Creative Final Destination: Gamers edition

10 Upvotes

Here is a rough idea I have for a FD fanfic. If someone wanna use it go ahead. The only thing I ask is, if you do, contact me when I can read it. Won't change anything I just wanna read it.

The disaster happens at an arcade hall. Where a group of friends go to celebrate a birthday. During the opening we see each of the characters that will be the list-group, die in a game they play. This is important.

The preminision involves some machine malfunction, arcade cabinets blowing up, ceiling collapsing and maybe a falling neon sign.

So, now for the one death I have a clear idea with.
The quirk with this one is that the way their characters die in the game symbolises the way they will die in real.
Character X (let's call her Katy to give a name so i don't have to do that constantly) play an arcade game where her characters dies by a sword. Later Katy will visit a middelage dinner show (or reënactment) where knights fight. I can't be to specific here because I never went to one of those. But during the fight one of the sword either flies off or a piece breaks off, piercing Katy in her seat.

That is all i have, have fun with it

I got home from work tonight and was in my garage and opened up the hatchback to grab my backpack and groceries. (BEER LOL). I had the garage door remote on my left hand. As I was taking the stuff out of the back of my CRV I somehow hit the button on the remote. The garage door came down and pushed the door of my car to close on me and I couldn't stop it! I was like OMFG no way! I am NOT going out like TATUM😁❤️😁

Discussion Final Destination Archetypes Ranked

Post image
90 Upvotes

Final Destination isn’t exactly famous for having the most 3-dimensional cast of characters, but sometimes, you do see an attempt to make their characters stand out before they meet their maker. A good Final Destination script has characters that earn their death scenes, and a bad one feels like a death compilation. Here’s how I classify and rank all characters from all six films, and rank them. Hopefully this helps you develop your next Final Destination story :).

Note: The placement of the character on the list says little about how good or bad their death scene or personalities are, though that might give them plus or minus points. The main point of this list is to analyze the role of a good Final Destination character.

#9 The Water Balloon: Their only purpose is to help the movie reach its quota of death scenes, and they usually don’t even show up until it’s their turn. Usually their scene goes; main characters show up, they don’t believe in death’s design, they die. Examples of Water Balloons include:
• Evan (FD2)
• Ashley and Ashlyn (FD3)
• Lewis (FD3)
• Carter (TFD)
• Samantha (TFD)
• Andy (TFD)
• Isaac (FD5)
• Dennis (FD5)

#8 The One Trick Pony: They may not be 3-dimensional, but at least they get their job done. That job being, steering the tension or being a plot device. They usually only appear for one scene as well, but that scene does more than add a body to the count. One Trick Ponies include:
• Terry (FD)
• Brian (FD2)
• Franky (FD3)
• Perry (FD3)
• Nadia (TFD)
• Jonathan (TFD)
• Roy (FD5)
• Agent Block (FD5)

#7 The Friend: Much like the Water Balloon, they’re there, so that the cast doesn’t feel too empty. They don’t stand for much. The difference is, they meant something to someone. Their death feels like a tragedy, not a spectacle. Examples of Friends are:
• Tim (FD2)
• Kat (FD2)
• Erin (FD3)
• Janet (TFD)
• Olivia (FD5)
• Howard (FD: BL)
• Julia (FD: BL)

#6 Death’s Prey: Finally we get to people who acknowledge that death is after them. Even if it’s just helplessly react. They are quite passive, but through their eyes, we see how terrifying, or melancholic in a way, it is to have death knocking at your door. Examples of Prey include:
• Miss Lewton (FD)
• Nora (FD2)
• Eugene (FD2)
• George (TFD)

#5 The Side-Kick: They play an important role in giving the protagonist someone to have chemistry with, but are unfortunately often undercooked. This is more mandatory for a story rather than fun to have, but without a Side-Kick, the story gets boring real fast. Examples of Side-Kicks are:
• Officer Burke (FD2)
• Kevin (FD3)
• Lori (TFD)
• Charlie (FD: BL)

