      According to the actor who played Marvin him and Travolta read the script and they saw that originally they to kill marvin in cold blood but Travolta went to Tarantino and was like "I can't kill him he's a nice guy" one rewrite later and the rest they say is history

      I have a dog named marvin.
      This scene runs through my head rather often, as a result.
      A marvin is also a musical instrument designed for foley work in horror movies. There's a mega-marvin and an ultra-mega-marvin.
      And, of course, marvin the paranoid android from hitchhiker's guide.
      Marvin the martian.
      What I'm saying is being a marvin isn't always about getting shot in the face. 😂

    Not to mention that Marvin's death tees up the rest of the movie's theme, when looked at in the chronological sense. Jules sees this and everything that follows as a sign to not only leave the life, but help guide the lost back home, where Vincent sees this as nothing more than a series of unfortunate events that no one could've predicted.
    At least, that's my take on it.

      They did something similar in one of the LEGO Marvel games, the line came from Sandman.
      “I’m melting, I’m melting! Wait, I’M SOLIDIFYING!” or something like that. My older brother brought it up.

    Waaait a second!! Is it because of RUclips or is Damian Cockburn really just *poof* away in the US version of the movie?! Here in Germany you get to see him blow up in a red cloud of blood AND his pieces falling down (like it does here)

    The most important and I have to think accidental death in Starship Troopers is Robert Heinlein's brilliant novel, a futuristic classic of science fiction which my disabled Vietnam vet father told me it was the most realistic novel about combat he'd ever read!!! I'm a child of Agent Orange and generations of career enlisted who because of Uncle Sam's need for a large number of contract killers in the 20th century meant my family left the ranks of the impoverished and I got to go to college--something no one in the family had the resources to do in previous generations. My maternal grandfather's family had been subsistence farming and proving why Tennessee is called the "Volunteer State" coming out of the mountains for every major tilt the country had, American Revolution onward, including wearing Union Blue because they understood the expanding voting rights of Jacksonian democracy would be gone if those plantation fruckers with the rich lands and lots of slaves to do their work were able to impose their will and property requirements on those trying to scratch out livings in those mountains' rocky tops. My grandfather slogged the Pacific as a teenage Marine flamethrower, joined the Tennessee militia for extra cash trying to support a widowed mother and 3 sisters along with a wife and the 2 daughters he contributed to the baby boom, which is how he found himself in the Army now for Korea. The soldiers in his unit got lucky he lost his argument they could send him back to war if need be but that he was a Marine so had to go with them. They kept having issues with officers, which is how he found himself watching one day as they threw unit after unit at a tall hill, feeling it in his gut they were going to one of those hurled at it when the others weren't getting anywhere. He was right. So, he found himself with a radio set in each ear, being threatened with court martial for the friendly fire incident they thought he was about to cause if he got it wrong while he barked into the other the firm directions and coordinates he'd given in calling in air support to drop EXACTLY like he'd requested. The air strike obliterated the nest tucked in behind the little patch of outcropping rock, and they walked up that hill with no casualties from friendly or enemy fire. He was effectively left in charge for the last 2 months, and when a CO heard him complaining about not getting the same job back when he came home doing what was supposed to be separation paperwork, he was convinced to stay a Marine in the Army as a drill sergeant with the kind of knowledge and skills that might keep others alive. He said a decade later he knew he was ready for a new role when he wasn't enjoying as much anymore those live-fire training days low crawling along with the boots and collecting the loose change and lost treasures they left as they scrambled along! Being the sickly outlier in an usually athletic family left me a quiet gifted kid frequently in some cozy nook with a book and thus easy to overlook, so they didn't know I heard the discussions combat vets generally have with few people outside other combat vets. Right after I got notified I'd earned my undergraduate scholarship, I watched the premiere of a spring replacement show called Quantum Leap with my parents; I was STUNNED when the credit sequence flashed a picture of a medic in Vietnam used as one of the most iconic Life covers from the conflict elicited the knowledge that my father was shown injured the first of two times IN the magazine! I thought about all the stories I'd already heard more than what most people do and yet STILL knew so little even about what happened to my father during the war and how those effects rippled out. I decided to major in history--specifically oral, military, and presidential history. I was in grad school when Starship Troopers came out, and I was beyond excited...and then saw it; that whole thing was a training wreck thanks to writers who should've been fired with withering force!!! They lost the nuance in Starship Troopers and the complexities of war, military service, duties of citizens, and integrity of government to turn it into high camp--HORRIBLE!!! I hope someone else gives it a proper treatment someday!
