Sure, but it's a stupid world.

I saw a commercial on late night TV. It said, "Forget everything you know about slipcovers." So I did. And it was a load off my mind. Then the commercial tried to sell me slipcovers, and I didn't know what the hell they were. -- Mitch Hedberg

It’s a movie about a guy on a revenge streak over a dead dog, not Battleship Potemkin. But its sense of style elevates it above the standard action film fare like the Equalizer films. And that style stems primarily from its world building that gives the characters a life in between gunshots. It did become a little too goofy after the first film, I admit. But it was still much better than the standard action film fare that people seem eager to swallow if it involves enough violence to overlook the fact that the story is just friggin’ vapid and derivative.

This is unfair.

We want cool CGI, too.

Man, a John Wick film set in the Transformers universe would be so cool…

I said cool CGI, not Baysian Explosion Land.

That'll do.

Although I'd have liked to see him in the MCU. Or maybe Lord of the Rings: Chapter 4. "You stole my horse, and you killed my warg!"

It has come to my attention that Hasbro has a liscensed series of pen and paper RPG that all use the same rule set. My Little Pony, G.I. Joe, and Power Rangers specifically. Although its not John Wick (tm) you can make a gun toting assasin up against giant transforming magic robot ponies with guns.

Now that you mention it, I did play a con game that was a mash up of My Little Pony and Warhammer 40k...
