About this deal

He's essentially learned and trained ever since being a kid on how to fight off masses of criminals and evade gunfire. Which, y'know, anyone with even passing knowledge of the universe this takes place in knows is incredibly stupid and not something a character we're expected to believe is intelligent, conniving, and powerful would consider - especially over someone she doesn't even personally hate enough for the risk to be worthwhile. John Wick truly has global inspirations thanks to Chad Stahelski and his team, and another specific mythology that informs the franchise is the influence of Chinese wuxia films. As Mosca details his design process, it's no small feat to get Reeves to look like he's fighting as effortlessly as he does in the suits, making them almost their own characters in the Wickiverse.

Stahelski had been Reeves' stunt double for the majority of the Matrix movies and through working together for so many years, they became friends as well as colleagues.Unfortunately, they weren't well received and drew negative criticism for having an uninspired story and rushed artwork. Created by Chad Stahelski and David Leitch and written by Derek Kolstad, the high-powered underworld thriller featuring Keanu Reeves as one of the deadliest assassins known to man feels as removed from reality as most action franchises.

But when Maria intervenes and arms them with the backing of the Continental, even a force like Wick concedes he needs the resources and connections of the Underworld. Particularly Calamity Jane, who is so over the top that it's impossible to take the action seriously. In each John Wick installment we spend time in the Continental, a hotel and meeting center for the underworld of the High Table with headquarters in New York City, Rome, and Casablanca (that we know of so far).

i love LORE i love learning about characters that i fixate on and just storing fun facts about them in my cheeks like a chipmunk.
