The Use of Race in the Final Destination Series?


The Use of Race in the Final Destination Series?

Now, I hate when people point out race in movies because it's usually *beep* and this is absolutely the first time I have ever pointed such a plot point out, but it's definitely interesting in this case.

Something I noticed about the Final Destination series... and please don't think me racist for noticing this, I just find it intriguing that all the white characters are clueless excerpt for the one who has the premonition. Question, has a Black character in this franchise ever had the premonition? I don't think so, but the Black characters are always the most wise about what's going on concerning the big picture from the jump.

Tony Todd in Part 1
Terrence 'T.C.' Carson in Part 2

They explain everything to the others in a creepy way, that I find peculiar... if anything the movie might be using race a little more than people realize.

Anyway, just something to think about. I'll be watching the rest of the series to see if that trend continues...

Huh? The black guy in this one was freaking out more than anyone else.
