Why didn't they kill the adjudicator?
What more did Wick and Winston have to lose when she decided to make the Continental no longer a safe haven?
shareI could understand Winston trying to get back in good with the high table... but Wick has nothing to lose and should have killed her the first time he saw her without a second thought... didn't understand why he didn't.
shareBecause the round table would have just sent someone to replace her, and keep on doing so.
And ultimately they would probably have just stormed the hotel anyway if they kept killing adjudicators.
Like I said I understood Winston... just didn't understand why John didn't eliminate her and send her head back to the head of the table in a box. They have created a situation at this point where in the follow ups John must either eliminate the head of the table and possible all the member or die trying. Nothing else would make any sense at this point.
shareThe feeling that I got was that John realized she was a professional with a job to do, much like he has always been. She as an individual did not pose an immediate threat, and killing her wouldn't stop the high table from sending others to kill him, so there was no practical or personal reason to take her life.
shareThat's kind of how I saw it too. She acted more like law enforcement than a threat. If you kill a cop, that doesnt change the law. Would have felt like an unnecessary and frankly out of character thing for him to do.
shareThat's the perfect way to put it, I think. You put a feeling I had into words when you said it would be an out-of-character thing for him to do.
Yeah. I remember when I was watching the movie that I was thinking if he actually killed her it would just feel weird.
Could he not just kill Winston? or did he invalidate that deal by not taking the first opportunity to do so?
