10 More Happy Movie Endings That Ignored One Devastating Thing

The Kill Bill movies very firmly establish the fact that The Bride (Beatrix) is the good guy who we are supposed to care about and Bill and the Deadly Vipers are the baddies who we should jeer at. We're pretty much told to celebrate their deaths, in fact, while trumpeting The Bride's badassness.

This is all very crucial to the plot, even though she was once one of the killers herself, as her revenge, which eventually comes when she kills Bill with the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique right at the end after discovering the child she thought she'd lost was born and is alive under Bill's care. They depart for a life of happiness together.

But Wait...

Now, most people talk about the implication of Nikki Bell - Vernita's four-year-old daughter - growing up with a burning need for vengeance herself. The Bride even anticipates her coming after her in future. But that's not the biggest issue here.

More concerning is the fact that while Beatrix gets her happy ending, her daughter - BB - has her world turned upside down. She watched the only parent she's ever known killed off by a relative stranger and is uprooted to go and live a life in the unknown with a mother she doesn't know. It's not going to be an easy road for her.
