I liked it too, but alas, spin-off comics aren't "hard canon."
Not even the good ones.
I mean, there were some F13 comics where for legal reasons, they couldn't even use "Pamela Voorhees" and so his mother had an entirely different name. And there's a billion comics and novels that are based on the movies, after the movies, in-between the movies, and most of them contradict each other. It's such a mess that any and all of it is up for grabs as far as what "counts" and what doesn't. It's pretty much whatever you want to believe, at that point.
But going JUST by what's presented in the movies and nothing else, the more I read and thought about the fan theory, the more it made sense compared to just about anything else one could choose to believe. Which was weird, because otherwise I hate the guy that wrote that article and disagree with him about almost everything.
He's one of the worst movie critics I ever read. But on this one thing, he seems pretty sharp.
