Whimsory- “Violence is not the answer 99.999999999999% of the time.”
Violence- “So you’re saying there’s a chance!”
Historically, violence *has* been the answer a lot of the time.
Dumb and Dumber reaction incoming...
@@hanng1242 Basically it's always the answer...just not the right answer.
“What word, beginning with’V’, is an act of physical aggression?”
@@rollotomassi6232 At least not always, most of the time. Sometimes it is called for though, a lesser evil of the two.
I think nearly everyone shed a tear for the doggo in that scene
If you look through the history of entertainment you will find that one thing the studios agonize over and plan almost as thoroughly as the rest of the movie is do you kill a dog,and if so what kind? Face it killing the dog was as much of a gut punch because it was a cute puppy as just the fact that it was a dog.
I dunno man, after being recently bit by a dog while minding my own fucking business, Im finding it hard to shed a tear over a fake doggo murder in a movie... not that I ever really cared about dogs dying in movies in the first place.
I didn't. A dogs a dog. But the wife part hit me in the feels.
@@frenchynoob It was more about this puppy being the very last present his now tragically dead wife ever bought him. And he wanted to cherish it. And then it was taken from him. It broke his heart. In that instant he was taken from sorrow to revenge after having left a life of violence behind. He didn't want to. They made him. So it was more about what the puppy represented; a last loving gesture from his wife and it was brutally destroyed. The movie begins ...
@@frenchynoobdon’t be mad at the dog, be mad at it’s owners. A dog behaves according to how it is brought up by its owners.
32:51 I actually have a theory about Helen Wick, and it makes a few things make more sense in the movie.
Theory: Helen Wick was a Veterinarian or Veterinary Assistant, she had been sick (most likely cancer, my mom had cancer and one day just collapsed like in the movie). One night John decided to surprise her and pick her up from work, as they walked to the car to go home she collapsed.
That explains #1: Why she gifted John a puppy and was able to arrange Daisy’s delivery, #2 Why John crashed the SUV there, #3 How John knew the Veterinary Clinic was there to patch himself up, and #4 Why at the end when John’s walking with the puppy, it’s the same location where his wife collapsed.
That makes a lot of sense.. would also explain how it was so well trained. You'd think she would have thought of food though.
@@OrsonBuggy1958I mean there’s no reason a dog can’t eat human food, I’m fact most dogs would be a lot healthier if we fed them actual food instead of kibble.
That would make a lot of sense. John's entire life has been about dealing swift death, and Helen works to give it back to our pets.
yo tengo la teoría que al final de la saga no enteremos de que todo esto es un videojuego y jhon es el protagonista .
@@josuemoreno3054 Everyone else is speaking english and you respond with dirty third world gibberish.
Marcus didn't miss. He intentionally shot the pillow to warn John about Perkins attacking him.
actually i think the song playing in the background while Marcus is getting the offer to kill him indicates that hes not doing it "We're killin' strangers so we don't kill the ones that we love"
@@Tagoriwhat you on about lol 😂 first commenter is legit right.
@@wildseraphim21 i never said otherwise, i just pointed out that i think you can already tell (as soon as he gets the offer) that hes is not going to shoot John based on the Lyrics of the Song playing while he is getting his Sniper Rifle ready
Marcus asked Viggo if the contract was exclusive. When Viggo said it was open, Marcus pretended to agree because he knew John would need someone watching his back.
My first time watching you.
Wow.
I love the multiple rewatch, trivia hunting, deep understanding. Nobody does that, and because you do I subscribed. Can't wait to see more of your excellent takes on movies I love! ❤
Since you mentioned how the assassins all have rules and regulations within their society, you'll be happy to know that they continue adding to this aspect of the story in each film. For an over-the-top action film, they do a lot of world building that ends up giving us an understanding of how things work without ever dragging the pace down.
Even as wild as it gets sometimes, it never quite jumps the shark, and I feel like those "rules" of the underworld have a lot to do with that. The world they've built is fantastical in some ways, but very grounded. It's internally consistent, and doesn't usually directly violate what we understand. What happens is extremely improbable sometimes, but never quite truly impossible.
