@Mrhellslayerz Pulp Fiction never showed us what was in the box because it was never important at all. Like, not even remotely. It was just a thing that existed to give the characters motivation for conflict. The entire movie is about the relationships between those characters. Same with V. His identity just is not at all important to the story. Rather it's the theme itself (that his identity doesn't matter) which is important. These are kind of false conflations, because the point of these stories is to tell you "hey, these things don't matter." They're not really mystery boxes -- or perhaps they are, but the reveal of the box is that the box is empty, or might as well be.
