The issue with Oppenheimer was the runtime, too many characters and lack of empathy. At least with Top Gun Maverick, that has likable characters or characters with good character development and *ZERO* sjw crap. Not to mention, I could feel sorry for Maverick and understand why he did what he did to protect Rooster. He didn't spout shitty lines about "it wasn't you who suffered!" or shit like that and Rooster ends up earning his respect and forgiving him. Maverick kept his promise to Goose and Iceman and got a happy ending and a hot new girlfriend.
