Now, not only do your friends think you're a fool for taking our bait for the past x years, but guess what? We're on their side, dumbass. Oh, and be sure to see the new movie when it hits theaters. And pick it up on Blu-Ray when it comes out. Be sure to get the first version we release, plus the subsequent "Uncensored Version" "Director's Cut" and "Bonus Deluxe Editions," all with 2 minutes of extra footage not seen in the previous versions. All, of course, packaged separately and released within 6 months of each other."
Uber-Jason was a cool monster, but it defies everything Jason has been through all the years. It's like Terminator Jason.
The best of the sequels is by far Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday. It completely explained why Jason never truly died with its theology, "Through a Voorhees was he born, through a Voorhees may he be reborn, and only by the hands of a Voorhees will he die." Utterly fucking brilliant. Then they made Jason X and all that went to shit.  |
There is a problem with your sentiment in regards to the Friday The 13th series of movies.
The first film was truly groundbreaking and shocking (for the time) and truly the grandaddy of the slasher/splatter film as we know it today.
All of the subsequent films were fucking awful, hence at the end some smart person thought "you know, why make just another pile of predictable shit when we can at least be inventive and get a few laughs?"
And so Jason X was born. To hell with keeping a "brilliant" theme going, there was no brilliant theme, it was the only way to end what had long become a crappy series of films.
