Wandering around killing people? Bill's brother in the trailer... she was wandering around to kill him? Killing her one-eyed colleague in the trailer... wandering around to kill her?
You don't mention her brilliant escape from the grave, either.
Nor do you mention the shocking surprise of her daughter.
Bill's reason is perfect, and it's about the oldest motive in the book: jealousy driven revenge.
Re: the sword. There was plenty of discussion about it and probably a half an hour of the film discussing it, showing her with its creator, etc. Any more would have been the bore of the century (maybe even for Vic).
I can understand not liking it but not for the reasons you mention.
You seem to be exasperated it wasn't must more of KBI: that's the brilliance of Tarantino. He made a very different second piece, though it beautifully ties into the first.
Like I said, a perfect modern Western.
