There should be a version of John Wick where, as in the Iliad, whenever someone is killed for any reason you get a story about where they came from, who their parents are, and how they'll never see their son again.

@ZachWeinersmith so Austin Powers when he drove over one of the henchmen with a steamroller and we get a scene where his wife gets the bad news, is referencing the Iliad?

@ZachWeinersmith this is _exactly_ my beef with all those action movies with consequence-less violence. And that’s one of the greatest scenes in Austin Powers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag_AFraxj-4

@ZachWeinersmith and every person he meets he repeats the entire plot thus far just to make sure they know his backstory

@ZachWeinersmith If they did that with Rambo, it'd take days to finish

@boldewyn It always kills me how they wink at the scene too much. Maybe I'm anomalous but it'd be 10x better if they went all in on it being sad.

@ZachWeinersmith hour-long drama series in the style of Lost where each episode we get a flashback storyline for the guy who gets killed that week

@ZachWeinersmith And Wick is constantly pausing between killings to take some cumbersome trophy from the victim. Out there collecting nice shoes or something.

@ZachWeinersmithI'm waiting for the Hitman game where you have to also attend the funeral of all your victims, and it's a long, unskippable cutscene for each showing all the people devastated by your actions

@ZachWeinersmith Isn't that "One Piece"?Wherein we dread when a fan fave character suddenly has a backstory episode.

@ZachWeinersmith the first movie alone would require 10 seasons

@ZachWeinersmith Wouldn’t this be episode 7 when it becomes a Netflix series?
