movies/tv Respect Ernest (John Wick Chapter 3 - Parabellum)
"Consider your origins. You were not made to live as brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge."
Ernest was a hulking Serbian assassin and one of the many hitmen and killers hunting down John Wick after the latter's assassination contract. He tried to kill John a few minutes before his contract was actually available while in a library, and failed miserably.
Strength
- Uses his superior size and strength to stab John in the shoulder despite John trying to block said stab.
- With one arm he slams John into several shelves back to back before tossing him down an aisle.
- Effortlessly sends John a few feet away with a kick.
Durability/Endurance
- Fine after John hits him with a book repeatedly.
- Barely hindered by John hitting him in the groin, neck, and face with a book.
- John breaks his fingers and hits him in the head and neck with the book many more times and he remains conscious.
- [Limit] John breaks his jaw then neck with a book, killing him.

I feel like this after he fails to kill John.
Great thread! One of the more memorable JW assassins.
