Dude. You're stating Rambo can set traps and search cabins for weapons. That's prep. Crystal Lake became abandoned during many of the films. Including Jason Goes To Hell. The second the military sent in a woman to lure Jason into a kill, Jason moved ahead for the kill. The military set upon him and blew him to smithereens. I'm using the traps that Rambo used in First Blood as examples if not some he is capable of.The situation of Jason killing anyone who entered Crystal Lake usually ended in quick stealthy deaths or the heroes would trap him in a PIS situation or they had knowledge of Jason or they had powers to take the fight back to him.
In regards to the Freddy VS Jason fight. Cmon Freddy was an overconfident demon who could teleport, slash and take any damage Jason could put on him. Including decapitation. Rambo is a man. One punch or slash and he is hurt. Jason just keeps going.
In regards to survivors defeating Jason due to drowning him in a lake.
That was based on inside knowledge that John doesn't have access to.
Sure he could set a trap that could hit Jason into the water and put a chain around his neck causing Jason to freak out and go into hibernation for a while. But John doesn't know that, he will try to trap him in the woods. Which won't work like it did on the cops in First Blood.
Once he realises that Jason can survive his traps he will retreat to evaluate the situation. And adapt. By then Jason is already on his tail no matter where he goes.
And as we all know once that happens he's screwed. No more traps. Just hiding and dying. Jason is notorious for screwing with hiding survivors only to be standing around the corner. Ready for a kill. He's got a demon in him as proven in Jason Goes To Hell. Jason X is probably the worst example due to it being a future What If movie. The rest are canon.
It's not prep. This is a hunt not a straight up fight, they won't find each other right away. I'm not giving Rambo time to come up with plan before he enters Crystal Lake. But as soon as he does he'll start scouting the area, setting up traps and coming up with a plan. It won't take long, like when he set up the traps for the cops in First Blood. That's what he does in every movie before he starts mowing down people with a machine gun. Once he sees standard traps don't work against Jason he'll retreat until he comes up with better plan, and because Rambo is much faster and smarter as well as more experienced than Jason he won't be found. You can't compare Rambo with some half-drunk teen retards, of course Jason can find them, but John is another beast entirely. Also, the last time we see Crystal Lake (FvJ) it's not abandoned, there was some construction work going on so Rambo will have plenty of tools on hand.
Freddy was not superhuman in the real world, that was the point of bringing him out of the dream. Everything he did in his final fight with Jason, Rambo can do better. Now that I think about it, the steel rods Freddy impaled Jason with makes me think he's not that durable, Rambo could probably immobilize Jason and chop off his head.
Rambo may not know about the history between Jason and the lake but it doesn't mean he won't try to drown him if his normal attacks and traps don't work. It would be logical to try a different way of killing and since the lake is right there, he'd take advantage of it.
Jason X is not a What if movie. Where did you get that idea?
