This is something I've always kind of thought about. I mean how do we know that the Jason in Part 3 really is Jason and not just some copycat killer that got set off by the news reports about the events of Part 2. I mean we know its Jason in Part 2 because of the contents of his shack (Mrs. V's head), but we have no evidence that he actually committed the crimes from Part 3 onward. The opening is nothing more than a flashback of Part 2 so it really has no bearing on the events of Part 3 since it took place an entire day before Part 3 actual started. Also, just look at how different his appearance is between the two films. In Part 2 he is relatively thin with long hair while in Part 3 he is considerably larger and bald not to mention his skin tone is definitely pinker in the third installment. We honestly don't even see any evidence of the machete wound to the shoulder. With a wound that deep we should at least see a large blood stain on his stolen clothes.
Just a little something I thought I'd add to the mythology of the character. Any thoughts?

Yeah kinda strange, Ive wondered that myself, for all the bashing part 3 gets from "some people" it is part 2 that screwed everything up, part 3 fixed it. I also think that part 2 still has a little of the more traditional Slasher film element to it, that of the back woods, inbred killer, and that part 3 took it into the new realm of Slashers that we see being made going into the mid 1980s.

Part 2 still had that early independent slasher feel, while 3 onward felt more and more commercial on terms of the plot and certain cliches that were required in every movie.
