so yeah jack and gany win. dc's energy based chars. aren't all they are cracked up to be.

Crikey, we are discussing Jason here. Not Ronnie.
With *that* in mind, Jason learned to control his internal energies better than Ronnie ever could. In fact, Shadow Thief attempted to kill Jason in the exact same way he killed Ronnie in that ridiculous scene you posted -- only to find out that Jason is a completely different animal:

On that note, what people often seem to forget is that Jason merged with Professor Stein(the same guy Ronnie was merged with):

However, their merger occurred after Stein had returned from his yearS-long voyage across the universe. During his time off-planet, Stein gleaned massive knowledge on a truly cosmic scale -- the secrets of the universe, as it were:

Additionally, Stein's vast knowledge allowed him to master the Firestorm Matrix, thus giving Jason greater access to its infinite power:

*So not only was Jason infinitely smarter than Ronnie(thanks to Stein, of course), but he also had infinitely more raw power at his disposal(thanks to Stein, of course.)
That's also why Jason's detonation(when the Matrix itself destabilized) would have destroyed the entire universe -- hell Stein likened his cumulative energies to that of the Big Bang itself:

...Which is a pretty sharp contrast to the damage Ronnie's detonation caused.
Aside from all of that, a PIS-free Jason getting killed via stabby-stabs also doesn't factor-in his intangibility:

But hey, what do I know..?