I feel like the F&F franchise would've come off far better in total in the hands of Stahelski and his crew.
Duke Togo never misses his target & one of the longest running Anime too & Ryo Saeba is just as good too
The world building is what sets this series apart from the pack and makes it so interesting, in my opinion.
"He's the one you send to KILL the fuckin' boogeyman" Got to be the most badass explanation of a protagonists skillset.
Can relate to the cat thing, too. Mine always goes for the ears, so all you hear when you wake up is SNAFFLE SNAFFLE SNAFFLE
The director uses a very powerful narrative device in this movie. The death of the dog justifies EVERYTHING that John does from that moment on and the audience not only agrees but wants blood for that atrocity.
And it's even worse when you realize that the little dog crawled across the floor to seek comfort from John in its last moments.
You're definitely doing a great job of picking the right movies to react to. I love your emotional but lighthearted and positive attitude in your videos. Keep up the awesome job!
I really appreciate all the work you put into your videos. There are a lot of reactors on RUclips but what you do is unique as far as I've seen. I love how much insight you bring with how in depth you go beyond the initial viewing. Every video you point out something I've otherwise missed or not thought about. So it's great to hear that's simply how you want to do it despite all the effort!
I'll sub to your Patreon at the beginning of the month because you deserve the support.
I agree 100% here.
I appreciate your opinions. There's no need for disclaimers or to address trolls. It just gives them power.
Yup... never feed the trolls.
Agreed.
What trolls?
Actually they get power either way. When you ignore a thing, it'll always stab you in the back. When you bring attention to it, it'll just turn that attention against you. The only way to win, is to exterminate it.
Best to get a thick skin. Either way, it's still hits and comments to the algorithm!
Love your analysis at the end. Especially the connection of Aurelio to the sloth in Ice Age 😂
You've quickly become one of my favorite reactions because I like your multiple viewings before discussing, now you are doing the first of a series of my recent favorites. Enjoy, I'm watching your reaction now
Rip Michael Nyqvist(Viggo) he was taken away from us to early.
I am not a very patient person but I am a person that enjoys someone putting time into something and actually wanting to talk about what they have learned and feel.
There are so many nice "easter eggs" in this movie that you didn't talk about here btw. I think and hope you will enjoy the other movies of this francies as well.
Ty for letting us watch along with you and sharing your views and thoughts with us. Sorry to hear about the reaction to V being demonatice and then taken down, Glad I got to watch it before that happend.
Also RIP Lance Reddick (the concierge)
@@Scott_Forsell My point is that what you said to me can be easily said back at you .
You complain about me complaining about her ... get it???
______________
In simple logic
You basically say , if you dont like what she is reacting to, then dont watch it
But i can easily say to you if you dont like my comment then dont read it.
See??? your logic right back at you.
have a nice day.
@@tanelviil9149
You are trying to to ding me for hypocrisy, right?
Put on an objective perspective. Look at your comment. You are commanding to our host: don't do this, do this (that you prefer) instead.
It is entirely fine to suggest, no problem with that - you just did it poorly. Came off / read as demanding like you had power in the equation.
I dislike x. I dislike you are reacting to x. Do y and z instead.
Think that through.
If you are determined that there should be your take out there in the world then create your own channel and make it happen and more power to you, and I wish you well.
@@tanelviil9149
Look at your initial comment. Self-evaluate.
I'm all for suggestions, no problem with that at all. But you demanded. Don't do this, do these instead. Entitled comes to mind.
No one is preventing you from being you. Be you.
But don't ding content creators for being themselves as well. They have agency and the right to their own opinions and choices.
Again: if you feel so strongly start your own channel. Nothing prevents you.
@@tanelviil9149 I notice that whenever someone says "freedom of speech", it's usually used as an excuse for them being insufferable dicks.
WOW! You are redefining the genre of movie/shows reaction and turning it into art.
I really find most reactions out there to be somehow exaggerating and disruptive to the material reacted upon, but your reactions go hand to hand with the material in endless harmony. Also, the after-watch analyses is added nice touch.
I had no idea what you were talking about until I got to the end discussion. It’s amazing how much work she puts into these videos. It’s like 2 videos in one.
