One thing to remember with Wick though, there is no break between the 2nd and 3rd films. So, by the time he got to the final boss in the latest film, he had already butchered his way through hundreds of guys, been shot, stabbed, beaten and rammed by cars 3 times, with only very brief periods in between where he could basically change clothes/gear and stitch up some cuts.But debating Wick is going to become problematic IMO. Because, based on the feats from film 2 and 3, the entire premise/motivation for these films should never have happened. Because if this guy can shrug off impacts with cars, and trash High Table Elites in full armour with automatic weapons, some punks should never have gotten the better of him, sneak attack or not. Based on his durability feats in the later films, he should have shrugged off their hits and beaten them to death long before they got near his dog. Which is one of my main gripes with just how quickly these films have gone over the top. There is rapid feat escalation with almost no thought for continuity/consistency.
Jon was retired for a few years when he was attack. Also remember, even after Wick came back for revenge, he wasn’t 100% in the game until he was being tortured and gave that speech.
