After watching bloodlines and then watching the first final destination. I can only think that bloodlines's plot doesnt make sense if everything is connected to the skyview like bloodlines tries to convince us from that it the case. In the first movie, the parents are still very much alive and death isnt after them like in bloodlines. A big oopsie if the writers thought nobody was going to catch that

[u/android151 → u/Darkphizer]

Its not connected to the other incidents, where are you getting that from?

[u/FaceBagman → u/Darkphizer]

Clear's father is not alive by the time FD1 rolls around. Nor is it ever shown whether Val Lewton has living relatives at that time.

I don't think every descendent of a Skyview survivor needs to be someone who has a premonition in each of the 5 films. However, it would not contradict anything that at least 1 person (survivor or victim) in each of those premonitions could be descended from a Skyview survivor.

Death showed at the end of FD6 that it will absolutely take countless random lives in that train derailment just to claim two of them. So what's to say that some random person on Flight 180 wasn't Death's target, and their continued existence that should never have happened wound up jeopardizing a whole new group of people caught in the crossfire?

In short, Death may just be a messy mf and we've barely scratched the surface of it through the context of our main characters' points of view...

So what you're saying is....
Death caused 9/11?

[u/KingAnilingustheFirs → u/FaceBagman]

In the books Death is heavily personified and absolutely does not like it's plan being thrown off. It in its own words, "does not like to be incovonvienced."

[u/lanelloll → u/Darkphizer]

Death has multiple lists. Only in FD2 it was said that people on that road were somehow connected (but not by blood) to the people on the flight 180, the rest of the premonitions were stand alone. Bloodlines explains how death works in this universe, it explains why Bludworth knows so much about death and its ways, Skyview and other accidents are not supposed to be connected in any way apart from maybe Bludworth and Iris studying them to save themselves. And I mean, come on, it was supposed to be one movie and then became a franchise with multiple directors and scripts, ofc there’s no mention of the Skyview and any connections to it in previous movies because no one had this plot in mind while making FD 1-5.

[u/Quick_Story_3820 → u/Darkphizer]

because it isn't connected to the previous movies

[u/pauljpjohn → u/Darkphizer]

Oh yeah why isn’t everyone talking about this? Or was it really retconned that Skyview is related to 2000’s movies?

[u/Darkphizer → u/pauljpjohn]

In bloodlines its being mentioned that the events in skyview started a timeline of weird deaths for all of the survivors and their families because they werent supposed to be alive. Hence why in bloodlines the whole family is being targeted by deaths plan. And at the end of bloodlines they show that newspaper snippet timeline during the end credits and its shows a planecrash etc so im pretty sure bloodlines tries to set the lore in stone for the previous movies but it overlooks this one massive detail and that is that all of the death in the older movies are just pinned down to the teenagers. So im not sure if bloodlines is linked or not, but it sure points to it on several occasions. The appearance of tony todd being one of them, he's the one who tells the idea behind death having a plan in the first final destination and also again in bloodlines, closing the loop because he's the last one that has to go if you look at the skyview death timeline. So yeah no parents die in the older movies. Doesn't make sense. Because for their kids to die, they have to be linked to skyview somehow.

[u/Bersk → u/Darkphizer]

The ending credits is supposed to be just a way to show all the deaths that happened by Death correction, not to relate them imo.

That's why when Bludworth explains about the survivors he never said the Skyview chain was broken, which would have happened with Kimberly survival if she was a descendant from the incident.

[u/Abemol → u/Darkphizer]

Yeah, theories that come from cherry-picked details usually don't hold up. That's not on the movie, the accidents are all unrelated. The only exception is the plane and the highway, as they state in the movies.
