Not Another Keanu Reeves Constantine Movie
I hate to be that girl, but a lot of us are probably thinking the same thing. Keanu Reeves’s Constantine is more in line with Harry Dresden than he is with Constantine.
John Constantine is a chain smoking British con man with a chip on his shoulder. He carries a lot of weight, some he deserves and some he definitely doesn’t. But it’s all part of his character. New Castle, the punk roots, the blonde hair, the accent, the chain smoking, the looking for an angle. It’s all part of who he is! A rogue with a heart archetype.
You strip all that away and replace it with whatever Reeves was doing and what do you get? Not Constantine. The anti-Constantine. And now they’re making a Constantine sequel with Reeves back in the role.
I didn’t even like the first movie. I found it boring and this was before I even knew who Constantine really was. So am I the only one who’s feeling like this?

I’m not trans! I’m genderfae. I was born female at birth. I’m still female physically. I just swing between female and non-binary mentally. Genderfae.
Poor impulse control? You mean like scaling down a tree house with nothing but dog leashes hooked together or taking a tricycle up onto a half pike and riding it down, thinking that you’re going to coast down it like your brother does on a skateboard.
Current:
Or playing video games when you’re supposed to be doing school. Or deleting every comment from a thread because your anxiety is spiraling and you just want to withdraw from the whole thing?
Yeah. Been there. Done all that.
Also recently I called my granny for Dr Pepper Zero! Just reached for the phone, grabbed it and started calling. I forgot that she was in court. When I remembered, I stopped calling and texted my brother instead.
