Thread: Mel Gibson set to star in John Wick TV spin-off, breaking the series' perfect streak of coolness
Hype Thread
What's the one fight scene in 2 where they're fighting while shitty soft as pop music plays? That shit was gay as fuck.
Metal is the gayest fake tough guy shit there is. Bunch of obese white neckbeards growling about video games and shit. Fucking loser virgins.

I liked them for what they were, just fast paced action. But if you asked me to describe the plot of the 3..ugh. I probably don't need to watch them ever again.
1. Revenge for cute ass dog's death
2. Lesbian bat girl, bathtub lady...I dont remember.
3. Halle Berry? Coins?

I enjoyed the first Wick movie. I watched the second and thought it was alright, but the razor thin plot and complete focus on mindless action schtick had worn thin already. I re-watched the first one a few years later and found it boring. I tried to watch the 3rd and got to the part where Halle Berry is introduced and that was it for me. It felt like Keanu did months of ski training to jump over a shark.
Imagine complaining a movie has a razor thin plot and too much action while being a video gamer you guys are so damn weird
Imagine watching boring woke garbage just because you want to fuck keanu.
Wait what are you talking about when you say that there's anything woke in it?
In the first John wick the only real female characters die horrible deaths don't they? I think that's also true of the second if I remember right?
A guy who loves the Disney+ Marvel shows isn't exactly the hardest customer to please lol
You must have me confused with someone else because the closest to love I ever got would be the Loki show and even then I thought it was pretty disappointing
I like John Wick, good over the top action, cool set pieces, nice atmosphere. Feels a little like a graphic novel at times. Yes the story/world building is silly but gives it a bit of an interesting personality and separates it from run of the mill action films like Bourne or whatever.
I don't go watching John Wick expecting a deep character driven drama. I enjoy it for what it is and I will definitely watch the next film in the series as I've liked them all up to now. I can understand people not liking it or thinking it is silly but sometimes from posters I get a whiff of "thing is popular so I have to hate thing to show how cool, contrarian and edgy I am!".
As for the TV series, ehhh I feel that the world/experience of a John Wick adventure works best in concentrated bursts like we see in the films. I think going episodic and with a TV series budget would likely just get convoluted and melodramatic and stuck up its own ass. Maaaaaybe the first season might be ok and have an interesting atmosphere but by season 3 or whatever we will likely have had something like 20 times by that point that our heroes are trapped and should face death but are miraculously let go by the villains for some convoluted nonsense reason or deus ex machina escape. (See The Boys as an example)
Also expect bad guys to become good guys etc.. and the world to feel increasingly smaller and insular as time goes on and they shed the premise of the first season. Sorry I just don't have much faith in TV shows these days, not to even mention potential woke nonsense that they might try to force in.
As for Mel Gibson starring, I don't really have a problem with it. Guy said some fucked up shit but he has served his time in exile and should be allowed to work and live his life peacefully. He is also a pretty good actor and talented director so think he could carry the show for a while despite potential other flaws. The fact that him starring in this riles up the blue hairs is just icing on top.
