It should have been about Robert Englund dealing with the real Freddy Krueger

AngularTurnip, you have beaten me to entering this area, but are still making a different statement from the one that I have been about to present. You are saying that Robert Englund should be Freddy's victim from the start. That is a good idea, but would not work since Robert serves as a bridge between Heather Langenkamp and Freddy. It would also bring too much darkness to the story and turn the movie in to a drama. Robert's middle ground is very important because it emphasizes his ambivalence. He feels that he is losing his identity as the monster whom he has always been in control of and had fun with is threatening him, yet he wants to protect others from the demon. The latter is a result of Robert's guilt for playing fictional Freddy which he thinks is responsible for allowing living Freddy to enter the real world. Heather is unnecessarily but understandably developing a fear of her close friend Robert, demonstrating that the boundaries of truth are no longer clear to her. That ought to be capitalized through the actor proving that he is separate from Freddy. It bothers me that Robert simply disappears after admitting his trouble. He should be the one to defeat Freddy and rescue Dylan and Heather. I don't object to Heather's fighting Freddy, but since the demon has moved in to life through his being portrayed, it would be much more fitting for Robert to declare that his character only exists in movies which would remove all power from Freddy. In that case, maybe Freddy would die instead of just being sent back to hell.
