    Blog: Whole Bloody Affair musings

    Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair was basically an unseen cinematic legend, only shown a few times at Quentin Tarantino’s personal theatre, until the entire four-and-a-half-hour version was released a few weeks ago. It is basically just like the two volumes back-to-back but with some new flourishes. But the best thing about seeing it as…

Mostly because a few of these versions (Unlimited and Spectacular) are in Across the Spider-Verse and with an infinite multiverse everything is canon, even if they don’t appear.…
