#saw vi

Just watched saw 3D for the first time and having come from watching saw VI, it’s so jarring bc Hoffman is NOT the same character in those two movies

Saw 3D’s characterization of Hoffman as a violence-loving, inhuman monster is crazy because didn’t V and VI take explicit care to portray him as an otherwise normal guy who did something brutal out of grief and got dragged unwillingly into the rest of it?

Don’t you see shots of Hoffman nearly crying when he watches Seth- the scummy neonazi who got off on a technicality after he murdered his baby sister- die? Or when he openly sheds tears over having to kidnap paul? Is he not shown to be openly disturbed by strahm’s crushing?

When John asks if he likes how brutality feels, it’s ironic because like any normal person he very clearly doesn’t!

Both John and Amanda are MUCH less disturbed by the idea of being brutal to regular, run of the mill people because they genuinely see each game as a step towards growth or redemption (even if Amanda clearly has a tendency to project onto people or decide some people aren’t redeemable) but the only people Hoffman likes to target are predators, domestic abusers, child murderers, corrupt officials, etc. because he can only see the traps as what they are- open brutality- and those are the only people he can bring himself to be so violent towards.

Had he not gone after Seth Baxter, or had he gone after him in any other way than the one he did, Hoffman would probably be a run of the mill, normal guy! Even in his job, he’s not a little freak like Rigg or Matthews, he just does his job like a normal person.

It genuinely didn’t even occur to him to fess up to Baxter’s murder, even though it’s very clear his coworkers would have thought the guy deserved it and pulled rank to cover up his crime.

So the stupid “shoot first” scene in 3D is, to me, a horrendous mischaracterization!

"Yeah, so apparently while mom and Rodrick were at the zoo, they got kidnapped and Rodrick killed a man."

[ID: The scene at the end of Saw VI where William Easton gets dissolved by acid, drawn in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid style. Brent and Tara Abbott are replaced by Rodrick and Mom Heffley respectively. William looks resigned with the bottom half of his body turned into goop. End ID.]

so I was scrolling the saw wiki and did you guys know that hoffman has 14 listed enemies. this is incredible because a: hoffman has 63 minutes of screen time across the entire series, meaning that he makes a new enemy roughly every 4.5 minutes he spends on screen. you could not finish the 5 minute typing test in the time it takes for detective “mark” hoffman to make a new enemy. it’s also hilarious because b: john kramer has 4, which means that hoffman somehow managed to piss off 3 times as many people as john, despite having almost 10 minutes less screentime and also you know. everything about john.
