Gun Fu is a new style and type of filmmaking, and in that sense the genre has changed filmmaking and movies. John Wick happens to be at the forefront of Gun Fu. I get the writer and editor had an assignment to promote John Wick 4, but they should've picked different content to do that because the article actually does Gun Fu as a genre a disservice. I don't find the John Wick world-building to be that deep even taking into consideration the upcoming spinoffs, unlike Guillermo del Toro's stuff, LoTR, Harry Potter, etc.

Gun fu has been around since the 80s with John Woo, it's not new

Gun fu is new to films because it has only been around since the 80s, and popularized in the west through The Matrix franchise.
