What is up with people sucking on Jason's dick?

They are polar opposites of what you could get for a villain in a slasher movie.
I would group Freddy with other villains like Pinhead and Jigsaw and Hannibal Lecter who are much more dynamic and crafty/intelligent. Freddy I would group with villains like Michael Myers and Leatherface, who are dumb and strong and dont have complicated motivations.
Freddy is scary because he is creative and powerful and hard to predict. Jason is scary because he is powerful and unstoppable and can't be reasoned with. Once Jason shows up you are pretty much screwed, but Freddy is going to toy around with you for awhile before he does anything.
Freddy and his movies certainly require better acting and involve more dynamic plots, so I will agree there. -

I find Freddy scarier mainly because he enjoys what he does. Jason's all business, you know you're gonna die; Freddy, however, toys with you as cat to mouse. In the early movies he used your fears against you. In later movies he actually uses your interests(sex, video games, weed)against you instead. And there he is, capering through your dream like the Ringmaster from Hell, using what you love against you, throwing out wisecracks and one-liners, and having a grand old time with your fear before he kills you. But Jason does have a nice machete!

He's just some silent guy who wears a ridiculous hockey mask and stabs people to death.
The real hockey mask is awesome. The dime store "deer in the headlights look" hockey mask they used in Freddy vs. Jason was ridiculous.
he never fvcking runs
That's demonstrably false, and you just established yourself as an ultracrepidarian, which is a special type of idiot.
Freddy actually talks and has a character. He kills people in creative ways while Jason just walks up to people without making a sound and stabs them.
That's also demonstrably false. Nearly all of Jason's kills were done in different ways. My favorite one was when he whacked a girl in a sleeping bag up against a tree in part 7. You can see a complete list here:
http://horror.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_deaths_in_Friday_the_13th_series
There are some unusual ones, such as a party horn through the eye; knocking someone's head clean off with one punch; body folded in half backwards; face pressed into a wall hard enough to leave a face impression in the wall; throwing someone into a tree and ripping their arm off at the same time, leaving a blood stain on a preexisting smiley face that had been carved into the tree; decapitating three people with one swing of a machete, and so on.
Freddy has supernatural powers while Jason is basically a zombie on steroids.
Jason has supernatural strength, durability, regeneration, and is supernaturally animated in general.
Notice how only Robert Englund can portray as Freddy but ANYONE can play as Jason.
Yeah, Danny DeVito or Rick Moranis would make a great Jason, right? Only someone who is oblivious/unobservant thinks that "ANYONE" can play Jason. People who are more observant not only don't think that, but they have strong preferences among the actors who have already played Jason.

Any actor who is about 1.9 meters tall can play as Jason because they wear that dumbass hockey mask and don't talk. Look at how many different actors played as Jason. People hired a different actor to play as Freddy one time (which was the
Nightmare
remake) and look at how many fans got pissed when Robert Englund didn't play as Freddy in the remake. -

Your tacit concession with regard to all of the points you didn't address, is noted.

So
DJ Qualls
then? In any case, and your attempt to move the goalpost notwithstanding, obviously anyone can technically play Jason, including Betty White, just as anyone can technically play Freddy Krueger, including Martha Stewart, but not just anyone can play him well. Build/anatomy makes a difference, and so does body language and general manner of walking and other movements. In my opinion, and in the opinion of many others, Kane Hodder had the best combination of these things, thus he was the best Jason actor. For more details about that, see my post here -

.

The real hockey mask was awesome; the FvJ hockey mask was laughable. However, someone who has a cartoon phallus as his avatar, and who is clearly oblivious in general, can't be expected to have a valid understanding of the concept of "awesome" anyway.
Look at how many different actors played as Jason.
And look how obvious it is when watching the movies. Well, it's obvious to anyone who doesn't dwell in a general state of obliviousness. If they were interchangeable as you suppose, no one would be able to tell the difference between the various Jason actors onscreen.
People hired a different actor to play as Freddy one time (which was the Nightmare remake) and look at how many fans got pissed when Robert Englund didn't play as Freddy in the remake.
Plenty of people got pissed when Kane Hodder didn't play as Jason in FvJ as well. Ken Kirzinger was the worst Jason actor to wear the mask, and his mask was the worst mask too.

we all know that there are differences in quality between the different jason performances among the different actors playing jason. some are better than others. but my question is how come there was always a different actor playing jason until kane hodder played jason? was this about how the films looked, the stories of each movie or the sceneries, environments of each movie?
or was it just about contracts not working out for the actors as far as them not being available for any more friday the 13th films because they were already busy with other movie work?
