The birds clearly died because Freddy killed them in their dreams, as right before this happens the dad says "The birds are sleeping". Absolute massives.
When the bird exploded I could swear it was just the editor messing around with Rags' commentary and I first thought "that was funny, but not THAT funny, why is everybody losing it?" and then I realised that yep, it actually happened in the movie and Rags´ commentary just happened to align with it perfectly and that was fucking impressive.
I feel like whenever people bring up this movie, there should be an unwritten law that everyone should describe it as "the Freddy movie that's super gay."
Honestly, the gay subtext somewhat implies the writer put a lot more thought into this movie than many of the other Freddy writers probably did; at least more than the Freddy TV show.
I believe there is literally a theory about how the movie is actually about the guy being possessed by Freddy is allegory for him struggling with being gay.
I want the gay reporter from Agatha to pop up in one of these and interview Freddie in the middle of the movie: "That murder was the gayest murder of the franchise so far. Agreed?"
Jesus so much content to watch. Little platoon, Random and metal all realsimg their rop videos, two EFAPs in one week, Mauler's alien romulus of course and than elm street. I'm not complaining though
Working theory for Freddy's power rules: 1. he invades the dreams of teenagers because there his preferred target 2. it takes longer to invade the dreams of people who don't know about him but once he does he can kill them immediately. 3. If they do know about him he can invade the dream immediately but must follow the dreamers rules until he can catch them off guard so he pretends to be beaten to let them drop there defenses 4. Once his prey is scared and they lose focus on fighting him he goes in for the kill so he uses there phobias and twisted dreams to knock them off balance 5. Physical objects can be transferred between dream world and real world
You would think every adult in this town would immediately get concerned about teens randomly screaming while sleeping. "Last time this happened some kid exploded in his bed!"

Technically he's not gay though. He's a straight young man, who is troubled with doubts about his sexuality, then he meets a nice girl he likes and realizes he's not gay. The girl looks like Meryl Streep though so...I could be wrong.
I unapologetically love these films, they're not great as far as horror & they get really goofy in places especially after 4 but when I was 8-10 years old Freddy was no joke as big as Hulk Hogan, Elm Street was bloody everywhere & I had no business watching them that young but dammit, they're fun as hell 😂

11:37 love this. As someone who suffered from _extreme_ ophidiophobia as a child and teenager, discovering the meme of "snakes with hats" was my first step into the journey to confronting my phobia, to the point that nowadays I only react strongly to actually seeing a snake in the wild (which basically never happens =D). I avoided even thinking about my fear for a long time but the first time I saw a snake with hat meme I went "okay this is too fkn adorable for me to be afraid." Years of watching documentaries about them, visiting petting zoos with reptiles and slowly acclimatising myself to surpass my phobia were all spurned by the undeniable cuteness of a properly dapper danger noodle
It feels like between 1 and 2 the criticisms of the setup for Feddy in 1 just evaporated from the panelists mind. I'm excited to see how "Simpsons Did It Better" gets thrown in at the end.
I'm probably writing for the movie right now but i think the idea is that Nancy weakened Freddy in the last movie, so now he's restricted to the people in the house. That's why he needs to possess Jessie. Then because of the pool party massacre he built up enough fear that he was strong enough to roam freely again which is why in the next film he's going after people in their dreams like he normally does
why didn't they do a Nightmare on Elm Street movie where instead of slaughtering kids creatively in dreams, Freddy finds an impressionable student to influence _them_ into killing kids creatively in real life? that'd be a twisty twist of a twist. that'd be more twisty than the towels in this flim.
You know... moment that REALLY gets me in this movie is the coach ignoring the baseball to the head, which could cause a concussion. NGL, I've had a teacher who cared so little about me that after I took a soccer ball to the face he said. "Just walk up those loooong cement stairs with no rails then through the school to the vice principle by yourself and he'll take you to the nurse." I got dizzy at the top of the stairs, and consider myself lucky that I had the sense to sit down there and not keep walking. I was find, but I'd be hard pressed to NOT punch that teacher if I ever met him again. EDIT: Also the useless parents. That's a staple of everything.
