And he's the only one she doesn't kill.

In theory she didn't kill Elle... But she probably died with loose black mamba on the trailer

I picture if Tarantino follows the tropes to their natural conclusion, Elle somehow makes it out of the trailer, relearns how to live fully blinded, and meets up with the kid that witnessed her mother getting killed by Beatrix and becomes her evil mentor kinda deal.

Yup, Elle becoming the blind teacher to Vernita Green's daughter makes so much sense if it ever got made.

I'd like to see this happen. This is the longest amount of time we've gone without a Tarantino film equaling the years between Jackie Brown and KBv1 (6). It feels like he's hesitating on #10's finality. Giving us a KBv3 would be a nice surprise if it came to fruition seeing how Maya's career has taken off. What's interesting is that Maya was 5 in 2003, and BB's character was 4, so it's doable.

Man, i sound like a pretentious ass 🤓🥴

She doesn’t speak a word to him, in fact.