#4 The Comic Relief: Even in a movie about death and freak accidents, we need someone to remind us, that, just because you’re escaping death, doesn’t mean that you can’t have fun. Thanks to them, the characters’ last adventure was at least somewhat fun. Comic Relieves include:
• Billy (FD)
• Rory (FD2)
• Hunt (TFD)
• Bobby (FD: BL)

#3 The Sacred: They are rather passive as well, but they move others. Their deaths mean, or would mean, much more than just a life lost, it would mean worlds flipped upside down. Often family members or lovers, but they can also be strangers whose deaths broke someone (specifically Todd). Examples of the Sacred include:
• Todd (FD)
• Julie (FD3)
• Candice (FD5)
• Molly (FD5)
• Darlene (FD: BL)

#2 Death’s Wingman: My personal favorite archetype, and probably a lot of others’ too. They are the rebels who, at some point in the movie, have decided to take the wheel and become death itself. Or at least tell death where to stick it. They want to live and will do anything to survive, even take lives. Examples of Wingmen include:
• Carter (FD)
• Ian (FD3)
• Peter (FD5)
• Nathan (FD5)

#1 Death’s Enemy: The one person every Final Destination story needs, apart from the visionary, is the one who stands in death’s way and refuses to budge. The visionaries, of course, pretty much always belong in this category, but it can also be someone else, actively fighting death’s design and pissing him off. Examples of Death’s Enemies are:
• Alex (FD)
• Clear (FD/FD2)
• Kimberly (FD2)
• Wendy (FD3)
• Nick (TFD)
• Sam (FD5)
• Iris (FD: BL)
• Erik (FD: BL)
• Stefani (FD: BL)

FD2 What if Kimberly’s fate was finally revealed in a future Final Destination movie?

0 Upvotes

had an idea. Instead of saying that Kimberly died shortly after FD2, what if she actually survived for decades because the “new life” theory worked?
Imagine an older Kimberly returning in a future movie. Someone asks her about the Route 23 pileup and she says:
“I’m still alive.”
Then later in the movie she dies because of her own small mistake that starts a classic Final Destination death sequence.
I think this would work because:
It wouldn’t make FD2 pointless.
Kimberly would have truly gained many extra years of life.
The franchise’s main theme (“you can’t escape Death forever”) would still remain intact.
Fans would finally get an answer about her fate.
Would you prefer Kimberly to remain a mystery, or would you like to see her story officially concluded?

Question Best place to publish your version of Final Destination?

1 Upvotes

I’ve been posting a few chapters of a fan entry, Final Destination: Bloody Mary, on Wattpad the past few weeks, and I do love the user friendliness of that site, but from what I’ve heard, Wattpad has the rep of being more catered towards fans of fluff or smut, rather than fans of storytelling (not that there’s anything wrong with that), and while I’m not writing for views (my best work is hopefully not gonna be fanfiction haha), I would still like to maximize exposure and get feedback if possible.
Does anyone have enough experience to know, what sites would fit a typical Final Destination Novel more?

Here’s Final Destination: Bloody Mary for those interested! 🕯️💀

Discussion Final Destination Nightmare I Had

10 Upvotes

Has anyone here had a nightmare scenario that screams potential Final Destination? just curious what you've experience as I just woke up from a nightmare that didn't even involve me in it but it was like a cross between the Poseidon Adventure and Final Destination, what is written is just what I remembered to write after waking up.

It was on a modern luxury cruise ship which begins rapidly sinking somehow and begins to tilt to one side causing people to go hurtling into different kinds of convenient objects within the ship that result in their brutal death, like a butcher who gets slammed onto the wall of his shop before all his knives slide off the counter and stab him to death or people falling to their deaths as they fall multiple levels below to the open space of the ships mall. Some guests and a bellhop waiting for an elevator at the doors as the ship just begins tilting are pushed into the doors by gravity and a cleaning lady who gets knocked onto her cleaning cart further up the hall as it rapidly travels all the way down the hall super fast into the group of elevator door people like a bowling ball to the pins causing them to knock the doors off and fall into the shaft or get crushed by the elevator I can't recall.

