Anyone else reminded of Pirates of the Caribbean? (Spoilers)


The way that El Karim is killed is very similar to the way Captain Barbossa meets his fate. In both cases, a villain cannot die because of a supernatural immunity. One character "fatally" wounds him, then another character revokes his immunity to death.

In the case of El Karim, he's stabbed and then his external heart is destroyed. Once the heart is destroyed, he starts bleeding from the stab wound and dies.

In the case of Captain Barbossa, he's shot and then his ghostly curse is lifted from him. Afterward, his body registers that he's been shot and he dies.

It could be a coincidence, but I wouldn't be too surprised if it wasn't.
