* FantasyCreep: The first film is a standard RoaringRampageOfRevenge, but hints at a wider world where gangsters and criminals appear to be part of a larger organization of some kind, with their own currency and properties such as the Continental hotels that serve as neutral zones. Over the course of the [[Film/JohnWickChapter2 next]] [[Film/JohnWickChapter3Parabellum few]] [[Film/JohnWickChapter4 films]] and [[Series/TheContinental television series]], this organization increases in scope and depth until it becomes an ancient criminal governing body of assassins that hide everywhere in plain sight, administrated by a council called The High Table, and has global reach and jurisdiction to the point where they have agents called "Adjudicators" to mete out justice on members not abiding by the Table's rules, or "Harbingers" who deliver messages on behalf of and speak for the High Table. Thus, the films go from John wanting revenge for Iosef Tarasov taking his happy life from him to following John as he desperately tries to free himself from the High Table's system again.

* AncientConspiracy: There exists one in this universe called the High Table, a ruling council of the world's most powerful criminal organisations that governs the assassin society. It is very old and incredibly powerful, operating across the globe and enjoying free reign to do whatever it wants, with those who sit at the table generally being treated as royalty by those who serve under it.

** In ''Chapter 4'' Katya tells John that in order to get his ticket mended he will only have to kill one man - Killa Harkan... completely disregarding that in order to do so John will have to cut a bloody swathe through a literal legion of Killa's {{Mooks}}. Apparently they're just furniture.

** Like many player-characters in shooter games, John Wick is very capable of pushing himself through even serious injuries with just some first aid and/or the aforementioned pain killers. Even when visibly fatigued by his accumulated injuries, he is still racking up an absurd amount of kills. John is also surprisingly resistant to FallDamage.

* SpiritualAntithesis: The film series has similarities to ''Film/AHistoryOfViolence'' but contrasts in key plot points. Unlike Joey Cusack, John is successfully retired from the underworld, but things get cut abruptly short by his wife's sudden death and he never has any children. While Joey is on the run and in hiding while John gets drawn back into his old life after he goes on RoaringRampageOfRevenge to hunt down a punk who steals John's prized Mustang and kills his dog in petty revenge over a trivial incident at a gas station where John was not interested in selling his Mustang. Joey manages to end his conflict by the end of one film, while John's situation spirals out of control and ends up spanning four films, culminating with a huge body count and major disarray left in the criminal underworld.

* NobleDemon: The Underworld of criminals and assassins runs on rules, a code of conduct grounded in honor and respect. Breaking these rules typically results in lethal punishment. John's staunchest allies, in particular, show respect and ''loyalty'', and the conflict of the later films is between the loyalty shown to ones comrades and the respect demanded by the High Table and its representatives.

* ToBeLawfulOrGood: The central conflict of the series, albeit for a given value of "good". John Wick goes up, time and again, against the powers that control the mystical underworld (the Law) while relying on the honor and good will of everyone else on the ground level (the Good).
