I agree with a lot of that, but.. it certainly seems "original" for Raze not to simply kill Wishbone for having failed. We've seen that a billion times. This was done differently - this "bad guy" team operating with honor and like family or a "good guy team" would. that was interesting and different.

There so much plot convenience in this story. Things happen how they do because these are the easiest and most cliché to write.
