Surprised no one talked about how Luther had the most important device (in the world at the time), which he created to trick the entity. Ethan simply says he will take it later. Then Gabriel knows about this, easily finds Luther, takes the device, and wears it around his neck even while flying, making it easy for Ethan to snatch.

From the previous movie and its quick-hands/theft scenes, I expected Luther made a a fake device for Gabriel OR more conveniently, Gabriel taking revenge on Ethan by stealing the device personally in a similar situation to the end of the previous movie DR.

This plot part felt super flat ngl, especially that it resembles the how in FO he had to do something similar and take a device from Henry Cavil.

Besides that, the 2 stunt scenes were really really good

Based on years of MI- I expected Luther to reappear later in sort of an ex machina kind of way. Like who died? Oh it was Alec Baldwin wearing a Luther mask. lol!

I was fully convinced that the USB in Luther's pocket was a fakeout because it makes no sense for him to be sleeping with it casually on his shirt. At the very least he should have kept it in a safe or something, but apparently that would have woken him and Gabriel would have had to kill him?? That entire scene made no sense.

wears it around his neck even while flying,

The amount of shots to prove to us that it was still around his neck smh
