Final Destination Bloodlines Death CRT

[Arkansalter2]

Just watched the movie not too long ago as of writing this and holy s*** it's brutal.
But I've learned some stuff about the man himself, Death. If you don't want to see spoilers, do not open the following.

Spoiler: BLOODLINES SPOILERS

In this video, we are introduced to a character named JB. He states that there are only two ways to stop Death. By killing or by dying. If one kills another, one is granted the life they had left (Life Manipulation). However, one can break the curse of death by dying. However, he stated that one broke the curse by being resuscitated. This would fall under a weakness. If one has Immo 4 and they die, they get revived and the curse would be broken (AND NO, KNOCKING YOURSELF UNCONSCIOUS WON'T PREVENT IT). Furthermore, he did state in the movie and I quote "If you f*** with death and lose, things will get a whole lot more messy." So this will imply that if you try to avoid deaths design, he will f*** with you A LOT more. So this implies that he has some sort of Empowerment if one avoids death.

If you skipped that, here's some additions I think would be suitable.
Life Manipulation (If one kills while under death's curse, the one would get the time the other had left)
Empowerment (If one tries to avoid death, he'll f*** with them a lot more as stated when characters in bloodlines tries to avoid death, yet dealt with a much bigger time obstacle)

Spoiler: more spoilers hahaha

Stefani and Charlie avoided drowning and crushing respectively, instead gets plowed by ole faithful big a** log from A GODDAMN TRAIN - or when Bobby avoided death when he ate a peanut butter cup (he's allergic to peanut butter) but gets railed in the head by a vending machine coil - or when Erik avoided getting hung and burned in his shop being on fire and instead gets what happens when you put metal piercings and a wheelchair near an MRI machine.

Further context to Death's Design (Addition along the lines of "or unless one gets revived or resuscitated after being killed).

So yeah, that's about it. Leave your thoughts below.

I agree with the resuscitation weakness, it was in one of the novels too.

 

[Arkansalter2]

Bump

Life Manipulation is probably fine.

As for empowerment, how do we know Death isn't just deciding to retaliate rather than getting stronger?

Because of the reason stated in the second spoiler of the thread and in the second part of the justification in the first spoiler.

I still don't really see it. How do we know Death was incapable of influencing those kinds of things before?

From the FD wiki:
"Should anyone deviate or "cheat" from what Death has set for them, whether deliberately or not, Death will punish them by using its servants to inflict the most gruesome and torturous death."
He wasn't incapable of doing so, he just didn't want to. But death doesn't like when you mess with his plans as illustrated in the movie.

Then that's not really Empowerment, which would imply he literally got stronger and did something he wasn't able to before.

 

[Arkansalter2]

did something he wasn't able to before.

That's not explicitly said in the empowerment page. You're likely confusing it with reactive evolution.

OP looks fine to me.

"Empowerment is the ability to strengthen oneself due to various circumstances and outside forces"

"Empowerment is the ability to strengthen oneself due to various circumstances and outside forces"

That's what he's doing. They are empowered by one cheating death.

I agree with life manipulation, however wouldn’t that also fit under Power Bestowal? After all just because someone kills in the FD universe this rule only works for those on deaths list, with it also being implied that you’re still on his list, you just get put back on after the deceased’s natural time is up (see the prequel)

For empowerment, I could see a possibly or limited, but for now it just seems like death tries a bit harder to get you killed.

I can agree on a possibly or a likely.

 

[Endou_God_Hand]

Thoughts on death having power bestowal?

 

[SomaKing13]

The Empowerment one, I think more seems like he's getting bloodlusted
or atleast that's how I took, as Mr.Todd himself says, you're just straight up pissing him off

 

[Apex_Predator_GX]

Minor Bump.
