I found the first three to be formulaic and predictable yet enjoyable in a comforting sort of way, but IV is an absolute mess, full of bizarre character choices/motivations and continuity errors
they’re definitely not like actually good movies or anything but I love 2, 3 and 4’s little Jason’s Week And A Half Wandering The Pine Barrens Doing Murders Trilogy
like he’s clearly doing some kind of Character which I didn’t know he ever did and it feels like a parody of someone who I do not recognize, having been like 6 years old at the time of this thing’s airing lol
