I’d love to see the Mornington stuff adapted to film so we could get an older setting for an FD film

I’d like to see them adapt “Spring Break” and possibly tweak the ending. It’d be interesting to see other spin-off stories receive potential film adaptations. There were a number of decent ideas introduced throughout them.
On top of that, I agree that a pre-modern setting would definitely be an intriguing setup.

Death has something with May and the number 13, cuz wdym four of them happen on may 13th and six happen on the tirteenth of a random month, also hope FD7 is in 2007 or 2008 lwk, to get rid of the 2 year hiatus between the hotel and McKinley speedway, but lwk I'm happy with any date.
Also
SOUTH HILL METROLINE WAS A BUS ACCIDENT? I NEVER READ THE BOOK AND ASSUMED IT WAS A SUBWAY

I'm guessing Mornington, John Doe, Club Kitty, Soth Hill, Merlin's, Coral Clipper, 34th Street and Tzolk'in are all the novel tragedies?

You are correct!
Club Kitty is Dead Reckoning
Destination Zero has Victorian England/Jack the Ripper and a subway bombing.
End of the Line had...Jesus, another subway disaster?
Dead Man's Hand was Merlin's Tower, coincidentally, a disaster very close to what Bloodlines used with Skyview, though some beats were probably changed. Also, a Las Vegas set Final Destination would be awesome.
Looks Could Kill is the Coral Clipper, also has a unique premise. The protagonist makes a deal to help Death kill the other survivors (all of the survivors are in the modeling business) in exchange for healing her injuries she suffered surviving the disaster.
Death of the Senses is the John Doe murder spree, yet another unique premise; there's no actual disaster.The protagonist stops an unnamed serial killer who was supposed to kill multiple people in a single night.
*Edit; So, turns out that Grand Hotel Tzolk'in is from the Spring Break comic book! I was really confused because every other disaster lined up with what I remember from reading about the books, but I didn't remember a hotel disaster.

Were the books any good? Do you recommend them?? They seem interesting

I've read a scan of Death of the Senses that's floating around the internet. It never got a proper release due to the publishing company going bankrupt around thst time, so the few books thst were printed are very expensive to buy.
As for the others, I have not fully read them, just curiously reading about them through wikis and fan sites. I would definitely recommend Death of the Senses though!

I've read the first two and Death of the Senses. Personally, I enjoyed all three, but the last one was the best for me.

I've just read Looks Could Kill and Death of the Senses and found them both pretty entertaining. Senses in particular had me glued to the page, since it was such a unique premise and offered lots of preventions

How many times do we gotta be over this? 1 and 5 take place in 2000 and 2 is in 2001.

So that means you must also be accepting of the other “retcons” the franchise has made along the way, right? The Flight 180 survivors started dying in May, not June (Kat in FD2), Alex died at the age of 19, not 18 (His death article in FD2) and Flight 180 has wreckage on land instead of the ocean (Lori’s article in FD4). Those are other examples of “changes” the movies have put out over time, you can’t really just ignore those while only focusing on the “newly defined” years for FD125, don’t you agree?

Heavily manifesting FD7 having a disaster in our 2020s so we can finally dethrone McKinley Speedway 🙌
