I mean most zombies prefer to eat brains or human flesh but Jason never seemed interested in that. I can't seem to think of any other zombie in a horror movie that didn't wanna eat people besides Jason.
Thats what i love about these high school girls, i get older they stay the same age.
Jason was special. He was a special zombie. He was reanimated by lightning. He wasn't the result of a satellite returning to Earth and seeding the atmosphere of radiation or some such bollocks. Therefore his single mindedness to massacre any living, breathing person he happened upon is unique to his reason for being. (Or something)
shareJason technically died from drowning. But to answer the question, prior to Living Dead, very few zombies (or ghouls) were flesh eaters. Most of them were more brainless beings under a voodoo curse like in White Zombie or under alien control like in Plan 9 From Outer Space.

A long time ago when my sister and I were watching this movie, she toyed with the idea of Jason eating people. It was after Jason killed Martin, she suggested that Jason probably chopped him up (and possibly other victims) to eat. I doubt she was fully serious when she said it.
Reboot, restart or re-imagining is another word for remake
When you're dead what the hell do you need food for?
Jason is not a zombie. He's resurrected. He's become the walking dead but not a zombie. It's never mentioned like that. If anything it's black magic or something from hell that keeps him going. Maybe Pamela conjured something up, or Jason's father did ... Or both? Or maybe one of them made a pact with the devil, or whatever theory you can come up with, but one you can cross off the list is zombie.
Zombies weren't always flesh/brain eaters. The original legends didn't include that concept; zombies were thought to be corpses reanimated to work and act as (admittedly slow) soldiers. The legends rose out of the Caribbean and, likely, Africa.
The flesh-eating aspect developed around the time of the release of "Night of the Living Dead" in 1968. It has become pretty ubiquitous since, though I prefer the original legends.
In the beginning of part 3 the reporter noted of unconfirmed reports of cannibalism.
