Maybe he just decided not to choose a side.
well as...
they said they didn't even have a body to bury, I was under the assumption that he may have evolved into a being of energy (like he did in his first appearance in the comics) in order to withstand the blast... I wouldn't rule him out of sequels entirely.
Yeah, they really needed some kind of sacrifice or a bit of a martyr to raise the stakes a bit. I was kinda surprised how the movie, set in the early 60's, did not hint much at all about any kind of racial tension between some of the characters. Most of the prejudice shown on the movie was gender-related with maybe a possible hint of sexuality.

Sebastian Shaw did say "if you're not with us, you're against us"
And thats the point. Darwin was against and fought Sebastian Shaw and he had to suffer the consequences.
Darwin just shouldn't have been in the film. Period. The only reason he was in the film was to die, but that death was so weak it didn't actually server any purpose at all. The reaction afterwards was better related to the fact Angel had left with Shaw rather than the fact a teammate had exploded before their eyes.
You could remove Darwin from the movie without it making a difference, so they should have just left him out.
I don't think it did.Nah, that scene itself may have seemed weak to you, but the consequences and the effects of it still drove a huge turning point in the movie.
Why was Darwin in this film again? What a waste.
And how was he not able to evolve against that? It even looked like he was able to until he exploded. Then the next scene they were like "he's dead" and they didn't bring it up again. Really took the film down several notes down for me. If you're going to have a character, do something with him besides having him die. And if you're going to go with the logic "someone has to go", at least give him a point in being in the film before you do it.
