The Bride is a horrible character.

[James]

Jesus Christ.

I'm not saying it was bad that I knew how the film would end. I'm saying that the movie didn't keep me interested in seeing how it would end. I wasn't "pumped up" to see the endgame, because I didn't care about her revenge at all.

And aside from the horrible out-of-place part with Esteban, and the convenient plot points (which are a seemingly deliberate homage to the films this movie is based on, so I forgive that), I felt Vol. 2 was just a much better film. The characters were better fleshed out, and the story actually seemed to take the foreground. Vol. 1 was less about plot, and more about violence and action. Which again, I know is an homage to the films the movie was made for, but that doesn't mean I HAVE to like it. Vol. 2 just had more substance, making it feel more modern and well-done.

And I don't even know where to begin with "Because she doesn't perfectly line up with your pure of heart, virginal white vanilla idea of what a hero should be?" bullshit you're pulling out. So I'll just call you an idiot and go to bed.
