Jason is not ' unkillable' because of this movie right?

i was thinking the other day this movie proves he isn't unkillable.

Jason did die in this movie. he was even buried for many years and was dead at the beginning of part 6 when Tommy and his friend dug him up

he got resurrected into some sort of zombie in part 6 by a fluke lightening bolt but i don't really count that as the real Jason.

its like zombies in the walking dead. they aren't considered the same people they were when alive. first you die, then turn into zombie but you technically die.

the main thing is he was able to be killed. just some people say he couldn't be killed but that isn't true

Everything that you said (typed) above is true. And correct.

I think that in part 2 Ginny was trying to do what Alice successfully did to Mrs Voorhees in the original long night at camp blood.

Of course that didn't work.

Question is how is Jason completely mobilized after getting severely wounded since Part 2?

Did he have "healing abilities"?

Although Jason has survived his injuries, this is the Final Chapter. This film was suppose to end Jason for good and the series.

After this film the writers got creative and revamped Jason (Part 6).

Yeah I consider Jason killed in this to be the real one and the others just spin-offs

Well to be fair there are a few hiccups in that theory.

Jason still remembers his mom when he is zombie Jason and still has the same feelings emotions he did as a human, hence why Freddy was able to mess with him. Zombies are emotionless.

In part 8 it is revealed that boy Jason tried to pull the main character under water to kill her when she was a child. The director confirms in his commentary that in his take Jason was dead as a boy and he awoke trying to pull her down.

He did technically already look dead in this one after the axe to the head from part 3. Was it me or was his skin colour sorta that of a dead person.

I would argue that Jason is less a zombie and more like the Frankenstein Monster in Parts 6 onward. In the most popular zombie films zombies come from a virus that turns people into cannibalistic monsters. But that's not the case with Jason. He's been brought back to life via electricity. He also doesn't eat people. So he therefore isn't a zombie in the traditional sense.
