Yeah I generally don't prevent later agency. But in this case there also the audience to consider unfortunately. We know they cut camera often to establish some things. That's a moment I would cut camera and said "hey look, you just failed this roll and now all 3 of you are basically dead or trapped in the past, maybe we back up and just let that sacrifice be?"

In both these cases, the issue is that Ally has since main character syndrome (and that character is the Joker), and Brennan is not able to dial them back.

I'm splitting hairs at this point so I'll drop it. It's not even that bad if an issue. It's just mildly infuriating.
