paedophilia is not accepted even as a horror medium anymore

Actor is too iconic in the role and hes old now, also the reboot was so disliked it salted the earth on any future ones

Can't be as bad as the last jeepers creeper movie?

>>215539295
Do you think there's anyone in the business today that could actually match the creativity of the franchise? We all seen the remake and the answer is clearly no.

Its just not a good franchise

Remake Fred was a pedo. Regular ol Freddy was just a murderer.

>>215539391
Black Phone 2 was obviously a Freddy movie with the names swapped out, which would have still been good.

>>215539295
"Iconic horror character named Freddy" is a bear now

>was just a murderer.
>child rapist and murderer

>>215539556

I'm pretty sure the originals never said he was a rapist. Just that he murdered kids. Unless it was implied.

But the remake definitely made him out to be a pedo, which I think tainted the originals unfortunately...

Bc he reads middle aged + edgelord "cool" archvillains have to read young 20-something

I actually liked the 2010 movie because it had such an oppressive atmosphere. I remember Rooney Mara talking shit about it saying she was going to quit acting because of it, etc. I was thinking did somebody put a gun to her head and say she had to take the lead role? She didn't even need the paycheque since her family are insanely rich.

The remake was better than every nightmare aside from 1,2,FD,NN the others are garbage and I'm being very generous including 2

>>215539295
robert england can no longer play the character and the new freddy was too edgy for its own good

something something copyright issues. same with F13

>>215539295
No Robert Englund

>>215539295
He's had enough movies, let him die

>>215539901
that part where nu-freddy starts citing r/interestingasfuck factoids about how long severed heads have brain activity was more cringe than anything from Freddy's Dead, let along 3
You're just a zoomer without perspective

>>215539599
made him out to be?
they outright found nude photos he'd been taking of them in the remake

>>215539901
>the remake was better than every nightmare aside from the majority of them

>>215539599
It was heavily implied on purpose and explicit dialogue about was written out before production due to kidnapping cases that were getting publicity in the 80s
I love Elm Street threads
how many most posts until some midwit tells us 2 is "underrated" and was "groundbreaking queer horror"
oh boy
discussing movies on fourchan is fun

I always liked the idea that Freddy was genuinely innocent of killing those kids, and the lynch mob murdered him as a scapegoat so he declared revenge.

>>215541052
That is stupid, since why would he have the glove and leave obvious slash marks on his victims if he was innocent. Remake Freddy was character assassination.

There's what like 6 with England?
The remake was more entertaining than some single mom cunt and goofy dream sequences .