For real though. There are definitely many disingenuous reactors/reactions out there with loud, over the top responses.
"Uh huh"
Best line of the entire series.
Great reaction! That dog was a murderer for sure, lol. Sorry to hear about your video being demonitized. RUclips gonna youtube. Glad you liked the movie. The sequels are pretty good imo.
John Wick kills no civilians in this movie. It's kinda implied that the underground world he belongs to doesn't really interact with "normal" people. The reason Jimmy the cop "leaves him be" it's not because he's corrupted, it's because what happened there belongs to John's world, and not to the cop's one, as the dead people were clearly assassins (from Jonh's world). Remember the movie is complete fiction (more like a comic book) so realism is out of the question here. In a way, Iosef crossed a line by killing the dog, as she was clearly innocent.
It's also hinted by the fact "he's the one you send to kill the f. Boogey Man" (not normal people).
Anyway great reaction as usual!
John Wick is definitely one of the best action franchises out there! It’s crazy how the first one was originally going to be a straight to DVD film, until it got switched to a theatrical release.
Whimsory, you are hands down my favorite movie reactor. Don't change a thing about your approach (although the editing WAS a little too much). Your analysis/commentary is 👨🏻🍳🤌🏻 (supposed to mean chef's kiss) excellent!
She has the best reactions on RUclips
Keanu worked for months preparing for this movie. The only time a stuntman was used was for the fall over the balcony. The actor who ‘killed’ the puppy was so upset he adopted the puppy 😻
The best thing about this movie is the twist on the main bad guy in action movies. Usually the bad guy is an arrogant overconfident prick who finds out the hard way when fighting the protagonist. In this movie Viggo knows how bad his son screwed up in the beginning and is already on the defensive. As a father he's trying to save his son but knows he's a dead man.
Your breakdown of the criminal organization in this movie was spot on. In reality the Mafia had rules/code you had to follow. The mob wanted to keep their operations under the table and not involve civilians. The local cops knew what was going on and the mob would pay them off but the mob would keep their operations quite and not harm civilians. The local cops knew if a mob guy got out of line the mob boss would deal with him and know where to dump the body so it would never be found. Bootlegging, gambling, tobacco and running unions were ok but dealing drugs was strictly forbidden by mafia leadership. In the end it was the US Government (The DOJ and FBI) that brought down the mob in the US.
To find out more about the mafia you should watch The Godfather trilogy and the movies Goodfellas and Casino. The last two movies are based on true stories.
Your commentary is very good, thorough and interesting. I’m here for everything you have to say, and welcome commentary during the film itself. Keep up the great work, Whimsory, and thanks for this one.
Learn the lessons from the V for Vendetta takedown but don't let it dissuade you from pursuing this channel. You're extremely talented and you have the potential to go far. It's all in the edit Whimsory. I'm sure you've already learned what you need to do going forward.
Re-edit and re-post!
Screw YT....
This was my first time watching your videos. Really like your idea of doing a review after rewatching it. Very thoughtful and original approach to a reaction video. Far better and involving thing to watch.
Well done. Thank you.
John Wick was influenced by an incident involving Marcus Lutrell, the author of Lone Survivor. Men broke into his home and killed his puppy named DASY, an acronym for his teammates killed in Afghanistan. Marcus armed himself and chased them down. He said he spared them because he had killed enough people, they were arrested and convicted.
Nice to see another Maidiac in the comments section of a non-Band-Maid video. ✌️
Have a "Hunky-Dory" day!🤘
Wow, didn't know that!
@@martinboyle9163Because si not true.
@@rapsi1978what part is not true?!? In 2009, Marcus Luttrell did in fact have his dog shot/killed and then helped track down the dog’s killers.
Jimmy the Cop sees the corpse and sloooowly takes his hat off with his RIGHT hand and keeps both in view the whole time.
