Ethan and Benji being in sync while they're miles apart | Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning

Tom and McQ talk about filming these scenes in the commentary

Benji Dunn + ⊙０⊙

I think the coolest thing McQ did with Benji is make him so so competent as an agent while keeping his already established traits of being flustered and a little goofy. Bro can lie easily and pass a CIA polygraph, can figure out how to diffuse a nuclear bomb and has enough medical know-how to talk through an operation, but he also needs a few extra seconds to open the door on a plane with his tablet because he is under a lot of pressure and his loony toons ass friend is hanging on the side of it while its airborne

#completely obsessed with him still tbh.#I love the nuance that he is both brilliant and imperfect. it's very human.#He's not the gritty fearless big-muscle hero. He's not the hopeless comic relief either.#benji dunn

the scene in tfr when ethan says “im expendable and neither of you are” to grace and benji…how much pain do you think it caused benji to say “he’s right”

It's like how just before Ethan got in the Entity coffin, Benji was about to say something then stopped himself. He knows that sometimes the dangerous/ painful positions Ethan puts himself in are entirely necessary, but hates to see it anyway.

Likewise, I don't think Ethan would be upset with Benji when he finds out he hid his bullet wound. If Benji did tell him and it caused Ethan to be delayed by even a few seconds going after Gabriel, he would have missed grabbing the red plane and the world would have ended.

Sometimes the objectively best decision in the long run goes directly against what they want (to not be in pain/ danger or to see each other in pain/ danger), but they do it anyway. Not letting emotions get the best of them shows a lot of maturity and professionalism.

#mission: impossible #benji dunn #I have read some fics that include Ethan being angry at Benji for hiding the wound and I don't feel like that is true to Ethan's character.#He'd be upset that Benji is is hurt expecially after the mission when it is safer to feel emotional but not upset AT Benji y'know

where you go, i go

Can’t believe this became canon; because Ethan literally went where Benji had gone

#sobbing #i've been thinking about Benthan a lot recently #no one is doing it like them #benthan #benji dunn #mission: impossible

I re-watched Mission: Impossible (1996) again, and as I always have Benji on the brain, I was struck by a little parallel.

When Jim pretends to be shot in his abdomen, he purposely makes sure Ethan knows this and presents his bloody hands to his video feed. When Benji did get shot in his abdomen, he purposely hides this fact until Ethan is gone, only revealing his pain and bloody hands after Ethan left.

Jim and Benji are/ were people Ethan put his trust in, and both showed literal opposite lies to Ethan. Jim did so because of a selfish plan, and Benji because of a selfless one.

It doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things, but I just love Benji. Ethan has been around so many people who will betray, hurt or use him. But not Benji, never Benji. He's just so good.

#benji dunn #mission impossible #hi thanks for checking in. i'm still thanking about Benji Dunn everyday.#i'm not saying any parallel was on purpose or not on purpose btw. idk. it's just something me (terminally MI-brained) noticed.#mission impossible 1996 #mission impossible the final reckoning

heyyy-its-j

Ethan's team in The Final Reckoning is genuinely so fucking funny. It's literally

The thief sent to rob him

The assassin sent to kill him

One of the clandestine service agents sent to arrest him

His tech guy he's known for twenty years (who gets shot)

His other tech guy he's known for thirty years (who gets blown up)

The guy he accidentally got reassigned to the Arctic back in the 90s

That guy's wife

#that's part of what makes them such a good team! i love them!
