"Fires alone are never decisive" sounds overly pedantic and also a no-true-Scotsman statement

I misread something. I feel like an idiot. I think it was bc I perceive the MAGA stance on trans rights is wrong and unAmerican, but effective with voters

...and really fucking quickly unscrews it and throws the detonator part (which 💯 is going to pop), then the main charge wouldn't go off. Maybe believable???

Once the spoon is released, you have roughly 4 seconds (iirc)! before the detonator gets the party started. It looks like there are only three threads holding the detonator in, so it might be believable that if the hero gains control of it immediately after the spoon is released...

(unless your hero manages to keep the villain's hand holding the grenade) If the villain loses control of it, the spoon will release which triggers the timed detonator. There might be some way to stop it at this point, but i couldn't say.

After reading more, i think maybe what you really want to know is, can it be disarmed after the spoon has been released.

The pin's entire function is to hold the spoon in place.
