am not posting many images of the movie but this one I absolutely had to).
Just Benji sitting dejectedly by him self in the corner doing absolutely nothing breaks my heart on completely new levels. (And the thing is you can probably guess what he’s thinking about. It could be that he’s blaming himself for Ilsa, that he has absolutely no idea how to react to it or what to do, or he’s just thankful it wasn’t Ethan but still upset by it).
Then in the next scene of Benji while Luthers discussing stuff it shows him wiping his face off which indicates he was crying but doesn’t want to show anyone, he then just goes straight back into agent mode and walks out of his little broom closet/room to join the others.
God such a nice refresher to listen to Ethan and Benji bicker like an old married couple again. And Benji just forcing Ethan to take a step back and breath after slightly exploding on him.😌
Finale thoughts about Dead Reckoning
Aight so pretty much finished only have 3 minutes left so I’m just going to go over anything I wanted to say to finish it.
So here are my thoughts (and prayers) about this movie. Idk why but I absolutely loved the sound design in this movie it was just top notch, as well as the crazy stunt in this one.
The main character I’m worried for in MI-8 (other than Ethan bc protagonist) is Benji. Mainly because of how dependent he is on his tech. Unlike Luther who’s older than him and who got disenvowed without any kind of connection to technology allowed, so he knows how to survive without it and do what he’s has to without it. Also Kittredge saying “The closer someone gets to you, the harder it is to keep them alive.” While the camera is on Benji scares the fuck out of me for the next movie. (Also his cute little “Thank god” when he see’s Ethan gliding down warms my heart). Furthermore, Kittredge says “-should any of your members be caught or killed,- their sacrifice will have been in vain.” While mostly the camera is on Benji for the beginning of that line.
Things I’m hoping for in MI-8 is to have some Ethan and Benji scenes like in Rogue Nation with Benji’s whole I’m your “friend” monologue but it’s longer and they discuss more things about like their relationship. I’ll even just take them interacting because we don’t have many long scene of it only bits and pieces scattered through out the movies.
ALSO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GIVE US BENJI’S BACKSTORY MCQ! WE’RE BEGGING ON OUR KNEES!
So uh yeah that’s pretty much the main jist of what I wanted to say about Dead Reckoning and my thoughts about future things, so time to wait a year for MI-8!
(And yes it is 1 am 🥲).
POV you have every scene you need for an edit except ONE! (Yes this is happening to me rn).
Had this idea in my head for a couple days now. :)
(Also the quality drop… why).
TW: Flashing lights
App: CapCut
Time: 1 hour 31 minutes
Yes I know I already have like 50+ ideas written down but I’m starting something new bc I feel motivated by these sappy old men. (Probably skipped one or two so mb if I did, also if you have a song idea for background music just let me know 👍). Gonna just be making this into a compilation.
(Also any notes after the numbers only make sense to my tired brain so uh yeah).
https://youtu.be/Vd70uRdjNHw?si=Q1FagDcqO8A58B21 6:05 will always hold a special place in my heart. ♥️
I’m not starting something new even though I’m almost finished with something else… you are.
Progress! (Surprisingly).
(Don’t mind my notes lol).
Plan editing is so fun HAhaAHaahHahHahhHha!
(I might be going a bit insane it is currently 2 am but I wanted to atleast get this done, and yes I am doing this on my phone instead of my laptop for some insane reason as well).
I love this scene from Ghost Protocol and how it’s acted out, but somehow even though I’ve rewatched this movie multiple times I noticed something I’d missed in my previous watch throughs of this scene in particular.
You can see during this entire scene Benji’s hunched over hugging a pillow, which I find absolutely ADORABLE.
(Also I find this scene to be a good example of sassy Benji ✨💅).
Official Mission Impossible’s Instagram is posting Benthan.♥️✨ (gotta get us hyped for MI-8, I see…).
Petition for Benji to say “Fuck” in MI-8.
(Yes I know filmings done shhhhhh…)
Bro, why have I never seen this photo before???
