(copying/reposting on the new forum..wheeee
injury areas are consistent, location of resurrection works out.
Then we get Jason Takes Manhattan.
He's ditched the dark greenish coverall now and gone for a dark blue/black jumpsuit. Note also his gloves change, and his face is..noticeably different. It's gone from the zombie-ish half-skulled visage of the Jason in "New Blood" to this soggy-looking gray thing, sorta like someone chucked oatmeal into it and called it a face. There's also his...unexpected reversion to child form. When did that come in, and why was he a normal looking black haired boy? The other films show him as a bald kid with some physical deformations, and that image is at least preserved in Freddy v. Jason. Jason Takes Manhattan however ditches that idea entirely.
Jason Goes to Hell; The Final Friday doesn't help much either. It was a transition to New Line and people seemed to go with "Forget part 8 happened". Jason's (somehow) full grown again, LIGHT blue jumpsuit and he's still changed from 7. He's lost the brownish/scarred rotting look, and gone for a normal flesh color (though still scarred) with some hair remaining, and both eyes intact (recall that he lost one in Final Chapter). To further the curiosity, it is revealed that he had a sister.
Wait.
Skip back to part one. Mrs. Voorhees told Alice quite clearly that Jason was her only child, and I doubt her headless corpse made out with another man to have Jason's "sister".
Jason X, we can pretend never happened. Okay?
Thankfully, films 8-10 are ignored in Freddy v. Jason; where the idea of Jason as a deformed and low-intelligence boy is restored, and the only injury inconsistency is that Ken Kirzinger opens the wrong eye at the startup. Hell, they even resurrected Jason from an underground-like resting place where his body had been left in part nine.
So..thoughts on the goofups? I know one could argue that they're expecting too much from a slasher film, but the fact that they KEPT such attention on Jason's details in the first seven does make you wonder.
