the thing about freddy, he's far to comical to be intimidating. he's actually likeable, which, while being cool, is totally not scary... very few horror characters have actually been able to pull of comedy and intimidation to an equal degree (jack torance from the shining, and of course, leatherface from TCM). i agree jason isnt completely original, but neither is freddy, freddy is alot like the characters from last house on the left, cravens first movie, they all were kinda funny, but not to the extent of freddy. while jason, is 100 percent intimidation, nothing more. he's the silent killer, and nothing is really creepier then that. however, in my dream movie, it would be a 4 way fight, freddy vs jason vs micheal myers vs leatherface, with leatherface decimating them all of course, as he stands on his own as the horror villian god he so deserves to be. but in this one, i gotta say jason is the better.... of course, i dont think either one of them will win, they will probably both be killed by whomever the human character is. as having one win over the othe rwould cause hardcore fans of the loser to spew negatives on the movie for their favorite character losing.
The matchup I'm waiting for is the Alien vs. Predator show. Also, Hellraiser w/ Pinhead vs. Freddy might have been more interesting.
Not that Freddy functions and prevails in the dream world to a large extent by exploiting his victim's fears. Jason in his present form is pretty much fearless, although I've heard tell that
Spoiler:.
his drowning as a child in Camp Crystal Lake will be exploited
What bothered me about the last two Jason movies was its two attempts at explaining his nature. In Jason Goes to Hell, he is shown to be a demon/possessed by a demon, and the movie is spent having him jump from body to body until he is finally dragged back down into hell. In the more recent JasonX, he is shown as simply a genetic anomaly, whose DNA allows him to regenerate and heal from his injuries. I wonder which theory, if either, the Freddy/Jason movie will use for Jason.
Whatever, I'll probably see it ... believe it or not, I rather enjoyed Jason X! 🙄
Thats not what I heard. I heard Freddy started killing kids at crystal lake ( Jasons old killing grounds ) So Jason comes back and starts hacking people on elm street. They both get pissed at each other. And i think there is something about Freddy goes in jasons mind and pretends to be his mom which pisses him off BIG time.
One more thing is someone said Jason is to dumb. Freddy could just go into his mind. Jason is dumb indeed but also not afraid or anything. Freddy used to take over the mind of teenagers with FEAR. Jason has no fear and wont have any fear. Freddy wont be able to scare jason to death in his dreams like he usual does because face it I mean please what are u goign to show jason that will scare him? In Jason x THE FREAKIN GUY PUT TO GIRLS INTO A SLEEPING BAG AND SLAMMED THEM UP AGAINST A TREE! CMON PEOPLE!

Because what I heard Freddy tries to use Jason as he's puppet to kill people but then figures out he can't so they duke it out while of course dumb teenagers get sliced on the way.These kids are so easy to kill they can be strangled with a cordless phone.
yep. this is correct. its the official plot of the movie.
