Sean Bean Death Reel

See Sean Bean die 21 times. I haven't seen all of these movies, but no doubt he was misunderstood in each one and didn't deserve to die. WARNING: This video does contain some graphic scenes.



For example, take a look at the Alec Trevelyan death scene from Goldeneye near the end of this video. James Bond callously drops Trevelyan to his death.

"For England, James?" Bean asks.

"No, for me." Responds Bond, who then drops Trevelyan.

How can Bond justify killing Bean when (1) Bond is the one who initially betrayed Bean by failing to set the timer for the 6 minutes as Bean (Trevelyan) requested, and (2) Bean (Trevelyan) always gave Bond an opportunity to use his skills to escape death.

You might argue that Bond was able to escape death so many times because of simple incompetence. I'd disagree. Here's why. Off the top of my head, I can think of multiple times where Sean Bean could have simply killed Bond, but instead put him in situations where he could easily escape. There's the helicopter scene in the statue park, and the train scene where Bean graciously leaves three minutes on the bomb timer so Bond can have a chance to escape. Then we have all the times where Bean simply held Bond hostage, rather than just shoot him in the face.

To me, this strikes me as a guy who simply couldn't kill his friend. Bean may have wanted to, but the goodness in his heart simply wouldn't let him. THAT is why he devised all these easily escapable situations.

Bond, should have done the same for his old friend. A true hero would have saved his friend (or former friend), rather than drop him to his death.
