>The myths and stories around Baba Yaga are a lot more complex than "Russian boogyman."

Them calling Wick Baba Yaga was also way more complex than in the sueface. Yes. He was the monster the mob sent to kill the boogeyman. But he was also known to occasionally let people go. Even help them in the same ways the myth Baba Yaga could actually be helpful to those who come into her house.

This doesn’t explain why they took female character instead of male character of the same traits. It’s essentially as imagine a Greek badass bearded killer who everyone is afraid of and his badass nickname is Athena, as he always wins lol

I think Koschei would’ve worked better. He’s also more of a scary boogeyman than Yaga.
