    To be fair, its really hard to explain to people why its good. Like imagine the inverse of trying to sell someone on seeing John Wick by describing the plot. “Theres a retired assassin and some gangster kills his dog and then he goes on a rampage”. DCC ping-pongs around from dick jokes to proper emotional torment to obscene violence and back to dick jokes so well while not being able to stick to a genre worth a damn that any attempt to decribe it will sound like a delusional fever dream.

      That’s exactly how I’ve had John Wick described to me… hah. It’s not at the top of my to-watch-list, but it’s not disqualified either.

      Alright, so long as there’s some emotional torment and not just dick jokes - I’m in!
