    /* ---- VIDEO INFORMATION ---- */
    Welcome to the Heavey Spoilers show, I'm our host Paul aka the biggest Wickhead on youtube and this video we're gonna be talking about a number of the big things that we've learned about John Wick Chapter 4 since it's release.
    In this video we're gonna be talking about the alternate ending that they considered using and also how the cast and crew reacted to Lance Reddicks passing.
    I wanna get straight into it but as we're talking about the original ending we have to give a spoiler alert up top before we get into it. This scene was shot as an add on to what we saw at the end and it may ruin the film if you haven't checked it out yet. With all that out the way, huge thank you for clicking this, now let's get into John Wick Chapter 4.
    Ok so the movie ends with John taking down the Marquis but in order to do that he has to goade him into taking part in the duel itself. In his arrogance once he sees that John is seeminly beaten he decides to take Caine's weapon and he goes to shoot Johh. Wick didn't actually fire during the last shot of the duel and he uses this opportunity to kill the Marquis and free not only himself but also Caine and his daughter.
    However he's mortally wounded and he ends up dying on the steps of the church after uttering his wifes name Helen.
    Now many people were shocked to see this scene playing out as Wick was seen as this invincible and unstoppable terminator that was the very personification of the boogeyman.
    -
    Because of this many people have speculated over the last couple of days that Wick is actually still alive and there's been a lot of wires getting crossed over whether he'll return or not. There was a fifth John Wick film greenlit along with four and thus there's been talk that they just haven't announced that so people go with the ending. Wick is also due to appear in the Ana De Armas spin-off the Ballerina and you can see how rumours can spread.

      They could do 2-3 more movies (prequel) starring Keanu. From his time in Ruska Roma up to his "impossible task" when he left everything behind for his wife. We'll get to see more Marcus, Aurelio, Winston, Sofia, Shimazu, Caine, etc. I expect the impossible task to be as intense as Chapter 4 since that's when he got his nickname Babayaga. Plus, it's a better sendoff for the franchise since it will end in a happy note with John and his wife finally together as a loving wife and a 'loving husband'.

      I always feel weird when I wonder why I should feel something for a celebrity. The overwhelming majority of us never knew Lance Reddick in person, but here's a man who put himself out there and on screen to entertain the world and pursued his passion. From the sounds of it he was a very good person and well-liked among his peers. On a very down to earth, very human level, it's sad. I can't imagine what his family and friends are going through, but I hope somewhere they are able to find a little joy in that so many people really enjoyed seeing their son, their husband, and father on screen. While we can't feel the depth of their pain, so many of us I'm sure took a moment of solemnity for Lance when that scene hit.

    I think they faked Wick's death for a couple reasons:
    1. so he can enjoy his hard earned freedom in true peace, the simbolism of John Wick is dead, but John the loving husband is still alive and well... but where? ;)
    2. so they can focus on branching off the Wick-verse with Ballerina, the Continental and now Caine, pretty sure they still want to do JW5 but they want to take their time on that
    3. if you look at Wick's dog at his funeral, the dog is looking at another direction, as sensing his master alive somewhere near

    I think the ending they went with was the best one. I'm glad the series got to conclude, and not just be draged along for too long. It's my favorite of the franchise. Wich is pretty cool since i was initaly disappointed when Chapter 3 ended in the same place that Chapter 2 ended. But this film was just pure perfection. A nealy 3 hour run time had me a bit worried. But i fealt every bit of it was justified. It's one of the best action movies i've ever watched. And i'm beyond happy with it.
    I also got the dedication to Lance at the end. Wich made me Happy to see. He was a great actor. And he was Fantastic in the role. It was really sad to see him die in the film. But from what i've heard, he was really proud of this film. So i think it was important to keep it as it was when he was happy with it. Can't wait to see the spin-offs. I hope they can keep up the quality that the series has reached.

