Hello everyone, and welcome to another addition to StoryArc’s Make a Musou series!

‘John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum’: Descending Action
From the first movie with solid action and sophisticated character motivations in order to become a cult classic, to the sequel that sacrificed story for the single-handedly best and most vibrant gunfighting ever caught on film, we’ve now reached the third film, John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum that seeks to be the culmination of all…
John Wick: Chapter 2 – Perfecting Action
2014’s John Wick didn’t just set the bar for action cinema; it WAS the bar.
