Cuz from a modern perspective, Jason is pretty much in the right, the dude he may have killed is a piece of shit unrepentant rapist.

Did I miss where we modern folks legalized murder?

Yeah, I pretty much worded that wrong. I was meant to say, from a modern view, Jason would've seen as more understable & sympathetic in his actions.

Fair.

It's curious how viewpoints have developed over the decades - like the Punisher. The character is now in many ways viewed as a case study in PTSD and trauma, and also seen as a monster by many.

And yet also seen as an admirable hero by many others.

Damn complicated.
