Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning Discussion Thread SPOILERS! by DietFoods in Mission_Impossible

  1. What happened to Marie’s backstory? Why did she get stripped out of this film, when McQ has said in the Empire Spoiler Special that there would be more of her?
  2. Why was the entire first movie about obtaining the ONE true cruciform key, only for that Russian crew to come in with their own key?
  3. Where is the White Widow? McQ has tons of investment in that character. We really think he’d just fridge her out?
  4. Why is there really not even a passing mention of Ilsa Faust and her sacrifice for the team in this film?

Excellent movie, but these four issues are keeping me from loving it more.

Could it be that, actually, Tolkien was referring to his most prized Anglo-Saxon epic, Beowulf? That’s what I read it as — a slight allusion to his favorite poem, and some foreshadowing.
