Is this still called "justice"?

It's not easy for Chainsaw to make an eighth film as a thriller, and the eighth chapter has also become the final chapter of the series.
In fact, when I first started watching this series, I didn't quite understand what it meant to convey. But with the deepening of each film, the whole main line gradually became clear in front of my eyes, and step by step, the so-called "justice" of the protagonist John Krammer was revealed.
From the first part, John used a special method to lock up some wrongdoers and let them play death games. To be honest, John's original intention was to make me cry. He was diagnosed with cancer himself, so he felt the shortness and beauty of life, and he came up with this method in order to let those who were born in blessings ignorant of blessings cherish life. However, everything seems to have changed. It seems that John is no longer the hero who kills the people. His methods for the imprisoned are more and more cruel. In order to continue his jigsaw name, he even accepts disciples and turns those pure fallen into murderers without blinking an eye. the devil. Some people may think this is "cool", but think about those prisoners who have not suffered inhuman torture, whether mentally or physically, have been destroyed without exception; and those "disciples" ”, all of them are ghosts who have died once, and all of them are reborn from blood. John himself thinks it's fair, but others see him as an outright murderous demon.
The eighth part only revealed the truth of John's cancer. It turned out that his doctor made a mistake in his x-ray. If John himself knew the truth in advance, maybe so many people would not have died. Using lynching to resolve public indignation to private grievances and revenge, the starting point of this practice itself is completely wrong. But after all, this is just a movie, and the use of exaggerated techniques is acceptable. Perhaps, the original intention of the screenwriter is to reflect the self-righteous people in life who think that what they do is right. In fact, "justice" doesn't need to do great things, as long as you don't do things that hurt others and help others in time when they need help, it's enough.
Many people say that this is a sequel to the dog's tail, but in my opinion, the eighth part is just the finishing touch. It strung all the first seven films together, giving people a feeling of sudden realization, and at the same time expressing the original intention of this film vividly. I hope the so-called "justice" will not appear again. The world is so big that it cannot be changed by oneself.
