History Characters / JohnWickTheTarasovCrimeFamily

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After the rampage of John in ''Film/JohnWick'', Abram's crew are concealing his remaining precious metal currency in some sort of tar and everyone is preparing to flee town. When John Wick comes knocking, [[spoiler:John makes a peace offering and he is ultimately free to depart and start anew elsewhere.]]

-->(to Marcus) ''You had...'' every ''chance...every opportunity...to kill John Wick. And if you had done your job... my'' son'' would be'' '''still alive!'''"

'''John:''' Yeah.... be seeing you.

-->'''Viggo:''' John is a man of focus, commitment, sheer will... [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech Something you know very little about.]] [Talking to Iosef]

* EvilIsPetty: Okay, fine, you stole a man's car; you're a criminal, makes sense. However, ''killing his dog'' is just outright evil. Considering he only stole the car because John refused to sell it to him (it's not like John has the only vintage black Mustang in the world; if the car was what he actually wanted he could just have gone shopping), so his response was to break into his house and beat him with a baseball bat...

* ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine: In his final moment sitting wounded on the floor of a warehouse, he tries to tell John what he's doing is unnecessary by claiming Daisy was [[LackOfEmpathy "just a fuckin' dog"]]. Ignoring the fact that Iosef brought his fate on himself over a car that John wouldn't sell him by invading ''his'' home and killing his dog over being insulted. The idiot never stopped to think that an inanimate object is not the same as a cherished living creature and is terrified out of his wits that John would pursue him all way to his own private safe houses.

* NonActionBigBad: The only aversion in the series. He does send everyone he has to kill John first, but [[spoiler:when he's the only one left, he does his damndest to kill John himself. And though John is clearly out of his league, John is also injured enough that the field is a little more level.]]

-->'''Viggo''': Be seeing you, John.
-->'''John''': Yeah.... be seeing you.

--> '''Viggo:''' John is a man of focus, commitment, sheer will... [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech Something you know very little about.]] [Talking to Iosef]

* BreakTheHaughty: He's such a spoiled little punk that he thinks very little of everyone around him and that he’s allowed everything he fancies, and even when Wick finally catches up to him, he seems blissfully and stupidly ignorant about how much he’s shat the bed until John comes knocking down his door and teaches him two valuable life lessons: one being crime and punishment, the other about the [[KarmicDeath inevitability of mortality no matter how rich or born into power you are or how much power you THINK you have.]].

--> '''Viggo''': Did he listen to a ''[[PrecisionFStrike fucking]]'' word I said?!

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: Getting shot in the chest and hit with a car is rough, sure. But then Viggo rams John’s car, dragging Avi underneath the vehicles for several hundred feet, the rough asphalt almost certainly sanding off a good chunk of his body. If he wasn’t dead before, he definitely was then.]]

* NobleDemon: He honors his word to keep the peace with John, [[spoiler: even after John is made a target at the end.]] This is likely a combination of honor and being smart enough to know that trying to take out John is a really bad idea.

* PragmaticVillainy: Toyed with. As mentioned, [[spoiler: he accepts John's olive branch and has not been seen since]], but was initially dismissive of the idea, feeling that John would never stop coming after them.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Subverted hard. Unlike his brother, he knows to fold them. If anything, he was more surprised by [[spoiler: John being willing to consider peace]] than by anything else.

** He also apparently never thought to warn Iosef that John Wick is off-limits, which seems like a mind-boggling oversight.
