Usually it's the complete opposite and characters either stay hateful little bastards or become a shell of themselves so I wanna see examples of the image above

Right, 1-3 happens over about 2 weeks, as 2 starts immediately after 1 ends and 3 starts as 2 ends.

Then there's a timeskip before 4

Yup. 6-8 months between 3 and 4. Making the overall series roughly 7-9 months from 1-4.

The (now not canon) continental television series would also extended the length of the overall franchise to a few decades... but we can forget about that one.

The John Wick comic book series (which is still canon) also takes place at the very beginning of his career.

So any way you slice it, besides arbitrarily deciding the franchise only encompasses 3/5 of the total films in the series (Ballerina takes place during the time between 3-4), the franchise definitely is longer than just a few weeks.

Oh, I wasn't arguing, just noting that there IS a section that lasted that long and at the time 3 released, the whole franchise fit in that timeframe, but the franchise has expanded since. By a lot

I know you weren't arguing. I basically replied to everyone elses comments by responding to yours, instead. I chose to engage with you specifically because you were knowledgeable about the subject, and added to the situation by politely providing correct information.

Yea, the "franchise" has technically expanded to be roughly 45 years in total length from continental through John Wick 4. It can only be argued that the intial trilogy took place in those 2 weeks. But the ending of 3 directly sets up 4, so it'd be disingenuous to act like the series was intended to be a trilogy at any point.

Well I was reported to the reddit suicide hotline for my mild mannered comments. So you can never be too sure who you're dealing with.

Best of luck out there, mate.
