I wrote this pretty quickly so please excuse the rambly writing. I love Io and Daryl so much and I hope my take on these 2 makes sense!

Or would it have been better if he had followed Degwins plan and encouraged peace talks

I mean seriously if Daban Ko second rate fake mafty hijackers could do it, theres no way the real Mafty themselves couldn't. hathaway was even on the ship. He knew where it was going and the flight path. But instead of blasting it out of the sky with a single messer and calling it a day, he wanted to be all clever and idk look at them? To what end? Just to internally pat yourself on the back for being clever?

Well it got a bunch of civilians killed. not to mention what happens later..

If hathaway was just pragmatic instead of playing Alpha Legion 1000 Iq troll move plays, he could have just fixed everything without consequence. (Well not really but at least he could've gotten further and dine more good)

Its been a while since I read the novels so someone correct me if im wrong but I thought it was touched on a bit how he had a weird sense of honor when it came to his plans which lead to stupid decisions like this

I think that fits really well honestly. The best part of the film in my opinion is the taxi conversation. Where hathaway realizes for all his ideals, he is acting from a privileged and distanced position. Only someone entitled can afford to think about problems like that while ignoring the everyday problems normal people have to live with. Only someone so privileged could care about honor when the whole world is on the line..

Anyways this post isnt a critique or anything. Im not pointing out a plot hole. I think this really fits with hathaway as a character with flaws and I thought itd be fun to tall about

I actually think Hathaway gets too much hate. People hate him for being one of the only people actually trying to fix the UC. And yet for all his well intentions hes still just a human with human flaws..
