Fans of Murder-Filled Movie Franchise Violently Protest Online
“We’ve always known that John Wick is a killer, but in this movie, we want to explore the idea that not all killing is necessary…”
— Leaked Statement
In a surprising move, the producers of the John Wick films have announced that the fifth installment of the franchise will focus on eliminating needless killing. The news has taken the movie industry by storm, and fans of the series are violently protesting online. Many don’t want to see a new side of the legendary hitman.
For those who are unfamiliar with the series, John Wick is a retired hitman who comes back into the game to seek revenge for the death of his beloved dog. The movies are known for their non-stop action, intense fight scenes, and high body counts. But the upcoming fifth movie promises to be different.
In a leaked statement, an unnamed source explained the new direction for the franchise. “We’ve always known that John Wick is a killer, but in this movie, we want to explore the idea that not all killing is necessary. We want to show that there are consequences to assassin-on-assassin violence and that sometimes, the best way to win a fight is to avoid it altogether.”
The announcement has generated a lot of buzz, with many people wondering how the filmmakers will handle the change in tone. While some fans have welcomed this change of direction, others have expressed their outrage on social media, arguing that the franchise’s success has been built on its glorification of violence and the ruthless killing of John Wick’s enemies.
“We don’t want to see a more nuanced portrayal of the character and his world,” said one online Wick enthusiast. Social media protests have vowed to break out into the streets if their demands are not met, with groups of angry fans creating memes with slogans such as “Give us blood, not tears!” and “John Wick without killing is like pizza without cheese!” It’s clear that those who really love the franchise are worried that the movie will lose the edge that made it so popular in the first place.
The film’s star, Keanu Reeves, hasn’t officially weighed in on the new direction. In an interview with Variety, the same unnamed source said, “I think it’s important to show that John Wick is not just a killing machine. He’s a person with feelings and morals and he obviously loves dogs, and I think this movie will explore that in a really interesting way.”
Details about the plot of the movie are still scarce, but the announcement has already sparked a lot of discussion online. Fans are speculating about which characters will return and what new challenges John Wick will face. Some are even wondering if this could be the last movie in the franchise.
Regardless of what happens, it’s clear that the fifth John Wick movie will be a departure from what fans have come to expect. Whether it will be a success or a failure remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure: it will be one of the most talked-about movies when it debuts.
