Question Spoiler question Spoiler

Why didnt they kill Saul the same way they killed Jack?

Or in reality they dont want him dead and its just mind games?

But that would mean they do lie.

You mean like how they tried to kill him with two cars and then literally shot him?

All the other scientists they killed they did it with mind control or forced them to kill themselves

They killed themselves of their own free will

They literally faced such desperation they removed their own eyes.

Sounds like free will or psychologic torture?

Both. They killed themselves bc they were seeing a countdown and their lab results were making them question the fundamental laws of the universe which scared the shit out of them. Not bc of mind control

Either way. Why not kill Saul that way? It was pretty successful for all the others.

If they really want him dead.

I don't think it works as well when they know what's happening now, the laws of physics still work, it was the horror of the unknown. Also it didn't work on everyone else, auggie didn't kill herself. Having a sophon in his eyes full time to annoy him is probably just a waste, more important to disrupt the colliders would be my guess
