Ironic that 'pacing' was mentioned.
That's actually another reason why I didn't like some parts of sequel, in comparison to the original film.
I previously mentioned the unnecessary long dialogue between Budd and his strip club boss, which had
nuthin' to do with the rest of the movies, ..the finale with Bill blabbering on about Superman/Clark Kent.
i've reviewed it again on YouTube, but still did not understand why Superman/Peter Parker talk was so necessary.
Both scenes are integral to the sequel in my opinion. First, the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad were composed of separate UNIQUE characters. None of them were remotely the same. I loved the Budd/boss conversation because it spoke directly to how and why one of the most dangerous men on the planet humbled himself to what the audience saw after The Bride awoke from her coma. Think about it. Old Budd would have killed the guy within a split second of speaking. New Budd takes the nonsense. Why? The audience gets an idea through that passage.
Bill's talk of differing superheroes' origin and existence is Tarantino's genius at work. The Bride is not Peter Parker a.k.a. Spider-Man. Like Bill said. Parker and Spider-Man are separate people in one body. Mask goes on. He's Spider-Man, everyone's favored neighborhood webhead. Mask comes off. He is Aunt May's son of another mother.
She is not The World's Deadliest Woman by day and assassin by night like Petey and Spidey. She is Kal-El/Clark Kent/Superman. Nothing changes when the glasses come off. He is the same guy all day, all week and twice on Sundays. The Bride was exactly the same. It did not even matter how much of a loving mother she could be. She was a killer, through and through. Running off and pretending to be someone else, even for the sake of her child's safety, would never change that fact.
One thing that has always disappointed me was Tarantino's lack of detail given to Vernita Green, Vivica A. Fox's character. Copperhead was in-and-out of the movie in short order. In my opinion, it was really disrespectful. The audience gets only a glimpse of what made her so freaking deadly. Even Darryl Hannah's character Elle Driver, a.k.a. California Mountain Snake, has sporadic on-screen scenes but they were spread out throughout both movies and were really detailed about who she was. The same did not hold true for Copperhead.
