Jason still remembers his mama, and still kills for her (which is evident in FvJ and even the reboot)& Pamela went on a murder spree at the very thought of her son dying. Either way, these two wouldn’t harm each other unless they were being tricked by someone like Freddy into believing they were killing someone else. From a purely physical point of view, Zombie Jason would win…but that really is a moot point.

I think a deeper analysis is that people see Jason as a masculine symbol of the visceral power of self-empowering homicide. We are a death culture. Our culture is motivated by death because it fears death. We fear 911, we fear more 911 type events, so we see soldiers and others of a masculine status as somehow the ideal man to be be. A sort of idol.

It becomes less of what they stand for, and more for the fact that they are a remorseless killing machine. When we look at the torture Americans engaged in, so many were offended NOT by the fact that the torture had taken place. They saw that as soldiers doing what they do. Instead, they were offended at the whistle-blowers for daring to release the photos and get these guys in trouble for “protecting us” by making prisons stack into naked pyramids…

Look at how our youth are either in gangs, or, are at home playing death simulators. Adult Swim is filled with violent media. And dark comedy and military shooters have taken over.

This is nothing new as any nation that slides toward a fascist state must militarize the youth. For it will be their job to carry out the dictates that come from the leader the cult personality that surrounds the leader.

Back to the point. I love Friday the 13Th because there is a point were violent media is acceptable and encouraged. I’m not one of those, “violent media causes violent kids.” That’s a loud of bs. My point is the love of violence of violence’s sake. Where some people respect Marines and the like for being killing machines, not guardians of the republic as they should be seen as and as they should (and many do) act as.

Jason isn’t a mindless killing machine. He is keenly aware of what he’s doing and why, as the films around Part 7 show. Which, again, is one the key things about Parts 11 and 12 is that they remind the audience why Jason kills. As is increasingly evident to me, many people forget why he kills if they aren’t reminded ever chapter.

To prize Jason, to aspire to him, as a killing machine is to disenfranchise what he is and what separates him from the dime a dozen killings machines that, frankly, kill a lot more gruesome now than Jason does.

It’s disturbing to see this trend as it indicates that people “have forgotten where they came from.” That they have forgotten the point. This happens far too much in politics and war. People forget that we shouldn’t be admiring death machines for their abilities to kill. We should admire people who can utilize force for the protection of freedoms and only then. That’s the difference between a nation of freedom and a nation-sized death-cult.

Jason would kill his mom so hard that she would have wished she got an abortion before Jason was born. But ya know what? Not even an abortion would have stopped Jason…he would just keep coming back.
