Note
The comparative belongs to the literal meanings, where there really can be more blood: a bloodier shirt, or a bloodier war with more bloodshed in it. The y of bloody turns to i before -er. When bloody is the mild British intensifier, it only adds emphasis, so it is not normally compared, and bloodier is read as a statement about blood, not about annoyance.