Wait, did they seriously play Ride of the Valkyries during the bird freaking out sequence? Was that music actually in that scene in this movie? Because if so, fucking what?
well, i didn't think i would be this lost in a series so soon. I think there were things/ideas i maybe liked in this... or at least what i took from it. Like i thought they were going to do it where him wearing no shoes meant it was a dream coz that sometimes happens and it's a way to hint at before it gets more weird. With a lot of stretching, i think it would work better if they removed the twist endings. So, he is defeated at the end of 1 and so now he's trying to puppet someone. I guess for this ending, i would say freddy wins and possesses the main character completely but i have no clue what's coming next. As an idea, i don't mind the whole overcoming fear = win against freddy, dunno if i could explain it though but it's more than just someone saying it out loud.
Holy crap, that's Tyne Daley! I saw #4 first, and it was terrible. Please watch the Phantasm movies next, you must experience the pants-wetting terror of The Tall Man! The offscreen glockenspiel killed me. 😂
isn'T there the idea where Freddie is like Santa Claus, his power is tied to people's believe in him. So to me (who isn't really that familiar with the series), the idea could have been that Freddie lay dormant after having received a major blow in the first movie and the kid accidentally awakened him, but he wasn't powerful yet to do his dream killing again, so he needed to manipulate the kid to remind people of him again. On the other hand, there's all the random heat magic, but maybe he has always access to it due to his connection to it.
While Freddy becoming a literal Meme Monster was eventually established, you have to remember that this is only the second movie. Most of the rules and lore around how Freddy works weren't yet established (and what WAS established in the first movie was basically thrown out here). What you posit WOULD work, if the later rules were being enforced in this movie (Freddy basically does this in a less possess-y way later on), but that is unfortunately not in movie or even implied.
I think I figured it out. It's not real life. They are all already dead or stuck in a dream. and this is just him tormenting them until they somehow wake up, or are saved by an outside force. or a ticking time bomb figuratively.
It may be the "gayest one", probably not the best one, but for some reason, especially from my childhood memories, the second Elm Street movie is the most memorable one 😅😅😅
God I remember watching this movie with 0 context… the last thing I remember thinking was,” this was REALLY gay… was this some kind of allegory for being gay or some shit?” Yes… the creators admitted it was an excuse to make a movie about being gay…
You know how there's always something that scared you as a small child that's laughable now you're an adult?? Freddy Kruger haunted my dreams for a whole year when I was a 5yo. I'm so embarrassed 😳 lol
Loving the Powerwolf/music edits in general. Caught the green and glass one too--got to see both Archers and Powerwolf live just recently. Really dope.

It feels like between 1 and 2 the criticisms of the setup for Feddy in 1 just evaporated from the panelists mind. I'm excited to see how "Simpsons Did It Better" gets thrown in at the end.
I still really want EFAP to do the Micheal Meyers arc I love those movies
Did Platoon fall asleep during this watch?
I'm probably writing for the movie right now but i think the idea is that Nancy weakened Freddy in the last movie, so now he's restricted to the people in the house. That's why he needs to possess Jessie. Then because of the pool party massacre he built up enough fear that he was strong enough to roam freely again which is why in the next film he's going after people in their dreams like he normally does
why didn't they do a Nightmare on Elm Street movie where instead of slaughtering kids creatively in dreams, Freddy finds an impressionable student to influence _them_ into killing kids creatively in real life? that'd be a twisty twist of a twist. that'd be more twisty than the towels in this flim.
You know... moment that REALLY gets me in this movie is the coach ignoring the baseball to the head, which could cause a concussion.
NGL, I've had a teacher who cared so little about me that after I took a soccer ball to the face he said. "Just walk up those loooong cement stairs with no rails then through the school to the vice principle by yourself and he'll take you to the nurse." I got dizzy at the top of the stairs, and consider myself lucky that I had the sense to sit down there and not keep walking. I was find, but I'd be hard pressed to NOT punch that teacher if I ever met him again.
EDIT: Also the useless parents. That's a staple of everything.
*couldn't care less
@@akashajones6079 edited for clarity.
Did little platoon talk at all after the intro?
Wow, I totally forgot how we use to say "search me" meaning "I don't know".
Wait, did they seriously play Ride of the Valkyries during the bird freaking out sequence? Was that music actually in that scene in this movie? Because if so, fucking what?
