Alternativly, the 'dork' in question has had the Note for a while and doesn't have a 'cause' or pursuers to keep things interesting, so they're getting a bit bored.You then get into the god-complex suggestion below for the survivors. Or the original "accidents" targeted specific people, allowing for the possibility of others not named in the Note to escape them.Never underestimate the human capacity for being seriously twisted. Under this assumption, does it mean that some people have discovered ways to evade the power of the Death Note (through premonition), or that this dork is a truly sick mind, giving people visions to give them the false hope of escape? Let's run with that theory for a second.Some dork in the US has obviously gotten his own Death Note and is getting his chuckles by trying to see what are the most over-complicated ways he can kill someone.
Because the writer was inspired by the episode "Twenty-two" from The Twilight Zone (1959) and wanted to expand the story into a full length movie.Either Grimmy is bored with normal death, and is screwing with the vision-bearer just to cause the Rube Goldbergian deaths and get a chuckle, or he has no idea that the visions even exist, and ends up getting caught with his scythe up his pelvis when the supposed victims avoid their fate.
If death wants them all to die so bad, why not just give them a lethal disease?.To quote Dave Lister, "If Death comes anywhere near me, I'll rip his nipples off".Who says it's their time? The protagonists cheated death once.It's like people with terminal diseases, many realize there's nothing they can do about it and accept their fate this is the same, you know you're gonna die, you can't do anything about it, so accepting is probably the healthiest choice. If you're meant to die before 30, that's how long you'll live. You might think it's too short, but it's not. That's not how it works, your time comes when it comes. I think the idea is that people feels that they were dying ahead of time.
Just because I know I'll die someday doesn't mean I'd just sit there if a bus was bearing down on me or my house was on fire. Additionally, everyone dies but a lot of those people die peacefully in bed.
