He was that waiter. But he forgot that when he said "enjoy your meal," you replied "thanks, you too" and have therefore suffered enough.

And that waiter?

And everyone clapped.

Because if they didn't, a giant boulder would roll over the bus Indiana Jones style since they dared to flip of passing drivers.

He has a point

In a sense I agree with him. You shall be judged by how you treat people who have limited means of retaliation. Like throwing garbage at homeless people, screaming at waiters/waitresses, meaningless petty acts towards retail workers. Fuck you. You are literally going out of your way to make another persons life worse.

Over reaction just keeps the hate ball rolling.

[–] hoch@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

If anything, this might be an under-reaction

I didn't get it until absolutely everything is going wrong + no sleep, I had this weird urge to just be really mean to people who didn't deserve it at all. I didn't act on it but I can see why people would do it now.

[–] vrek@programming.dev 6 points 1 week ago

Yes you can be in a bad mood, but you just said it... I you didn't act on it.

I fucking hate the torture porn films. I love supernatural and psychological horror.

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

Amen to that. I wish torture porn could be uninvented. I am indifferent to gore but it has to be in service of the story. The story shouldn't be in service of the gore.

Wait, Jigsaw is an old guy? I thought he was a doll.

[–] TheKaul@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Basically the reason Saw is doing the crazy shit is because he's an old guy with cancer and his health insurance said he's too old to get care so they're just gonna let him die. So he starts taking it out on people that are/could be related to the reason he was denied health insurance (in the 1st one I think it's his doctor?)

At least that's how I recall the story

[–] Meatwagon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

He also targeted people who took life granted, like those with multiple suicide attempts. Which evidently cured them afterwards??

One of the plot points in one of the later movies is that he was too sick to keep doing it so a copy cat started it, but they were selecting innocent people which pissed him off and he killed them.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 week ago

So he is like a shit Luigi?

So he realises he has enough funds to organise a dispirit group of strangers into a kill chamber, and does that instead of using it to fund cancer treatment either in the USA or elsewhere.

By "targeting people who take life for granted," saw is a hypocrite!

[–] Nangijala@feddit.dk 8 points 1 week ago

the doll is just his avatar. He is indeed an old guy who is dead for most of the franchise because the writers wrote themselves into a corner early on. The first Saw movie is still a solid film with a pretty awesome twist at the end. Everything that came after the first one is just increasingly ridiculous nonsense.

Most relatable villain of all time
