#okay i say stop making more saw movies but i wouldn't mind a spiral 2

[jambling]

the thing about spiral is that William is obsessed with a version of zeke that doesn't exist, and he kind of learns that through the film. He's idolized Zeke for years, the cop who saved his life, the detective who took a stand and exposed the corruption surrounding his fathers death, the man who is treated so unfairly by the system that is supposed to protect people. and then he meets zeke and he is bitter and an asshole about it, hes misogynistic, he raids a guys appartment without a warrant and commits police brutality on him to get information, and william is so deep in it that he just can't see it as a negative thing, because zeke is perfect in his eyes.

one of Zeke's redeeming qualities is that throughout it all, he sincerely tries to save everyone he can. and THATS the one thing that dissapoints William! he is so convinced that he's doing the right thing that he genuinely cannot understand why Zeke would try to help Dunleavy. he sees it as Zeke failing his test.

i feel like zeke would never want to be partners with william. he wouldn't be able to handle putting people, no matter how much they suck, into death traps.

sooner or later William is going to see Zeke for who he is and not just as an idolized savior, he's going to realize that he spent 15 years molding himself to please a person who doesn't exist
