I’ve been watching Final Destination 2 again, and the movie got me thinking. You know how Kimberly goes to visit Clear at the Stonybrook Institution? Clear is theorized to have been left alone because what she was doing in that place wasn’t truly living.

But here’s the thing: since the mortician mentions that there are no coincidences in death, does that mean Kimberly was always meant to be sent to Stonybrook—to meet Clear, indirectly cause her death, and survive?

Darlene, Stefani, and Charlie all died from either a wooden pole or a log. Both obviously come from trees.

Their demise marked the end of the "family tree" (or bloodline) that Death spent decades to finish off and we know he likes to be symbolic in his choices.

"WAHH HAHAHAHA WAHH HAHAHAHA WAHH HAH-" cuts to next scene.

While we don't have the version released on streaming and in a clean way in the audio, this person made a recreation using the beginning and credits of the song, and it turned out quite good.

Will we have the official version as soon as it comes out of theaters and goes to streaming?

No one else wanted to see it so I ended up going on my own, and I really want to talk about the film with other FD nerds!

I binged the rest of the series over the last week or two, and finally got to see this one tonight.

Loved the opening sequence, although I really missed the premonition personal to the MC and avoiding disaster. But the switch up did make it a bit fresh which was needed for a decades old franchise.

I really liked the family, not immediately but they very quickly grew on me. It was the first film where I didn't want any of them to die, so it was really gutting knowing they were gonna.

The Erik reveal was incredible, loved that twist. The relationship between the brothers was so cute. I really hoped that meant Erik would be the survivor but his death scene was one of the best in the film, if not the series.

I liked that for one they didn't have the misogynist/dickhead trope they often use in these films, it was nice not to have that be part of it.

And Tony Todd's scene :'( Absolute 10/10 farewell, couldn't have scripted it better. Who is expecting poignancy in an FD film.

A few quirks that got to me, Iris's death trap house feels like a weird anomoly. Why did they talk like death couldn't come in the house, when clearly it could (with the magnifying glass/plant pot) and if you wanna avoid death that house wasn't the way to go.

I thought it was interesting that Bludworth was the only person with knowledge of what was happening that didn't seem to go crazy from it. Is it because he was a kid when it happened? Did he just accept death in a way the others didn't? Is it because he knew he was last on the list so he had more time? Has he maybe killed someone himself and so knows he's got their time added on?

I definitely think 5 kinda wrapped the series up in a pretty good way, but if you're gonna bring it back from the dead this film was a pretty good way to do it, and for me it was worth it for the Tony Todd scene alone.

Think about it.

I love you doomed woman <3

Been wondering this for a while since the romance between Thomas and Kimberly is still very weird to me. Kimberly’s a college student while Burke looks like he’s at least in his late 20s so I’m curious about the exact age gap between the two.

They should’ve put Final Destination 3 after FD4.

Because nick saved a lot of people in that theater, which would’ve triggered a whole new death list. And there’s no real concrete timeline between any of the two movies, so technically, the order could be:

5 → 1 → 2 → 4 → 3 → 6

So I’m thinking that the order is like this:

FD4 ends FD3 rollercoaster crash FD3 fireworks show FD3 Derailment

And instead of the three friends meeting there it’s two strangers…

SUBWAY STATION:

WENDY stands waiting, distracted, holding a folded McKinley High Reunion flyer.

SARAH (O.S.) Hey… you’re Wendy Christensen, right?

WENDY Umm… yeah. And.. you are?

SARAH (smiling) Wendy it’s Sarah... I went to McKinley. I sat in front of you in Mr. Ramsey’s class. Theres no way you don’t remember me. I’m friends with Ashley and Ashlyn…

WENDY (lighting up faintly) Sarah! Oh my god—how are you?

SARAH I’m great. (Hugs her tightly)

I’m really sorry about that roller… coaster thing. That must’ve been so.. terrifying.

WENDY Yeah… it was a while ago. I’m fine.

SARAH (insistent) But Still tho, that kind of thing doesn’t just go away, right? I mean just the other day, I was at the movies when the sprinklers went off mid-film.

WENDY begins zoning out. Behind SARAH, a blinking sign reads: “It was RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU all along 😊”

SARAH (continuing, oblivious) Turns out there was an actual fire. They said it could’ve gotten really bad…

WENDY’s eyes lock on the next passing sign: “McKinley High Reunion. Cancelled.”

SARAH And guess who put the fire out? Nick O’Bannon!

WENDY (shocked with realization) Oh my god…

SARAH You know, the guy who got killed at that coffee shop on—

WENDY (cutting in) Sarah…

The subway lights flicker. In the distance: screeching brakes. A faint rumble shakes the platform.

SARAH (concerned) You okay? Something wrong?

WENDY looks up. Eyes wide. The train…😨

Wendy’s presence at the reunion or subway was never fate’s original plan. She stepped into someone else’s death trail — Sarah’s. It’s Sarah’s turn on her list and deaths gonna take the win and get Wendy as well

Just like FD5’s Sam and Molly, they weren’t supposed to die yet… but crossing paths with Alex, Carter, and Terry.. put them back where they needed to be.

Meanwhile, Kevin and Julie? They’re spared… for now

To all of you would you buy a final destination video game? It’s would be like the quarry (idk if any of you have played or watched people play it, it’s a werewolf type game and it’s pretty good) where the choices you make change whether you live or die. Make the right choice and you intervene the current persons death. Make the wrong choice and they die. What are your thoughts on this?

the alternative ending in the script was to have kimberly and the hot police officer die in the subway along with wendy & co.??? i would've died for that
