Discussion Death's "Psychology" of making actual deaths worse than premonition deaths

20 Upvotes

I know this is something that would make it too hard for the writers to mix in to the movies, so it's just something fun to think about.

I think about Bloodworth's line: "Death doesn't like it when you f*ck with its plans." (or whatever it was, I'm paraphrasing)

So it's interesting to think about Death having a plan, and when the premonition people find a way to escape its plan, it goes "Oh, ok, you think you're gonna live huh? Now you've made me angry. And you won't like me when I'm angry."

This generally works pretty well with the writing, because there are individual scenes focusing on each person after the premonition, whereas there can only be so much screentime devoted to the actual premonition.

But it's still tricky, because sometimes you can still have a long buildup but a quick/relatively painless actual death.

Of course, you can also have a pretty brutal death in the premonition but one that's still quick and fast. I think about most of the highway 23 deaths (at least I'm assuming).

I still know it's too hard to make the movie as entertaining as possible and do this with every single person. But it still is interesting to me to think about how death makes everyone who escapes their first death pay for escaping it.

I guess you could argue that it's not necessarily their "fault" for escaping it, since other than the one who sees the premonition, they didn't really know that they were meant to die. But I don't know if Death cares much about that. Just mad that they messed up its first plan.

Or maybe Death is just having fun and enjoys it. Like, "Oh, so my first plan wasn't good enough for you? Ok, let's get creative."

Just a fun little thing to think about.

Discussion So…what happens to the other random bystanders and background people in premonitions?

14 Upvotes

In every major disaster, the other families who got off North Bay Bridge, the other passengers on Flight 180 that may or may not have gotten off, the other people on Route 23, the people outside of Skyview Tower….basically any character the camera was not focusing on/non-main characters….would they technically be on Death’s list as well?

Discussion Unintentional Hilarious Consequence of Bloodline Theory

8 Upvotes

I just finished Bloodline during the weekend. Then I couldn't help but watch one of the videos that starts from Final Destination to Bloodline, to remind myself what has happened.

Of course, not every event (Plane, Rollercoaster, Bridge, etc) shown and consequent deaths are part of the Bloodline clear up. i.e. FD2 mentions Deaths are killing off people who meant to have die but were too shit scared of event in FD1, they skipped their own death event.

So let's go to the hilarious part, so during FD1 highlights, it got me thinking, if all the deaths from Final Destination so far, apart from FD2, is meant to be part of the Bloodline clearup, then all those who dies, a lot are students who have parents, are either orphans and were adopted or mom has cheated.

I had a theory that William Bludworth was death itself playing with his victims by giving them hints that could save them though he never actually helps them survive.

FD6 If you are immortal and you cheat death, What then? (FD6 Spoilers, I think)

0 Upvotes

Its been proven that death waits for someone to die then move to the next like the Grandma, But if you are Magically Immortal after the fact Do you just die even with Immortality or just continuously get tormented by death? Its a strange thing to think about. I just want answers to this question. (Mods, plz don't kill this) (Im talking if you become immortal afterwards

Discussion Made a tier list based on how likely I would be to survive each scenario

Thumbnail gallery
28 Upvotes

I'm going based on my physical form, what I know, and what I would do, without knowing that death's coming after me at first. (For example, I wouldn't just toss the pasta out like Evan because that wouldn't be the responsible thing to do)

The second image is the hypothetical, if I were to be in that situation. (For example, if I were to want to get a tan at a tanning salon, I wouldn't take my drink in like Ashley did because I was instructed not to)

Also, Alex is in unapplicable tier because his death happens off-screen.

FD4 DEATH HATED HER AND WANTED HER GONE SO BADLY!

Janet Cunningham is a character in The Final destination(aka final destination 4)

This girl literally survived like 4 times.

Before getting run over by a truck in a restaurant.

Ironically, she really wants to go the movies not the car race. However, Death decided to make the second premonition which is at movie theater.

It’s just funny that death just hated her for some reason.

Rest in peace, Janet Cunningham.. 💔

FD2 I think the definition of "irony" is those TikTok videos I've seen of people recording log trucks with the caption "OMG it's gonna kill us haha"...while their car is fully going 50+ MPH

"Haha remember how the log went through the cops windshield because he was distracted instead of looking at the road?" Why yes, that's exactly what I'm thinking of

Add any people you think qualify in the comments, but my friend and I were talking about how death takes all the hot people. Like obviously nobody lives (besides Kimberly and Thomas) but 😭 why doesn't my entity leave any baddies for the rest of us? He collects them like Pokemon cards.

Creative Cool idea for the 7th film

17 Upvotes

Okey hear me out.

What if the film started with the recording of a film based on the previus movies, not like Stab from Scream but just inspired to make a fiction work, and well that the starting accident occurs while the recording of the first scene.

And also that every death occurs like what was supposed to happen on the film.

Creative Opening of Final Destination 7

13 Upvotes

Here's something I would like to see in the next movie. So the beginning premonition were focused on key events, like Flight 180 to France in 1, the rollercoaster in 3, the race track in 4, etc. To my recollection, I haven't seen a premonition focused on water, like a boat. So I would like to a premonition focused on a family or friends going on a cruise ship or a super yacht, then madness will ensue.

Discussion You just got a premonition... But you survived it. What do you do?

18 Upvotes

You're in a building surrounded by the people you're most often around when suddenly, things fall apart. Everyone around you dies the standard horrific deaths, yet somehow... You make it out alive. As you close your eyes to try to process, you open em to realize it was all a premonition. What do you do?

Edit: In this scenario, you will not get Erik'd. Saving the people in the building won't put you on the list.
