>Freddy's Dead universally trashed for decades
>now considered pretty good because of 90s nostalgia, Twin Peaks vibe, and some good kills
I love it when this happens.

that depressing and suspenseful music from twin peaks played in my head
They're all good. People who hate the later entries, especially Freddy's Dead, probably don't like campy movies.
I agree, but up until a few years ago 5 & Dead were considered the shittiest ones. 5 is still in that category, but Dead has really grown in popularity. It's probably reached 2 in terms of being accepted.
I still see people shitting on 2 a lot, but yea people seem to have warmed up to Freddy's Dead. Still, it would have been cool to see Peter Jackson's take on it.

I don’t know why, but these threads are always so comfy.
I wish Freddy was real.
What’s next for Fagat Krueger
Tough choice, but I gotta go with Taryn
Lisa is an underrated hottie, in an underrated movie.
Freddy's Dead has abysmal production values and video porn actors. It's a black mark on the entire franchise, which always had the coolest practical effects, competant cinematography, even great poster art and marketing. It's literally the greedy shoddy 90s eating the rad creative fun 80s like Saturn ate his sons, and reduces Englund to a has-been. Do not defend Freddy's Dead.
The one before it sucked also, Dreamchild. I haven’t watched it in a while though
Dreamchild is competant. The dream sequences and kills aren't green screen, and the set design doesn't look like a converted Dollar Store. The "3D" gimmick for FD further corrupts its aging. Dreamchild had at least a solid if inevitable concept. The giant cradle standees promoting the VHS release are highly coveted among collectors. Freddy's Dead wasn't just met with disappointment by fans, it was loudly rejected with anger. It arguably even hurt the theatrical gross of New Nightmare years later.
It brings some interesting concepts into the franchise, like the idea of Freddy being linked to Springwood and unable to leave by himself and him killing pretty much all the teenagers in the town. You also get some backstory on him as a human and how he got his dream powers. It wasn't executed very well, but I still find more enjoyment in it than some of the Friday the 13th sequels.
Put it in a paperback tie-in, then. NoES had a perfect aesthetic reputation until FD, and trivialized Englund and horror in general.
Where do you take a NoES reboot user now that Blumhouse is closing in on the rights? Can you reboot without Englund? Let's not mention Platinum Dunes' attempt, I know how Yea Forums salivates for Rooney Mara. What would you MOST LIKE to see?
Obviously, everyone wants Englund back, but he's too old. Maybe he could do one more. I think it was his idea to have different actors play Freddy, with each kid seeing a different version of him. That might be a way to test the waters for a replacement for Englund.
Personally I'd like it done as a tv series on HBO or Netflix. I think I mentioned it in one of these threads before, but it would be a different cast for each season, maaybe a few recurring characters. Start it in the 80s and each new season is a new decade. It doesn't have to follow the plot of the movies, but they could include a few references and keep the main plot point of him being a child predator and the parents getting revenge. 8-10 episodes sounds like a good amount to give the characters some development without having too much filler. Definitely want to keep Freddy in the dark, so to speak, and just show glimpses until the last few episodes. Obviously elaborate dream sequences and kills should be there, but I'd also like to see MORE of them where a character wakes up without dying, just barely getting away, to help build suspense. At the end of the season, either everyone dies, or just one survivor. Not sure how they'd explain how Freddy comes back the next season in the 90s, but I guess it's just that he builds power the more people talk about him. Sorry I'm kinda rambling.
Robert Englund sells every ANOES film he's in, IMO. Freddy's such a fun character that even the worse ones are still entertaining, while I can think of many other horror franchises that lack the same appeal. For me, at least.
