That was mentioned before when I complained about the movie at its release. If so, that contributes to my opinion that it was a poor film as there was no need to release any significant tension as none had been built until the beginning of that final scene. Everything before was so disconnected and compartmentalized that I felt it had no weight. The scene was so independent from the rest of the film that it didn't fit.
I wasn't a big fan of the ultraviolent endings of Inglourious Basterds or Django Unchained either, but they at least served the story in the ways you mentioned. A cohesiveness that was lacking in Once Upon a Time.
Look, I'm glad people enjoyed it. I'm a Tarantino fan, so any success he receives I hope encourages him to make more art. However, I firmly place this as the worst of his films and haven't recommended it to anyone I know.
