To be fair, Freddy is the creation of Wes Craven, not Robert Englund. As much as we all liked what Robert did with Freddy throughout the years, that's still his interpretation. Wes created the character and as everyone knows, he was supposed to be a child molester and/or killer, not just child killer. So if this movie sticks closer to Wes's original vision of Freddy, who's to say who the "real" Freddy was. Needless to say, Freddy has been different in one way or another in almost every film. We only consider Robert to be the definitive Freddy because of the years he's played him and the fact that we've never seen anyone else take on the role. It's not fair to be that blind-devoted, as many Kane Hodder fans are with Jason, as if he were in the 6 preceding movies before his own.
