My favorite example of how BS Jigsaw’s victim choice is would probably be when he had an insurance guy go through a gauntlet of deciding which vaguely affiliated individuals would die, then when he’s “learned his lesson”, he’s killed when the widow and son of a man he denied insurance to don’t forgive him, so there was really no reason for ten or so vaguely affiliated innocent people to die horribly.

[@scottydog771]

@@ThawBerry in I think the 6th film the person you follow through the trap plot (the plot where someone plays through a series of death traps) is a health insurance broker. He creates a formula which tells the company he works for if it is monetarily beneficial to give them health insurance. (They say his job was basically to pick who lives and who dies) His death traps basically have him pick between people that worked for/with him and pick who lives and dies, as some of them had to die. In the end the twist is that a woman and her son that we've seen and are led to believe his wife and kid turn out to be the wife and kid of someone he denied health insurance to. They then have to decided whether he and his sister get to live and die. The kid then decides to not forgive him and kills them. All the people in the health insurance guy's death traps were basically unnecessary victims. Pretty sure one of them was just the janitor in the office they worked at

[@wrathybear]

@Swag Monke I think @Minecraft Monki is referring to the suicide attempt of John Kramer, wherein he derived inspiration for his death traps by pulling the pieces of the wrecked car he drove off a cliff after being diagnosed with cancer out of his body. He gained a newfound appreciation of life after the pain of surviving something that almost took his life, whereas everyone else is in traps specifically designed by Kramer.

[@ugxsan]

In his twisted mind, he believes that they've killed themselves. That he, himself, didn't pull the trigger as it was only for what he deemed being unappreciative of your life that he "had to" kidnap them. Obviously we know that's insane, but so is Kramer.

to be honest despite Jigsaw claiming to only hurt unworthy people the rules mat lays out is so restrictive. We are human beings and therefore fallible and able to do bad things. the rules are if you do anything bad whether or not its your fault you get capture. This selection is just unfair, you might as well pick random people off the street since everyone probably did something bad if you squint at it.

@@fexizp4272 so the 3 people that were in the traps that could’ve been saved were involved in the case of a murder. The murder victim was the son of the one being tested in the movie, and he has to choose whether or not to save the only witness to the act who refused to testify, letting the murderer have a lighter sentence, the judge, who only gave the murderer 6 months or something, and the murderer himself, who has been completely reformed and legitimately regrets everything regarding the murder.

I believe nothing would happen. The whole point is to weed the corrupted out so at the end he still wins. There would be no character development for Jigsaw.

[@orestisgeorgatos6725]

you misunderstand. he never picks people that do harm to themselves. He picks people that show little regard for other people’s lives. that’s his modus operandi, that’s what the junkie did, thats what amanda was, that was everyone he personally picked

[@AuntieHauntieGames]

@@orestisgeorgatos6725 Judging from his cult, yeah. He identifies people who have no regard for the lives of others and then uses his game to break down their psyches and indoctrinate them. A number of folk dooo manage to survive without also developing the trauma responses that indoctrinate them into his cult, but those are often the people he keeps coming back to. What he claims as his purpose and what is actually his purpose are two very different things.

Game over! The ending to saw one still gives me goosebumps

[@peppercornucopia_]

here's a couple more tips from someone who just finished binging the entire series: • If you wake up in a chair, don't stand up. Most of the traps that have the victim in chairs and allow them to stand up are started by a metal pin that is pulled out the moment you stand up. • Don't open or close any big doors. These doors will begin the next trap and will lock you out from the previous. Make sure you have all the materials you can gather before continuing. • To alleviate pain slightly, take a deep breath and quickly let it out before doing something that will hurt you. The breath out released endorphins, masking the pain slightly. • Talk with you teammates and get an understanding of the connection between you all ASAP. This will give you a hint on the theme of the traps and what you can do to survive.

[@minicloud737]

This goes along with the “listen intently and follow the rules” part but Through the Saw franchise I’ve learned that what Jigsaw says, sometimes he means literally. He will say something about “the key to freedom is in this bullet casing”, and he literally means a key is in there.

[@trash9378]

He didn't say it was literally in the shell. He said the gun held the key

[@PFEANYCS]

@@trash9378 that’s…what he’s saying. John said that, but the key was literally in there, so his words, though not being direct instructions, hold a literal meaning that if the characters realized, they could’ve fared way better

To be fair, chronologically, that was one of his first big traps, and the guy made a genuine mistake switching up his X-rays, unlike the majority of his 'victims' who acted with intent.

[@AHandleWasAlreadyTaken]

I mean he was unconscious because of jigsaw and that’s the small mistake

[@Irish_Georgia_Girl]

Are you talking about the movie "Jigsaw" that was the 8th installment? Where they had buckets on their heads and a guy was still unconscious from the sedative I guess he gives them all and the bucket was dragging him towards the saws? I'm pretty sure that's the one you're referring to. The reason John stopped that game was because he knew that guy wasn't going to wake up in time and would get clobbered by the blades. Now yes normally John might not care...but then again he may not matter what because the point of the game was to give them all a second chance. But in Logan's case (the guy with the bucket on his head) he stopped it not only because he was unconscious and couldn't fight for his survival but, he also realized Logan didn't even deserve to be there. He'd picked him out of anger because Logan was a Radiologist back then when John first started feeling 😊😊
