Is Jigsaw a Hero or Villain?
Warning - this article contains spoilers forSaw X.
What exactly led the team to create that scenario?
Is he an anti-hero?
Is he nothing to do with hero?
Is he just a pure villain?
And I think some of the magic of this franchise is that no one really knows the answer.
You know what I mean?
There’s just a lot of [nuances] going on with John Kramer.

Or maybe hes just a villain with relatively commendable boundaries.
Saw Xis now playing in theaters.