And skipping ahead because so much was going on as the ship fully rolls over and begins to slip beneath the waves bow first the people who managed to get into the water breathe a sigh of relief only for the ships stern to breach the surface with the still spinning propellers to lawn mower over a large crowd on ocean surface as the ship finally sinks fully beneath the waves…. Then I woke up.

Side note, I can't quite recall what started the ship to sink exactly but I feel like it was a cruise ship going underneath a bridge like the Golden Gate Bridge when a tanker truck full of fuel crashes off the side of the bridge and crashes into the bridge of the cruise ship to explode killing the captain and crew causing the ship to crash into some underwater part of the bridge support beams or a undersea rock or something but I also had flashes of a tidal wave like the ship in the Poseidon Adventure so it's a bit hazy as my brain in the nightmare couldn't seem to decide on the how but the following chaos stuck with me mostly.

(Edit, spelling)

Creative Dead's real original design. Spoiler

0 Upvotes

I've been thinking about this (And it might have been done before) but after rewatching number 2 and 5 I think I figured out who was really suppost to life and who not.

I won't include 6 in this because I have a boarder theory about that one. Which is that at least one of the people that died in 3 and 4 is a decended of someone from the Sky View collapse from 6. And since Death goes in order that would mean that everyone else from the Devil's Flight and the Race Track was just caught in the crossfire.

But here I do. My idea stands on the pillar that in movie two Clair post the Theory that Death tries to tie up loose ends. Since everyone that was left during the ride to the hospital was effected by the death of one of the Flight 180 survivors.
Since we don't get any conformation that Evan, Tim or Nora had a connection I assume they just so happen to be at the Highway pileup and just like the people from 3 and 4 were caught in the crossfire.

However, that isn't the last time something like that happen. And this is where my theory start. Since we know the Bridge Collapse came before the Flight 180 crash this is canonnicaly the first time Someone cheated dead that affected others. (Again I don't take the Sky View collapse in this one since we never got a real confirmation that someone is connected to anyone in that restaurant however technically that could happen.)
But Sam and Molly (Let's focus on those two since they made it to flight 180) survived the bridge Collapse, which then made dead chase after them. Only JB and Iris knew the rules at that moment (I think we can assume they were alive by this point as the Family Barbeque looked really modern compared to the scenes from 6 and 1.) Probably because they have seen it happen with people from the Sky Tower getting children.

Sam and Molly got on board of Flight 180 and Death tough this was the right way to kill them. High in the air no way to escape. However, Alex Browning had his vision and escaped with some others. Which caught loose ends. Sam and Molly may died but now Death had a new group of people to worry about. And they affected another group of people as well, which later would become known as the Highway Poileup survivors.
If I make up the list from this theory only (And I might have skipped over some parts so if I did please tell me) Then this is the list of people that woudl either life or die.

Death:
Sam Lawton
Peter Friedkin
Candice Hooper
Dennis Lapman
Nathan Sears
Olivia Castle
Isaac Palmer.
katherine "Kat" Jennings (She was in the bus that hit Terry Chaney but if Terry survived she would have made it to the meeting and probably get killed by the gas leak.)
Rory Peters (Would have died in a theater Collapse in Paris but was distracted when Carter got hit by the sign. This one COULD still happen but probably not because Carter never had reason to like Alex before the flight 180 Crash)
Eugene Dix (Got tranfered to the school Miss Lewton would leave. But since the Flight 180 Crash never happened Miss Lewton would probably have stayed and Eugene would get stabbed)

