I dont think they will explain it beyond so nods to it but that it. But I will said ![]()

just killing a lot of people dosent cut it, like in this profesion you kinda expect to kill people but he did something ether very fuck up or very much tought imposible which kinda said a lot.
But I will said wick is sympathic but not good and the movie kinda try very hard to make it that way.
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"Actually, we had it explained. It's not a mystery.
The Big Bad of the first movie said that John worked for him but that he would let him retire if John killed pretty much everyone ahead of him in the New York City underworld. Then John did it.
Author of The Rules of Supervillainy, Cthulhu Armageddon, and United States of Monsters.We never see it. It's never shown. We know John buried a crap ton of people and Santino helped, but the scale of the operation, why it required Santino's help, and why it was enough to get him excommunicado whereas seemingly nobody else could is unknown.
That doesn't mean we can't speculate, but at least based on the details we have I wouldn't consider it as having been explained.
The impression I got was that John went to Viggo and asked to be allowed to retire. Viggo said, "Sure, if you can do ______", expecting there's no way John would actually do ______, since it's meant to be an impossible task and all. But then John actually did ______, and Viggo was like, "Shit, guess I gotta keep my end of the bargain now."
I mean, we see what happens when deals are busted.
But yes, apparently retirements are allowed to happen and you don't have to fulfill your debts if you decide you're out of the game.
It's why John coming back to work screwed him over.

Yeah, go ahead.
Speaking of The Continental, should we make a character page for that since there are some new characters in the prequel?

"Now it's starting to feel like a game!"I think that Cormac would fall under John Wick - The Continental Hotels. So would Hansel and Gretel (the twin assassins).
Winston's crew (Lou, Miles, Lemmy, Gene, Yen) would probably qualify for their own folder. So something along the lines of a page titled "John Wick Winston Scott Crew".
To add to "John Wick - Other Criminals" would be the characters of: Frankie, Mazie / The Bowery Queen, Orphan Master, KD Silva, and Mayhew.
And no surprise which folder the 1970s Adjudicator and her bodyguard belong in.

Would you want one?
"Cynicism is not realistic and tough. It's unrealistic and kind of cowardly because it means you don't have to try."I'm certainly in the mood for something like Black Lagoon and the animated segment of Kill Bill, so this sounds like a fun idea.
The legend has returned.Some news from deadline: the Ballerina spinoff has been delayed to next year with the Crow reboot taking its place this June. It says they’re shooting some new action sequences.

Just watched John Wick 4. Honestly, I liked it a lot more than 2 and 3, I think. I liked Caine a lot more than I was expecting to, and the Marquis wwas a lot less bland than someone like Santino to me.
I think my favourite actual joke in the movie was when Nobody was trying to stick the Marquis up for more money, and the Marquis gets so pissed that he smashes his phone against the ground. Then he thinks about it for a moment and actually calls Nobody back, and he does so using like a golden rotary telephone that a servant proffers to him on a literal silver platter. Because he just broke his phone.

Kaze ni Nare!

I hope they never explain it. The overall mystery of "just what did he do that convinced the Murder Illuminati to leave him alone for a few years" will always be more compelling than whatever they might try and give us outright.
