'''You'd Expect''': Whiskey would immediately kill Eggsy and Harry, he must of 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 of made Whiskey's plan alot easier since it's just a matter of waiting it out.\\
'''Alternatively''': Whiskey could of just distracted Harry and Eggsy for a few seconds then destroy the computer by shooting it or slicing it in half with his electrified lasso. Eggsy initially believed that Whiskey was under the effects of the alpha gel, it's the perfect alibi to use for his betrayal.\\

'''Instead''': The agents just straight up injects her with the virus then explains how it will do to her later (even worse, Eggsy gives her too much virus that gives her less than a minute to live). With Poppy being an obvious psychopath, she could've easily remained silent until her own death or provided them with a wrong password (and when she did provide a password, they automatically assumes it's the correct one without trying it out first), both cases leaving the agents unable to open the suitcase. If Poppy hadn't been generous enough to provide them with the correct password on first try, the agents could've potentially doomed millions of people worldwide to their painful deaths.

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.

* After Ginger Ale revives Whiskey from his headshot, the catalyst she uses to bring back his memories is a picture of long-dead wife who was murdered by methheads. It has been long-since established that it can take time for resuscitated agents to fully recover, during which time they may experience side effects up to and including hyper-realistic hallucinations. He then takes a hypersonic jet to race after Eggsy and Harry, claiming that it was the latter who shot him in the head in the first place.\\

*** 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.

** In the middle of a mission, Eggsy has to plant a tracker inside Charlie's girlfriend by sleeping with her.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Him to begrudgingly accept that this is a necessity of the mission and could prevent the deaths of thousands.\\
'''Instead''': He calls Tilde to get her permission. This potentially endangers the entire mission, AND has Tilde break up with him, which was all completely avoidable. He has no choice but to plant the tracker in Clara anyway.
** Harry is resurrected and his memory has recovered, but his coordination is off and he still has occasional hallucinations.\\
'''You'd Expect''': The Kingsman and Statesman to do as Champagne suggests, keep Harry off the team while he recovers. One of the team can grab the antidote while the other controls the computer system.\\
'''Instead''': On Eggsy's insistence, Harry joins them, controlling the computers while Eggsy and Whiskey steal the antidote, but nearly gets them killed when he starts hallucinating at a critical moment, and his mental state gives everybody else a reason to doubt him when he questions Whiskey's motives.
*** 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.
** When infiltrating one of Poppy's labs, Eggsy is surrounded by ''crates'' of the antidote.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Him to take as many samples as he can securely carry.\\
'''Instead''': He only takes ''one'' sample. Then, after safely escaping from the lab, he ''takes the antidote out of its protective case'' and holds it using only his thumb and forefinger. Even if Whiskey wasn't a factor, it could still have been broken very easily by accident and there was no backup.
** Eggsy ''knows'' that Charlie and Clara are gonna be at the lab since it's their phone conversation that led him and the Statesmen there.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Eggsy to hang back and let Whiskey grab the antidote since Poppy and Charlie don't know about the Statesmen or their agents.\\
'''Instead''': Eggsy tells Whiskey to stay back, goes ahead into the large open space that is the lab and allows himself to be seen by Charlie and Clara, who recognize him.
