10 Stupid Decisions Made By Saw Characters

10. John Rescues Logan - Jigsaw

2017's Jigsaw is perhaps the most divisive entry in the Saw franchise. Why, I hear you ask? Well, to put it simply, Jigsaw acts as a large and very convenient retcon and presents John Kramer in a very different way, which feels out of character.

With the reveal that our new "Jigsaw" is mild-mannered medical examiner Logan Nelson, as an audience we are eager to discover his backstory and ties to the infamous killer.

But the explanation leaves a lot to be desired, as we learn Logan once mixed up John Kramer's X-rays which led to Kramer's cancer being missed and becoming terminal. Consequently, Logan found himself in a Jigsaw trap for his carelessness.

But in a truly baffling turn, the usually cold and merciless John Kramer has an attack of conscience and rescues Logan before he can succumb. Subsequently John takes Logan under his wing and mentors him to be his eventual successor.

If there's one thing John Kramer can do, it's hold a grudge. So to say that this decision is out of character is an understatement. Why would he suddenly forgive an "honest mistake" that ended his own life?

It all seems very convenient and somewhat clumsy, and one can't help but think it may have been for the best if Logan was left in the trap.
