In the first film, it seemed like people accepted that you just don't gently caress with john wick. Theon just didn't know any better and stole his car and killed his dog. Everyone died because of it. This new one, they seem to know exactly who john wick is and they're still loving with him. It's already terrible

dang that's a good point

They are going to play it off that every assassin that wants to make a name for themselves is going to try to kill John Wick.

Its going to be a bunch of young bloods going "pfffft, all that poo poo he did wasn't true, I can take him".

More people than just Theon made the mistake of loving with John Wick, though. Perkins tried to kill him, and on Continental grounds, no less. After Wick got his revenge on Theon, his dad could have been smart and cut his losses, and that probably would have been it. But near the end of the movie, not only did he decide to kill John's old friend Marcus because he couldn't just let it go, he also called John Wick and taunted him over his friend's death.

Mobsters just aren't very smart sometimes.

(Except for Kevin Nash, who was the smartest guy in the entire movie.)

that trailer shows like 4 headshots in a single second so i think you're safe to assume the latter

If there is one place I'd never go as an assassin it's a hotel full of assassins

I'm pretty sure if you are an assassin you want people to think you're like, an accountant

I dunno a central place where you're reasonably safe all things considered and you can have doctors come up and stitch you together or replace your bloody rags and you pay it all with untraceable gold dubloons sounds pretty good if you're in that biz

So in the first one your membership gets revoked if you kill a dude in the hotel and then they shoot you dead but what if your membership got revoked cuz you were doing something really base like jerking off in the hotel lobby, would they still murder you??

No, you get one probation and then after that you are banned but they don't murder you

That seems a bit iffy, unless they signed their assassin's Creed, and sang the sacred song not to tell even upon removal due to excessive lobby masturbations (thanks Jeff :rolleyes:)

Tbh the hotel seems like the kind of place where if some psycho assassin wants to wank in the lobby he probably has to toss a coin to anyone who takes offense and all parties just dont talk about it or make eye contact plus you probably wanna wash that coin

John Wick was a total surprise to me. I kind of wwanted to hate it cost it was a douchey shoot/kill em up. But I totally enjoyed it. After reading this thread I realise it might be because there's no real drawn out back story about the "hero". Just a badass takingrevenge on wrongs done to him. Kinda like me really.

It was pretty unique for how low on cruft it was. Like, most modern action films have the big origin story, the labored exposition, the over-explaining of everything and a bunch of pointless character scenes because god dammit we paid for these actors and we're gonna get some acting out of it.

John Wick was just "Here's this dude, everyone's scared of him, he's retired and sad, oh look some dipshit killed his dog" and then 45 minutes of action set pieces. A whole bunch of worldbuilding was dropped in as casual as gently caress just "Oh hey by the way there's a secret hotel full of assassins who pay their way using gold coins and there's a lot of weird etiquette surrounding it and it's a safe haven" but none of the usual grind-to-a-halt exposition occurred, the film just assumed you'd roll with it and that is a good thing to assume and more films should trust their audience.

This is related to my only nitpick in the whole movie, which is that scene where John Wick gives a little speech about his motivations for all this and how the dog was a connection to his dead wife and it was just so unnecessary. Everything he said was already crystal clear by that point in the movie!

So can we consider this to sort of be in the vein of Payback?
