What Happened to Amanda in the Early Saw Movies?

InSaw, Amanda has a small role but for what is aniconic horror movie moment.
The only features exposed on her face are her eyes, wide and panicking.
While shes been treated with the antidote, in no way does that mean shes immune from harm.
A sick and desperate John travels to Mexico for a risky and experimental medical procedure in hopes of a miracle cure for his cancer only to discover the entire operation is a scam to defraud the most vulnerable.
This friction gets worse after she kidnaps a doctor, unable to see the bigger plot unfolding.
While John Kramer expresses himself with words,Amanda chooses terror to get her point across.
John needs emergency brain surgery and Amanda stares in fear of seeing her mentor with exposed grey matter.
She ends up getting killed and Kramer is killed not long after.
Due to their deaths, later appearances of John and Amanda are limited toflashbacks.
Unlike Hoffman, those two felt very human, which helps the early movies feel grittier.
How Does ‘Saw X’ Bring Back John and Amanda?
John is frail, his shaky hands trying to steady as he looks over his last will.
So your advice for me is to die easy?

he asks a doctor, who doesnt know what else to say.
With no options left for help, John eagerly accepts a miracle cure surgery down in Mexico.
He finds out too late hes been scammed, relapsing from gaining hope to living in bitterness.
TheSawbody countis about to earn some new numbers.
Amanda helps apprehend the new subjects and there are signs the apprentice is straying from the mentors plans.
John may be bitter, but he’s reserved too.
He fixes the bike of a young boy when he cant sleep on the day of the planned surgery.
When he gets upset, he collects himself.
Amanda, meanwhile, is blunt and highly reactive.
She tells a victim about the consequence of losing their game, The cliff notes version?
Its going to cut your head off.
She tasers another victim in his face when he swears at her.
Looking out at the terrified faces, she already picks the ones she believes arent worth being tested.
John and Amanda are united by Jigsaw, the man and method, but they cant hide their differences.
John goes through many emotional ordeals inSaw X.
Putting the fake surgery side, he acknowledges his borrowed time with Amanda.
They do this to fool someone watching nearby, but its obvious the emotions are from a real place.
They are as much a mentor and apprentice as they are a surrogate father and daughter.
Shes a perfect villain for theSawfranchise.
He arrives at the factory, fooling John and Amanda into trapping themselves and freeing Cecilia.
She wants John to experience the pain of knowing hes causing the boys suffering.
In each of these moments,John and Amanda look at her in disgust.
Cecilia only cares for her well-being, which is what John counts on.
Having Amanda and himself be caught is exactly what he hoped would happen.
We need to call Jigsaw out for what he truly is.
John thinks five steps ahead, creating backup plans that make him a brilliant mastermind.
Amanda, on the other hand, doesnt have the skill or patience to think ahead.
