John Wick CAN’T die! Now, if you’ve seen John Wick Chapter 4 you may not believe that since he was clearly shot at the end of the movie. But, we’re not buying it. NO! After falling off buildings and getting hit by cars, John Wick would not simply die from a few bullet wounds. There’s something bigger going on with Keanu Reeves, and we’re about to find out…

Same. I feel like he could’ve powered through those injuries with no issue, but by that point he had already spent the entire movie coming to terms with the fact that the only way out from under the High Table is in death. Plus, he really didn’t have anything left. Most of his friends were dead, Helen was gone, his house was destroyed and he would most likely continue to be dragged back in if he kept living. So he probably was just ready to die.

@jalbnv 10 місяців тому
The John Wick that died at the end of CH 4 was the loving husband. The movie even starts with the elder telling John to forget about finding his wedding band. The events of this series happened because he couldn't grieve properly and let go of his wife, the dog she left him, their home, his car etc. The montage on the steps was him letting go. In this universe the legend of John Wick (baba yaga) literally cannot die. Maybe he's finally accepted that.

He basically did introduce the PAYDAY gang to the wider underworld and they are working. Their services can be for hire for the right conditions and it seems like it usually is because you get Continental coins for your troubles. But on the other hand, it can be written as noncanon at least until we find out if Starbreeze collabs with the John Wick crew again since PD3 is going to the Big Apple.

@thepianomaestro8859 11 місяців тому
My only theory if he did die, is that he let himself die, and if he rly fully accepted it, completely satisfied with his revenge then, his healing factor wouldn’t work, mainly bc his mind can control what his body does, like some people with healing factor can die if they wanted to, it rly depends on the char
@John_Stephens43 11 місяців тому
I think if he did die, it was in the first film and everything that follows is just a "fever dream." Rather than his life flashing before his eyes, it's his drive for revenge over the puppy. A case of the mind being willing and able, but the body soft and weak.

As side note. Some people have especially hard heads and as experienced assassin he could be smart enough to fake his lost of consciousness.

When I first saw the title to this video, I wondered if it would get into the concept of quantum immortality, which is a thought experiment in quantum physics... that basically John Wick is so lucky that his luck will even prevent his death from ageing. Once he started talking about the duel, my theory now is that they both worked together to deliberately hit non-lethal areas to pull a fast one and allow Wick to fake his death.

@lindsey3448 10 місяців тому
Maybe Winston just ordered the grave plot to be made before the duel just incase everything didnt go according to plan and both himself and Wick got killed. Earlier in the film Wick asked if he would get those words put on his grave. Winston just ordered to have his wishes carried out before the duel to play it safe if things went south.

I always thought that the reason he died in chapter 4 was because he was free from the high table and could live his life in peace as well as he helped his last few friends. Basically meaning that he has nothing left pushing him to continue living, like the adrenaline in his body is gone and he’s tired from all the fighting that he succumbs to wounds that wouldn’t have killed him normally. At least that was the only reason i could think of that he could die

For real. Knocking someone in the head is a fairly consistent way to disrupt, or outright stop, most autonomic processes. If you nail the right spot along the occipital bone, you can significantly disrupt someone's vision and coordination with a light impact. Folks who are trained to accurately strike with significant force, either hand-to-hand or with a weapon, can reliably unalive someone by causing cardiac or pulmonary arrest. And that's just the immediate consequences; well before we get to the long term problems associated with concussions and TBIs. Don't hit people in the head, especially if you don't know what you're doing, unless you're ready for them to be dead.

@deadman9335 11 місяців тому
About the falls, he is also wearing clothing that is meant to take impacts for him even able to stop bullets at point blank ranges so he has a protective layer of flexible armor on his back every time he falls. Now onto the super powers aspect, it is also possible that John wick has him self a bone density and even a muscle density mutation. He is shown to take many hits that would normally cause a lot of damage to a person and continue going before they heal and I think that may have been do to his bones being denser than normal making them stronger which would make him heavier. Additionally as death battle points out, John wick has some level of super strength, and as someone who has a Myostatin muscle hypertrophy mutation, I can speak with experience on this subject. In my case I have about 1.3 times the amount of muscle strands per mm across my entire body or in other words, normal people have about 50 strands per millimeter and I have about 65 per millimeter. This allows me to lift and push weight like a professional body builder dispite the fact I am barely more fit than the average man and my weight would tell you otherwise as I weigh 220 pounds but look like your average 180 pound 5,10 male just because the extra muscle strands make me heavier. I have also learned that muscle helps soften impacts and having more of it would absorb more force than normally possible which would again explain another reason that John wick can take all that damage and keep moving.

MatPat also erroneously factored in acceleration in the club fall. Horizontal to vertical momentum should have been on a parabolic calculation, not inertial-neutral.

Yeah, John Wick is very alive after his falls.

Remember however, he was wearing armor during those falls, armor that reliably and repeatedly stopped small arms fire; most likely the armor material is capable of efficiently spreading impact force over its entire area. This would have certainly absorbed some of the impact during his falls...as a result the fall onto the fire escape would not be equivalent to concentrating all that force on his lower spine but over his entire torso.
