in a better movie, george would be the protagonist of final destination 4. he has a far more developed character than Nick, an actual backstory, he has some pretty serious moments too, with his alcoholism and the racism levelled at him. even psychologically, being responsible for the death of your wife and child clear takes an immense toll on him. he's a better character, and i think he would have led the movie in a more interesting way than poor ol bobby campo.

nick o'bannon is sooooo just some guy like literally he was the protagonist of the movie and we know nothing about him. literally all we know about him is that he drinks mountain dew in bed, drives an old car and likes his girlfriend 'in sneaks'.

[lucindarobinsonvevo]

it's kind of shoddily executed, but i think that the friends in FD4 are meant to have significant wealth -- but not Nick. If you look at Janet's home when she calls Lori after the racist is killed, she has these satin bedsheets, and a dozen pillows. her dog is on the bed with her, her room looks huge, she has a tv in there. she drives a fancy car with a sunroof. she has clothes that need dry cleaning. Hunt dies at a literal country club, he dresses like a frat guy, he had $500 on a crash at the race track and takes 'golf camps.'

Lori and Nick have a nice home, it's clearly a house, they have a xbox 360, they have tons of random clutter, cds, two televisions, but...Nick drives a beat up toyota. the wall art is feminine. the photos are mostly of Lori, she seems to be putting UP photos of her and Nick in the film. unlike the other characters, Nick's clothing are fine, but not stylish and certainly not 'new'. i feel like he probably moved into Lori's place with his old car, and his beat up guitar rather than also being some kind of co-owner and she has some wealthy family who are paying for her house.

not sure where this is going. just enjoy analysing the bobby campo torment nexus film.

i have to rewatch (might do a full rewatch actually) fd4 to really articulate why i loved it so much so it'll take some time to get back to you on that one but in the meantime...

first, yes, i absolutely loved Wendy :)))

second, i really want to hear more of your thoughts on Nick & Death! i got the impression from your response that there's a lot more that you found fascinating and i would love to hear it :)

cheering and screaming rn yes YES! Wendy is MY final girl of all time!

This is kind of a long-winded answer so please bare with me. One thing that plays on my mind about Nick's second vision, is that he...doesn't die. Janet dies after being impaled and nail-gunned and Lori gets eaten by an escalator but Nick...I mean he's in a bad position on the escalator, but not one that's unsurvivable. Kind of like Wendy (team wendy lives btw), except her second vision ended upon her death, and the sequence that would lead to the train crash had already started by the time she realized what was going on. She didn't really have a chance to save herself, or anyone else. At best, she could be aware that the second train was coming, and flatten herself to the tracks, or otherwise somehow move out of the way.

Nick's second vision is entirely different. It takes place at a whole second location after Gary's death. Nick had the vision at the hospital, and then drives to the mall to try and save Lori and Janet (and im glad he did. getting nailed to the wall...iconic...) and there's no reality where he isn't going to try and save Lori, the movie makes it explicitly clear that they are very much in love. BUT technically speaking, he didn't have to. He could have not gone to the mall, he could have i don't know...driven out of town and done literally anything else. I don't believe Nick was fated to die at the mall, I think this was him explicitly disrupting Death's plan to, for reasons I will expand upon in a second, separate him from Lori and Janet -- And that's why Death takes the unusual measure of interacting with him directly via nailing him to the wall, to literally watch Lori and Janet die. It's like death is saying, you know, this is your fault, see what happens when you meddle in my plans? kind of thing. Death really really hates Nick. More so than the other visionaries I think.

So, i wonder what IS death's plan for Nick, if it's not for him to die at the Mall? why does he want him separated from Lori and Janet? I do have kind of a far out theory, if you care to hear it. I think Nick is actually more 'powerful' than the previous visionaries, and that's why it seems like death can communicate to him in a more direct manor than he did with the others. I also think that perhaps Clear (if she did die, also team clear lives, btw) or Alex is sending Nick visions from beyond the grave which i KNOW sounds like I'm reading way too much into this silly teen slasher movie and I AM but you know me. I love to discourse and I love to analyse. The reason I think that it's Alex Specifically is the connection to the name Clear Rivers triggers a vision in Nick, and Clear herself doesn't have any physic powers -- as it would seem -- While Alex DOES.

If I had to guess upon what plan it is that Nick interrupted, I would take a cue from the title of the movie. The Final Destination. I think Death's plan was to separate Nick from Lori and Janet, and on his own now and presuming he doesn't just like. kill himself. without Lori, Nick's a college student, obviously he's got at least a passing interest in research, as did Lori as seen earlier in the movie when they had info about Flight 180 in their little packet of documents they made for Hunt and Janet. I mean, it seems kind of natural to me for him to try and find the other visionaries.

and some may say 'huh, that seems a little far fetched, Mitzi' but i don't think it is! Both films take place in McKinley Pennsylvania, so it's likely he has heard about Wendy's premonition/the Devil's Flight incident. I think it's perfectly reasonable that Wendy's intervention somehow affected the lives of Nick and friends, plus Gary, the Racist, Cowboy man and the Hot Milf. I actually think it's even hinted at in the movie that the characters have escaped death once before when Gary talks about how he nearly died in the car accident that killed his family. How Wendy could have affected that...I don't know for sure. It could even be possible, imo, for Gary to have been one of the drivers in the highway incident from the second film, but that's just my silly little hc on the matter. So, I don't think it's impossible for Nick to find at LEAST Wendy, but also Clear and Kimberly too. In the deleted scenes from FD3, it's shown that Death is still after Kimberly and Burke as they either die in a wood chipper incident (could have been SO iconic) or are seen getting onto the train with Wendy. They were only spared by the actors being unable to come back and film the train scenes.

Also - Final Destination 2 was about cleaning up loose ends from Final Destination 1, so why couldn't Final Destination 4 be about cleaning up loose ends from Final Destinations past?

To recap. I think that Bobby Campo (Nick) has some kind of powerful psychic ability leagues above the other visionaries in the series which is why Death (and who/whatever is sending the visions) can interact with him more closely, more like Alex than Wendy. Death doesn't want Nick to die at the mall, he just wants to kill Lori and Janet in the hopes that Nick will round up the other survivors and send the last of the lose ends to the final destination. Nick has an exceptionally powerful vision, and instead interferes with death's plan, putting himself in the line of danger when he wasn't meant to be. As punishment, Death takes extra measures to ensure Nick can't interfere with his plan only to fail at the final inning when Nick activates the fire sprinklers.

Back into analysis now sorry.

At the end of the movie, Nick says 'what if we didn't change anything?' before being hit by the truck (which tbh...Also team Nick Lives btw) because I don't think changed anything! HE was meant to die there getting hit by a truck, but so where the other loose ends in the form of Kimberly and Wendy. Nick has no visions about the truck, although he does notice 'signs. Perhaps, now that Clear is safe, Nick is no longer receiving Visions from Alex. Maybe it's like Matilda and the vision he had before was so powerful it basically took them from him. Maybe Death has found a way to stop them. Or, perhaps the previous vision was so powerful it wiped ALEX of his powers and he can no longer send Nick a message through visions and he can just scratch it into the table. I don't think that was Alex, though. I think it's too spiteful, and the final message comes from Death himself, furious that his conduit has intervened and accidentally protected the other survivors. Death isn't just coming for Nick O'Bannon anymore. IT'S HERE.

AND THAT is my analysis of Death and Bobby Campo in the fourth Final Destination film. THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT
