JOHN WICK 3 takes on CRIME (and jesus?) 

“Who am I kidding? I could do this forever.”

When I heard that John Wick 3 was in the works, I was convinced John would die. It seemed so logical to me, here we have an astounding trilogy of films where each installment has raised the stakes and increased the jeopardy higher than before, while simultaneously expounding upon the lore and mythos of the universe in which they're set. It's the Matrix, but, you know, better. I was so perplexed by John's decision to not kill Winston, to turn his back on the absolution he literally just chopped a finger off for, why? Out of loyalty to his father figure? Because he doesn't want to live as the Baba Yaga working for the High Table for the rest of his days? Watching this video made me realize no, the answer is so much more simple and so heartbreaking. This man, this engine of destruction, this walking apocalypse cannot stop. He wants to stop, he wants to have what was stolen from him, but you cant kill your way into paradise. The man, the myth, the legend. John Wick cannot escape himself, the person he was died when Helen died, and was killed again when Daisy died. Now there is only the Boogeyman, and the Boogeyman cant ride off into the sunset, it must run and kill and hunt and burn until it stumbles and dies in the dust. It isn't fair, it isn't right.

I remember watching that scene in the theater where John sliced off his finger, and I had never felt more uneasy in my life. That was rough.

Picking up on that Frankensteins monster vibes at the end. His world made him, deified him as their greatest weapon, and just burned him.

John Wick: "Shut up, crime!"

I had a brief panicky moment where I thought Mikey was going to quit this channel, and was all ready to mourn, and then, "Who am I kidding, I could do this forever." I can breathe again.

This was the video I've been waiting to see since I walked out of the theater. After watching and considering what Mikey had to say after the first 2, I was immediately curious about what he would have to say for this one. The moment for me was the moment with The Elder as he pointed out. Once I saw that and the symbolism around that, I knew I was going to have to make the MwM episode about the movie appointment viewing.

I get the feeling that Winston saved John's life there at the end. He shot John in his chest, in his armored suit. You don't get to be where Winston is if you aren't a badass. If he REALLY wanted John dead, one shot through the head would have done it. The way he did it, shooting him where he knew it wouldn't kill him and then getting him out of that situation, tells me he is still on John's side. I only hope John realizes it before he kills Winston for his "Betrayal"

No mention of the oddly long The Good The Bad & The Ugly style bit where John pulls apart a bunch of guns and rebuilds it into one to then shoot one man.

Why does this series always leave me with such optimism yet melancholy? Every video is like finishing a good book. You know? It's that feeling of "... What now?"

I'll just say it:

If Winston wanted Wick dead, he would have shot him in the head. Winston knows all about the tactical lining in Wicks suit.

The Man Above the Table had no idea how right he was when he told John that he'd "never seen a man fight so hard to end up back where he started". His timeline was wrong, though.

I've never been more viscerally wounded than seeing Mikey sadly eat a sandwich on a park bench.

Theory: john wick is doom guy. Just too angry to die.

When I walked out of this movie, I said "I can't wait to see what Mikey has to say about this installment."

That stinger about the dogs just made my day.

The cinematography of John Wick films was always good, but the lighting and colors in this one were something else.

“What are we gonna do about Jooooohn Wick?”

2 things about the wrap-up: 1, that sandwich looked pretty good, 2, when Mikey starts talking about endings I got anxious.
