Would probably have made a better last 3rd if they just shot Jones in the head and then have Helena Shaw finish off the action.
Jones wasn't needed in the rest of the movie anyway.
It was refreshing in the Kingsman when the Colin Firth character survived the church battle just to be shot in the face by the bad guy. Then you at least might really get invested in the movie knowing anything is on the table.

I was thinking, "John Wick does it right--he never leaves anybody alive!" And then the part about the villain catching the hero and not finishing him off himself there came up and I was like "Damn, that awesome movie also plays with this stupid trope."
All of the John Wick movies are still awesome though.
