History Headscratchers / FinalDestination

** Possibly inverting the list is something that can ''only'' happen if the vision-having character physically '''forces''' other people to survive, rather than just yelling about an imminent catastrophe so that others either choose to leave, or are forced out by somebody who's reacting to their hissy-fit. The big difference between Kimberly's vision in ''3'' and all the other cases was that she didn't flip out and yell, she actively ''blocked the entrance-ramp with her car'' so the would-be casualties couldn't get to the accident-site even if they wanted to.

** I've theorized that death is a drama queen and uses the premonitions as an excuse to get full control over the universe, to knock them off in ways he sees fit. I've heard one quote from a final destination character that suggests that death likes having an audience for his rube goldbergs

** She's wearing stilleto boots and if you watch closely you can see she breaks the window by kicking through it. Something long and blunt like a stilleto would serve as a perfect window-punch.

* The youngest character to die in the series was Tim in FD 2 but what about the infant that was onboard Flight 180 in the first movie?

** My theory wouldn't be Death would just incapacitate you, or just make sure your plans couldn't work. Taking the Volcano example, you'd need to transport yourself to the location of the volcano.. How do you do that? You go buy a plane ticket but you can't because you suddenly have no money in the bank. You try jumping off a bridge? A car hits you on your way and you survive, but are now permanently disabled. All death has to do is stop you from dying until it's your turn.

** The directors initially were going to have all of the deaths look like accidents or suicides but decided against it after filming To'd death.

** Actually, there's a better explaination, because he didn't let the guy die then, he was able to set up [[spoiler: Clear's]] death, thus [[spoiler: finish off his list from the first film in one and kill off one of the new people on his list in foul swoop.]]

* In-universe, the citizens aren't at least suspicious about the gruesome deaths that occur in their towns? Sure you can hand wave them as accidents, but a bunch of teens prevent a plane, bus, roller coaster from taking off because of a "bad dream". They ignore the teens' warning and end up getting killed. Wouldn't you get suspicious that these teens from different towns are having these psychic dreams?

******* My own WMG on the series is that [[TheOmen Damien Thorne]] was deputizing for Death. Same MO.

** I might be overthinking the plot, but the manga ''{{Berserk}}'' has a premise that might be comparable. In it, the world's mostly governed by causality: everyone's individually doing what they think they want to do, but their criss-crossing motives always lead to whatever the PowersThatBe want to happen. But if someone survives the moment that they were supposed to die, they become a wild card. They're not supposed to exist in the world, and everything they do has the potential to throw fate right off its rails. Not coincidentally, all the forces of darkness are hellbent on wiping out the protagonists for exactly that reason. Something pretty similar might be going in ''FinalDestination''. Death has a plan, but humans sometimes see through it, and if they do, they can avert it and start screwing around with destiny. But since they're now a threat to the cosmic order, the whole system of cause and effect gets twisted into correcting the imbalance and getting rid of them. Though why it feels the need to do it in the most elaborately bloodthirsty way possible is another matter...
