The two victims of the first movie, Adam and Dr Gordon, have very little connections to Kramer himself. Gordon was the oncologist who diagnosed Kramer/Jigsaw with cancer, and was cold/uncaring. Kramer’s investigation later revealed that he’s cheating on his wife, and said wife hired Adam, a photographer, to get evidence.
The second movie, most victims are “wasting their lives”, plus a bunch of violent criminals, and of course, the (corrupt) lead detective’s son.
The third movie revolves around a boy’s death - his parents, the drunk driver who killed him, the judge who went easy on him, a witness who refused to testify, etc.
Saw IV: yet another group of “life wasters” plus Kramer’s business partner who screwed him over.
Saw V: a bunch of people whose negligence caused a deadly building fire.
Saw 3D: a fake Jigsaw survivor who’s cashing in on the lie and all the people enabling him
2017 movie: criminals and their enablers
But you’re not entirely wrong. The first actual murder/test Kramer did was revenge on the junkie whose actions led to the miscarriage of Kramer’s son. His wife, however, dies later, AFTER Kramer himself has already died.
I only vaguely remember, but wasn’t everyone he killed supposed to be connected to his wife’s death somehow.
Edit: it was actually his kid I was thinking of. I marathon watched them all years ago and never felt the need to watch again
No, not at all.

New word! googles
Dammit, it’s just a new typo not a new word.

Thanks for the writeup. I will never watch these, but it’s neat to be aware of what might be in the zeitgeist right now.
