Part 5/9:
The core appeal of John Wick lies in its focus: gritty, well-choreographed action scenes, a straightforward revenge storyline, and no reliance on political messaging or identity politics. The film emphasizes pure entertainment—something that resonates with audiences tired of woke narratives dominating other franchises.
In contrast, many Marvel and DC projects have been criticized for inserting ideological content that turns off viewers. This shift in focus from entertainment to social messaging appears to be responsible for declining interest at the box office.
