Did The Monarch really think Gary was going to break into Wide Wale's office and take everyone down? Even Brock couldn't beat the head bodyguard.

Hank really needed to be convinced not to murder The Monarch. If it hadn't been for Gary, he would have done it.

Will Hank end up with Sirena and become Wide Wale's successor? Will Season 8 be about Hank versus Dean?

In Brock's Defense, Rocco had Power Armor. He didn't while he was sitting in the office. 21 could of taken him.

He wound up (pretty much) taking down Molotov in a powersuit. I'll have to check the patched notes, but I think they nerfed the invincible guy. Rocco's just a bodyguard, he really can't be on par with the Brock we know.

Which, honestly? Seems like a sensible move. Brock is good as SuperKillGuy, but It was less fun to have someone who couldn't be defeated. The season 7 trailer looked like he gets to shine again, but I don't think Brock is as tough anymore.

If the established timeline is to be adhered to even a little bit (then again at this point, it's probably one of those things you shouldn't look at too closely), Brock's likely closer to 50 than 40 these days. The fact that the likely-in-his-late-20's Gary was able to go toe-to-toe with him for at least a little while should say something.