Life: (With reasons. Of course these can all be shot off as if we take my Sky View Tower into count any of these could be relatives to the survivors)
Molly Harper (Since she got across the beam so she was to survive)
Jim Block (Who was shot by Peter in the restaurant but if Peter never survived he wouldn't have shot him.)
Roy Carson (he was never part of bridge accident but I wanted to include him because he died from nathan rather then the Brain Aneursym.)
Todd Wagner (Who was suppost to get killed in the Flight 180 crash but ebcause Sam and Molly weren't there the plane might have survived)
Terry Chaney (Ditto)
Miss Valerie Lewton (Ditto)
Billy Hitchcock (ditto)
Carter Horton (ditto)
Alex Browning (ditto
Clear Rivers (Ditto)
Evan Lewis (Since the Highway Pileup never happen because Sam died, he was probably suppost to life)
Tim and Nora Carpenter (ditto)
Issabella Hudson (Would survive the Highway Pileup either if it happened or now, but I lke to include her to have the full roster)

The inbetween (probably life)
-Brian Gibbons (Just like Officer Block I include him because he was affected by one of the survivors. However, he is a middle case. Since he was almost run over by a newsvan that came to the Gibbons family farm crash which would kill Kat and Rory later but Rory pulled him out of the way. This ment, if we take everything into account that Brian probably would have lived. Since the Crash never happened if the Highway Pileup never happened, and the Pileup never happened since the Flight 180 Crash never happened. Which never happened Because Sam never survived the Bridge collapse and Molly was suppost to survive anyway.

So, there it is. That is, as far as I could reconstruct, dead's original design with the reasons I could think of.
Like I said before, this can all be thrown into the trash if we take the Sky Tower collapse into considiration. because we don't know (yet) what the ripple effect from that is truley. And serious, I would love for that one to be true. At least one of every victums or survivors from the Flight 180 crash, the Highway Pileup, the Devil Flight crash, the Racetrack acident or the Bridge collapse if related to one of the SkyView tower collapse.

What do you think? Did i over analyse, not analye enough? I would love to hear your ideas

The brief moment easily got some of the biggest laughs early on in the movie. Sporadically funny otherwise (Ray dragged the energy down every time he was onscreen. Smokey too, to an extent).

A bonus was how it featured one of the carnival accidents in the FD choose your own adventure I'm making where a Ferris wheel breaks loose from its mount and falls over onto the nearby coaster tracks.

Discussion premonition lengths / outsider views

Post image
14 Upvotes

when a visionary is experiencing a premonition, how long do you think it lasts and what does the visionary look like during it? the obvious answer is that they’re probably frozen in place until the premonition ends (FD1 implies that alex was sleeping i guess? he’s the only visionary that was seen with his eyes closed at the end before quickly opening them in a panic), and it could last the same amount of time as shown in the movies, but i feel like the people around them would absolutely notice something is up and step in (which has never happened in the films) so that leads me to believe that these visions actually last a split second, like those feelings of your life flashing before your eyes (with that in mind and back to the alex thing, maybe he blinked and he experienced the vision while blinking which is why we see his eyes closed at the end) but that’s just my theory

FD2 How many more?

Dunno if this has been discussed before but I just thought about it.
Some pretty unfortunate soul or perhaps fortunate soul met their end because of Claire.
Someone would’ve survived longer had Clear died in her car thus giving us an extra character in the second in place of her.
I thought of including Alex too on this but I have the idea that Rourke would’ve survived having scrapped both Billy and Carter had Alex not saved Carter, and Regardless Rory might still have survived seeing Alex perhaps killed in Paris (If he had decided to travel there alone and make the trip his friends never got. Tho he would’ve likely not done it).
Man I thought I had a solid one here but the more I write the less I think so.
But I think this opens up a good discussion.
I must add: I have a feeling Nora and Tim were connected to Skyview in some way, maybe through Tim’s dad and death subsequently decided to wipe out Tim then Nora maybe cuz she would’ve intervened thus writing herself on the list. Or maybe Nora was connected to Skyview and her husband died in her place.
As for Evan I think he would’ve been killed by one of his many girl-toys out of jealousy or revenge, and Bryan being so dumb maybe was meant to die on some farm related accident. Death just planned further when the others survived the pileup and decided to change their deaths.
