Why didn't they just shoot death?
Better yet, why didn't the characters just become serial killers so they can be practically immortal?

Death is the protagonist

>>213520951 (OP)
Death is actually the hero in these films
If death is an entity in this universe, that means there could very well be an afterlife, dumbass teens running away when they could give up quietly and party with jesus

>>213520951 (OP)
>why didn't the characters just become serial killers so they can be practically immortal?
Please tell me this happens in one of the films, sounds like a fun concept

>>213520951 (OP)
Just eat death

>>213520977
There's a theory that if you kill someone you get the lives they could have lived but the downside is you don't know how many years they have so you could only be prolonging it by like a month at best. There's also a theory, or I think it's been confirmed in this newest movie that if you pull a flatliners you're off the list.

My question is why doesn't death just leave them alone after they survive the first incident. It's not like they're going to magically become immortal. They'll die of old age eventually.

>>213520951 (OP)
They're moral, and stoooopid

They're teens and college students in a slasher film, they deserve the worst fates possible

>Asking lore questions regarding a horror film
90 percent of horror movies can be toppled down if you try to induce the slightest bit of logic, even this one.
This is why so many of them rely on spirits and possessed enemies.
My point is that no horror franchise should go beyond 3 films

>>213521142
But if they don't go beyond three films how can they go to space? You CAN'T go to space in the third film!

>>213521015
I guess that's why OP mentioned "serial" killing. Even if it's just a month, that time can add up. Kill a person a day.

What the fuck is SAW going to do when Tobin Bell kicks the bucket. The franchise is entirely carried by him to the point where they keep having to either flashback to him or make prequels

>>213521206
Wouldn't be surprised. Sherlock Holmes does.

>>213520951 (OP)
Does the movie look good at least?

>>213521142
Idk. The logic in Final Destination is pretty sound. The whole premise is the fact that no matter what, death comes for us all.

>>213521015
Tony Todd kind of leans on a theory in the first two movies where Death has a meticulous plan for everything. Letting people live through accidents they were meant to die in must upset some cosmic balance that is necessary to maintain

>>213521355
Kinda? But the deaths are all CG'd to the point where it's just comedic. The characters just burst into blood like gif rel.

>>213521379
This answer only works for a few seconds until more questions pop up.

>>213521421
Yeah the deaths were good but largely looked bad

>>213520963
I kinda feel this. I don't want to die or anything, but if I was in a Final Destination scenario. Fuck it, ok Im gonna die. I got a deadline. Or even if I got diagnosed with 3rd or 4th stage cancer, I got a deadline.

>>213521181
But killing someone takes time and planning and if the person you killed only had let's say an hour then there's no time for the next one.

>>213521457
>But killing someone takes time and planning
It really doesn't

>>213521415
But then why do they get the visions?

>>213521442
Nta, but the only thing that is certain in life is that you will die. What questions pop up?

>>213521473
Shut up

>>213521465
It does if you want to get away with it. What's the point of killing someone for extra time on the clock of you're just going to be behind bars or shot?

>>213521442
>Idk. The logic in Final Destination is pretty sound. The whole premise is the fact that no matter what, death comes for us all.
What questions? We all die, death is inevitable.

>>213521475
Why exactly are the character's on Death's list
Does death only care about gruesome accidents?
As an anon above said, they'll die of old age/organ failure later on, so why do they need to die in looney tunes traps?
As OP stated, do serial murderers just live longer?

>>213521473
The visions always guide them to their deaths

>>213521504
NTA but I'm a schizophrenic autist, not a redditor so philosophy doesn't work on me
I need a comprehensive 500 page (minimum) book explaining how exactly the FD world and lore works

>>213521518
>Why exactly are the character's on Death's list
everyone is on the list

>>213521518
>Why exactly are the character's on Death's list
Everyone is on deaths list.
>why do they need to die in looney tunes traps?
Its the gimmick of the franchise
>As OP stated, do serial murderers just live longer?
They literally explained that you only get the remaining life of the person you kill. Its a mcguffin. If that baby you smothered was gonna magically die of SIDS, you would gain minutes at best. If the girl being murdered by a serial killer had a weird heart condition, not much time gained.

>>213521615
Why does Death have a list?
How many pages is it, there's 7 billion people on this shithole
Where does he keep a list that long

>>213521634
>Why does Death have a list?
so he can go one by one
>Where does he keep a list that long
on his palm pilot

>>213521625
>They literally explained that you only get the remaining life of the person you kill. Its a mcguffin. If that baby you smothered was gonna magically die of SIDS, you would gain minutes at best. If the girl being murdered by a serial killer had a weird heart condition, not much time gained.
The average life expectancy is a lot longer, Why not just blow up a building? Kill a few dozen people, and if you survive to the next month, just do it again.

>>213521648
Damn, Death likes to keep things retro.

>>213521556
I don't think that guy killed in the shower by slipping on the magic moving liquid was supposed to die that way

That doesn't seem like a natural way for someone to die

>>213521634
Look dude, just turn your brain off and enjoy the fucking movie

>>213521661
Mass murder is the way to go but there's too much risk of getting killed by the cops or a die hard wannabe guy

>>213521730
>Cops existing (or doing their jobs) in horror movies

>>213521726
>Stop thinking and just watch the movie
Do horror buffs really?

