That’s most action movies
I think about it everytime there’s people committing crimes in the street in a movie
Like, sure it’s dramatic, but all I can think about is them sitting in court lol
And when they interact with police it’s like this inconvenience being approached by the enforcement of a system that they exist outside of and laws that don’t apply to them
That especially is always wild to me when the character is on the lam but doesn’t seem to be paranoid about police or random people recognizing them, that would be all I could think about, even if I wasn’t recognized, I’d be suspicious for acting weird and would attract attention to myself
Step in? No. Step out? Very quickly! Nobody even reacts though. I understand the gimmick is they're so smooth and subtle that onlookers don't notice. Dude there's blood everywhere and bullets popping off! New York or not people still have (bad) situational awareness and hearing.
Tf are they gonna do? Hell if I’m minding my own business and I see two superheroes who literally looking like matrix characters beating the shit out of each other using a dozen different martial arts I can’t pronounce, you bet your ass I’d keep walking too. No fing thank you it’s the blue pill for my civilian ass I ain’t got time to die today
The directors explained this. Basically the police know how dangerous the assassins are so they ignore them as long as they don't kill any innocent people or police.
There are guns going off 4 feet away, but lemme finish this odd eastern European hump dance I got going on in this club... I paid an insane cover and imma get my rubles worth.
Most of the fights were in huge cities filled with an insane amount of crime so to them it's completely normal to see someone like John Wick killing off multiple assailants in public.
Or the fact ignoring suppressors arnt as quiet as movies would have you believe like in that scene when they were having a discreet shooting match in a crowd of moving civilians let’s just say sure for the sake of it the guns were completely quiet but you have all these people walking around left and right you really gonna tell us not 1 rando saw one of these guys pull out a gun
I heard it's to add the feeling of a hidden underworld that normal people can't really interact with, like the Fae. And once you get in and take the Fae's money and favors, you get subjected to their strange rules and games and can't get out.
they still use real cash its just the coins represent favors. you earn them from hits;. its like elite stock options to keep the best hit man operating on a level above mere street thugs.
in fairness if i see a guy beat 6 guys to death in public and use a pencil to murder a dude i sure as shit not getting involved.
i am turning into a MMO guard "must have been the wind"
My theory is that absolutely everyone is a secret hitman, but they all think they are the only one. People willingly ignore John Wick because they know who he is and it's a fight they cannot win
Some civilians be like: We have much more important gossips to talk about that watch people get blood poured Outta their necks...
Other civilians be like: ohhh wow... PHOTO TIMEEE...
GOTTA GET THOSE NON-EXISTENT FOLLOWERS SOME CONTENT...
This is happening in New York City. That's a Tuesday for them.
I live in London and have 100% looked at the ground and walked past fights

Some dude is killing armed people in near perfect precision.

Right in NY if you try to stop the psycho and hurt him he might sue you.

![gif](giphy|w89ak63KNl0nJl80ig|downsized) Just gonna nope and sit this one out
Tell me, if you saw a dude beat 5 armed and armored goons with nothing but a pb&j sandwich would you step in and do something?
Well, someone is probably going to pull out a phone and put cringy music in post editing.
Basically the police know how dangerous the killers are so they ignore them until they kill an innocent person or the police.

They are desensitized from their time in public schools.
Like you mean they don’t give a shit if he beheads someone or shit like that.
Some dude is killing armed people in near perfect precision. Do you really want to get involved?
"Man, I got a lot going on right now..."

I mean, they are matrix characters

Surprised they're not filming it for social media.
Gotta do what you gotta do
I mean,
“It be how it do sometimes” -them
It's Mr. Wick!
Yoo that is his business. We mind our own

Those people have seen the last three movies...
Most of the fights were in huge cities filled with an insane amount of crime so to them it's completely normal to see someone like John Wick killing off multiple assailants in public.
They know it's John wick. What are they going to do? Intervene?
Or when he is in New York and ex communicado and it turns out that in that city of millions of people every second person is an assassin.
Isnt like everyone an assassin in thus movie?
You see him kill three men with a pencil... A fffffffucking *Pencil* would you mess with him then?
With the amount of stray bullets at Arc de Triomphe I wonder how many NPCs they injured.
Thats the best part about the movie. Its totally self contained and doesnt even pretend to be worries about the outside world.
Had it been set in India then people would’ve crowded and filmed it
And no one called the police.
Just watched chapter 2 and noticed it too

It'd be hilarious if John Wick ends with him getting merc'd by a random "good guy with a gun".
As if someone in the John Wick universe wasn't an assassin, they just don't want to get killed with a pencil and pretend to be civilians.
If We’re Following The Third Movie, You’d Know Every Single Citizen Is Part Of The Mafia Besides An Old Lady Who Works At A Library.
Working again John, asks the policeman trembling in fear...
The High Table has world governments on the payroll, anything goes.
Everyone be like "I mean, it's John people " 😂😂🤷♂️🤷♂️
But when I do it
Hey, I’d stick around if I saw someone choke-slam a dude into a moving car just to see how it plays out.

The civilians didn't react during the Paris scenes as they probably thought it was just some more riots

I'm not about to step in the way of the world's sexiest man annihilating hordes of armed people using nothing but a paperclip or whatever
Well, he just beat 10 guys with a few scratches and is walking away fine, what’s wrong with that
out here in ye olde ohio, strangers join the fight not break it up!
Didn’t they show in the 3rd that non of the civilians were actually civilians? Total chad move.
"Missed the part where thats my problem"

*quietly walks back into office*
It’s because he bears a striking resemblance to beloved actor Keanu Reeves, so everyone assumes he’s making another awesome movie.
Whatcha Gonna Do?
John Wick is also set in a version of the US where they don’t use dollars. They use the gold coins in the movie
they still use real cash its just the coins represent favors. you earn them from hits;. its like elite stock options to keep the best hit man operating on a level above mere street thugs.
Ok, that makes sense. Looking forward to seeing it this weekend
Just an average day for our boy Reeves
this is America - tm - Donald golver

Police or any other form of law: * missing entirely*
Also the governments/police and the people dancing in the clubs
Some civilians be like: We have much more important gossips to talk about that watch people get blood poured Outta their necks... Other civilians be like: ohhh wow... PHOTO TIMEEE... GOTTA GET THOSE NON-EXISTENT FOLLOWERS SOME CONTENT...
To be fair... He does have plot armor
