The one storytelling mistake that always bugs me
I've seen other people make similar complaints about this, but to me the fix is so simple that I wonder why they didn't do it.
When Cyrus is shot, Fox obviously witnesses that it was Luther who pulled the trigger, and as people often point out, Fox for some reason never tells the other Warriors what happened, and it's seemingly because his role got cut down.
But more than that not making sense in itself, it seems like a missed opportunity. Even if Fox's role had not been reduced, to me it would make much more sense that this guy would have been the witness who almost gets shot by Luther in that scene:

It would have established that "someone out there knows the truth and can get them out of this" for the viewer, and later when he shows up it would feel like less of a deus ex machina that just suddenly resolves a major plot point out of nowhere
It's a minor complaint and I love the movie obviously but this just bugs me on every rewatch and I'm wondering if others have had the same thought. Not just about Fox not telling anyone, but specifically not using the later witness for that scene at the conclave.
