Didnt care for Jigsaws portrayal

It was extremely weird to have heartwarming moments involving Jigsaw, this maniacal sinister force, with people he actually cares about. It’s like watching Hitler pet a dog.

And it doesnt fit the continuity of the lore. So let me get this straight - innocent kid in Saw X shouldnt be tested, but you put a kid that is MAYBE 5 years older tops in a game in Saw 2? A game where hes slowly breathing poisonous air that will kill him? All because hes the son of the man being tested in Saw 2?

Hearing the Hello Zepp part was nostalgic though, so theres that. Then its ruined by the two lunatics walking out of the building, holding hands with aforementioned kid, with a fade to white. WTF? A FADE TO WHITE WITH THE HISTORICAL ANTAGONISTS HOLDING HANDS WITH A KID?

People slam on Jigsaw and Spiral (most do have their merits for complaints), however at least the endings felt more Saw-like than Saw X's ending.

Yeah. This movie was lame. The first half was pretty decent, though.

Signed, million man.

I thought they did a good job of demonstrating John to be a knowing hypocrite, like when he gets bad news from the radiologist and immediately fantisizes someone in a trap. I also like the part where he throws away his schematic on the rack when he thinks he is in remission.

Up until this point I didn't know if he was deluded or if the tumor in his brain hurt his sense of reality. I think he is very clearly a villain and hypocrite and I take the part with the kid to show that he is arbitrary. He arbitrarily likes the kid here but not the teenager or the young daughter.

I do agree about the Cube 1 type ending that was cheesy and I'm not sure if that was an attempt at irony.
