What’s the best example of defining a character in the beginning and sticking to it till the very end? John Wick If you watch John Wick: Chapter 1, it begins with an individual living a simple life along with a dog until an arrogant character crosses path with him and messes with him. Not only does he take John’s car but he also kills the dog which was gifted by his wife after her death. This scene here defines John Wick’s entire character. Notice how Viggo says that John Wick is not the Boogeyman, he’s someone whom you send to kill the Boogeyman. It implies that John Wick is the most dangerous person to have ever lived. But obviously you don’t believe it and take it lightly because that happens in every action movie. But what follows is not 1 but 3 movies proving this exact scene and Viggo’s reason for worrying. John Wick movies are a testament of character staying true to his nature.

My latest writing is an essay titled Superheroes and Sehnsucht, which analyzes the meteoric rise of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and its subsequent faltering, focusing on its drifting sense of virtue. Where once heroes were celebrated for acts of moral courage, postmodern sensibilities have infiltrated the plotlines of newer releases. It's behind a paywall, but it's only one dollar! If you're interested in superhero movies, man's search for meaning, and the hero cycle, it may be worth your time. https://lnkd.in/gT5taFw4
