There always are two kinds of heroes.

1. The noble and honorable hero, fighting to uphold the world's balance and to protect the innocent.

2. The vengeful hero bent on punishing the guilty at any costs.

When they see a person who was just attacked and mugged by a criminal, there is the man who will rush to see if they're ok, and the man who will rush after the perp.

Following his wife's death, John came out of retirement after Viggo's son, Iosef Tarasov, murdered his dog, Daisy (who was gifted to John posthumously by Helen to help him grieve), and stole his car during a home invasion. He succeeds in his quest by killing Iosef and eventually Viggo, before reacquiring his car from Viggo's brother Abram Tarasov.

and Equalizer,
Robert McCall is a former special service commando who faked his own death in hopes of living out a quiet life. Instead, he comes out of his self-imposed retirement to save a young girl, and finds his desire for justice reawakened after coming face-to-face with members of a brutal Russian gang.

John Wick is John Wick, he isn't a hero. He is just doing John Wick's things.
Isn't he an anti-hero of sorts?

A retired assassin for hire is not an anti-hero.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antihero

An antihero (sometimes spelled as anti-hero) or antiheroine is a main character in a story who may lack some conventional heroic qualities and attributes, such as idealism, courage, and morality.


Why not friend?


Typically, an antihero is the focal point of conflict in a story, whether as the protagonist, or as the antagonistic force. This is due to the antihero's engagement in the conflict, typically of their own will, rather than a specific calling to serve the greater good. As such, the antihero focuses on their personal motives first and foremost, with everything else secondary

Sounds like he's pretty anti-hero to me. Specially in the first movie. Since he goes on a rampage to avenge a dead doggo. A true man of culture.

True.


The first movie was just a righteous revenge story action movie, except the "gotcha" part was that Wick wasn't an "Everyman," but a highly efficient killer.

That's not even that unusual. There are plenty of those movies out there. What made "John Wick" different is that it set up an entire "fantasy world" of an tightly structured "Assassin's Empire." There aren't that many people willing to pay that much money to have someone else assassinated that could then support such a huge number of organizations. But, whatever...

So, that's the magic that set film audience's on fire, in a nutshell. Plus, Keano. Movies love Keano. I have nothing at all against him and think he does really well in that kind of role. But, he can't really... "act." :)

The rest is as they say... history. After the secret Assassin 'sEmpire and Wick's background was more or less revealed, the only hook the series had left that producers wanted to continue was what intrigued audiences to begin with - Gun-Fu and Assassins Empire.

There isn't much that is redeeming about John Wick. Which, is some of what tweaks the audience. But, since the movies do not attempt to make John Wick a character with redeeming qualities, audiences don't try to scratch that itch in the presence of slow-mo Gun-Fu reminiscent of his action bits in "The Matrix" movies. (John Wick chases after the dramatic "Neo and Trinity rescue Morpheus" gunfight scene. If there's any inspiration for John Wick choreography, it is determined to chase after the audience that loved that segment in the movie.)

After the first movie, the rest are simply indulging in Gun-Fu and the mystique of the Assassin's Empire. (The real-world history of the Assassins serves as the inspiration for that fictional, fantastical, empire in the movies.)
