Yeah Part 6 Tommy (which is the one from the game obv.) is supposed to be in his 20's, and Thom Mathews was in his late 20's at the time.

Didn't people do the math and figure out that the latter half of the series had to be taking place in the 2000s because of how everyone aged?

Or you can just pretend that the game takes place sometime between parts 6 and 7. Jason keeps coming back over and over and over again in some of his old (and future) forms and Tommy keeps getting the same goddamn radio call and keeps returning to the lake over and over again to try and stop him.

And I guess also pretend that every counselor is still driving beat-up old 70's cars and wearing 80's clothes in the 2000's.

It's basically down to the gap between Part 6 and Part 7. Tina(the telekinetic girl), supposedly ages like 10 years between the two movies, even though they were released only like a single year apart.

Edit: To be clear, Tina doesn't appear in Part 6 but in Part 7 she is said to have been 7 years old at the time of those events.

I mean early 2000's I could totally see their clothes being appropriate. Late grunge, and lovely used cars they got from their parents or off the side of the road. And hell I didn't have a cell phone for another year or two in the year 2000. Plus back then reception wasn't the best, especially in the woods.

Yea, in 2000 cellphones were still something that a lot of people just carried around in their car for emergencies, and I don't remember most of my friends having one until about 2001 or 2002, when we were juniors and seniors in high school. In the late 90's it really wasn't common to see a kid with a cellphone.

Also 4, 5, and 6.

2-4 basically happen over the course of a few days. So, still 1980/81.
Tommy is 11 or 12 in Part 4
Tommy is supposed to be like 17 in Part 5 (actor was 25) (5-6 years depending on what plot synopsis you read, so 1986-87)
Tommy is a few years older in Part 6. (1990?)

There isn't really a timeframe for the beginning of Part VII but Jason was obviously in the lake, so it is at least 10 years between the intro and the main plot of Part VII, so this would put it to like late 1990s early 2000s.

Meaning Time Square was stuck in the 1980s and 9/11 never happened in that universe.

A few months between part 1 and Jason killing Alice during part 2's prologue. At the campfire, Paul says the events of part 1 were five years previous.

I literally just finished watching part 2. Starting part 3 now. So groovy.

EDIT: I think part 2 is the only one in which, not only does the funny guy survive, but escapes any trauma at all, both physical and emotional.

What if the game is actually all Jason dreaming? We saw a bit of that in FvJ (I think, it's been a while and I really don't like that movie post rave scene) where he wanders around in that weird dreamscape prior to Freddy waking him up.

It explains the multiple looks of Jason, it explains why Tommy keeps showing up, and explains why the same group of counselors keep dying and coming back.

Shelley, as a character, is weirdly prescient. He was a Nice Guy before Nice Guys were really a thing. Still, he gets props for bringing the goalie mask to the franchise, if nothing else.

I keep getting ideas of Friday the 13th: The Game: The Movie

The first Act would be a mini-standard movie where Jason kills everyone, but then everything resets and nobody knows what's going on, not even Jason. Someone escapes and everything still resets, Tommy Jarvis shows up and doesn't know either, they manage to kill Jason and everything still resets. They start figuring out the rules but they don't know why it's happening.

Eventually there's a period where everyone just gives up on the whole thing and start messing around, chatting with Jason even as he kills them, even Jason sometimes just... hangs around with people

And then multiples of the same counsellor start showing up and you get stuff like two Chads circling the camp on a boat drinking champagne and complimenting each other while Jason looks on

The movie has to end with Chubs going insane and trying to kill everyone, only for Jason to save the day and defeat him.

Turns out the whole thing is set in that holodeck ripoff from the end of Jason X, which Jason never actually left. He's in an abandoned spaceship in a decaying orbit above a dead Earth.

No, Tommy doesn't want to be at the camp. But regardless of where in time and space he happens to be, the councilors, trying to save their own lives, use the radio and continue the next cycle of his own personal hell. He is cursed and bound to the camp grounds. He can try to save as many councilors as he's able, but he's cursed to watch untold numbers of councilors die horrible deaths to his nemesis. And even if he throws himself willingly into Jason's grasp, the moment the lights go out, another camper, in another reality is using the radio again...

I have had only one perfect game as Tommy Jarvis.

I escaped after a hard fought battle, came in as Tommy on the road, saw a car of three people being attacked by Jason, got a long shot on him from far as gently caress away, got in the car, left the game with them in under 30 seconds

I had a good Tommy round last night. There was a guy who was yelling into the mic about Stalin before the match started so he was quickly muted. During the match he just stood by the boat and did nothing for a couple of minutes so I blasted him in the chest with the shotgun. A few minutes later I was the last person left and I juked Skunkrocker for about 7-8 minutes until the time ran out. He kept breaking windows to try to deter me from using them but I had medic and 3 first aid sprays and picked up another one from Deb's body after I burned through two of them.
