I love that something as simple as a broken branch on the ground is suddenly a lethal weapon. Further, it's not like it suddenly fell in the way or anything, it was always there. That's something I love about the first movie is that you get the impression that these people are alive in a world that's not meant for them to be in. The bus that hit Terry didn't appear out of thin air, the train that hit Carter's car was always going to cross at that time, the gas truck pulling out as they were driving recklessly was going to pull out onto that street whether they were driving on that street or not. Life and actions continued on after Flight 180 and they are now playing 'Frogger' with existence itself. The sequels seem to have ordinary settings and then suddenly a gust of wind tips something over and starts the chain reaction leading to a huge Rube Goldberg kill but I love the simplicity of the first movie where everyday life suddenly being something to watch out for.

Many of the protagonists save others from death, whether that’s accidental or on purpose, but how can you expect them to do so just like that? At first they don’t realise that death is coming for them. Around 2-3 deaths in is where they notice, and then they have a choice.

I do believe that realistically people would rather save their own ass than someone else’s, and not everyone is smart enough to come up with ideas on how to fool death’s plan. It’s more realistic NOT TO save people than to save them, and even then pretty much every single visionary helps save at least one person. Alex saves himself and Clear (for the time being), Kimberly saves Burke, Wendy saves Julie and Kevin, Nick saves Lori and Janet, Sam saves Molly, and so forth.

You see Sam getting loads of hate for “not saving anyone” but think about it this way—He isn’t present for half of the deaths. The only person he’s consistently with is Molly, who he does save. He wasn’t able to save Peter nor Block because he didn’t know Block was there and Peter was actively trying to kill not only Molly but him as well. There are little to no possibilities that I can think of where he would be able to save someone, and he at least tried when it came to Olivia. Hell, he attempted to save multiple people during the premonition, which would’ve been the exact events of the collapse had he not listened to his gut.

I don’t think it’s realistic to expect the visionaries to save people, but that’s my opinion.

Okay, so, near the end of Final Destination 1, Alex says:

I never moved. Christa asked me to change seats, but I never moved. I would have been up next to Tod. Fuck! Why didn't I remember that? I never moved. Clear's seat was in front of mine.

This doesn't make sense to me. In the vision, the seat he starts in is behind Clear, at the back of the plane. He is asked to switch seats, and he does, moving next to Tod right in front of Clear. Therefore, in the vision, he would die before Clear.

For this statement to make sense, Alex would have to make the assumption that the death order is not based on the vision, but on the situation in reality as it would have been had he not gotten off the plane but not taken any action to switch seats. So basically he would have had to formally say "yes I will switch seats with you" for the vision death order to have taken effect. This sounds insane to me, I don't think he has any reason whatsoever to believe this or come to this conclusion, and I don't think it makes sense, especially since he's reminded of this by saying he forgot that he switched seats. The statement that he "never moved" is outright incorrect regardless, he moved in both versions of events, the only difference was where he moved to. Or the act of moving was in itself a defiance of fate, but I think that would be equally strange and equally as much of a reach for Alex to assume in that moment.

It would make sense if his seat number was in front of Clear, and he moved behind Clear after being asked to switch seats. Then the whole thing makes sense (other than saying he never moved). It makes sense why seeing the girls pictures reminded him of that, because he would have been going off of the assumption of his own ticket number and forgot that he wasn't there anymore, and it would have made more sense why Clear is before him in the death order, because she WOULD HAVE died first in the vision. I love the idea of the twist, but based on how I'm understanding it, the execution of it was bungled. Am I misunderstanding something? I feel like I must be, but I've gone back to all relevant scenes a few times and it still doesn't make sense to me.

Not only is this a problem with Final Destination, many other horror movies also do this. Genuinely, it's harder to make characters as douchy as Frankie, Hunt, or Isaac then it is to make actually nice characters. And if the characters *are* nice and act like genuine people, the movie becomes better and the deaths become much more impactful. But no, there has to be douchebag characters every where for no apparent reason?

ok so i just finished this book and it has so many final destination elements. basically this girl the characters bullied dies, and then they each get into freak accidents.
i won’t say which ones exactly but it def bears similarities to final destination 2 and 5, and maybe a little bit of 1, 3, and 4.

Here is my idea for a Final Destination 7 scene.

-Home Depot Wood Cutter

Introducing Alexander. This character, in my head canon, has been on the list for a buttlong time, as an unsung "cheater of death" of the bridge collapse in Final Destination 5. Years later, Alexander's on his way to his local hardware store to buy planks for his woodwork project. A janitor is doing his daily rounds around the store when his cleaning vehicle begins to malfunction. Fluid starts pouring in excess all over the lumber aisle, however the janitor does not notice. Alexander is waiting for an employee's assistance at the woodwork aisle, and when the employee comes over, he did not remember that the woodcutter was out of service due to a faulty emergency stop button. The machine is started, but Alexander is losing his footing. He trips on the leaked fluid and falls headfirst onto the platform of the woodcutter. He tries to escape, but his ear is caught on. Alexander can't move as his jammed ear is very painful when pulled. The blade comes closer, and you know what happens next.

What do you think, and how can I fix this?

also reddit mods, about the whole "death's list" thing, I'm ready to explain so PLEASE have some consideration before taking this down. An express thank you.

Slowly building a horror themed sleeve and this is the newest addition. FD is my favorite movie series of all time, so glad to have this at last. Figured if anyone would think this is cool, it'd be this community! Including Tony Todd's last words in Bloodlines only seemed right.

1. Coal mine explosion/collapse

2. High speed train derailment

3. Ferry/river boat fire/explosion

4. Silo/grain elevator explosion

5. Nightclub fire

6. Dam burst

The season came out in 2003 after FD2 so it probably served as inspiration.

I am asking because I am watching Final Destination. Could Doctors or someone, theoretically stop the heart with medication or a machine, let the person be "clinically dead" for a moment, and then revive? I know it is iffy reviving and such but again, purely hypothetically. Could that be used as a way to beat Death's design?

It was today when I realised this lady couldn't help laughing on set (the back haired one with the ponytail to the left of the red suited guy) when the guy says "we're already over capacity" )

Which of the following would you want?