Lol.. I'm super enjoying all the lads brains melting trying to understand 80's vibes.
You can still smoke in the really good dive bars
I swear Rags only hears about 20% of what anyone else says
Is it a hot take that Freddy is at his peak in FvJ? I dont know what it is but Robert Englund turned it up to eleven in that movie
i remember that i was actually scared in that movie and watching this is just weird compared to it
As a teen in the 80s, I can confirm these fashions.
He didn't even use his signature Blood Pools or Generator teleportation!
OMG the Pac-Man theme at 11:36 - 11:41 brought back so many childhood memories
3 and 4 are my faves and I feel the best in the series imo
well, i didn't think i would be this lost in a series so soon. I think there were things/ideas i maybe liked in this... or at least what i took from it. Like i thought they were going to do it where him wearing no shoes meant it was a dream coz that sometimes happens and it's a way to hint at before it gets more weird.
With a lot of stretching, i think it would work better if they removed the twist endings. So, he is defeated at the end of 1 and so now he's trying to puppet someone. I guess for this ending, i would say freddy wins and possesses the main character completely but i have no clue what's coming next.
As an idea, i don't mind the whole overcoming fear = win against freddy, dunno if i could explain it though but it's more than just someone saying it out loud.
"Is there a bird in this toaster?"🤣🤣!
47:40
"I'm still alive, but I'm very *badly* burned"
Holy crap, that's Tyne Daley! I saw #4 first, and it was terrible. Please watch the Phantasm movies next, you must experience the pants-wetting terror of The Tall Man! The offscreen glockenspiel killed me. 😂
isn'T there the idea where Freddie is like Santa Claus, his power is tied to people's believe in him. So to me (who isn't really that familiar with the series), the idea could have been that Freddie lay dormant after having received a major blow in the first movie and the kid accidentally awakened him, but he wasn't powerful yet to do his dream killing again, so he needed to manipulate the kid to remind people of him again. On the other hand, there's all the random heat magic, but maybe he has always access to it due to his connection to it.
While Freddy becoming a literal Meme Monster was eventually established, you have to remember that this is only the second movie. Most of the rules and lore around how Freddy works weren't yet established (and what WAS established in the first movie was basically thrown out here).
What you posit WOULD work, if the later rules were being enforced in this movie (Freddy basically does this in a less possess-y way later on), but that is unfortunately not in movie or even implied.
I love the edits in this. Especially the Nosferatu with the glockenspiel. XD
The shower towel whipping scene was both traumatic and hilarious
30:47 I cried laughing when Rags said “Everyone’s having a great time listening to ‘Big Band’ music out there!” 🤣🤣🤣
10:39 "That be neat. That be interesting." How sweetly naive the uninitiated are.
I think I figured it out. It's not real life. They are all already dead or stuck in a dream. and this is just him tormenting them until they somehow wake up, or are saved by an outside force. or a ticking time bomb figuratively.
EFAP should like this one the most. It's Gay
Freddy why!? Completely sent me.
This is why MST3K was better with just a guy and two robots making fun of a movie instead of 8 people.
It may be the "gayest one", probably not the best one, but for some reason, especially from my childhood memories, the second Elm Street movie is the most memorable one 😅😅😅
God I remember watching this movie with 0 context… the last thing I remember thinking was,” this was REALLY gay… was this some kind of allegory for being gay or some shit?” Yes… the creators admitted it was an excuse to make a movie about being gay…
The bird prediction 😂
You know how there's always something that scared you as a small child that's laughable now you're an adult?? Freddy Kruger haunted my dreams for a whole year when I was a 5yo. I'm so embarrassed 😳 lol
as a 5yo many things are scary that you would feel embarrassed about now. don't be lol
Loving the Powerwolf/music edits in general. Caught the green and glass one too--got to see both Archers and Powerwolf live just recently. Really dope.
We need a compilation of Rags predictions
Thank you for Glockenspiel Nosferatu, Wolf. I like him.
FREDDY IS LIKE THE BIRD
IN THE CAGE
HE WANTS TO SEE THE SUN
I realised yesterday that Nightmare of elm street 1984, the opening scene is copied in Terrifier 1 now that i realise
