Monkey Man shouldn’t be compared to John Wick (but it should be compared to V for Vendetta)

Spoilers for Monkey Man and V for Vendetta. They’re both excellent movies, so watch them.
In her video on Monkey Man, Yhara Zayd pointed out that it is rare for these types of revenge movies to get political. And that got me thinking it really wasn’t that much like John Wick and was more like V for Vendetta.
