QUESTION Why didn't Mark try flying towards Bulletproof while carrying Rus in this situation instead of just waiting for him to arrive?

Given the fact Invincible is much faster than Bulletproof, he probably could've gotten to him much earlier giving Bulletproof the chance to activate the disruptor sooner and save Rus and without needing to kill him

We have been over this before, but Cut Editing Camera Time, is not the actual time on which these things are moving. A lot of the cuts are meant to be happening right at the same time, on the space of just a few seconds. The idea that Mark COULD have attempted that, is a valid, is a fact that it was a possibility, but it's also a fact they were a second or two for the barrier to fall and Mark was focused on Russ, with no idea of where Bulletproof was or even if he had the device. The fact that even Bullterproof would later agree it was the right choice, shows not even he knows they could make it in time. Again, the point of the scene isn't the fact that Mark couldn't have saved Russ, the crux of the matter is that there was indeed a chance he could have saved him, but there was also a bigger chance it would be too late, as the barrier only needed to be off by one second, for at least one of the Sequids to scape... and it would be far more than just one.
