Line 25:
== [[The Grim Reaper]] is a sadistic bastard who is purposely giving the heroes visions of their upcoming deaths to ensure they and whoever they can save will die in more creative ways for his amusement. ==
How else are you going to explain why the protagonists get the visions in the first place? Then again...
* Pretty much confirmed in <s>Final Destination 4</s> [[Spell My Name Withwith a "The"|THE]] [[Blatant Lies|Final Destination]].
** And then retconned in Final Destination 5.
** Final Destination 5 is a prequel, so probably not.
Line 50:
 
 
== The events of the film are the direct result of someone in America who has found [[Death Note (Manga)|a little black book]]. ==
Furthermore, he's a fan of gory movies, so he clearly wants to see how much he can get away with. Those visions were clearly ''[[Gambit Roulette|exactly as planned]]''.
* The reason that all the victims previously escaped fatal accidents: The first time was either a case of psychic ability or a fluke. They then get mentioned on the news; the book wielder, who also possesses an extremely warped sense of humour, decides to use them as his next victims. He has so much fun doing so that the subsequent accidents are engineered by the note wielder ''via'' the simple method of writing things along the lines of 'X dies from Y, having previously escaped Z'. Whoever has the black book in question is a very sick puppy and might be someone who knows the victims, which would explain why he's so fond of this particular routine - that is, he finds the panicking entertaining in some way. (While one [[Death Note (Manga)|little black notebook]] ended up in the hands of someone who possesses some standards, twisted though they may be, this one ended-up in the possession of a total headcase.)
* Alternatively, the visions were unrelated to the notebook in question. But its owner has been using it for so long that they've developed a death god-complex and have taken the idea of a group of people escaping death as a personal challenge or affront, which they respond to by trying to inflict maximum terror on their victims before killing them.
 
== Most of the events of the films are caused by [[Death Note (Manga)|a Kira]] who went to the high school in the first movie. ==
He targeted his bullies on the plane. The survivors are all people whose names he didn't write down; he took the idea that that incident was survivable as a personal affront, and so went sadistic on the survivors. Each subsequent movie's initial "accidents" originally targeted, and killed, specific people whom he hated; he only went after the survivors afterwards.
 
Line 103:
If you were a reaper, wouldn't precognition and sign seeing be a useful tool for your trade?
 
== Death is a [[Mage: The Ascension (Tabletop Game)|Mage]]. ==
Hey, even [[Evil Sorcerer|Nephandi]] need a vacation sometime, and that [[Chaos And Entropy Magic|Qlippothic Entropy]] Sphere is just sitting there...
 
Line 111:
 
== The cast is already ''at'' their Final Destination. ==
In other words, they're all dead and being tortured for various sins. The ones '[[Blessed Withwith Suck|blessed]]' with visions are the worst of the lot, but they [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|don't remember]] their past lives any more than anyone else. They ''think'' they can escape their fate and help others in the process, [[You Can't Fight Fate|but]]...
 
== Death isn't a malevolent entity; the people having visions are causing everything. ==
In the [[Crapsack World]] of ''[[Final Destination]]'', discovering you're 'special' [[Blessed Withwith Suck|is a]] ''[[Blessed Withwith Suck|very]]'' [[Blessed Withwith Suck|bad thing]]. Their society exposes them to so much [[Bloodier and Gorier|death, destruction, and tragedy]] that any potential [[Reality Warper|Reality Warpers]]/espers have developed a ''potent'' [[Primal Fear|fear of death]]. When their powers awaken, they envision a worst-case scenario of how something as simple as riding a plane or a roller coaster could [[Go Horribly Wrong]] -- and [[Your Mind Makes It Real|cause it to happen]].
 
Thanks to their awakening power, they sense that it's about to happen and, understandably, panic. But everybody dies someday; that's unavoidable. Aware of this, they subconsciously influence their environment and ''cause'' things to 'correct' themselves.
Line 124:
No evidence necessary. Watch ten minutes of any of the films.
 
== [[Death Note (Manga)|Kira]] got REALLY bored. ==
This is what he does on a rainy day to screw with people.
 
== The Death in this series is the replacement Death from the climax of ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Reaper Man|Reaper Man]]''. ==
[[Discworld]] fans may recall that one of Death's [[Berserk Button|berserk buttons]] regarding the Auditor-nominated replacement was that Death 2.0 wanted to rule over humanity.

Line 139:
 
== The Grim Reaper changes every movie ==
Or to elaborate, The Grim Reaper is really a person who has premonotions during the course of the Reaper's Game. (No, not [[The World Ends With You (Video Game)|THAT]] one) When said person dies, he/she replaces the previous reaper and begins to start his/her own Reaper's Game by giving another person premonotions, killing people in complicated ways, and so forth.
 
In other words: Who ever has the premontion powers in a Final Destination movie will become the Grim Reaper in the next. Alex Browning was the Reaper for [[FD 2]], Kimberly was the Reaper for [[FD 3]], Wendy was the Reaper for [[FD 4]]/TFD, and Nick will be the next Reaper for (Hopfully) [[FD 5]]. Although, it might be weird explaining how {{spoiler|Alex and Kimberly become reapers in the first place do to them living.}} But someone might add to this thoery and make it make more sense.
Line 146:
 
== Ryuk is Death. ==
During his time with Light Ryuk not only picked up Light's [[The Plan|knack for gambits]], but also Light's [[Pride|hatred of losing.]] After Light died Ryuk got ''really'' bored until one day he discovered a loophole in the shinigami rules that would allow him to indirectly kill humans without the [[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]] free of consequence. The rest is history.
 
== ''[[Final Destination]]'' 's Death caused the ''Titanic'' disaster. ==
Line 215:
Because, hey, why else would they be able to cheat death in the first place?
 
== [[Death Note (Manga)|Kira]] got really ''really'' drunk one night and the events of the film were the result of him writing their names while on a bender. ==
Well, it all started that night L got Light really drunk at the karaoke bar in the hope of getting him to confess to being Kira. Gorn and [[Hilarity Ensues|hilarity ensued]].
 
Line 238:
== Death is... ==
Here are the candidates:
* [[Death Note (Manga)|Light Yagami]].
* [[The Omen|Damien Thorn]].
* [[My Little Pony Freindship Is Magic|Discord]]
Line 251:
Death is doing his job. He has nothing against any of the people involved, and as [[Humans Through Alien Eyes|an outside observer]], he finds is fascinating how creative people can get about their own survival if you give them little hints about what's going to happen. Fate thinks this is cheating and has a tantrum, but he can't exactly take his toys and go home, so he's teaching Death a lesson about not getting too close to the mortals.
 
Meanwhile, Death [[Chess Withwith Death|plays poker with William Bludworth]] on Fridays.
 
== The Final Destination Franchise takes place in a form of hell based on Vancouver and some other bits of the world ==
