John Wick: The High Table Explained

I want this franchise to go on forever

Interesting stuff, thanks to author

So basically john killed three high table members?

"John Weak"

its just a modern day assassins creed Rogue. 😆😆

The who’s sitting in the high table is Imu Sama, thanks me later😅

The first rule you state makes no sense if the guy from the second movie is part of the high table because they make it clear the reason john is in trouble is for shooting in the continental not for killing a high table member

How about The Tarasov Family? They one of the High Table member right as Russian Representative?

here is the list of the official high table members


The Shinobi
Chidi (deceased)
Zero (deceased)
The Adjudicator
The Harbinger
Killa Harkan (deceased)
Vincent Bisset de Gramont (deceased)
Caine (formerly)

The adjudicator uses they/them pronouns not she/her

Some minor corrections: The opinion is that the Harbinger originates from the same group as the Adjudicator does, and is NOT a member of the High Table, but an enforcer who carries the weight of the High Table. This can be proven by the letter he gave Winston declaring the Continental New York to be "condemned". Winston revealed this to Charon, and told him that it had the signatures of ALL 12 members of the High Table. He didn't sign it, he simply brought it to Winston and gave him the hour that it would carried out.

Also, the missing finger is actually associated with the Yakuza Crime Syndicate, and it a physical way to make atonement to ones oyabun, or "boss, overlord, one over others" in Japanese. This often entails the loss of a finger, sometimes even an ear or toes to say "I'm sorry I failed". As for the High Table, it is modeled in Roman Catholicism and even uses many of its terms. Like consecrated/deconsecrated, excommunicado (exile, banishment) And the THIRTEEN members of the High Table. Like the 12 Apostles at the Last Supper. And Jesus Christ above them, but sits with them. The Elder is basically their "Jesus" but acting more like an overseer and tie breaker for a vote. He sits above them. Also, the High Table members must be descendents of the original founding members. Like the DiSantorio family they go back to Roman times and the fittest of their children inherit the seat. Unless there is a "dispute" to that fitness to lead. Also, the gambler the Roska Roma asked for a tooth not as a trophy, but as proof of his death. Settlements of this nature often require a "souvenir" of sorts as proof to the family, and to the High Table of the unfortunate demise of a member. It was the only way John Wick could be claimed by a family. And for punishment of the Table Members? Let the punishment fit the infraction. The director's helping hands? Paid in blood with her hands being impaled. The Bowery King? 7 bullets, 7 bloody cuts for penance and reasserting of fealty.

Winston is the most powerful character in john wick

The elder kept all the water pound closed and let people pay for water that's why he is a god 😂

I have not watched ch 4

Solntsevskaya Bratva. BWAHAHAHHAHAHA. OP knows shit.

It was cool to create a series about their history.

Get your fucking facts straight.

you forgot about Berrada, he operate the facility to mints coins..I'm pretty sure he also a big name

Welp first the elder is someone who sits above the table, and has pretty much the highest authority,
2ndly, marquis along with his family had association with the high table, but not a holder of the one of the twelve seats, he was selected and approved by the 12 seats member as the person to punish john wick and everyone who helped him with full backing and the backing became even more powerful after john shots the elder, also chidi works for marquis not a member of high table.
3rdly, the 12 seats of the high tables are basically are occupied by strongest crime families in the world, and only 7 were revealed, russian bratava, Chinese triad, camorras, japanese yakuza, latin america cartels, costa nostra, ndrangheta.
4th, I don't think it's against any rules to kill a member of the high tables, only problem is that the family of the deceased will put a bounty worldwide to hunt you down, because when the adjuducator came in newyork she clearly said, that a member of the hightable was killed while taking sanctuary in the continental hotel, and under his watch and he didn't killed John because he deemed it not to be, she never said anything about john breaking rules except killed someone in the continental grounds, and just mentions that he has killed two members of the high table and has killed dozens of men.

About the other members of the 12 seats prob a few of then are occupied by governments, cause they are all doing this under their noses, so they will most def needs some sort of agreement between them, or maybe some strong criminal families with old heritages.

Wow love how this dude gets so much wrong or miss represented lol

No criminal organization like this would be able to survive. Too gaudy and the opposite of discrete.

"Go ahead, kill me, kill me all you want, it won't do a damned thing. You can kill a person, but you cannot kill an idea."
~Benjamin Sisko, Mid 20th-Century (Approx.) (Paraphrased)

Not much explanation needed their basically the Illuminati from what I’ve got from the movies.

I think the reason they're keeping the high table kinda mysterious
So there could be possibilities
To add more but for me
JW 4 ended pretty well
And im satisfied

Tfg

ministerium umbrarum

11 minutes of stating what everyone already knows.

I watched all 4 the movies when they first came out. Santino D'Antonio made a mistake. He wanted a seat at the High Table so he ordered John Wick via a Marker to kill his sister. Than when his sister was dead, Santino D'Antonio placed a bounty on John Wicks head leading to the dead of Santino D'Antonio himself, killed by John Wick. If the High Table really have a list of all these markers, they would know that Santino D'Antonio "cheated" the system. Cause even Winston said it himself to Santino D'Antonio, when he was still alive, that Santino D'Antonio stabbed the Devil in his back.

It's crazy how these people behave with utmost decorum and professionalism but really, they are all just killers lmao.

So helpful, thanks for this👍👍

Jesus Christ this was just an open and shut self-contained revenge story now it's a cinematic universe with 17 sequels. Fuck this and fuck the marvelization of Cinema. Fuck all John Wicks after the first one. Fuck Joker 2. Fuck you all who like and subscribe to this shit.

If you’re an assassin in this world at what point do you just say fuck it the moneys not worth dealing with this man ?

The High Table is like The Council of 13 in real life

Who the hell makes the subtitles they are very horrible.

I thought this is fact turn out this is just theory, better do a recap bro, there's a dime a dozen theories on the jw universe.

Now I see why your channel has only 2k subscribers. 😔

Marquis is not a name, it's a title. You should either say "the marquis", "vincent" or "marquis vincent".

But...JW was declare his retirement before or after thier wed....to live a life normaly & peacefully in verse 1...., but...his wife was murdered...rigth..?

gawd damn, i tried to pay attntion to this video but this accent is atrocious ...

just read about King Arthur and his Round table with 12 knights

the "marquis" is a title, his name is Vincent

“John weak” lol

What if that old guy(Dinner reservation fir 12) who always collect corpses is also a member of hightable.🤔

This movie was not very good. Way to fuck up a good movie with these sequels.

John wick the goat of action movies

Please fire the person in charge of your subtitles.

Wrong

Uh oh.. you are starting to look into the bs plot of this series of movies... So much for world building. They wrote themselves into so many corners and bs their way out so many situations based solely on the acting of Mr Reeves. You guys would be lapping up star wars like the femining like thirsty dogs if Reeves was kyle ren.