    I have an alternative that says Chapter 5 will happen with John. Hear me out. If the Journey to the duel represents the stations of the cross.The beatings from Pontius was the gauntlet. He fell three times… twice up the stairs and once on the third bullet. Even his clothes are taken from him at the top of Golgotha (the church). Winston is technically Judas when he betrays him in Chapter 3. He bowed his head and said Helen (it is finished). Then we saw the tomb. But what happens after. In 3 days he comes back. His journey isn’t over.He’s got another movie which creates a new movement (Christianity) that over throws the previous regime. He created an idea that you can be redeemed and through his death that the tracker saw, he can spread the word… the first apostle. honestly when you consider this, they only need the idea of John in Chapter 5, and the strike down of the apostles by the table, but eventually the families buy into the idea that the table is fallible and the table falls apart.... thoughts?

    While Chad says he's dead, Keanu claims to think he's still alive. I'm kinda in the middle and am willing to believe either side, and I like that ambiguity. Especially since Winston's line in chapter 3 about John needing to decide to be Baba Yaga or continue to be John Wick, the who loved and was loved by his wife. So, you could make the claim that John lived and it was Baba Yaga that died.

    I'd say I would've preferred something like him being injured many times prior to the duel, playing the duel similarly to how it was, and when it ended, with a ragged John slumping on the stairs, it cuts to his eventual recovery but having lost something, like having his shooting hand/arm amputated due to the injuries, signifying he lost the hand/arm he used to kill lots of people and finally spend time with the dog and finally be able to go to sleep in a comfortable bed just like with Daisy in chapter 1 but this time with a warmer color filter and the pitbull at his side, just for them to wake up and walk into a warm sunrise and move on. Just a tiny fantasy.
    I really didn't want him to die, although it was foreshadowed with the "loving husband" comment to Winston. Man, that movie got me on the edge for almost three hours, and after the shock and the adrenaline, I cried, badly.
    It felt bad to have john go through all that shit to be free, to die alone and not being able to say goodbye to his dog.
    That said, I don't wish for them to deux ex bullshit machina revive him magically; it'd take all the impact away from this ending, but I really feel sad for him; And that's without counting the post-credits scene where it is pretty much clear Akira went for the kill against Caine, when he and his daughter were finally set free thanks to John. It leaves some emptiness in my heart.

    I get the feeling that John is still alive, given his wound & all the times he fell from numerous high places especially in Chapter 3, John does deserve to rest but then why would they pan to his grave site even though he had asked to be taken home by Winston? Somehow I do believe there will be a chapter 5 being people have been known to fake their death & there's still certain issues to be resolved. Respect to Lance Reddick, I like many will miss him immensely being that he added so much to the story from it's inception. Here's hoping that there will be Chapter 5.

      He chose to die and bleed out though. He asked Winston to take him home. With such a big focus on death, consequences, the never ending cycle of vengeance (as hinted in the post credit scene) throughout the film, it would cheapen everything in ch. 4 if they brought John back. Loved Keanu in the role, but they’ve tied up his storyline perfectly and set the stage for the other side characters to continue the story.
      I could see them doing prequels to have Keanu reprise his role. But having his death by final makes sense from a narrative perspective.

    Lance was a phenomenal actor and will be greatly missed. He had such a wide range of emotion and character in his performances, and he always connected with cast and crew. The first role I saw him play was Matthew Abaddon in ABC's Lost. It's still my favorite series of all time. I tend to follow the careers of the writers and cast just to see how they're doing now and what projects they're working on. I was so excited when I saw Lance as The Continental Concierge opening weekend for John Wick 1 way back in 2014. Having Lance in the cast for anything was truly a seal of quality; you felt the time, money, and effort was all worth it knowing that he was a part of it.

    They can still do one final movie, about what John did to get out the first time. Its heavily referenced in the first and second, and briefly in the third, and involved Santiano, Tarasov and others. Chapter 5 is listed on imdb still, but so was the fourth Ridley Scott Alien movie and Disney made sure to kill that - so who knows. He struck a blow to the high table and its rules with chapter 4 and it makes sense that he was given his peace, so I'm happy as it is, but would love to see what he did prior to everything.

His revenge was complete & he was free from the High Table hunting him & freed his friend too. His life was complete. He didn't need to fight & kill anymore and could let go........ So he did.