>>213521661
You only get put Rube Goldberg list if you have a premonition and fuck up his plans. But I feel like youre missing the point dude. Death is inevitable. They come up with new rules all the time, and they never work and everyone dies at the end.

>>213521815
The heart stopping thing does work. They confirm it in the new movie.

>>213521815
>Death is inevitable
Yeah no shit. But this is a movie with established lore and where Death is basically an entity with feelings and motives.
I don't watch movies to go "wow so deep"
I watch movies to knit pick every plot fiber and also for sexual arousal
FD at least passes the latter

chat hear me out
what if final destination...

My only issue is what is the point of the premonitions? They're obviously meant to be some sort of divine intervention that only gives a few more days of life at best and often leads to an even more horrific demise than the original fate.

Utterly pointless.

>>213521915
And what about all the innocent bystanders who get hit in the crossfire of death's overcorrection? And what if THOSE people get their own premonitions?

Why didn't I marry Clear Riveavdtvrs?

>>213521800
It's slasher, anon.
The genre's premise is contrived by default. It's the dumbest version of horror.

>>213520951 (OP)
None of the deaths in this film can happen for REAL
Right guys

>>213521915
It's a plot device to watch a crazy domino effect kill people.

>>213521995
I've seen crazier shit back on liveleak, or even /gif/.

>>213521868

I'll never understand how people treat dying so nonchalantly
Death and dying is absolutely terrifying and no amount of platitudes or Mark Twain quotes is going to convince me otherwise
>It's just like being asleep bro
You eventually wake up, plus you usually dream while sleeping

>>213522082
nowhere near as contrived as Final Destination, looks like it was thrown by some faggot.
In FD, the brick would have either been triggered by some domino effect or just gained sentience and threw itself

>>213522124
>You eventually wake up, plus you usually dream while sleeping
You have no certainty of that happening when you fall asleep, and you only can recollect whether or not you dreamed until you wake up. For all intents and purposes,if you aren't afraid to sleep, shouldn't be afraid of the death process. Not saying you shouldn't be afraid of dying, but you're brain just shuts off and you go.

>>213522204
I literally remember my dreams all the fucking time, usually they feel real.

>>213520951 (OP)
This was pure kino. In fact, it's the only FD movie that needs watching.

>>213522124
>I'll never understand how people treat dying so nonchalantly
Nonchalantly is a bad word. Acceptance would be better. Its just something thats gonna happen. No matter what. I learned a lot about it volunteering at a hospice

>>213522081
At least you get to go out with a smile

>>213522124
Sometimes life just sucks that bad

>>213522124
literally everyone is afraid of death, they just repress it.
Anyone who claims otherwise is lying or suicidal

The CGI in this film is so wank.

Art the Clown may SEEM like a sadistic character but in reality, his films have real philosophical and sociological weight to them.

>>213522543
The best scenes in the first two are when he's not killing people. Haven't seen the 3rd

>>213522543
>Final Destinationfags would rather watch a moronic story with cgi deaths that look like jelly simply because "muh death cums for everyone", something that everybody already knows already.
>Terrifierchads enjoy a fun character killing people with all practical effects, no gay message, just pure, unadulterated slasher fun

>>213522124
Every living organism is programmed to fear death. The sole purpose of every living creature is to survive and reproduce. Death is the primary thing to avoid. That being said, humans are self aware and can actually grasp the concept of death. So avoid it, but also understand it's going to happen and use that to you're advantage.

>>213522810
Horror films like Final Destination have very poignant stories. They open our eyes and teach us about life and of course, death. I consider it required viewing for any individual.
Terrifier is just violence and gore for the sake of it. There's no meat, no substance, just mindless killing.
Films like Terrifier teach its audience that sadistic torture methods are ok, they harm the souls of everyone who watches it.
As much as I enjoy horror, I believe movies like Terrifier shouldn't be allowed to be released, these films cause an untold amount of damage to the human psychie

Death comes to collect, but he doesn't have any power over the world of the living. The killer in Final Destination has always been god, tormenting humans for his amusement.

>plus you usually dream while sleeping
What do you think the afterlife is, bro?

>>213523148
If this franchise makes it to 10 films (which is highly likely) I wouldn't put this idea past them

>>213520951 (OP)
I thought that recent Monkey film did this entire shtick way better, and actually had Death play a role.

>>213522869
Western culture is focused on depopulation. Death is practically worshipped while positive portrayals of family are abhorrent.

>>213521379
Why get the visions in the first place?

>>213522869
This. Terrifier is literally what people thought the first Saw was.

>>213521800
Yes. Horror buffs know that what they're watching is retarded and weird.
In this way they're better than the sci-fi and superhero fans, who still have delusions that what they like is both deep and potentially normal.

>>213520951 (OP)
Any new horror movies worth checking out?
Probably been like half a year since last time I saw one

>>213524178
I liked Saw X but that was a while ago
