Vol1 exhausted me, so let's see if I can power my way through this one!
And that the dialogue is still horribly written from before.
And that the director is a GIGANTIC weaboo.
So if the same still applies, I may not mention it too much.
CHAPTER SIX
Uma mentions that her attack became infamous, almost like an urban legend. So many versions, but she's telling us the facts.
I've noticed that the camera loves feet for no reason...
Then flashforward to a desert. Budd says if Uma comes for him, he'll own up to what he did. He says it in a VERY racist way and I don't feel comfortable repeating it. (anti-Semitism)
CHAPTER SEVEN
Budd walks in late to work and gets fired (I think).
This all takes way too long with a lot of horrible dialogue from horrible people.
Budd is a bouncer at a strip club. One girl is mean or blasé to him. His job is to keep the girls safe, and the boss is an asshole. Tarantino wrote her with the idea that Budd is beneath her, so she treats him as such.
Uma waits under a trailer for him, while he's busy looking for snipers. She tries to surprise him by swinging the door open, but he's waiting with a shotgun with rock salt. He tranqs her after humiliating her some.
It's all pretty boring, really.
Uma wakes up with a decision: get buried alive quietly with a flashlight, or buried alive with a can of mace in her eyes. There's more sexist dialogue and racism here too.
Bill plays a flute and talks of a Master Pai Mei. He's a man who kills anyone who might be insulting him. He hates white people and women, but still teaches Uma on Bill's request. And does he look cliché! Like, anime doesn't get this cliché!
And the first lesson he teaches her is "I am more powerful than you and you aren't shit." Great lesson, asshole.
Flashforward to her buried again. She manages to cut her bonds. Using Pai Mei's teachings, she breaks the wood and tunnels upward to get free.
CHAPTER NINE
Elle drives up to Budd. Uma crosses the desert still covered in dirt. Couldn't wash up in the bathroom sink?
Are we to assume she dies, or is it leaving her blind akin to leaving her dead? It's bad either way.
Uma heads to Mexico to meet with one of Bill's father figures. He flirts with her A LOT. Considering he was a "pimp" and is an abuser, this is awkward and uncomfortable.
He tells her where to find Bill, nonetheless, so off she goes.
I feel like I know more about the villains than I do her!
Uma gets up to talk to Bill. And maybe she did bring her own and not Budd's... Nevermind then!!
Clark is mild-mannered (fuck off "weak,/coward" bullshit) because that flies under the radar better than a power-lifting beefcake!
Why did Pai Mei teach her that? He didn't like her! Why her and not ANYONE ELSE? BAD WRITING! It also gives an asshole a bloodless death. WE WANT A FIGHT SCENE, ASSHOLE!
THANK FUCKING SWEET BLESSED FUCK, IT'S OVER.
0/10, just NEVER again.
Both movies? 0/10. It'd be a CHORE to sit through, and a messy one at that. The kind you need a hot shower after.
You want a good revenge story with good action? Go watch John Wick! Has a better protagonist to boot, too!
