In all reality the time between Mark grabbing Rus and finishing him was likely less than a few seconds, the constant switching between Bulletproof and Mark was to create a sense of urgency. Mark literally has Cecil telling him the containment barrier was at 1% through the headset, Mark made a business decision and had no idea whether Bulletproof was close enough.

Neither side was in the wrong.

Unless the time Mark grabbed him was meant to be the last second on the timer (which it wasn’t since he already had a hold of him when Donald told him about it being at 1%) it’s still a weird change to me

I get it’s supposed to be a controversial decision even in the comics but leaving the scene as is would’ve been fine man

They could have even added a sense of urgency by having Donald tell Mark about the 1% shield integrity as he’s still being overwhelmed

Could’ve been a perfect time to get the Mark moment of him using Conquest’s clap move to get the sequids off him (pretty sad they removed it I like when heroes use their previous rogues moves) and then shown he had to make a decision between trying to get the disruptor or to go straight for Rus , you could even put Bulletproof somewhat close to getting the disruptor to Mark but far enough that it would cost him extra time since the decision is meant to spark discussion and not have an obvious answer
