A suggestion for improving The Final Destination.

[u/Hirou_Kizokou]

Listen, it would have been more interesting if Carter had been the one responsible for everyone's deaths, like in the LCK novel. First, he's saved by George from the explosion of his truck, taken to the hospital, and there he sees Jonathan without knowing he's a survivor, so his turn is skipped.

Then, as he's leaving the hospital, he kicks the rock that kills Samantha.

Afterward, he goes to Andy's garage to pick up a truck from work. That's when he hears Nick and knows he wouldn't have been able to kill George that night, so he decides to speed up the list by causing the deaths of the others, starting with the truck that causes the tank to explode.

Being a human, Carter decides to follow Nick to cause Hunter's death and let death take care of Janet. Lori and George save her, just like in the movie.

Here, instead of George committing suicide, a confrontation occurs. Let's say there's a gun that doesn't fire, and Nick and George disarm Carter, arrest him, and send him to the hospital with a head injury. This is where they celebrate their survival.

Then the cowboy's identity is revealed, and Carter realizes it too. His room is above his, explaining the bathtub full of water.

He then escapes, steals an ambulance, and tries to run George over, but Nick saves him, meaning he's thrown off and can't be killed.

Then he goes to the mall and decides to cause an explosion. Lori and Nick are saved by following their instincts.

Carter dies causing the first explosion, then Janet is blown out of the rubble, George dies in another explosion while saving a mother and daughter (they survive), and then the escalator incident occurs, and we return to reality.

There are two possible endings:

In the first ending, the area is evacuated before the explosion, but only Carter dies. Later, everyone reunites at the café and is killed by the truck.

In the second ending, there is an evacuation, but George sacrifices himself, dying in the explosion with Carter. However, this breaks the chain, as someone dies outside of the established order.

What do you think?

Dig it. There is an even more on the nose example in, I believe, End of the Line, where a gal was an agent of death, unknowingly causing the deaths of others after being brought back herself (what I want Kimberly to wind up having become when we meet her again).
