I actually like Yvonne and here's why...

"A lot of people complain about her character surviving and think she should've died, but I don't think so."

I really wished Greta and Mark had lived, I think they would have made a cute couple, AND I think Greta would have believed Alice eventually, and Mark already did. I woud have been ok with Dan and Yvonne dying.



"I can't blame Yvonne for not believing Alice at first because I don't know if I would've either. The idea of Freddy Krueger does seem very farfetched in reality."


But it's as I said, I think when you see a bunch of teens just dying in all these strange ways, that's pretty good evidence that something out of the ordinary is going on.

Create a society in which you would like to live, not knowing what you're going to come into it as.

Honestly, nothing that happened in that movie counted as "evidence" to the notion that a child killer who had been burned alive was supernaturally killing children in their sleep as revenge. I would be questioning why people were dying, but I find it hard to believe any sane and rational person would contemplate that premise as the answer.

I'd rationalize it as an epidemic drug use or some environmental factor (chemical poisoning) before thinking what Alice was saying was true. That's like saying a bunch of people in a town get cancer (which has happened in real life) and some even die and then one raving person blames the devil. Would you actually believe that or search for a more appropriate answer?

But I do understand that she came off as harsh. Yvonne could have been more understanding of Alice, even if only for the fact that their friends recently passed away. Still, calling her a bitch for trying to get Alice to get it together and to not get her fired (the scene in the hospital if I remember correctly Yvonne either did get her fired or almost did) is a bit of a stretch.

Haha, good points. She did change from an annoying throwaway character (one I am sure many wanted to die) to a survivor that actually becomes useful/sympathetic by the end of the movie. And she was attractive to boot.

That late 80s/early 90s style of hair African American women used at the time wasn't too flattering (I prefer either a natural, more curly look or a straight up Beyonce wig, but not really much in the middle). Even so, she's definitely underrated as an sexy nightmare girl, because there are so many with less abrasive personalities. Again, I liked her which is why I posted this thread in defense of her, but the writers did go a little overboard with the angry black woman stereotype.

I don't like her either but she does grow on you after awhile . She just looked alot older than someone graduating from high school too. Plus she has a mustache... (watch the graduation scene!)

I didn't like this movie but it did have good elements to it. I wish they where used properly I feel the same about part 4. That said Yvonne was a good character to have and was played by a much stronger actress than most of the people in the movie I'd argue also that for the Dream Master cast minus most of the Dream Warriors of part 3.

Anyway she was the only thing other than some actually really good visuals... though the makeup for Englund and other visuals look abysmal. Yvonne got me through the movie.

The only thing that got me through Freddy's Dead was actually some pretty decent acting and humor that sometimes worked. Still the moments where few and far between though the TV death was interesting.. no not the one from 3 the one where that kid trips out. I wish I was talking about Prime Time! lol
