According to the novel, Freddy had forgotten what he had said before.The novel also intimates, though it never says outright, that had Freddy been able to drown Jason in Jason's memory/nightmare where he was a little boy dying again, then that would have permanently killed Jason in the real world. Maybe because unkillable dead guys are rare enough that they'd each think they're the only one? Or perhaps because Freddy and Jason's particular brands of immortality are so very different.From the director's standpoint, I can understand why it seemed like Jason spent most of the fights with Freddy getting his butt kicked. In the fight in the dream world, Freddy just has more experience, and imagination, both of which would be crucial in an environment where anything you can visualize can be. Only Jason's utterly indomitable will helped him there.Likewise, in the fight in the real world, its less about rationale and more about simply how to keep the fight going. Jason can soak up damage like a sponge does water, so there's no problem with Freddy scoring hit after hit on him. On the other hand, Freddy, in the real world, has no particular resistance to being hurt (that we know of). Given Jason's titanic strength, one or two blows would be all that would be needed then to dismember Freddy utterly. Hence, the fights would have to have Jason missing more often then not.I agree that it was a good move that they kept Jason as a clear-cut bad guy. There was no way Jason could have been Freddy's first victim though, either when he was alive or dead, since Freddy always killed his victims, and we already knew how Jason died. Agreed.Boy would that be something, especially since he lived (and died) in 1300 AD.I can't bring myself to be too upset over this, since I'm not much of a fan of either film series.</blockquote>
