Even though the former UFC commentator shares immense respect for the franchise and its impeccable action, Rogan doesn’t back away from questioning the logic behind these movies.

Joe Rogan explains why theJohn Wickmovies don’t make any sense
While speaking on theJoe Rogan Experience, the former UFC commentator went on to question the logic behind these movies and explained how theJohn Wickfranchise doesn’t make sense. Rogan expressed that he is stunned by the fact they are still rooting for Keanu Reeves’ Wick. Even though the character is one of the most gruesome serial killers in cinematic history, and has a kill count more than all of theHalloweenmovies combined. He said,
“The movie makes the least amount of sense. He’s the nice guy serial killer assassin, who can’t be stopped, and everybody roots for him… John Wick has now killed a total of 299 people onscreen, that’s more than the combined total of Jason Voorhees and all the Friday the 13th movies… Oh my god! that’s so ridiculous. But it’s crazy that we’re rooting for him to kill everybody”
Even though some aspects of the movie might not make total sense to Rogan, that doesn’t diminish his love for the character, and he hasn’t missed the opportunity to commend its brilliance.

“One day, I did 1100 points, I did seven hours of cardio… Mostly elliptical machine, because we watch movies. So I watched John Wick like 50 times. I kept rewinding it to the scene in the bath house where he kills everybody. It’s just because it’s so adrenaline-filled you can keep going.”
