I’d also like to point out that shooting Villanelle multiple more times in the water defies the laws of physics.
In case you’re wondering, Mythbusters tested how “bulletproof” water is in one episode.
Bullets lose their velocity and therefore their impact when they hit water. A bullet works extra hard against the drag of the current which means there would only be impact up to about 3-4 feet in the water.
When Villanelle and Eve threw themselves off the boat, it’s made clear they’re already deep in the water and sinking. So Villanelle is way out of range of the bullets.
The Thames is also a swiftly flowing river, which means lots of drag. Furthermore, there is an exact angle of 30 degrees that the firearm must be angled at in order for the bullets to even pierce the water.
Then the gun itself would have to be extra powerful, like a machine gun. Of course, a sniper rifle would have a lot of punch and it would also depend on the caliber of bullets used.
But there is no way it was angled at exactly 30 degrees from Tower Bridge. Plus precisely because it’s a sniper rifle, the distance doesn’t help-because distance increases drag in the water.
On top of this, the speed of the shots that Villanelle is hit with makes no sense. Because of physics, combined with the density and depth of water, the faster a bullet goes, the more resistance there is.
In other words, the bullets would literally be so slow by the time they’re fired at Villanelle that there wouldn’t even be impact.
So not only did Villanelle absolutely not need to die, but this entire scenario is so unprofessional and implausible that it doesn’t even pass basic suspension of disbelief.
