'''You'd Expect''': Whiskey would immediately kill Eggsy and Harry, he must have seen the mass amount of dead soldiers when he entered. Not only that but both Eggsy and Harry are highly trained agents, determined to save the world, they outnumber him and they had killed Poppy's militia. Also Whiskey doesn't need Harry or Eggsy alive so he shouldn't bother holding either of them hostage and killing them would have made Whiskey's plan alot easier since it's just a matter of waiting it out.\\

'''Instead''': She does absolutely nothing, meaning that Eggsy and Harry are caught off-guard and forced into a prolonged fight with Whiskey at a time when victims of the tainted drugs are ''already dying'' and every minute counts. And, despite knowing about the tragic circumstances surrounding the death of Whiskey's wife, it never even even occurred to her that such an event (''especially'' after it was used to break his amnesia and was thus a very open wound) might make Whiskey unreliable in a situation like this.

'''Instead''': Whiskey uses his lasso to hold Harry as hostage then tells Eggsy to slide the computer to him. When Eggsy distracts Whiskey with his gadget, Whiskey puts up a decent fight but he is killed when the pair force him into Poppy's meat grinder. Even if Whiskey was hesitant to kill Eggsy due to the film's implications of having LikeASonToMe affections towards him, there's no reason for Whiskey to not kill Harry on the spot.\\

'''Instead''': Charlie, who is shown to be nothing but smug, proud and a DirtyCoward who spills secrets as soon as he sees himself in danger, is allowed to leave the organization with all knowledge of how Kingsman works intact [[note]]It's heavily implied that he was [[MoleInCharge Arthur's]] nominated candidate but that raises even more questions about why nobody bothered to double check if Charlie was no longer a threat[[/note]]. This would eventually allow him to know where to attack Eggsy (the Kingsman tailor shop), what to get vital information from (a touchscreen in Eggsy's cab), and eventually show Poppy which locations to launch missiles at, effectively putting Kingsman into endangered species territory.

Not only that but Merlin's basically rang the alarm for every soldier in the vicinity, giving them time to arm themselves and prolong Harry & Eggsy's limited time to cure the addicts.

Corrected "would of" to "would have"... three times in one sentence. Yeesh. Consistent at any rate...

He wouldn't of known that they were capturing him but he would of at least picked up on the fact that the guards would of killed him on the spot if they were ordered to.\\

It was the whip that Whiskey used to choke Eggsy, not the lasso.


'''In Addition''': At one point during the fight he has Eggsy in his lasso, which is tightly around his neck and Eggsy is clearly having trouble removing it and breathing. Rather than just activating it and decapitating him, Whiskey throws it into the mincer. Giving Eggsy a chance of surviving and removing Whiskey's integral weapon that's essential for his own survival, since it gave him a higher chance of succeeding against both Eggsy and Harry.

These are what are known as "Justifying Edits", and they're not supposed to be here. If you feel an "idiotic" decision can be justified, you can generally just remove the offending example and put the justification here,


*** This one is partially understandable when you remember that Harry is like a father to Eggsy and he just got him back. Eggsy's insistence to bring Harry along on the mission is his means of bonding with his father figure. Still, though, Eggsy let emotion get the better of him and made a poor choice, later admitting to his mistake. To strengthen this idea further, this was foreshadowed by Merlin earlier as he scolded Eggsy for letting his emotions get the better of him.



*** To be fair, even if Eggsy had sent Whiskey to get the antidote, it probably wouldn't have worked anyway. Since Whiskey is a rogue agent, he probably would've done something to either destroy the antidote and make it look like an accident or done something to alert Poppy's men of their presence, which could've potentially led to Harry and Eggsy's deaths.

'''Alternatively-Alternatively''': Whiskey could just shoot the briefcase containing the computer, or he could have just immediately cut it (and Harry) in half with his lasso. It's never established as bulletproof or anything, and he has no reason to want or need it intact.\\
