In revenge movies, the hero is usually a guy. Think about Kill Bill compared with John Wick, Taken, or A History of Violence, in which men dominate the story and action. Getting revenge, taking justice into your own hands, and using force are framed as male power moves, while women are often pushed to the sidelines or boxed into stereotypes. But in Kill Bill, the Bride is not an accessory to the story. She is the story. She drives every scene, owns every fight, and ends up standing unmatched.
