[quote=Anonymous]He did not get a pass, his career was significantly effected for years. He has leaned heavily on Mission Impossible for the last decade.

What changed in the last few years was the movie industry almost collapsing in on itself from COVID. Despite his substantial personal issues, he has always been MR MOVIE STAR. He is committed to making big films on the big screen and he works extremely hard when he's on set. He's in the trenches and freakishly committed. His work ethic is famous.

And when he had Top Gun 2 ready to roll mid pandemic he refused to send it to streaming. He held onto it for like over a year refusing to cave to the demands to push it to streamers 110% committed to a theatrical release. And it became the first real post COVID blockbuster literally saving some theaters and reigniting the theatrical release business concept as it was teetering on the edge of caving to streamers. It paved the way for Barbenheimer, which he ALSO strenuously promoted, taking pictures of himself going to both movies.

All of this probably seems irrelevant or like I'm slavering over Tom Cruise. I think he's repellent as a human. But he also positioned himself as like 'the savior of the movie industry' post COVID and then actually kinda sorta DID that and so in the industry that went a long long long long way towards Hollywood accepting his renormalization in the public eye.

He will never be 1999 Tom Cruise again though. But the last four years he made up with Hollywood so his career will likely be up up up for however long he wants it to be. [/quote]
