Hellboy: Karl Ruprecht Kroenan (Ladislav Beran)

Comments for death : Hellboy: Karl Ruprecht Kroenan (Ladislav Beran).

Thank you for adding a favorite death of mine to the database and for improving my atrocious write-up as well!

Shouldn't this be Baddy (Major)?

EDIT: Oh wait, I'm confusing him with Rasuptin. We all have our moments. And I've double posted. Crud.

Kroenen is mis-spelt in the title of this death!

I don't this was actually a death, for one thing, Kroenen is already dead, and two, it is said that Kroenen might make an appearance in the possible sequel.

So were Dracula and Deacon Frost, technically. Besides I never thought Kroenen was "already dead," just so old he had to kept alive with mechanical parts and dark arts. It's never said he died and got resurrected.

So? Robert G. Durant returned in Darkman II, but nobody disputes how obviously he was supposed to be dead in the first movie. Kroenen appearing in Hellboy II will only affect the entry for his death in Hellboy insomuch as it will be put in the "Cheating Death" category or possibly the "Resurrection" category.

No - Kroenan is technically dead - he's so old his blood has turned to dust! He is merely a puppet controlled by Rasputin, hence Professor's line "that is the puppet, but where is the puppeteer?"

That's only one possible inferance of the line. The only other indication that Rasputin has more power over Kroenen than the average villain/henchman relationship is when Broom says "What horrible will could keep such a creature alive?" but the "horrible will" could be inferred to mean Kroenen himself keeps himself alive through sheer force of will.

And anyway, undead characters can still be killed. Thus, whether Kroenen is undead or simply very, very old, it doesn't matter. He's still impaled on spikes and crushed beneath a gigantic cogwheel, and therefore has a death scene.

Projectile for when Manning throws gears at Kroenan? (I know they don't cause pain, but it still counts)
