[QUOTE="chuckdee, post: 9674579, member: 6804357"] I didn't see it that way- I saw it as the entity had already put it's plan into motion, and it was a given, if not for the interference of the IMF. Sort of like the way I do a lot of my adventures - I plan for how they will unfold if the players don't intervene, then the players intervene... or not. In the first one, it felt like the entity was unstoppable, honestly. The IMF was behind the eight ball more than is even normal for these movies; it got the same feeling I got in Rogue One and The Empire Strikes Back. This one, even with the outlandishness of the plan, didn't feel hopeless, because they were acting, instead of reacting. It sort of seems like they set it up that way. I know they said in the original cut, Hunt was going to die. They even telegraphed it since he didn't have on the parachute when he boarded the biplane, and Gabriel said I'm the only one with a parachute. He was going to do the upload in the air and land hard. But they might have seen how they are using Wick in the spin-offs, and wanted to leave it open to use Hunt in the same way. They have some interesting characters to build off of- characters that are more proactive than the normal IMF backups. [/QUOTE]
