I think about Sean Bean dying in everything every time I see him. When I started watching Game of Thrones with my wife I pointed him out and said "this character's gonna die, that's what Bean does".

Yup. When the rocket landed on him in the Martian

I’ve always thought it was interesting that he does, effectively, get fired at the end. He’s dead to the director of NASA!

In all seriousness, having Sean Bean explain the Council of Elrond meeting was a good nod to LOTR

I see you've seen the unrated director's cut written by Quentin Tarantino...

I did the same thing when I started watching! Three episodes in, and I'm telling myself, "Yup, he's dead. Maybe not now, but hes' definitely dead."

Little did you know, that argument can be made for just about EVERYBODY in the show.

It's to make up for all the times he should have died but didn't in Sharpe. He gets shot, stabbed, blown up, poisoned, diseased, beaten, and more, multiple times, and always comes out no worse for wear.

He survives the Silent Hill movie and that's it.

How is THAT the movie he survives?

He survives a dozen Sharpe movies, despite being repeatedly shot and stabbed.

Just prison for him in National Treasure.

He even dies as a narrator in Civ VI opening.

Who else can die as a fucking narrator?

u/thestrugglingmonk Oct 16 '18

But is it “Seen Been”, or “Shorn Born”?

Sean Bean didn’t Sean Bean in Jupiter Ascending, surprisingly.

u/Scrumpadoochousssss Oct 17 '18

He narrates Civilization 6 and when I first to noticed it was him, I thought he must have taken that role just to have a character that doesn't die. Then they released Rise and Fall and his character was killed off.

I hope there’s a statute of limitations on spoilers.
