My favorite ending. V enters true legend status, the one capable of the impossible, only because every moment from this point forward, is at the intensity of his final flourish. He has accepted his end, and there is no fear left, only rage. His indomitable will sees him through the most impossible of odds to the nth degree because he’s angrier and he wants it more than you
