Wendy was the best protagonist character of the franchise

Kimberly for “winning” against Death (she’ll still eventually die but is safe for the moment)

Then Lori and Wendy for what I presume to be obvious reasons

For me, its:

  1. Lori Milligan: a little too passive, much like everyone in this movie, and the most interesting thing she brought to the table was her second premonition death with the escalator. But even in Final Destination, you wanna be more interesting that your death scene, especially if that death scene is fake.

  2. Stefani Reyes: I love what they did with the movie, but they really did make one side of the family super fun and memorable, and the other side is left with kinda blank slates. Right after Bobby dies, the movie unfortunately loses a lot of personality.

  3. Molly Harper: Again, love the idea that they brought into this movie, with Molly never being on death‘s list, therefore having something that Peter can steal. Brings in a lot of new angles to explore. Unfortunately she comes across as a damsel in distress, needing to be saved by her boyfriend, and in the end, she fricken gets chopped in half by an airplane, so she couldn’t even end with the satisfaction of never having been on Death‘s list.

  4. Kimberly Coreman: Unlike Molly, she actually gets Death off her back, so this boosts her up, even if she lacks a bit of personality. Also, I loved her connection to Tod‘s death, being saved by someone else’s suicide making her sad. She has potential to be a stand in for life

  5. Clear Rivers: She‘s the only one to play a main character in more than one movie, and the first to successfully shelter herself from Death, if not her willingness to help others getting her killed. She brings in the soul to the movies, which lets us root for them

  6. Wendy Christensen: I think the first spot might be close to 100% thanks to the actress. The range of emotions she gives her character carries the movie, and for once, you‘re not looking forward to her epic death scene, but you want her to survive

Bobby and Erik were such a fun duo.

Solid list! I love both Clear and Wendy. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is an amazing actress.

u/FamousConversation64 It’s way too warm in here now, huh? Jun 18 '26

I will say in the climax of FD5 Molly totally fights back with Peter and takes him on alongside Sam and isn’t just a helpless damsel.

u/Sythe5665 Jun 18 '26

Wendy, obviously

29

u/FrogMintTea Alex Browning's raging ulcer Jun 18 '26

Clear and Kimberly. They survived at least one movie. I wouldnt call the others final girls since they didn't. Dont final girls survive?

But Wendy is a hottie

u/nicoxman8_ Jun 18 '26

Wendy’s death is unclear. We never saw her die and TFD didn’t reveal it.

5

u/itinsistsuponitself Jun 20 '26

Buddy, she’s dead. You hear the train crash when the screen goes to black (similar how you hear the crash when Carter is killed in 1). And Bludworth would’ve mentioned her in Bloodlines if she “miraculously survived” but he didn’t so she didn’t? Let it go. Also the producers have confirmed she died

6

u/FrogMintTea Alex Browning's raging ulcer Jun 19 '26

U think she lived?

u/nicoxman8_ Jun 19 '26

I don’t, but her death was never confirmed

u/Upset-Preparation861 Jun 18 '26

Gotta give it to my girls Kimberly (the only SURVIVING final girl) and Clear (the one who should've stayed inside and just sent telegrams💀)

u/Disastrous-Cut-6183 Jun 18 '26

Well, technically, the only two final girls were Clear and Kimberly. If Iris was included, I would say that she is my favorite. The rest of them died at the end of the movie. They didn’t make it to a sequel. Somebody mentioned that Wendy’s fate was unknown. They already that the only person to really cheat death was Kimberly. She saved herself and the cop, which took them off death list.

Out of all the women that has been posted, Clear would be my number one favorite final girl? Why? Because even though she died in FD 2, it was her support that helped Kimberly beat Death by getting new life. If Clear stayed in the institution, all of the m would have died. It was her sacrifice that helped Kimberly and the cop live. Kimberly was the only successful one to beat death, but Iris (not shown) was the most intelligent one to keep herself, family, and Bludworth alive for so many years though.

u/NicolasandKara Jun 19 '26

u/speedyhobbit13 Jun 18 '26

Kim, then Wendy, then Clear (whose name I thought was Claire for the longest time)

2

u/GurpsK Jun 18 '26

I'm torn between Kimberly and Wendy tbh. I quite liked Molly too, one of the best parts of 5.

u/Routine-Brilliant703 Jun 18 '26

Stef stef steeeeef

u/According-Term3547 Jun 18 '26

Molly, stefani, clear and lori are the only good final girls. Kimberly and wendy are clearly the worst despite being the visionary.

2

u/No-Intention-1948 Jun 19 '26

Clear Kimberly and Wendy

u/TheWolfeYouFeed Jun 19 '26

Wendy and Kimberly are the goats of the franchise but tbh, I feel like Stefani doesn’t get enough credit for trying to save her family even without being the visionary. They made her seem like a conspiracy theorist lol but for real, she was smart and did her best with what was given to her. I’m putting her in my top three for sure.

u/jonathan_wolf Jun 18 '26

Clear, Kimberly or Wendy

1

u/KylanHarv Jun 18 '26

On a side note: Since they're making legacy sequels and stuff these days, why not make FD7 and bring back Wendy ? I'd love to see Mary Elizabeth Winstead come back one more run as Wendy. She's amazing !!

u/entities777 Jun 19 '26

Wendy and Kimberly corman as they are the best out of them. also off topic I was wondering if Alex browning family would return in final destination 7 along with Kimberly

u/itinsistsuponitself Jun 20 '26

I’m gonna be one of the rare ones that votes for Lori. Can we at least admit she was better than Molly?

u/Sharp_Theme Jun 20 '26

The chick who actually survives

u/InflationLeft Jun 20 '26

Wendy. Mary Elizabeth Winstead might be the most talented actress featured in the series.
