I know I'm late to the game on this one, I saw part I years ago and it was just okay so I never watched part II until now. Actually I mostly just saw the last half.

That's some pretty misandrist shit there at the end. Kiddo is a killer, working for her lover who is a killer and a "murdering bastard." She discovers she is pregnant, and decides to skip town, and never tell him he's a father.

He says "that wasn't your decision" and she says "but it was the right decision." Why? Well, because he was a murdering bastard and she didn't want her child to grow up in that environment. Well hell, I sure wouldn't either... except... SHE was just as cruel and vicious a killer as he was!

At this point she has already admitted that she enjoyed all of the killing she has done in the two movies up until now. So where does she get any moral high ground?

Well, because she realized that was no way to raise a child and she quit the life of assassination.

But... Bill did too! After murdering the wedding party and almost killed Kiddo, he discovers the child is actually his. And what then? He raises her for four years in a nice home and is apparently a loving and devoted father. Holy crap! You mean, if Kiddo was able to change for the sake of her child, Bill could too? And in fact, did?

But she never gave him the chance. And at the end of the film, she kills the only parent her daughter had ever known. She was there to get revenge, and even finding her daughter alive and well-cared-for was going to do nothing to stop it.

And it wasn't out of some sense of justice like Bill was Evil and had to be taken down... she was just as evil. And she didn't really care about any of those people in the church. No, Bill betrayed her and had to die... even though she betrayed him first.

No thought is given to how her daughter will react upon being taken from her father and never seeing him again, ever. Bill could have killed her any time while she was in a coma, and chose not to, because he was trying to change, perhaps. He could have killed her when it was clear she entertained no thought of detente.

Now, I am not on Bill's side here... he really is a murdering bastard and deserves to die, as Budd said, but (as Budd also said) so does she.

But the film casts her as the protagonist and gives her a happy ending.

Ultimately, however, the entire events of the film are the result of a woman deciding that, even though she can change from a killer to a loving parent, her man cannot, and so she must leave without a word, letting him think she is dead, so she can raise his child without him, ever.

The sad thing is, the entire movie could have been kept exactly the same if they had just given Bill a couple of lines to that effect.

He could have said, "After Bibi was born, I changed. I'm a loving father. That's what you were trying to do, right? Change your life for her sake. It turns out I was capable of that too. I wonder how things would have gone, if you'd bothered to give me the same chance you gave yourself."
