Well, he does work for an organization which requires you to wear sci-fi eyeglasses that average 300k GBP. Being so mindful of them (and the suit) should come with the territory.
All these years later and this still holds up as a top-5 death scene from any movie, tv-show or book for me. Such great acting, such beautiful writing and such a sublime voice
The Merlin character was always a big John Denver fan. He was especially excited when he found out they would be going to Kentucky at the beginning of the movie. Good way to send off an important character in a movie.
I am from the bluegrass state and watching this video makes me tear up big time John Denver would be proud that his song is this popular with everyone around the world
It wasn’t the death itself that got me. It was Eggsy holding his tears back while giving a respectful nod and a smile, then Merlin giving a nod of respect too.
For me it was the instant taking Eggsy’s place, not even a thought about it, and doing so how he did because he knew Eggsy wouldn’t let him if he knew.
Those last nods goodbye before it was over were the most heart wrenching parts. My man knew what had to be done. A salute to the fallen before we bow last.

Eleriin Koort He’s also the vessel for the viewer because he’s the more simple man in the kingsman, and when he dies we see a character that we relate to die. You could say eggsy problems were relatable which they were, but eggsy is a insanely trained British spy, Merlin is just a dude. He’s not good at fighting he’s just got a pure heart which makes him lovable as hell.
Ive watched countless movies in my life but none have made me feel what this scene did, To elevate merlins character in this manner was the greatest decision the studio ever made thank you for giving us a timeless scene.
😭😭😭😭 ur comment made every atom in my body break down in tears, that phrase, "manners maketh man" since Kingsman has taken a whole new meaning for me 😭😭
The moment from 02:05 to 02:10 , when Merlin was deciding how he was going to spend his last moments alive😢. Then decides to sing this song.. What a masterpiece of a scene❤❤❤❤
@Afie Netfix the parentheses you added were completely unnecessary. (Just saying) Also it would be much appreciated if someone linked a Scottish man singing this song.
Like Merlin pushed ‘em both away but both of them landed their feet on another land mine. I don’t even know how the director can redeem himself from that lol
Yano what I like most about this scene? The fact that at the very end Merlin walks forward off the landmine not backwards. It might not seem like it matters, but it shows he truly wasn't afraid to die, and was ready to go head held high, never retreating and never backing down. While it is just a movie, it's still a beautiful nod to true comradeship.
Imagine him stepping forward protected the guys from the blast and at least one of them survived. And at the end of the fight scene that comes after this he kills the other two.
Now that's a hero's sacrifice if I've ever seen one but what makes it even better is it's a hero's sacrifice that was a Scotish badass who sung country roads
I shed a tear during Merlin's sacrifice. Not just because he was a good character, it's because he knew the risk and took it anyway because he knew it was the right thing to do in that situation. Merlin was not just a nobody... He Was A Somebody... That somebody had a name, and his name was Merlin. He didn't die like a kingsman, he died as a fricking hero, and not only that, he went out on a high note. What a legend.
@@tomradcliff6859 For me it was the music. It made it too personal for the character of Merlin. It was a pretty neat scene already. He knew what he was doing, he knew what was truly important.

