Ethan Hunt Doesn’t Die in the New ‘Mission Impossible,’ But They Considered It

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-09-20 07:00:11

When the eighth Mission: Impossible film changed its title to “The Final Reckoning,” we all had the same thought: Tom Cruise’s character, Ethan Hunt, was going to die. It would have been the most obvious way to add some real finality to the franchise, but we now know that doesn’t happen. Instead, Ethan lives, as does his sworn enemy, the Entity. And, in a new interview, writer-director Christopher McQuarrie discussed those crucial decisions and many more. In an extended, spoiler-filled conversa

The Trump administration has locked horns with a federal judge who ruled on Monday that more than $1 billion in DEI-fueled cuts to federal health research clearly discriminated against racial minorities and LGBTQ+ people. In what The New York Times dubbed a “damning assessment” of Trump’s motives, Judge Williams G. Young ruled from the bench that the cuts were “void and illegal,” saying it was his “duty” to immediately order funding restored. “I would be blind not to call it out,” Young said,

Now it’s a compact SUV—or, more accurately, a crossover utility vehicle built on passenger-vehicle underpinnings. The new Leaf will offer a range of up to 303 miles, Nissan says, from a 75-kilowatt-hour battery pack powering a 160-kilowatt (214-horsepower) motor that produces 261 pound-feet (354 newton-meters) of torque.

Sycophancy can make AI chatbots respond in a way that’s overly agreeable or flattering. And while having a digital hype person might not seem like a dangerous thing, it is actually a tactic used by tech companies to keep users talking with their bots and returning to their platforms.
