About
Bad Guys vs. John Wick refers to a series of image macro expressing the nervousness people feel when fictional character John Wick picks up an innocuous object to use it as a weapon.
Origin
On February 10th, 2017, the film John Wick: Chapter 2 was released in the United States. In the film, characters frequently remark on John Wick's (portrayed by Keanu Reeves) ability to kill people with household items, specifically a pencil (clips below).[1]
On May 21st, 2019, Redditor [2] ethan_photoshops posted an image of Wick holding a pencil smiling and the caption "John Wick: *runs out of bullets* Enemies: finally we are going to kill John Wick." The post received more than 550 points (99% upvoted) in three days (shown below).
