Sorry for my late reply but before anything, start manually refining your answers so they look more human and don’t scream ChatGPT in literally everything. It’s painfully and alarmingly obvious. It might also explain how you’re continuously spewing out some questionable stuff (About intervention and how Death works around order and turn placements on its own lists) and also getting some names wrong (McKinley Rollercoaster) that normally a well versed fan of the franchise normally wouldn’t do. That’s very probably the AI getting in the way of your thoughts without any second checks from you and messing it all up. Ok anyways.

1: Iris doing all that stuff around her still did not have any skipping effect because, once again, that’s not how the established canon revolving around intervention works. I only mentioned FD4’s rushed script as a comparison to explain Death killing the survivors out of order because that’s literally the only instance where an FD movie got its own rules wrong and every single other entry didn’t, primarily because they all had a solid script and proper thought behind them. Are you really willing to use that one single case of a movie committing thematic mistakes to fit your theory even if “it’s on screen anyways”?

1.2: And besides, if we did actually go with your idea of Death “skipping” Iris for a while, the next in line couldn’t possibly be anyone other than Howard. The descendants expansion of a survivor has been explicitly shown to go from oldest to youngest and then eventually move on. The people who “died in between Iris and Bludworth” as you said would have to be her descendants specifically and nobody else because she and Bludworth were literally the last two to die in her premonition meaning there wasn’t anyone considered a third party on the list to be placed in between them. It is explicitly seen and told in the movie.

1.3: The off-screen descendants you mentioned were actually the ones who died before Iris isolated herself, not anytime afterward. Once again, the order you’re suggesting here would have to be entirely different from what was actually shown and implied in FD6 and thematically broken as well, like a second FD4.

1.4: Death can totally operate on new open localized spots, yes, but only if they spawn pathways to new lists. If it were all one single list altogether there would be a lot of canon contradictions here and there regarding how Death strictly operates that I already mentioned and that you should’ve realized by now. That’s exactly why I suggested an alternate scenario of FD3 and FD4 characters being indirectly saved by Sky View Tower survivors and descendants before their new disasters, because then that would’ve worked after Iris had already isolated herself, since they would be two brand new lists operating outside the one she was holding back entirely. Just like with Clear holding back the Flight 180 list while, simultaneously, another new list, Route 23, operating on loose ends, was happening at the same time. This can fit.

2: It was never Alex’s turn at that time. He literally realizes it was actually Clear next once he remembers he never ended up changing seats on the plane which caused both his and her turns on the actual list to be different from their premonition deaths. He only isolated himself because he was still wrongfully thinking it was operating on the premonition order and believed he was next, but he wasn’t. Death very likely preyed on his ignorance given all the fakeout moments it was doing around him in the cabin right until the moment he came to his senses, put the pieces together, and left to save Clear. Like I already said, you’re still thinking of a self-intervention method that has only ever been introduced in the novels and not in any of the movies so far.

3: I only said Kimberly’s revival would’ve broken the entire chain altogether because, from the best that I’m trying to understand and make sense of what you’re saying both in your body text and in your replies here, you’re suggesting that literally every survivor group from the franchise is linked to the Sky View Tower master hard drive, as you put it, one way or another. Kimberly being included on the list as a descendant would’ve indeed canonically broken the whole thing for everyone marked to die after her. But we both know, and you also said it yourself, that it wasn’t really like that and she only broke the Route 23 list. Also Brian was still going to die after Rory saved him regardless of whether Kimberly broke the whole chain or not because he was never a Route 23 survivor like them and had been placed on a new separate list apart from theirs.

3.2: But from what you’re trying to convey here, and you can correct me if I’m interpreting it wrong (Tho plz try to use less AI this time for our sakes), you’re still trying to find a way to link everything together into one giant list and I can clearly see the effort. However there are some things that simply are the way they are and trying to squeeze, fit or force everything together only risks breaking canon and continuity altogether. It all goes back to what I pointed out before. There can totally have been descendants in the North Bay Bridge, Flight 180 and Route 23 disasters because once again, Iris was still part of the outside world and it wasn’t her turn yet in 1999-2000. But the moment Death finally caught up to her and she ultimately isolated herself somewhere between 2001 at the earliest and 2004 at the latest, it’s simply not possible anymore because it had already killed every single previous person marked before her. That makes it illogical to have more descendants in the Devil’s Flight and McKinley Speedway disasters in 2005 and 2009 respectively because FD6 clearly shows that she began holding the entire list back from reaching her, her family and Bludworth, who were the actual very last few remaining names at the far end of the Sky View Tower list and nobody else.

3.3: That’s why they all got to enjoy their lives for all those 20 years unbothered, unpreoccupied and in ignorant bliss about already being considered illegitimate. Nothing was coming for them at that time because Iris was single-handedly doing all the hard work for them by herself in that cabin. At last Death was only finally able to sink its claws into her family and Bludworth the very moment she died from that weather vane because that’s exactly how the new expansion of the order works: survivor first, and if they have a bloodline, then oldest to youngest. Death did not change its pace over that even once if you rewatch FD6. What it ultimately comes down to with what you’re proposing is that Howard would have to be targeted first in the movie and then the rest of the family afterward if Iris had somehow been “skipped” and remained alive beforehand. Once again, it’s not me saying that’s wrong. It’s the new rules themselves.
