At the end of his latest movie, we see the death of John Wick.

But is everyone's favorite puppy-loving assassin really dead?

Oh boy, loyal theorists. Today we're talking about one of my favorite franchises to pop up over the past decade, John Wick.

In case you miss this one, John Wick is about a legendary assassin seeking revenge against the entire criminal underworld,

known collectively as the High Table after they kill his dog. Later movies are less about the dog and more about just leaving the organization,

all directed by stunt professionals who make sure you see exactly what's going on.

And I think the results speak for themselves.

John Wick is one of those rare franchises where each sequel is arguably better than the entry that came before,

with box office numbers to match. Not that much of a shock when it's clear how much

love is put into these things. But you know what was a shock? John Wick's death at

the end of chapter 4. After months of running and fighting his way through endless

armies of faceless goons, John is forced into one final duel against his old friend Kane.
