<P> Many have given suggestions as Jason's motivation for killing . Ken Kirzinger refers to Jason as a "psychotic mama's boy gone horribly awry...very resilient . You can't kill him, but he feels pain, just not like everyone else ." Kirzinger goes on to say that Jason is a "psycho - savant", and believes his actions are based on pleasing his mother, and not anything personal . Andrew O'Hehir has stated, "Coursing hormones act, of course, as smelling salts to prudish Jason, that ever - vigilant enforcer of William Bennett - style values ." Todd Farmer, writer for Jason X, wrote the scene where Jason wakes from cryonic hibernation just as two of the teenagers are having sex . Farmer liked the idea that sex acts triggered Jason back to life . Whatever his motivations, Kane Hodder believes there is a limit to what he will do . According to Hodder, Jason might violently murder any person he comes across, but when Jason Takes Manhattan called for Hodder to kick the lead character's dog, Hodder refused, stating that, while Jason has no qualms against killing humans, he is not bad enough to hurt animals . Another example from Jason Takes Manhattan, involves Jason being confronted by a street gang of young teenage boys one of whom threatens him with a knife, however Jason chooses not to kill them and instead scares them off by lifting up his mask and showing them his face . Likewise, director Tom McLoughlin chose not to have Jason harm any of the children he encounters in Jason Lives, stating that Jason would not kill a child, out of a sympathy for the plight of children generated by his own death as a child . </P> <P> In Jason Goes to Hell, director Adam Marcus decided to include a copy of the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, from the Evil Dead franchise, in the Voorhees home as a way to insinuate that Jason was actually a "Deadite", a type of demonic being from that series . Marcus stated the book's placement was intended to imply that Pamela Voorhees had used it to resurrect Jason after his childhood drowning, resulting in his supernatural abilities: "This is why Jason isn't Jason . He's Jason plus The Evil Dead...That, to me, is way more interesting as a mashup, and (Sam) Raimi loved it! It's not like I could tell New Line my plan to include The Evil Dead, because they don't own The Evil Dead . So it had to be an Easter egg, and I did focus on it . It absolutely is canon ." In an early draft of Freddy vs. Jason, it was decided that one of the villains needed a redeemable factor . Ronald D. Moore, co-writer of the first draft, explained that Jason was the easiest to make redeemable, because no one had previously ventured into the psychology surrounding the character . Moore saw the character as a "blank slate", and felt he was a character the audience could really root for . Another draft, penned by Mark Protosevich, followed Moore's idea of Jason having a redeemable quality . In the draft, Jason protects a pregnant teenager named Rachel Daniels . Protosevich explained, "It gets into this whole idea of there being two kinds of monsters . Freddy is a figure of actual pure evil and Jason is more like a figure of vengeance who punishes people he feels do not deserve to live . Ultimately, the two of them clash and Jason becomes an honorable monster ." Writers Damian Shannon and Mark Swift, who wrote the final draft of the film, disagreed about making Jason a hero, although they drew comparisons between the fact that Freddy was a victimizer and Jason was a victim . They stated, "We did not want to make Jason any less scary . He's still a brutal killer...We never wanted to put them in a situation where Jason is a hero...They're both villains to be equally feared ." Brenna O'Brien, co-founder of Fridaythe13thfilms.com, saw the character as having sympathetic qualities . She stated, "(Jason) was a deformed child who almost drowned and then spent the rest of his childhood growing up alone in the woods . He saw his mother get murdered by a camp counselor in the first Friday the 13th, and so now he exacts his revenge on anyone who returns to Camp Crystal Lake . Teenage fans can identify with that sense of rejection and isolation, which you can't really get from other killers like Freddy Krueger and Michael Myers ." </P> <P> As Jason went through some characterization changes in the 2009 film, Derek Mears likens him more to a combination of John Rambo, Tarzan, and the Abominable Snowman from Looney Tunes . To him, this Jason is similar to Rambo because he sets up the other characters to fall into his traps . Like Rambo, he is more calculated because he feels that he has been wronged and he is fighting back; he is meant to be more sympathetic in this film . Fuller and Form contend that they did not want to make Jason too sympathetic to the audience . As Brad Fuller explains, "We do not want him to be sympathetic . Jason is not a comedic character, he is not sympathetic . He's a killing machine . Plain and simple ." </P> <P> In 2005, California State University's Media Psychology Lab surveyed 1,166 people Americans aged from 16 to 91 on the psychological appeal of movie monsters . Many of the characteristics associated with Jason Voorhees were appealing to the participants . In the survey, Jason was considered to be an "unstoppable killing machine ." Participants were impressed by the "cornucopic feats of slicing and dicing a seemingly endless number of adolescents and the occasional adult ." Out of the ten monsters used in the survey--which included vampires, Freddy Krueger, Frankenstein's monster, Michael Myers, Godzilla, Chucky, Hannibal Lecter, King Kong, and the Alien--Jason scored the highest in all the categories involving killing variables . Further characteristics that appealed to the participants included Jason's "immortality, his apparent enjoyment of killing (and) his superhuman strength ." </P>