Hey Whimsory, I hope you don't mind me giving my two cents on something you allude to in your reactions and discussion. There are times you mention that you are going on for too long and that people have left comments about the same issue. Personally, that's the whole reason I'm here. I very much enjoy your take on movie reactions. We get to watch most of it with you, and then we get a thoughtful, educated opinion of the movie and everything regarding it. You dig deep and do your homework so you can upload the best effort you can verbalize. I hope you NEVER change that part of your channel because it's the most unique and interesting part of it.. besides yourself of course. LOL.. Keep calm and carry on my friend.
John wick and Jack Reacher are the two biggest badasses in the past decade or so.
Yeah and both rescue dogs
GREAT REACTION!!!👍👍👍👍👍 I really enjoy your channel, you're funny, emotional at times, and I really like your informative closings!!! Have a WONDERFUL rest of the week!!!😀
Hey, Whimsory! Great job, once again! 👍👍 I must be a "patient person," in your words, because I always watch your outros until the end! You have such interesting things to say! 😁
Found your channel by chance and so glad I did. Excellent reaction and analysis. I will be watching out for your content, keep up the good work xXx
“ OH “ is the most powerful line in this movie.
And "Uh huh."
Glad that you're getting yourself in the loop with this series! It's _QUITE_ the series of films.
Edit: It's also worth looking up some stuff about Keanu Reeves' life that'll give some context to the storytelling and why he's as into this character as much as he is.
What's great about John Wick is there is a gamut of characters...real depth of character, even for some of the villains, as well as one-dimensional stereotypes like the son...a product of every kind of entitlement imaginable. John Wick is just solid all the way around. Also, JW may have killed a lot of people, but in his defense, they did try to kill him first- and everyone knows that if someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back.
This is the most emotional I've seen you in immediate memory, and rightly so. John Wick may be an action flick but boy does it punch in the gut!
Glad you enjoyed it! Eagerly waiting to see what you watch next!
Oh, EVERYone knows who John Wick is. Everyone except the son of the man he used to work for. “😂
Loved this rather emotional viewing with ya.
Hi Whimsory! I can’t wait to watch your reaction to this. I was eagerly anticipating your next upload. Your videos are always a joy to watch. Thank you!
Didn't know my Saturday night was going to be building Warhammer AND watching Whimsory crying over a dead dog. Actually I was a little teary-eyed at that too when I first saw John Wick
LOVE the first John Wick film! So much mystique and that song in the nightclub, Think by Kaleida , is perfect!
Ha, love that Marylin Manson impression
The John Wick series sets the bar for modern action movies. The music, the choreography, the action, the scenery etc. All Chefs kiss
I Still can't believe how much work you put into these reaction videos!
... Seriously, I love my movies, but no matter how much I like it, I don't think I could watch it three times in a week or so.
But that I'm complaining about the quality of your videos - on the contrary, this is what makes you exceptional, just don't burn out doing it for our sakes.
Maybe develop a more efficient, short-hand method that is easier on you?
We'd all still watch your videos, because your basic reaction (in the true sense I of that word) are genuine, and a joy see.
Just ease off on yourself a little.
Otherwise: Whimsory = superstar :)
Plus, we're all on edge waiting the 2 weeks it takes between each new release!!
Agreed. Sounds like you could cut your research in half and still be head and shoulders above the other reactors.
Keanu Reeves does all the fighting sequences and his shooting sequences .. he’s trained in both ..
The wink was adorable. Thank you for that.
No movie makes you care about characters so fast. not even 2 minutes in, and everybody i've watched this with and seen watch it online is immediately hooked.
I really love your approach to your videos and how you have a proper separation between the reaction and the outro. We get to both see it through fresh eyes and hear an analysis from an expert on the film.
great reaction i respect how much work you put in your outros for these movies i just love all that myself
love of a pet is unconditional. love for family partner friend is always conflicted. no one is perfect but even when animals upset us it is so much easier to forgive an animal compared to other humans
"It's already so sad"
Oh boy...
I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate your deep dives into each movie after you watch them. This sets you apart (by a wide margin) from most, if not all, reactors. When I see a new video from you, I almost get just as geeked about your outro as I do for the reaction. 😄 Please don't change your format and editing styles. Catching those little touches you add is half the fun!
I can't wait for more of your reactions! I've watched the entire john wick franchise and it's very good.
Thanks for pointing out the note on the cage at the end. I missed that!
