Why did Weevil go back to his previous life?
In Veronica Mars the movie, why did Weevil go back to his previous life of crime?
I am referring to one of the last scenes of the movie: Veronica looks out from a window and sees Weevil dressed like a biker with his old gang.
Best Answer
Alan Sepinwall feels this is part of a theme in the movie:
Veronica isn't the only one who gets sucked back into old patterns. Getting shot and having to clear his name puts Weevil back on a bike for the first time since his daughter was born, and with the rest of the PCHers for the first time since high school. And though Wallace is being a responsible grown-up (for now), Mac is once again doing Veronica's hacker bidding.
In the comments there is more discussion about Weevil's change:
Veronica told him that some "stoolie" was claiming he personally sold the gun to Weevil, presumably because the sheriff's department was forcing him to. Veronica said "He clearly fears the police more than he fears you." Than Weevil said "Yeah, well. We'll see what we can do about that." So like Alan said, he's back to being a gangster in order to clear his name.
Of course, the real reason is that this allows for potential story-lines in a sequel movie/book/comic.

Weevil not being a love interest for Veronica gave him the ability to be more than just a point on a love triangle. Instead, he provided a world view of Neptune that few other characters could give us insight into.What happens Weevil?
Weevil started off as a leader of Neptune's PCH gang, eventually retiring from this life after finding work in season three and starting a family in the movie. In the film, he gets shot by Celeste Kane when he tries to help her during a biker gang attack.Is Weevil in Season 4 of Veronica Mars?
Though Weevil did appear in Season 4, his role was much smaller than before, and the animosity between him and Veronica was at the forefront. His rare moments of screen time mostly involved being berated by Veronica for taking the settlement and returning to gang life.Who does Keith Mars end up with?
Though she's wary of commitment and at times seems wistful for the volatile bad boy Logan of old, Veronica realizes by the season finale just how much she loves him, and the two marry in a low-key, intimate ceremony as a proud Keith Mars (Enrico Colantoni) looks on.

Answer 2
The only explanation i know for that comes from the scene where Veronica talks about the guy testifying that he sold Weevil the gun, and how he's afraid from the sheriff more than Weevil, and he responded with something like "that's gonna change" implying that he's going back to his old gang so he can prove his innocence and fight back. (Also I think it's interesting that he find himself returning to his old life the same way as Veronica)
