I'm sure I'm coming to this realization really late in the game and someone has brought this up before, but is it possible Willow happened in the Star Wars universe? Would it be that much of a stretch?
One could no doubt construct a universe that encompassed both, but they don't seem cleanly reconcilable to me. Obviously, there was no space travel or aliens (that are identifiable as such) in Willow. And while magic/sorcery exists in the Willow world, it does not seem consistent with the Force. I think Willow could almost fit in the Conan universe!
Wrong. The two Ewok films -- WHICH ARE CANON -- establish that there is, in fact, magic in the SW universe outside of the Force.
Who says the Force has to be consistent? I can see how it could manifest its self differently depending on the culture that wields it.
If you don't need the worlds to be consistent then sure. You could make The Wizard of Oz occupy a common universe with A Nightmare on Elm Street. But why would you want to?
Why wouldn't you? I mean, one of the first things that happens in The Wizard of Oz is that a house gets dropped on a nasty old woman and Dorothy steals her shoes. I don't know about the second part, but the first part is something that Freddie would approve of, I'm sure.
What's consistent about the Force though? Chirrut Îmwe wasn't a Jedi, but he wielded the Force in kind of a Taoist way didn't he?
It has already crossed over. Freddy was the wicked witch in Freddy's Dead The final Nightmare. Barely anyone watched it but it is cannon.
It's perfectly consistent. Just walk it through. "Size matters not" works in both directions. Not just rocks and x-wings, but molecules. And if you can manipulate molecules, you can make lightning, fire, and cold. Add on kaibur crystals property of magnifying the force, and you can make storms. Wear the kaibur crystals as amulets and rings, and say spells, boom, magic. Easy-peasy. And I repeat, Witches of Dathomir. They're canon. They revived Darth Maul.
hey, I did not say I have not watched it, and it does always end my binges of nightmare. However, if you are watching elm st for the horror aspect it is best to skip to new nightmare, and even the reboot is a lot better of a horror movie than Freddy's Dead. I think even freddy vs jason had more horror value than this. This was a pure freddy comedy IMO. I like freddy comedy, but he is not what he was in 1 and 3, and it is sort of a falloff from the dream warrior idea that kept me involved with Alice.
On one hand, I kinda agree, but on the other hand...scary-Freddy, funny-Freddy, Robert Englund is good as both, and I'll watch the shit out of either.
I think we are pretty much agreeing. However, funny freddy did lose the fans that only wanted scary freddy. They could have done a lot more to tie FD into the earlier movies. I guess they just lost me at the representation of the town. That was just too goofball while they were somewhat trying to take the rest on a serious note like they did in the other series.
They did in an Easter egg-y way if not a direct way. When he cuts his fingers off and counts out the ways he's been killed, the ones he lists are 1, 2, and 3, and the very act of cutting the fingers goes back to 1. The Nancy house having a red door goes back to 2 (but that one works for 2, 3, 4 and 5 too). The sidewalk chalk pictures references 4. Katherine Krueger being Jump-rope Girl connects to all of them. And, I think if you pause that timeline on the wall in the school, the events of the previous 5 are in that too. Rachel Tallalay says she was going for a Twin Peaks vibe.
That would explain it as I really thought twin peaks was plastic and annoying. I recognize a lot of the callbacks as a fan, but it was that plastic vibe that irritated me about the movie.
seems to me that NoES would occupy TWoO universe... a subtle, but significant nuance. The Land of Oz existed only in Dorothy's unconscious state. 50 years later, her descendants are still plagued by the vengance seeking dream spirit, Elphaba/Freddy.
