Okay wait no I’m not done. So on top of this, Gabe looks just 1000% done? Like, he’s had it with this, you turkeys, he’ll just do his job and you go hero it up or whatever.
And that attitude makes so much sense if this is how Jack’s been operating? Like. If you stay in the open, like Jack does, then you’ve got two options: you either save lives no matter who you piss off doing it, or else you back off when the people in charge tell you to and you let it happen.
Gabe seems to take option #3: lie to them and then go do what you want under the radar anyway.
And maybe that’s what he and Jack fought about so bitterly. But Jack chose his path, and now Gabe’s just waiting for it all to finish burning down around them, because that’s the only way this was all going to go.
Imagine that argument, though. Which do you pick: martyrdom, becoming a puppet, or meddling in world affairs with total lack of transparency or accountability?
Also, no wonder if the UN wanted Jack’s head after a stunt like this. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were talking about court martialing him.
Also also, no wonder if they worried about former Overwatch agents going vigilante after they shut it down. They were basically willing to operate that way even when they had authority.
