So It Looks Like Cipher Possibly Solved One Of Furious 7's Biggest Plot Holes
POSSIBLE SPOILERS BELOW
Everyone was complaining that Jason Statham/Deckard Shaw kept popping up throughout Furious 7. Me, I didn't have a problem with it. I figured Deckard Shaw was a VERY resourceful person and somehow was spying on them. Plus I was having so much fun that I didn't care.
But with The Fate Of The Furious and now knowing that Cipher blackmailed the Shaws or went to them to have them do things for her, I'm going with as Cipher being the explanation for Deckard Shaw constantly popping up randomly throughout Furious 7. Seeing Cipher's base and the tech she has, she was probably watching Dom and the others and was able to tell Deckard where they'd be and where to go. But I guess that just confirms my explanation for the plot hole and what I came up with while watching Furious 7, which was Deckard was a resourceful person.
I don't recall her saying anything in The Fate Of The Furious confirming it was her telling Deckard where to go. But I'm guessing it was her. And if it was her, then it looks like all the complaints of Deckard randomly popping up in Furious 7 can be answered with Cipher being the one telling him where to go.
She is now what I'm going with as an explanation for his random appearance throughout the movie. Unless it gets debunked.
