This Is Ridiculous.... - GraveOctober - 11-30-2007
Topic titled: I HATE HUMAN JASON<!--quoteo<div class=\'quotetop\'>QUOTE</div><div class=\'quotemain\'><!--quotecI also hate the fact that it's fashionable in the fan community to prefer the early movies and the early, 'human' Jason, as if that gave one 'cred'.Jason, prior to Jason Lives, was a Michael Myers clone. There's really no disputing this. He was 'unstoppable' in the sense that nobody could pragmatically put him down, but he was still quite 'killable' - and 'human, all-too-human'. He only really acquired a discernible character of his own in the sixth film, and it was only with Hodder that he came into his own as a character fundamentally distinct from the slasher archetype which preceded him. Even his appearance was rather generic in the early films, with only the iconic mask serving to differentiate him from a thousand-and-one other physiologically degenerate slashers.In short, there are two separate 'eras' in the Friday franchise: the first five could rightfully be called 'stalk-and-slash', or pure slasher movies, whereas the films from Jason Lives are more accurately termed 'monster movies'.<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndSure people can have their opinion, but who actually likes JGTH or X? After 6, I beleive Jason was turned into a Monster, and no longer a slasher. Brooker's performance as Jaosn is probably my favorite, although Jason Lives is my favorite, entertaining wise. Look of Jason, I'd have to say Part 3If this doesnt belong here, then fine, delete it.

If you really do your research though, Friday the 13th was just another spawn off of the hugely successful HALLOWEEN and what it invented as a film.....Friday the 13th was made because Halloween did so well.Michael myers clone though?? not really. I think F13 isn't quite the same as the other copy cat slashers that came out after halloween. It's safe to say it made it's own mark lolI don't see how that can offend anyone. You need to toughen up maybe? Go join the wrestling team and stop sitting in your bedroom after school playing halo

<img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":dry:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"dry.gif\" /> ....funny.Im just saying how its ridiculous how anyone can hate human jason. Or hate the fact that anyone CAN like human jason over MONSTER ZOMBIE BEAST Jason.(btw i dont even really play video games for your information. :-P)(I also find it ridiculous that people relate this to age. I, for instance, am only 16, yet I love part 3, 6, 2, 5 the most, and practically hate the rest. I like movies that a lot of younger people in this hobby hate. Creepshow, TCM 1974, Evil Dead, etc...)

well everyone's entitled to their own opinion of course and if he desides to not like the older Jasons then that's perfectly fine in my book as it doesn't affect the way i feel about them . personally i don't care for the look of leatherface in the original and favor the look more in the remake but that doesn't mean i hate the original film . i just think the remake looks more mean , evil , monster , beast and i would be scared of him just charging at me even if he didn't have the saw . but with the original , the saw is the only scary thing about it to me but then there's many people that would disagree with me and i'm fine with that . i'm cool with the whole " human" jason thing but the only thing i'm not crazy about is the Hockey Mask in part 3 just because there's not really much to it other than being glossy white with a few tri's . i dunno i guess i'm just a fan of some battle damage and good ol' weathering lol . oh well that's my 2 cents and if you don't like it , tough rocks and have a cookie <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbsup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbsup.gif\" /> mike,

I'm on both sides of the fence on this one. My 2 favorites are Part 3 (first horror movie I ever saw as a kid) and Part 7, Followed closely by Jason Lives and Final Chapter. I have to say I'm excited about the new remake since they will probably go back to the human Jason again. I just pray to God they don't ruin him!

Well maybe its the little details that count. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":biggrin:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" /> Well yeah, I know he has his own opinion, but he posted it as if like "How can anyone like that? Thats stupid!" and I know im kinda being a hypocrit here. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":whistling:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"whistling.gif\" />

All my friends prefer movies like The Ring and The Grudge or all the remakes that have been made and consider that great horror as opposed to the classics. None of them like classics like Halloween, Creepshow, A Nightmere on Elm Street etc. I remember when my best friend and I went to see the Halloween remake (which I thought was pretty good by the way) and my friend was babaling on how the remake beat the sh*t outta the original and stuff and we actually got into a pretty heated argument over which was better. In the end we both decided to agree to disagree but still I'm morally correct <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":tongue:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"tongue.gif\" />
