Warning: This post contains spoilers for Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning Part One
Seven movies into the franchise, Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning Part One is retconning Ethan Hunt’s backstory—along with that of Luther, Benji, and the rest of the IMF. In the newest Mission:Impossible movie, moviegoers find out that all the spies in the IMF—that’s the Impossible Mission Force, not the International Monetary Fund—are former criminals who were given the choice between life imprisonment or serving their government.
Tina Robison, a gynecologic oncologist, sends all her patients of child-bearing age for counseling about ways to safeguard their fertility after they’ve been handed a cancer diagnosis.
