John Wick 4 could benefit from not expanding the property's mythology. 1 / 8

Since the beginning, the franchise has been known for its world-building. 2 / 8

The lore is almost as famous as the innovative action sequences. 3 / 8

Each movie adds to the mythology, like Chapter 2's concept of markers. 4 / 8

Chapter 3 included more of this, but some felt it got bogged down in world-building responsibilities. 5 / 8

And that it lost sight of what made the franchise so effective in the first place. 6 / 8

The original movie was refreshing as a taut, visceral revenge thriller. 7 / 8

It would be great if John Wick 4 was like that, since there's little else to do with the mythology. 8 / 8