Who else would LOVE to hear Mark Strong (Merlin) do a full rendition of this song? I know I would.. with his Scottish accent (he's not Scottish!) RIP Merlin 🙏 Most epic death scene EVER ❤️
Hgmuji Huj de they are in a jungle ... the must be a rock or something around to put the weight on it... it’s so awful and I always feel cheated when it happens in movies
Cried? We all knew what was coming. It took me two years to watch this scene. I would always fast forward through this. When I finally could watch the scene, I cried, and still do. RIP Mir 🫡
Looking back,this is such a great callback to the very first scene of Kingsman:The Secret Service when Eggsy's dad jumped on the grenade to save their lives. They couldn't save the father so they made sure to save the son.
as the whole of Kingsman, this is over the top, and it's meant to be over the top, it's very satirical of sequences in film only meant to make people cry, like this is just meant to be ridiculous
Something incredibly beautiful about a British character singing an American artist's song who's ancestry is from Germany. All being shared by a Korean. Art transcends catagory.
I remember a few years back this movie randomly came on the tv and I decided to stay and watch and when this scene came on, god damn. Everything about this scene is done so perfectly from a cinematography standpoint that I can’t help but come back and watch it every now and again
I had chills and a tear in my eye watching that scene for the first time. The kingsman movies are brilliant. Such a fine melange of comedy, kick ass over the top action and emotional scenes like these. The characters grow dear to you which this scene has shown me in particular. I really hope for another sequel. But i really hope merlins death is final. You cant leave any better than thaz.
Say what you will about this movie, Merlin's death here will go down as one of the most memorable deaths in cinema history. It never fails to give me chills.
Reminds me of a poem I heard in the movie Act of Valor, and which I want at my funeral. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. -Chief Tecumseh
0:47 - That click that begins the most heartbreaking 3 minutes of the movie, where you know exactly what's going to happen...and that there's nothing anyone can do about it. But _God_ he went out gloriously.
Man, 2:04 to 2:12 where Merlin is by himself and thinking, like he’s coming to grips with the situation, but wants to hear his favorite song one more time. No words. Powerful emotion.
Watching Titanic; Girls: Awwww he has tear in his eye! He does have feelings! Men: Singing sliently in their head in Scottish accent "Country Road, take me home.................................."
Almost heaven, West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River Life is old there, older than the trees Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads All my memories gather round her Miner's lady, stranger to blue water Dark and dusty, painted on the sky Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads I hear her voice, in the morning hour she calls me The radio reminds me of my home far away And driving down the road I get a feeling That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads Take me home, down country roads Take me home, down country roads
@@tavellclinton9256 In the original, the producers had him come back with a prosthetic leg but test viewers thought that was tacky so they cut that scene
MrMuffinman I think it stings more because Merlin is just A dude, he’s not a *EXTREME TACTICAL FIGHTER* like eggsy he was just brought into the kingsmen because some other dude died years ago. And he’s easily the vessel in which the viewer can relate to. Sure we relate to mostly eggsys struggles but Eggsy is far to skilled to be close to a vessel for the viewer while Merlin, likes country roads, is a cool dude, and is freaking merlin
2:26 Almost heaven, West Virginia BlueRidgeMountains,Shenandoah River Life is old there, older than the trees Younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads
It’s actually upsetting me that people are throwing this on random ass TikToks that are unrelated. Merlins death was legendary and its kind of like they’re trying to ruin it
"Are you expecting another lawyer? There's a guy here, singing" Before becoming an actor, Mark Strong wanted to become a lawyer, and back in his college days he used to be the lead singer of a punk rock band.
This scene is probably one of the best character deaths in cinema history. From the goodbye speech to the sacrifice to save his team to the singing his favorite song, throwing the machete to present no real danger to guys with guns and luring those guys in to insure the maximum number of kills. Absolutely spectacular! So well done!🎉

Looking back,this is such a great callback to the very first scene of Kingsman:The Secret Service when Eggsy's dad jumped on the grenade to save their lives.
They couldn't save the father so they made sure to save the son.
1:06
@@bisher69 right? The reference I'm the scene is very clear. Lol
Merlin also sang this song when he and Eggsy shared a moment while drinking at the beginning. Great follow up and best death in a movie
2things.
1. Beautiful singing voice.
2. Never seen kingsman but that scene still hit my feels.
Same
If you have seen the movie, it would have hit everything of you

Its called a Scottish accent
I broke into tears even though I barely remember Kingsman.
I didn't expect this movie to hit so hard in the feels all of a sudden.
And I certainly did not expect to have such a voice.
This is like the best and the worst part of the movie.
Hell yeah
It's so cringy and so bad, but at the same time, emotional...
Whiskey fixing wagons was better
Bence Illes no its not bad because its cringe wtf is wrong with you. What he meant ist bad because merlin fucking dies...
as the whole of Kingsman, this is over the top, and it's meant to be over the top, it's very satirical of sequences in film only meant to make people cry, like this is just meant to be ridiculous
*Gets text from FBI*
We see that you’re crying, but it’s okay, we are too.

Something incredibly beautiful about a British character singing an American artist's song who's ancestry is from Germany. All being shared by a Korean. Art transcends catagory.
Patrick Perlas Scottish character
Alex the man Scotland is part of Great Britain
Pardon my ignorance, I'm American, so it's hard for my ears to pick particular U.K. accents.
Patrick Perlas it’s cool mate I mix Americans up with Canadians all the time😂

I remember a few years back this movie randomly came on the tv and I decided to stay and watch and when this scene came on, god damn. Everything about this scene is done so perfectly from a cinematography standpoint that I can’t help but come back and watch it every now and again
I’ve never seen these movies but I’ve learned two things from them:
1 rip Merlin
2 manners maketh a man
Everything might be about self-mastering
*manners maketh man
Dude watch them
The movies make me think of my old home so they have a special place in my heart
*I MADE THE LIKES 666 bwahahahahahah!!!*
His last words were take me home, country roads
And in the end he let the country roads take him home
Darth Duck he sure did
The big sad
We have the same profile pic
I’m not crying.....it’s just the dust from the explosion....
And the spray of blood from Merlin.
I’m having trouble on whether to hate you guys or love you guys
But the dust from Spider-Man is hurting my eyes too
I can hear you guys crying😭
Take me home!
Pretty sure is a part of Spider Man in your eye
I had chills and a tear in my eye watching that scene for the first time. The kingsman movies are brilliant. Such a fine melange of comedy, kick ass over the top action and emotional scenes like these. The characters grow dear to you which this scene has shown me in particular. I really hope for another sequel. But i really hope merlins death is final. You cant leave any better than thaz.
This makes me miss West Virginia but I've never left Nigeria
Hi, I’m from West Virginia.
i’m from nigeria too🇳🇬 how far
Copy and paste is fun! Yeah!
That's a real thing, bruh.
I'm from India..
Say what you will about this movie, Merlin's death here will go down as one of the most memorable deaths in cinema history.
It never fails to give me chills.
Speeeedwagon
This movie was great, I love the kingsmen franchise
You only speaking facts here
Hyperbole
I haven't even watched this movie, but this scene makes me cry every single time I watch it.

