Have you actually watched the show? Ironwood *is* the military, the Huntsmen, and the government in Atlas, for better or for worse. Jacques is a mogul, and last time we saw him, Ironwood had him bent over a desk with his panties in his mouth.

The *moment* Ironwood is on the side of the heroes, they become untouchable in Atlas, and there's absoultely shit-all that Jacques (a guy who has done one (1) morally questionable thing on-screen) can actually do about it. And that's assuming he'd even want to. It's not like Weiss can storm up and demand her heirdom back. Jacques was completely justified in taking it away from her in the first place when she made it clear she can't deal with the kind of people she'd have to deal with in that kind of position.

“I AM the Senate!” jokes aside, I think you overestimate Ironwood’s position. He has military and academic power on lockdown. Legislative and Executive is limited to two seats. At what point did you conclude he has any reach in judicial or criminal justice. And at what point did you think Ironwood has total control of the public eye?

And if I remember correctly, Jacques never conceded in either argument. 1 morally questionable thing on screen? I think Sentry provides a more accurate account. And that’s just on screen.

Of course not. Weiss will have a long road to to do that, and probably spurred into it. Where did I say she would do that course of action first thing? Stop putting words in my mouth.

Yeah, sure. Unethical CEO with an extremely possessive and shady character has NO reason to not hurt someone who defied him. Did you not pay attention to what I listed as Jacques reactions to acts of rebellion? All of which are shown or mentioned in the show, so what exactly is so assuming? I even conceded that this very well may not happen. Did you not read what I said? Did you not read Advocate’s explanations? If not, read them thoroughly.

What Weiss did was an accident.

And are you guys seriously defending Jacques actions? You’re saying he was justified in removing her title because Weiss isn’t shady enough? That he was justified in lying to the public?
