Marvin, the Paranoid Android, does not actually die in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series. He is a character known for his depression and immense intelligence, which often leads him to feel bored and unappreciated. Despite his constant complaints and gloomy demeanor, Marvin survives throughout the series, including the books, radio plays, and the 2005 movie adaptation.
Marvin’s longevity is a running joke in the series, as he often expresses a desire to cease functioning due to his unhappiness. However, his advanced design and durability ensure that he continues to exist, much to his own dismay. In the end, Marvin’s fate is left open, but he remains one of the most memorable and enduring characters in the series.
