Who Had Their Deaths Coming?

[Repo]

Obviously... morality is a major theme in the franchise, and it's a popular notion to debate over who deserved to get killed/be put in a trap and who really, really did not. Thought it might make for an interesting discussion to see where people fell on the topic?

Alternatively, who DIDN'T have their deaths coming; this list is just a fuuuuck of a lot longer and felt like a wonkier title.

I mean Rigg is an idiot but his test is, literally, “You try to save people too much! Stop it!” He shouldn’t have even been tested let alone killed. 

Offing a lawyer for doing his job is kinda questionable too.

I’ll preface this by saying I’m opposed to what Jigsaw does and stands for in general. I do not believe in torture or vigilante justice. Now then, some people probably did bring some major bad karma. I certainly didn’t feel BAD for the people below:

2: Xavier. I’ll go so far to say the death is completely warranted given it’s self-defense
3: Amanda and John
4: Most the minor victims: prostitute who tried to murder Rigg, rapist, and child abuser didn’t inspire much sympathy for me
5: Brit/Luba/Charles/Seth definitely didn’t really inspire sympathy. Though Brit lived
6: Not sure I’d say he deserved to die given I think William redeemed himself, but my first read on him was “Scumbag.” So..... dude let people die to make a profit. He grew past it but I didn’t feel bad when he first got tested by any means. Also Brent, but he didn’t die. Debbie too.
7: Hoffman. Also Joyce because I will never forgive Gina Holden for Harper’s Island (but Joyce didn’t actually do anything)
Jigsaw: Anna by leaps and bounds. Mitch and Carly brought it on themselves too, as did Halloran

Lemme just ditch the spoiler tags cause it's a pain, anyone entering a death thread is making their bed tbh...

Rigg is defo an idiot so he doesn't deserve it, but he also is the reason Eric dies because of his own stupidity. I won't say he deserves to die, but lorde. I forget the lawyer but I thought they pretty much openly knew the person was guilty and took the case anyway? May be wrong. 

2. Defo agree
3. Defo.
5. They all were really horrible people. I felt bad for Mallick
6. William didn't really deserve to die, he learned his lesson. 
7. Hoffman defo deserved it. 
Jigsaw: agreed with those.

[Boy Interrupted]

Yeah, I agree with William redeeming himself. The kid can suffer all the trauma in the world for that.

[TheCheetahwings]

The kid was so annoying. Imagine being so dumb as to take the chance to kill someone in a jigsaw trap where you'd be exposed even if you survived.

Wasn’t the lawyer public defender? Did he get to veto taking these cases? Or was he private? True that @ Rigg Though.

5: Mallick thought that building was completely empty. Not right, but not exactly “You deserve to die”-worthy. He seemed to be the only person to take accountability as well. I abstained on Ashley since we didn’t see much of her.

6: Agreed. My point was more that he probably brought the testing on himself. I even said he redeemed himself so I wouldn’t say he deserved to die, but I don’t think either of us felt bad when he first ended up in a trap.

[TheCheetahwings]

I genuinely forget tbh @ public defender. If he really was, then he defo didn't deserve to die.

Mallick was really sympathetic. I can't believe we used to hate him tbh.

I defo didn't feel bad for him, though to a degree I did. I think it just was a great showcase of how little Jigsaw really cares about morals and learning and that hes a fraud.