FFFFFFFFFF... um I broke the button
I watched this when I was 7 or 8 and I cried so hard. This was beautiful when he was singing.
He went like a man. Singing in the face of death
*Salute* 😭
Beer van Buuren Like a true Gailic. TO VALHALLA WIT YE
Why you gotta hurt me and remind me bro
Beer van Buuren i loved merlin and this made me love him more
*salute to a true hero
Reminds me of a poem I heard in the movie Act of Valor, and which I want at my funeral.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

0:47 - That click that begins the most heartbreaking 3 minutes of the movie, where you know exactly what's going to happen...and that there's nothing anyone can do about it.
But _God_ he went out gloriously.
Y'know he could've just stood there for the whole battle and they could get him out after.
@@Thomas_H._Smith they needed to lure the guards one way or another he was going to die.
T-T why me cry
He should of just not step on it and stay with them kill the guards and bam they all live
Clip not click
It’s permissible for a man to cry when:
His mom dies
His dog dies
He retires from professional sports
He watches this scene
Retires from sports? Jeez that’s a random one
I’d say a few more:
The ending of Green Mile
His friend dies
The ending of RDR2 (specifically the good ending)
What about when his children are born, getting married or if they unfortunately die? What if his dad dies? His grandparents and other family?
don't forget the ending to green mile and avengers endgame
Ending to MGS 3 as well.
Man, 2:04 to 2:12 where Merlin is by himself and thinking, like he’s coming to grips with the situation, but wants to hear his favorite song one more time. No words. Powerful emotion.
Exactly my thoughts. 😢
Girls: I can't believe he didn't cry in titanic, do men even have feelings?
Men:
no this is where Gentleman cry
i shall honor the 69 likes ( Nice )
Watching Titanic;
Girls: Awwww he has tear in his eye! He does have feelings!
Men: Singing sliently in their head in Scottish accent "Country Road, take me home.................................."

He's officially my favourite guy in anything I've seen...
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice, in the morning hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, down country roads
Take me home, down country roads
No one:
Not even a single soul:
Legends: *crying*
So sad. Did he have to perish? I wish Harry and Eggsy deactivated all mines.
@@tavellclinton9256 In the original, the producers had him come back with a prosthetic leg but test viewers thought that was tacky so they cut that scene
MrMuffinman what u on about he’s in the second one there’s only 2 kingsman movies and this is the sequel?
MrMuffinman
I think it stings more because Merlin is just A dude, he’s not a *EXTREME TACTICAL FIGHTER* like eggsy he was just brought into the kingsmen because some other dude died years ago. And he’s easily the vessel in which the viewer can relate to.
Sure we relate to mostly eggsys struggles but Eggsy is far to skilled to be close to a vessel for the viewer while Merlin, likes country roads, is a cool dude, and is freaking merlin
Who knows somewhere I can watch this pleasee
2:26

This scene haunts me to this day cause losing Merlin in this way at this time is just absolutely heartbreaking in every way.. RIP you glorious sob
And then he got replaced by that shola guy in the third
@@douglasmitchum1488 tecnically storywise mark strongs merlin replaced shola because that movie was a prequel meaning shola was the first merlin
That scene is completely wrong. All mines are exploding when you step on it.
@@bourneethan3190 so?? Theres more stuff wrong in this movie like an umbrella as a shield and a underwater car
Cmon guys can we just mourn merlin idgaf about any of the other bs
It’s actually upsetting me that people are throwing this on random ass TikToks that are unrelated. Merlins death was legendary and its kind of like they’re trying to ruin it
TikTok is cringe.
it's*

So right bro I like the TH-cam community they are the best
@@yes-dv4kf "TikTok, it is cringe" sounds good to me
"Are you expecting another lawyer? There's a guy here, singing"
Before becoming an actor, Mark Strong wanted to become a lawyer, and back in his college days he used to be the lead singer of a punk rock band.
No offence but it’s obvious that Mark needed heavy auto-tuning to sound decent, so I doubt he was the singer of anything. Love the guy, though.
@@EPrimeify key word here is *punk* band. Bad singing is NOT a disqualifier.
@@tangent94 yeah he probably sang punk rock which had more lower vocals with some other stuff so his voice ain't the best for country songs
Alec Baldwin originally wanted to be lawyer.
No, Poppy has actually a lawyer who looks like Merlin.
This scene is probably one of the best character deaths in cinema history. From the goodbye speech to the sacrifice to save his team to the singing his favorite song, throwing the machete to present no real danger to guys with guns and luring those guys in to insure the maximum number of kills. Absolutely spectacular! So well done!🎉