Love the way you do these! Take care.
Once again, detailed analysis and awesome commentaries. You are really so hilarious and that's why it is not boring to watch and listen to you. 🤩
Being an assassin in the JWU is like being an Uber driver in ours. Theres a hit gig economy.
Good points made on the dog, the trope is very real. It's based on "save the cat". Have a character literally save a cat, like superman [1978], or save an innocent; kids, women, bystanders, what have you. "kick the dog", like here, is the inverse of that trope. Literal examples like american psycho [2000] and prisoners [2013]. But variants that are very common is have the main villain hurt or kill a henchman.
I always look forward to your reaction videos and your review at the end. Love it
I enjoyed your reaction as normal, I very much appreciate your commitment to doing a proper and thoroughly researched final reaction to movies.

That was an excellent edit, u got the good stuff and the humor and the story.
G'day Ms Whim, Jolly good 👍 Video I for 1 appreciate the work you put Into each and every one of your presentations , I think Editing is the real unsung hero of production's Thank you 🎉
Great reaction. I like your approach to responding to movies a lot. Please keep it up. Greetings from Germany.
The scene with the puppy is certainly sad, but man do I love watching the uninitiated walk into that scene haha. Keep up the good work Whimsory.
The John Wick Universe can be summed up with one quote from another movie:
"You live in a world so corrupt that we have infiltrated _every level_ of its infrastucture".
Another great reaction. You should watch the rest of the franchise too. Unpopular opinion though, IMO this first one is by far the best part. It was a refreshing action flick with lots of "grounded", hands-on", kinda "realistic"-action and a nice, simple revenge story.
Without any spoilers, they dropped that concept for a more video-game/superhero style over-the -top-action approach. A lot of people love it, and even I think they are still very entertaining movies, but it's not my cup of tea compared to the first one.
I’m with you. They could’ve stopped with just one movie.
@@IcyTorment Actually no, i haven't seen it yet. But thanks for the recommendation. I'll put it on my "to watch" list.
And to clarify, I think the first John Wick is great, but I still like 2-3 (haven't seen 4 yet). I think the first one was so refreshing, cause it felt kind of "real" not as over-the top and CGI/greenscreen/wirework loaded as most modern action movies, plus it had a simple story and didn't needed a whole "universe"-overhead. It kinda reminded me of some of my favorite action movies from the 80s/90s, esp. the Hong Kong action cinema of John Woo etc. (Hard Boiled, Better Tomorrow ...)
Glad I found your channel :) I loved your reaction and loved your commentary on it after :)
Always love your reactions and insights! Keep up the good work.
Thank you for taking the time to view the film more than once and to do the background research. It is unique in the action adventure genre in both execution and world building.
Now you have started the journey that is John Wick. I hope you enjoy the ride and I look forward to seeing your reactions.
Great job on your videos. Wish you the best. You do a great job of only reacting to the movie and then, waiting to share your opinion after the movie.
It makes a big difference and does set you apart from other reactors.
Hoping big things for you and your channel.
Great reaction to a classic. Love the research you do afterwards
Great channel love your reactions. Keep em coming! X
Cool reaction. Thanks.
This film is fantastic because it has so many layers in both the story and the visual style.
I just recently reacted to it, and was blown away. Can't wait to watch the next one.
"Tried to be fancy. Didn't work!" 😂😂😂
Great movie, Great editing, Great summary, Great reaction. Thxs
I'm so glad I found your channel. I love it!😍

"To sum up "John Wick" in 10 words or less..."
I can do it in five, quoted from Ryan George: "Oh pow pow pow...pow."
Hello there. Well, I do consider myself a "movie person" and I have seen, so far, all of the movies you have reacted to. Your in depth analysis at the end is probably my fav part.
Like you, if I like a movie, I do tend to dig in and read up on the movie, the actors, etc. Plus, being a musician, the music is a huge part for me as well.
I have found that you do find bits of information that I did not have most of the time. Very cool to learn new things about these older and sometimes, much older movies.
You do a fantstaict job. Looking forward to your next video.
Enjoy your reactions. Will watch as many as you put out.
