Y'all I'm still of the mindset that canon! Whiskey's death is for the most part Ginger's fault. She's known the man for years, knows the memory inducing story of his baby mama's death.
So given the fact she knows drug dealers killed his baby mama and unborn son, WHY the fuck would you willingly return his memory before Poppy was dealt with? WHY would you tell him Eggsy, Galahad and Merlin had gone to deal with her? WHY would you go prep the jet for a man you've just treated for a traumatic shot to the head, restored his memory with the traumatic shock of his baby and baby mama's death?
You'd like to think Ginger is smart enough to look at what's going to play out, Jack's history of emotional torture caused by drug users and have a 💡 moment before going 'Ya know, I think I'm just going to keep him sedated for a little while and restore his memory after Poppy's handled.'
Jack deserved so much better than to thrown under surprise villain bus. As well as the fucking meat grinder.
I completely 100% agree with you. It was already established earlier on in the film that going through the alpha gel treatment impairs one’s coordination (which was why Harry couldn’t fight all those people in the bar like he used to). She had to have known that his mental state would be impaired as well, considering the regaining of his memories would probably bring all of that old pain right to the forefront of his mind again. I firmly believe that he didn’t even intend to sabotage the antidote until after he was revived.
Personally, I think she had an ulterior motive in sending him out into such a dangerous situation. Remember how it’s offhandedly mentioned that the only thing stopping her from being a field agent was Whiskey, and how he was always the only one to vote against her? I think she saw her opportunity as soon as he woke up and told her what had happened with Harry. She’s intelligent, strategic, and calculating. She knows how to get what she wants, and what she wanted was to be a field agent. Whiskey was the only thing standing in her way, and here he was giving her a way to innocently get rid of him on a silver platter.
Anyway I rambled but I completely agree lol
