TheJohn Wickfranchise, starring Keanu Reeves in the titular role, is known for its exhilarating action sequences and memorable moments. But it’s hard to ignore the fact that sometimes the scenes appear far from reality. One such aspect in the film is the behavior of the civilians in the film, who mostly seem oblivious to people being killed next to them.
Many fans have even called outJohn Wickmakers about the civilians in the film who barely react to people getting killed around them or even stumbling around badly wounded. Fans have complained that the films lack situational awareness.

John Wick Fan Theory Explains What Could Be The Reason
Fan theories are an integral aspect of fandom culture. They range from predicting plot twists to proposing hidden connections between characters. While some theories align perfectly with the source material, others are mostly playful conjectures. Now, one John Wick fan has tried justifying the lack of situational awareness among civilians in the film.
The fan theory suggests thatJohn Wickfilms are similar to a video game world, where, unlike NPCs in games such as GTA or SF, they don’t react. People just continue doing their thing unless something affects them physically.
The second theory suggests that the society of assassins is out in the open, and people are used to it. The theory is backed by the proof, as there’s a park scene where it’s revealed that everyone present was an assassin. Besides, one random cop in the firstJohn Wickfilm recognizes John Wick and the same thing happens with the radio station assassin in the fourth film.
Chad Stahelski, the director of John Wick films, admitted in his interview onThe Art of Actionthat the lack of situational awareness among civilians started as a joke, but they chose to go ahead with the idea. Well, in a film that has ninjas on bikes, it doesn’t sound far-fetched.
