Jason Vorhees is he a villian or a protector of the children?

This was by popular demand (at least in my head). This one isn't as nice and warm feeling like the Grinch. But the next one after this will be the Emperor.

Anyone that has watched the first Jason movie or any of the others knows the back-story, but refuses to think of him and his mother as heroes. Mrs. Vorhees is the first serial killer in Friday the 13th. We are supposed to feel sorry for all those young adults that end up dispatched by all sorts of means. In her mind that if the original camp counsels weren’t smoking up, drinking, and having premarital sex her mentally ill child would of not drown, the councilors would have been doing their job. So, she not only kills the two councils that were having the hanky panky, but more over the years. At the end of the first movie, viewers, find out Jason survived, (no one knows why, or that if the mother new about this) and there was some level where he watched his mother all those years, learning how to save humanity. Yes, he was insane, and he committed hannus actions becoming the jury, judge and executioner. I am only saying that there are deeper issues, which should be addressed.

First) Who were these young adults that ended up in front of his justice. They were drunkards, hippies (not the political kind, the I want pot kind), drugies, lots of sex people, and your ordinary ass hole. So pretty much the underdiserables of society. These unerdiserables would then mess up society in the future, mainly talking about killing some child because they were high or having sex.

Second) In the second movie; he does not bring his justice to all the councilors. He does it to the ones that where either underage drinking or smoking up, the ones that are punished and not allowed out, chose to have premateral sex, and drove home drunk from the bar. The characters that was good, that was smart, and did not endanger anyone else, such as children, was safe.

Third) Remember his mom was only preventing from other children from drowning just like Jason. Which in turn made a monster a lunatic mass murderer. So, Jason takes the preemptive fight, so there will not be another like him. Jason is saving society.

Fourth) He is doing it fore the children, so they can live a good life. In the forth movie a character named Tommy, first appears, and he is the only survivor. All the young adults die, the bounty hunter, his mom and his sister all die, but not him. Why? Because he is a child. Tommy ends up killing Jason, but in the sixth movie reawakens him, to make him a super entity. In that movie the camp is reopened. Once again most of the councilors were dispatched, but not one child was hurt. There is even a moment where he could have just had a buffet, but that isn't what happened, he simply walked away.

As you can see in these four points show that Jason is just a vilified super hero. Just like the Punisher a vigilante killing criminals, or like President Bush declaring preemptive bombings against future terrorists. The only difference between him and the Punisher is that these are future rapist, murders, robbers and all around thugs. And the only difference between President Bush and Jason is that Jason killed a lot less innocent people, with his preemptive strike (I can say this because I voted for him, and supported the preemptive war). So, I say that maybe we shouldn’t look at Jason as a evil man, but as justice, and as a person who speaks for children rights (Is he any worse than PETA?).
