| 2 | * Part 2 seems to be a BroadStrokes entry in the franchise, as Freddy's MO is so different from the first film, as well as subsequent sequels. But it makes sense when you consider what we learn later in Freddy vs. Jason; that Freddy requires fear to operate. He's able to enter a victim's dream in that movie, but his attacks have no effect; there isn't enough fear of him yet to make the dream real. Something similar in hindsight seems to happen at the end of the first film; Nancy is last seen being attacked by him once more, but is alive in movie 3. If we assume that his defeat at her hands by taking back the energy she gave him weakened him enough that he could enter dreams, but not harm people, then movie two makes sense. By appearing in the real world and killing some random teens, all the survivors of that party will now fear him. Hence why he is able to return to dreamstalking in movie three. |
| 3 | * Freddy getting sillier with each movie makes sense when you realize that he's probably gotten bored with just slashing his victims, and now he's having more fun with it. He's still just as vile a child murderer, only made worse because he treats it like a game or a cartoon. |

| 6 | * Hypnocil seems like an effective defense against Freddy, but ''Freddy Vs. Jason'' reveals that it can potentially render long-term users comatose. There are two possible explanations for this. One is that the drug actually does put people into a coma, which means Nancy was ''extremely'' lucky to make it through the years between the first and third films without winding up comatose. The other is that Hypnocil actually ''has'' no such side effect, but Freddy - not wanting to let some mere medication spoil his fun - has been capturing victims alive, Joey-style, the instant the medicine wore off, in a calculated attempt to discredit the drug. Either option is pretty horrible. |
| 7 | ** Hypnocil was stated as "experimental" in ''Dream Warriors'', and noted as ''still'' being "experimental" in ''Freddy vs. Jason''. Some twenty years have gone by and this drug still hasn't made it through the FDA approvals process? This indicates that there is, indeed, something very wrong with it, and its use at Westin Hills is pretty much intended to be the best of bad options. The comatose patients who "were given too much Hypnocil" may be from long-term use, or may be because it's a very finicky drug to dose correctly, and overdoses send people into comas. Which means that Nancy was, indeed, very lucky that she didn't accidentally overdose herself. |
| 8 | ** And depending on if you go along with the idea that the 2010 remake offered, where people (in the remake, Nancy) can still dream even in a coma state, ''Freddy has access to all those people in the unending comas that they got as a result of the hypnocil that was supposed to keep them from Freddy in the first place. Forever.'' |
