REMEMBER ! Saw X is between 1 and 2 . John was too SOFT in Saw X . Amanda was soft too but she was a “ newbie”.

She aged in the 10 years since saw 1?!?! Mind blowing

​@@velvetafterglow This movie takes place very short after Saw 1, so this comment is irrelevant. And this was a joke to begin with.

@@Megawaps just bc its a prequel dont mean it was filmed at the same time also its a dogshit joke

Well. She probably means "This" like ready to be without John

@benmunn7593 Even John had given up on her.

I remember, when I came back to my father after an abusive relationship that lead me to Florida and back to Minnesota due to my father needing a pacemaker, that I had a conversation with him. I visited him every. Single. Day, after recovery and even before his surgery. I broke down crying, the son who had grown to 18 and didn't know what to do without my father who I had just been able to be with after I had turned eighteen and hadn't seen him for 5 years due to my mother keeping me from him. After I was home to see him and be with my father, I broke down crying when he was writing down, in a pamphlet they gave him (due to his age) before he went into surgery, "what I want done with my body after death". I couldn't imagine what I would do after he died, because I had not seen my father for five long years, save for a trip I made to see him despite my mother's complaints. I broke down sobbing. My father asked me, "What's wrong, Son?" I said, crying, "I don't know what I'm gonna do when you're gone, Dad... what am I gonna do when you're gone? I haven't spent a whole half-decade with you, and now that this is happening, I'm scared to lose you..." Dad told me, with that ol' growl of a sigh he used to do, "Ah, Honey, you'll be fine without me. You'll be sad, but you'll be okay. You're my Son. I know you will be okay." Dad was right. 💚 I was okay. But it still doesn't hurt any less.

@StonerBaer I'm 50 and have both my parents, and thank God for it everyday. I've had a lot of loss, including my only sibling, in 1998. I use that to try and appreciate what I have. Thank you for sharing your story.

Saw 3 is almost 20 years old, of course they're going to look older! Thing is, given that it's been almost 20 years, they both still look INCREDIBLE

​@abeltesfaye_ I'm glad they just did some makeup and let it stand on the performances rather than try some distracting deaging effect. I saw Shawnee talk about this live, she said she was happy about it turning out the way it did, and said the budget wouldn't have allowed for much else anyway.

Ok?

its been 20 years, its natural they will look older

​@@Autumn_x2yeah, but on events that was suppose to take place before Saw 3 & 4, make it make sense

I couldn't agree more. Amanda had nothing but sympathy for Gabriella, someone she never wanted to be in the games in the first place. To see her die must've shook Amanda to the core.

Cause Amanda also was a drug addict too, she did a lot of terrible things bc of it so she understands why Gabriella participated in the scam, too bad Gabriella died even after she passed her test :/

Honk honk

Lmao

Mais amanda foi ameaçada pelo detetive mark hoffman por isso ela fracassou nos jogos dela, ela teria sido uma peça perfeito nos jogos

Yet another mistake Amanda made by refusing to listen. She really could've saved Gabriela, but made her go third and failed.

Ceilia would have killed Gabriella anyway. She was a loose end.

There's a huge gap in her character development between Saw II and III which had her go from loyal, compassionate apprentice, to extremely unstable.

@@darththork99that’s the point of her character, she’s supposed to be mentally ill but still has some humanity deep inside, she was never meant to be a total psycho with no empathy

this was before saw 2 where her character took a turn for the worse due to her experience as an apprentice

Dude we are not eliminating anything from canon, this is not Halloween movies

personally i think in saw 3 she’s so mean because it’s literally the worst day of her life. john is dying and lowkey antagonizing her the whole movie, i also believe she has bpd or something similar that’s making her act out like she hasn’t in the other movies! idk to each their own it just seems to me like she’s scared and trapped so she’s acting out and protecting her “father” :)

Why did he hold her face

They are like a surrogate father/daughter pair mixed with a bit of master/disciple relationship

@@AnnaliseJeannette just to comfort her

@@AnnaliseJeannetteBECAUSE HE’S PAPA SAW

As if to say I got this covered the plan will work

I love Amanda too, it was the main reason I edited her scenes! However, I do believe she was too dependant on John and did not truly believe in the redemption and rebirthing that John believed in, which is why she rigged games. Even in this movie she states that Cecilia doesn't deserve to live, but John corrects her. I'm sad John had to put her in another test but I believe he saw it as essential to her being the perfect one to carry on his legacy.

@@MissLuminosityand i think she was John’s sentimental favorite apprentice. He seemed so heartbroken and fatherly disappointed when Amanda failed the final test.

@@MissLuminositywhile there are valid points made here, it’s important to remember that John is no better than her-his intense moral hypocrisy prevents him from seeing it, but he’s a murderer. And further, Amanda Young, an unstable victim of abuse and eventual torture, was led to follow the leader of a ‘movement’ that, more or less, promised her salvation or purpose. John doesn’t have the qualifications or expertise to work with someone recovering from drug addiction and severe abuse. Becoming absolutely dependent and reliant on him was 100% accurate to those sorts of behaviors, and he was responsible for handling it.
