At some point it was literally just magic killing them It was, and it was very silly, but goddamn if it wasn't fun. I liked the rube Goldberg like mechanics of the deaths, and the general quality of them - lots of great practical effects and creative deaths. 4 was the only one that really disappointed for that. And 5 was probably the least predictable of the entire series. <cite>OctilIery posted [p:925754154] in Why did Fi...

Cobra1010 08/07/19 3:27:29 PM #19:	They needed to add something new to each one. Instead they just followed the same formula for every sequel. Would have been better if we learn more of this 'death' each movie. Then maybe in the 4th or 5th, someone actually escapes death.

Lebronwon 08/07/19 3:33:05 PM #20:	People got bored of the same plot over and over. Final Destination spoilers though if you seen one you know what im talking about in the spoilers. There is an accident. Someone freaks out and people get away from the situation. People get mad at the person for freaking out as people die in the background. Then slowly the survivors die one by one. If they made a 6th film people would expect those spoilers above and just not watch the film. They either need to change the plot or reboot 10-15 years from now. --- Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 <cite>Lebronwon posted [p:925757796] in Why did Fi...
