In 'Top Gun,' making this paragon of excellence the villain only reflects badly on the daredevil.
It's a common idea that a film’s protagonist should be flawed and that they should undergo character development through which they overcome those flaws. So, it makes sense that naval aviator Pete “Maverick” Mitchell would be the protagonist of Top Gun; despite his skill as a pilot, he has the most to learn out of all his peers.
When Maverick does undergo his requisite character development, his personal growth is largely due to the fact that he becomes more like Iceman: During the final conflict, he stops himself from allowing his emotions to dictate his actions and becomes Iceman’s wingman when his first wingman is shot down. It would be one thing if Maverick acknowledged that part of his rivalry with Iceman was the knowledge that he actually did have something to learn from him.
After Maverick abandons his wingman, Iceman tells him “the enemy’s dangerous, but right now you’re worse than the enemy… You may not like the guys flying with you, they may not like you, but whose side are you on?” When the students enter real-life combat after graduation, Ice voices his doubts about whether it’s wise for Maverick to go up into the air.
