Maybe Jasons supernatural powers came from him. And since Hes never been introduced to the series, I think itd be perfect. I think the only way to kill Jason has something to do with his dad Elias.

A legend about a vengeful curse on the irresponsibility of youth, excess, an attempt not to right a wrong, but to seek an eternal punishment on the guilty. Jason's vengance was a correction for the excesses of the 80's, society's own guilt and fear manifest as an unstoppable punisher.

FvJ was entertaining, looked awesome, and thru its broad appeal probably kept the character of Jason from dying off completely in the public eye. I mean, if you think the idea of Freddy vs Jason is good to begin with, your standards aren't that high anyway :P PS- why is eveyone on this site so down on Ronnie Yu?

That's why I liked part 5 so much. it showed that he was dead, but that "evil lives on". Trite but true. Jason was allowed to die as a child, and his mother wreaked vengeance. Jason avenged his mother, and was killed by the child of a mother he'd killed. Tommy probably should've picked up from there, but we have Roy. I think "the final chapter" was a great ending to the franchise, and part 5 was a great final nail in the coffin. It shouldve continued with Tommy, but whatev. Don't get me wrong, Parts 6 thru whatever are great, but I never felt like they were really a part of anything, kind of like how August Derleth wrote books under H.P. Lovecraft's name, but you knew it wasn't the real deal. everyone dies, including Jason. That’s why I liked part 5 so much. it showed that he was dead, but that “evil lives on”. Trite but true.

The first is archetypal storytelling that involves the assigning of characters that are not only themselves buy also are representative of something. Sheriff Garris isn't just one man, he represents law enforcement and authority. To see him go from trying to shut Tommy up about Jason (a problem in the town) to eventually fighting Jason and sacrificing himself to save his daughter shows a transformation of law and authority from ignoring the needs and warnings of the people to realizing the threat and selflessly acting on that realization. Steve Christy represents structure. While at the camp all is safe. Annie is killed, because she is not yet at the camp. Christy leaves, and the killings start to happen at the camp. The death of Christy is also the death of structure and all the security that structure brings. Then, only after killing Christy, does Pamela show herself. The other aspect is the use of symbolism and the subliminal. Friday the 13Th is mostly a visual franchise. It is steeped in symbolism and the occult that acts on the subliminal. Jason only has one good eye in most of the Franchise. It peeks out from the pillow case, head wrap, or hockey mask as if peering through another dimension. (Which is what it is symbolizing.) It is the all seeing eye of Horus, the sun god, as seen on the back of the dollar bill. (Also peering through a dimension.) It is symbolic of the watchers. And, what does Jason do? He watches, and polices the actions of mankind through harsh retribution. Why does the snake show up in Part 1? Then again as Jason in Part 9? It is the Annunaki, the serpent bloodlines that rule the world, that many would appropriately call many of them demons. Personified in Christianity as Satan, the dragon, the beast. They ruled as the Knights Templar and their arrest began on a Friday the 13Th. That is why Friday the 13Th is considered unlucky. That is why Jason is so connected with the date. The serpent possessed peoples' bodies. Of course it did, that's what some of them do. That's why they are shown again this way in the early Stargate series, serpent creatures that wear human bodies. This is all around, for those who look. That's why many of the ruling banking families' coats of arms have dragons on them. That's why dragons are all around the city of London. I once saw a comic that enshrined Jason's mask with snakes all around it, there is a good reason why. The Franchise takes place, largely, in the forest. This is representative of paradise, the Garden of Eden. Sandra and Jeff, as a friend once pointed out to me, are clearly Adam and Eve. The woman tempts the man to go to the forbidden place. They see a dead dog, and gain the knowledge of life and death, good and evil. They then get caught by the police, representative of authority. They then try to hide what they had seen from anybody, hiding from authority. The prologue of Part 8 explains the human condition many are in, and that they are in it because they place themselves in it. Taking place in New York, the soon to be site of 911. Which, once understood, shows the principles described at the beginning of Part 8, which have been used by those ruling against the people for thousands of years. Also there is the clear connection with the moon and femininity the Franchise shows. It is the recasting of the Father, Son, Mother god trinity. Elias, the god that is not seen with the eyes. Jason, his eternal son on earth that dies to rise again, and Pamela as the mother and Queen of Heaven, Semiramis, Our Lady of Babylon. She is represented as the moon in this Franchise, and is always watching. Also, who is mother is Part 9? Diana, the roman moon goddess. The Franchise shows the battle between humanity and a demon. A push and pull relationship that has gone on for some time. Part 9 has much to pay attention to for those who research the occult and connect that dots. It's probably the most telling of the Franchise really, as to what Jason is. A good source to start with, for those who are interested in such things, is the video titled Ruled by the gods by David Icke.