Whimsory you're right, the person in a movie that takes out a dog is immediately hated. Now if you want the audience to cheer when a certain bad guy is taken out then make sure that the bad guy takes out a puppy. I like the fact that you watch the movies several times. I've had people tell me that they don't and usually won't watch a movie more than once. That's usually when I start asking them if they noticed/saw certain details in the movie that I know they missed. Then I tell them "that's why I watch a movie multiple times. You catch/notice a lot more of the movie when you watch it more than once."
oh SNAP, Whimsory watching John Wick..... OOOOOOO love this movie
Excellent reaction! 😎👍. Thanks for sharing it! 🐶💓
This was the first video ive seen from you, and yeah... i like your energy 😂 And the reaction was good too, keep up the good work girl ❤
41:04 that’s the thing about john wick, it’s what sets him apart from the other Assassins, he has a set of kinda twisted morals. The women were “innocent”, the men that worked for Viggo weren’t innocent and all fair game to John, hence in the club scene where he’s exposed and aiming at Josef, he kept eye contact and shot the guy he had pinned to the ground. An unspoken message, “I’m going to kill you and take back what I have given your Father”. The impossible task Viggo spoke of that John accomplished laying the foundation of what they were then, was the “Elimination” of the bosses of all Viggo’s rivals in one night.
So technically John gave Viggo his “business”.
Then again he didn’t kill everybody that worked for Viggo, he spared Francis the Doorman, mainly because Francis told John (in code) how many “hostiles” there were inside the club.
Your content is exceptional and rare from other channels. I liked the way you analyzed and expressed your opinion about the movie, your sense of humor too.
great reaction. i like how expressive you are. could listen to you all day, well, about an hour or so 😳😁. always look forward to your reactions. John Wick is a good series, 4 in total.
@23:36 if you look at the paperwork it’s stamped “to be put down”. I like to think of it as they saved each other.
Hello Miss Whimsory !!! This whole series is Absolutely worth the watch even if you watched them in Order !!! Still I wish you my Warmest Regards from the Sunshine State of Florida 🌞
& The like button 🔘 has been Illuminated 😁👍👍😎🥴
Thanks for another great reaction Whimsory. Loving the in depth outros. I think that you would really enjoy the Fifth Element and I would love to hear your thoughts on it. Keep up the good work.
Chris from Scotland
I can't wait for you to watch the next three. Each one is better than the last. I thouraly enjoyed your reaction to this one! I look forward to your next John Wick reaction.
Mark my words she’ll hit 100k sooner than later.
Quite the journey you've chosen. One of my favorite film series.
Oh, Viggo is definitely done. John most likely got his artery and definitely his right lung.
I have only started watching reaction videos in the last year or so and I'm super freaking picky. Young lady, you are an absolute gem. Your reactions are great but the post work you do on your outros is top tier! I've learned so much about movies I love from your deep dives and I love your takes, and your kitty cat! So floofy! I subscribed after watching 2 videos. Keep it up, sweetie! Slay all day!
Keanu smoked like a chimney in Constantine and was the good guy!!
The John Wick house is out here on Long Island in a VERY exclusive town called Mill Neck. ( At the end of Horseshoe Road right by the water.) -- The runway he drives on is at Republic Airport, Farmingdale, NY.. The fountain where Ms. Perkins gets hers is the Bethesda Fountain in Central Park. - The exterior for the hotel, is 1 Wall Street Circle in Manhattan. In real life, it's an apartment building with 1 vacancy.. Yes.. You can live at the Continental ..
LMAO "That's bad too." Yeah, sometimes the alarm does kind of feel like I lost my pet. :D
I like your reactions, commentary and opinions! Keep it going!
You have the best after-film discussions 🤔😄
Woot! A new whimsical Whimsory wideo! The evening is saved.
Glad to see you back. Missed ya
I appreciate your reaction and work on your videos.
Keanu did a bunch of three-gun training for this, so the gun handling is top-notch. There's some Stupid Hollywood Gun Tricks in the later movies, but this one had all realistic, if top-tier, gun handling.
The dialogue from the chair reveals how much the two had bonded during the building years.
