#even in v4!!!! to be clear jacques wants the atlas blockade to stop out of selfish reasons BUT HE'S RIGHT.

Ironwood killing Jacques before going after Winter is so funny to me because James didn’t even have to. Bastard was locked up and wouldn’t pose that much of a threat due to being a complete wimp. He killed him because Jacque was THAT annoying. He had already decided to go after Winter once he escaped and then was like “oh one more thing”.

And I think it's especially interesting because it's another time with those two characters that Jacques is actually the one in the right. There's no reason to kill him. He's a piece of shit and deserves worse, probably, but the fact that Ironwood takes the time to take him down specifically because he's so detached from reality and has decided that he's the only one allowed to make decisions about who lives or dies is less about Jacques himself and more about Ironwood losing the last shred of who he used to be.
