I still can’t forgive John Wick for wasting that DC actor 5 years ago

Robin Lord Taylor may not be a well-known name, but his role in John Wick was so far behind his abilities. John Wick Franchise is one of the best modern action series in a long time. As an avid fan of Keanu Reeves and a fan of any film that deals with futuristic, dystopian themes, John Wick was right up my alley. With that in mind, I watched all four films in two days just to fully grasp the assassin-filled reality that Wick lives in.

While the films are beautifully shot, with incredible choreography and fight scenes, Reeves delivers an outstanding performance with increasingly fewer words in each new John Wick Another element that I found satisfactory in the film was the appearance of other well-known actors. Halle Berry, Ruby Rose, Laurence Fishburne and many more. These actors were notable and had important roles in other projects from the world of science fiction and superheroes. But an actor who GothamWas fell in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum without much fanfare.

Gotham proves that Robin Lord Taylor deserves a bigger role in John Wick 3

Robin Taylor Lord was capable of so much more

Taylor played a leading role in the hit series Gothaman alternate origin for Batman, in which Bruce Wayne appeared as a teenager. As Penguin Taylor showed an incredible ability to transformand an incredible range as an actor. Penguin often seemed weak and unassuming in the first seasons of the series, but over time he developed into a fearsome mafia boss who was capable of dark and crazy things.

But if you consider Taylor’s performance as an administrator in John-Wick 3 reveals absolutely nothing about the actor’s considerable talentIn a John Wick scene that lasts less than a minute, and since Taylor speaks less than 20 words in total, most of them monosyllabic answers, there was no room for the actor to shine. This is a terrible shame, because Taylor absolutely deserves more attention and recognition for his acting skills, and John Wick could have been a big step in his career if he had been given a bigger role.

John Wick 4 completely ignored the character of Robin Lord Taylor

The administrator does not return in the sequel

As much as his role in Parabellum Taylor received even more criticism for the sequel, John Wick: Chapter 4The film had the opportunity Correct the mistake and give Taylor a more meaningful roleand even expanded the character of the Administrator. Instead, Taylor was completely absent from the film, and there was literally no reference to his supporting role. Ultimately, he left the character in the dust and faded from existence.

Yes, I understand that John-Wick 4 had a new story to tell and it wouldn’t have made sense to spend a lot of time on a minor character. But it wasn’t as if Taylor’s character was in an uncomfortable position to come back for the sequel. The Administration seems to be a central element of the world where John Wick operates. They are a crucial part of how messages are transmitted and bounties are communicated. Taylor could have reappeared for a small cameo, similar to before, but instead he is never seen again.

It’s not too late for Robin Lord Taylor in the John Wick franchise

Taylor could still have a bright future in “John Wick”

Wick seemed to be lying on the ground, and the John Wick The franchise begins to look elsewhere. The Continental: From the world of John Wickhas already delivered a prequel story that explores how the famous hotel and meeting place for assassins became what it is in the modern films. In addition, a new film will soon be released that will serve as a spin-off starring Ana de Armas. ballerina is a new story from the same world, and it will Expand the story told throughout the franchise.

So what’s stopping them from making a new series centered around the Administration? The organization is largely shrouded in mystery. How did they rise to a central power? To what extent are they involved with the assassins? Why are they only using old technology and paper files? Given the many unanswered questions surrounding the organization, it makes perfect sense to expand the franchise and tell that story. And if that were to happen, I can’t think of anyone better to take the lead than Robin Lord Taylorwhich in a future John Wick Project.
