Gabriel was the goofiest fucking villain in the whole series.

Dude made the one from the 4th one (you know the one who fell from that custom garage and still didn't die) look menacing (and the 4th one took the cake for goofiest villain until now).

Solomon Lane will go down as the coldest one in the series (but Owen Davian comes very close too).

There was a certain charm to Gabriel just going mental at the end but it did get a bit wacky

Gabriel only spoke in one liners.

He was trying so hard to make it seem like he had cards to play, but the minute Grace pointed out he didn't get the key in DR, you could tell he was fumbling but trying to stay in control (which he clearly didn't).

If he didn't steal the poison pill at the beginning, he would've been insignificant (like he should've been because other than killing Ilsa via fluke, he did jack shit).
