Perversely

But even if one of the curves is sloped “perversely,” the condition may still be fulfilled […]

By such perversely exacting standards the possibilities for a genuine, living Inuit art to exist at all are slim.

There is another reason the films are so entertaining and successful, though (with the franchise earning more than $500 million dollars so far). Perversely, we love John Wick himself. That lethal, bereaved assassin is a good bad guy for our times, the natural extension of Tony Soprano, Walter White and all the other heroic antiheroes the culture has embraced.
