* John Kramer (aka the Jigsaw Killer) in the Franchise/{{Saw}} movies has a very rigid moral compass. Unfortunately said moral compass is so incomprehensible that it's foreign to pretty much everybody except himself. He kidnaps people who (in his mind) are not appreciative of the life they've been given, places them in either a life or death situation or a booby trap and see if they have the will to survive it. And if they don't survive it, then in Kramer's mind, they apparently didn't want to live badly enough. Never mind that the solutions to said booby traps often rely on extremely painful self-mutilation like cutting off a body part. And if someone is lucky enough to survive one of his tests (of which there are not many), he considers them rehabilitated… ignoring all the psychological trauma they now have that will very likely make the problem that Kramer was trying to "fix" even worse. Throughout all the films, Kramer keeps insisting that he's not a killer. That being said, he does seem to genuinely believe that everybody deserves a second chance, as even when he tests people that have wronged him personally, he still puts them in a scenario they (theoretically) could survive.

* The titular game ''Film/{{Jumanji}}''. It’s a magical board game that unleashes various African creatures out in the real world. It will even send out things the players fear or mold Van Pelt after someone they love or fear. However, its actions are not outright malicious towards the players and seems to only do this to challenge the players and make the game more interesting. It also has warnings on the side panels informing potential players what they will encounter and promising to undo everything if someone wins. While its morality is ambiguous, it clearly hates cheating and will punish its players for it.
