The films also created a framework for the inexplicably immortal killer. Jason began as a human, and according to the mythos of Friday the 13th (1980), he died as a child. However, he soon became a non-human killer, escaping death time and again.
Apparently, after Jason's initial death from drowning, his mother found a book that could resurrect him. Thus, when he came back, he had otherworldly, super-powered abilities.
Doubtful. Even though he may have powers that are “Other Worldly”, doesn't mean that he is completely invulnerable. For example if he were to be thrown out of an airlock from a spaceship for example. He would certainly freeze because of exposure to the vacuum of space.
In resurrecting Jason from the dead, McLoughlin also gave him the weakness of being rendered helpless if trapped beneath the waters of Crystal Lake; inspired by vampire lore, McLoughlin decided that Jason had in fact drowned as a child, and that returning him to his original resting place would immobilize him.
When he resurrects, he becomes more powerful. This power is somewhat similar to a Zenkai Boost (from Dragon Ball Z). Immortality: Jason can seemingly never die permanently for no matter what happens, he just keeps getting back up.
Jason Vorhees Anatomy Explored - Can Jason Reproduce? Is He Immortal? Is He Growing Taller?
Can Jason beat Michael Myers?
While Michael has proven time and again that he can survive nearly anything, he doesn't stand a chance against Jason. Jason's immense strength and ability to keep killing no matter the circumstances show that he can withstand a full-on assault from Michael.
Why is Jason afraid of water? Back in 1957, when Jason was 11 years old, he supposedly drowned at Camp Crystal Lake. Later in the film, during Jason's nightmare in the dream world, Freddy was deep inside Jason's subconscious, and that is the only place where Jason actually has a fear of water.
It ultimately comes down to personal preference. Some may find Myers' silent and emotionless demeanor to be more unsettling, while others may be more frightened by Voorhees' brutal and graphic kills. Both characters have their own unique strengths and weaknesses, and both have left a lasting impact on the horror genre.
Jason is motivated by rage and vengeance. Michael, however, doesn't need to have a motive. He's evil and he derives some twisted form of pleasure and amusement in stalking and killing victims. Jason can be a somewhat sympathetic character because he was made into a monster by the tragedies in his life.
However, he somehow popped up in one piece back at Crystal Lake at the start of Part IX. Then he was blown to bits, although his heart continued to beat. The living heart allowed him to possess living humans. Then we learn Jason can be born again through another Voorhees, and that only a Voorhees can kill him forever.
Really, the entire existence of Jason's immortality is just writing and rewriting the rules. In one film, he just apparently seemed dead but never really died. Others take a Frankenstein-like route, hinting at galvanism as the cause.
Jason, being undead, does not feel pain - he did feel immense pain in life (physical and mental) - beings of incredible power like Freddy have been able to exploit that and torture Jason but it required going into his head and messing with his younger self.. so on a mental level Jason is vulnerable, on a physical level ...
On Friday the 13th, the counselors hired to work there are killed off one by one. The killer: Pamela Sue Voorhees, whose 11-year-old son, Jason, allegedly drowned while swimming at the camp in 1957.
To resurrect himself, Jason must find and possess a member of his bloodline, but he can also be permanently killed by one of his surviving relatives using a magical dagger.
The winner is Jason Voorhees. Since Freddy would have to specifically target his heart or completely incapacitate him in order to be victorious, Jason has way more outcomes where he would be victorious overall. Although Freddy could suck Jason into the dream state, like he did in Freddy vs.
Michael also struggles rip humans apart while Jason has removed limbs and ripped people apart without any effort. Wiz: Jason also is more experienced than Michael. Regardless of his win/loss record, he has fought more powerful beings such as Tina, Freddy Krueger, and Ash Williams.
Summary. Both Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees are undeniably evil, but not for the same reasons. Jason Voorhees is a tragic monster driven by revenge, while Michael Myers is motivated by innate evil. Jason Voorhees is governed by his love for his mother, while Michael Myers shows no regard for family bonds.
Michael Myers from Halloween would have the precision and stalking abilities to take down Jason Voorhees and claim victory. Pazuzu from The Exorcist would outmatch Jason Voorhees with supernatural survival skills, as Jason's strength and ingenuity would be useless in a physical fight.
Michael does not speak in the films; the first time audiences ever hear his voice is in the 2007 remake. Michael speaks as a child during the beginning of the film, but while in Smith's Grove he stops talking completely.
Michael Myers has the highest kill count among slasher villains, with at least 161 confirmed kills. Other slasher villains, like Jason Voorhees and Leatherface, come close to Michael Myers' kill count but fall short.
While some films had a scantily-clad woman be the slayer of Jason, there has been a small handful of films where a character named Tommy Jarvis delivered the killing blow instead.
The "ch ch ch ah ah ah" also conveys the idea that Pamela is actually hearing Jason's voice in her head as she's killing victims. Like the shark theme in Jaws, this whispering let audiences know that Friday The 13th's killer is actually around, even though they can't be seen.
The comics (and novelization) that continued the story revealed that Jason survived atmospheric re-entry, and is still alive, on Earth 2, more unkillable than ever. Jason also appeared in the comic series, Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash, and its sequel, Freddy vs.
