Rq question, have you read the Carrie book? If so, which ending do you like better. Carrie killing her mom feels more NATURAL than the movie alternative where she stays with her mom in the burning house. Idk. Maybe I’m weird, but the book felt better to me

YOU’RE NOT WEIRD AT ALL! That’s a very VERY good question! To me personally that depends because I feel that the book and the movie depict widely different versions of Carrie. For me the book is more of a revenge story while the movie is more tragedy than anything. In the movie the way that Sissy portrays Carrie is as someone that we feel a great deal of sympathy towards! This is because of the way that Sissy portrayed Carrie, in the beginning she is often seen as cowering and smaller than the others! Carrie in the movie is protracted as more a naive girl sheltered from the world by her crazy religious nut job mother. All she wants is to be normal, to not be ridiculed. Carrie doesn’t hold this sort of anger against her mother, frustration and fear yes! Very much so in fact! But not this sense of rage and anger. Atleast none that we see! Unlike in the books, during The Black Prom Carrie doesn’t laugh, she doesn’t even smile! Tying back to Sissy’s acting, the power dynamic shifts, framing Carrie as above the students instead of being below them. At this moment it’s like Carrie is an entirely different character, she doesn’t blink, her face is void of emotion and she is stiff as she drifts and leaves the school! I ADORE the way that this scene is portrayed even though it’s nothing like the book! The first thing she does when she gets home is take a shower and hug her mom. All she craves is just a hug and comfort after quite possibly the worst night of her life, I see her attacking her mother after her mother stabbed her as more of her subconscious/teleknisis protecting her. And as the house collapses she instead holds her mother.

The book doesn’t shy away from the fact that Carrie is not a good person, she is not some Angel.

While the movie portrays her as a misfortune girl in a horrible life. In a way I see the movie ending to be realistic and rather symbolic! After all that happened it makes sense to me that after killing her own mother, the only one who was there for her. She would clutch her mother in her arms and cry.

She was just a girl.

For the movie I think it was perfect!

But for the book, her killing her mother would 100% be more realistic! In the sense of the book!

IT TRULY JUST DEPENDS ON THE VERSION OF WHICH CARRIE, THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION! <3

Okay okay so I’m gonna try to explain this, but of course take this with a grain of salt because I don’t know Jason as well I know other characters

While Jason is a character who’s original goals has been boiled down and changed heavily throughout the movies-I like to believe that his goals and aspirations have merely changed and he developed different goals- I still believe that Jason as a character hasn’t been mischaracterized, as developed new ideas and morality- I believe that after all he has been through and all who he has killed he just wants to be left alone- but that’s just my personal view to explain how Jason’s character develops throughout the movies

For the random guy Cowboy, Creighton Duke, while it’s true we don’t know that much about him, and he is just known as the Jason expert and bounty Hunter- looking at the original script we can find out why he knows so much!

As a teen, he was out on Crystal Lake with his girlfriend, and Jason basically killed his girlfriend and Duke tried to save her but couldn’t, so Duke vowed for revenge and from that moment on he spent his life studying and trying to kill Jason. He became a bounty hunter just to fund his work in taking him down and became famous doing that even though his main goal was always killing Jason for good

it is stated that he is in fact a very talented bounty hunter- and a very successful one, so basically he dedicated himself to learning about him that’s why he knows so much

Also the reason he broke Steven’s fingers was because, Duke offered to tell Steven what he needed to know to stop Jason, but such information came with a very high price.

Which does makes sense, taking down a threat such as Jason and finding out his weakness if very much valuable information

I personally believe he did this was because he wanted Steven to prove himself to see if he was worthy of knowing and taking down Jason, to see how dedicated to the cause Steven was- that or he is just a dick

Also Jason is in the movie! sure technically it isn’t the form we are used to, but in the entire movie he’s in it-just possessing the form of others to further himself to his new goal

For the actress of Jason’s sister thing I can’t defend that, that’s just fucked up and gross-

Its still Jason no matter what form he takes which is also stated in the movie

“Duke revealed that nobody knew the "true" Jason Voorhees, and the being that they believed was Jason was just a flesh suit; a surrogate body that Jason's essence took possession of to fulfill his goal”

Which he does throughout the movie, the weird eel thing is technically Jason’s “demon”-it doesn’t matter what body he takes- which I believe was their way of explaining why Jason is a immortal unstoppable machine, explaining the past mischaractism of Jason in the past movie in a creative way

Which tbh I kinda fuck with, I thought it was interesting concept to me, but I can see why someone would see it as mischaractism and not who Jason is, Jason goes to hell is definitely not for everyone and I am aware and definitely see the flaws in it, but I find quite a few characters in it likable and a interesting concept- although it would be better if they changed a few things I still fuck with it heavily

I believe that if you see it outside the canon of the original universe, it’s definitely a likable film with an interesting concept and take on Jason as a character

But that’s just my personal opinion, I still totally understand and respect your opinion- Jason to me just isn’t a character I am personally connected to which is why I don’t really mind the sillyness of the later movies! Plus the later movies have some of the best final girls and boys in my opinion, like Tommy, Tina and Steven! Which for me either makes or breaks a slasher movie! :]

the only canon friday the 13th movies to me are parts 1-4 and the reboot. everything else is just hollywood fanfic.
