Gabe deserved to die at the end


Gabe was a total dik at the end why did he throw the money into the blades of the helicopter? Qualen upheld his part of the deal and released the girl safely...and Gabe had to be a hero and not let qualen fly off w the cash. Too bad Gabe didn't go down w the copter w qualen...he haD reason to be upset but at that point he had the girl back and trying to stop qualen did nothing but endanger everyone including himself.

Qualen would have shot him and the girl as soon as he had the money. I wouldn't have let him get away with that money either, he definitely didn't deserve it after all the people he killed. Gabe did the right thing. That's silly to say he should have died for doing that. He made the right choice

reply

Gabe knew that Qualan wouldn't have let either one of them get too far.

It's only a movie. No need to be a total drama queen about it.

"Qualen upheld his part of the deal and released the girl safely"

Is that a joke? There's no moral obligation to honor a "deal" made with a murderer and kidnapper, especially when the "deal" was forced via kidnapping under the threat of murder.

"Too bad Gabe didn't go down w the copter w qualen"

You're an idiot.

"he haD reason to be upset but at that point he had the girl back and trying to stop qualen did nothing but endanger everyone including himself."

"Did nothing"? That's false, obviously. It resulted in Qualen's death, which he certainly had coming.

reply

No way would Qualen be dumb enough to throw away his only bargaining chip like that.

He’d have been better off getting Gabe to put down the money as he puts down Jessie, when both are on the ground they both back away slowly.
