Super Freak
I grew up with Englund Freddy and he will always be my Freddy. I don't mind a remake, but like Leatherface, Jason and Myers remakes, they are never the same spirit as the original, don't regard the events of the original except to rip off some of the scene, and therefor don't matter to my beloved slashers.
This does look more like a real burn victim instead of the melted cheese pizza inspired classic makeup, but to me that actually makes him less Freddy. Englund's makeup may not have looked truly real, but it had way more character than this.
That's why I'm a little worried that they're removing the humor from the script. Doing so would make it more in context with the Halloween remake, utilizing the polar opposite to renew the concept, as it's that very humor that makes Freddy original and a standout among his genre peers.
