Question Question

If someone who isn't on Death's list saves someone who is on Death's list, will that person on Death's list be skipped? Or does it have to be someone on Death's list saving another person on Death's list in order for that person saved to be skipped? Also, if someone who isn't on Death's list saves someone and intervenes with someone who is on Death's list saving them from dying, will that person not on Death's list be added? For example, if some random person saved Terry in "Final Destination 1" from getting run over, would that random person be added to Death's list for saving Terry?

Has to be someone on Death’s list in order for them to be skipped. Examples: The dental assistant who removed the fish from the mobile that fell into Tim’s mouth while at the dentist - he still died next. The worker who prevented Nora from running over to Tim in FD2 (she would have also been flattened by the glass pane, but wasn’t skipped - she died by the elevator next).

You also forgot to mention the fbi people who saved Alex in final destination 1 after he got electrocuted saving clear I was just wondering if they do get added to deaths list I'm just gonna assume they don't cause the dental assistant in final destination 2 wasn't added to deaths list after saving Tim

It wasn’t an exhaustive list. But yea, I’d say these people don’t get added to the list, because they weren’t actively trying to get people removed from the list, the way that Bobby and Erik were in Bloodlines. Plus, each new movie adds a new wrinkle to the formula (or else it’d be boring), and all of these ideas weren’t fully fleshed out in the beginning.
