Now without further ado, lets get into this video.
To understand who might win in a fight between these two villains, let’s talk a little
about each of them.
Starting things off with Freddy Krueger.
Freddy Krueger was born In 1942.
His mother was a nun who worked in an insane asylum.
Amanda Krueger was locked in a room with a hundred lunatics, they raped her.
Months later, the other asylum workers found Amanda, barely alive and pregnant.
While Amanda was giving birth to freddy, she died, so freddy was given to an abusive alcoholic,
Mr Underwood.
He was also bullied in childhood.
Freddy would take pleasure in self harm.
To get revenge on the children he abused, he became a child kidnapper and killer.
Even though he was burnt alive in a house fire, He made a deal with dream demons so
that he could come back and kill any child in their sleep.
He’s a shape shifter who can assume any form.
Freddy Kreuger is also not of the real world.
He stalks victims through their dreams.
He has a huge clawed hand that he uses to slash his victims.
We know that pennywise feeds on fear, but would freddy Krueger really fear him?
Freddy was once a human.
He died and made a deal with dream demons.
He’s essentially the sandman.
Like pennywise, freddy also feeds on fear.
But freddy isn’t invincible.
You can’t kill freddy in the dream world, but you can weaken his power by not fearing
him.
It is possible to bring freddy out of the dream world if your will is strong enough.
This makes him mortal, and he loses many of his supernatural abilities.
Freddy can die in the real world.
Freddy’s biggest weakness is fire.
He’s extremey afraid of fire.
Now, lets talk a little about pennywise.
Pennywise isn’t actually a clown, He is an outer god called It that exists outside
space and time.
But For some reason, it decided to terrorise the inhabitants of earth.
It takes the form of whatever is scariest to you.
He can determine whatever you’re most afraid of, and take that form.
It takes the form of a clown because children are notoriously scared of clowns.
It loves children because children are easier victims, they get scared a lot more easily
than adults do.
I beg to differ.
I am way more scared of clowns than the average 5 year old.
Pennywise’s true form is the deadlites.
Humans cant comprehend the deadlights, it takes the form of a spider.
The spider is the closest our minds can come to comprehending the deadlights without going
insane.
If a human so much as looks at the deadlights, they could go insane or even be killed.
That being said, Pennywise isn’t entirely invincible.
If you don’t fear pennywise, he doesn’t have any power over you.
The thing about pennywise is that he can be defeated for the time being, but he can’t
be eradicated entirely.
Lets not forget that Pennywise is an outer god.
So who would win in a fight between pennywise and Freddy Krueger?
It honestly depends where this fight takes place.
If it happens in the dream world, freddy would likely have the upper hand.
But if it were in the real world…
Lets say the fight begins in the dream realm.
It would try to kill freddy by taking different forms.
A vampire, a warewolf, then a shark.
But seeing as this is the dream realm, these forms do little to phase freddy, and he slashes
each shape that It takes.
But freddy becomes frustrated by the fact that he cant seem to kill It.
It keeps coming back as yet another form.
Then, the tables turn, as the fight leaves the dream realm, and freddy is brought into
the real world.
Seeing as It is an outer god, I think its within the realm of possibility that It could
will freddy into the real world.
If pennywise brought freddy out of the dream would, and took the form of fire it could
become possible to scare freddy.
Pennywise could then return to his true form, the deadlights.
And if freddy is in the real world, he essentially becomes mortal, and could theoretically die
in the presence of the deadlights.
Lets remember that It is truly immortal, it can’t be killed.
Freddy got his powers from Dream Demons, he’s not a god himself.
So Pennywise is the clear winner of this fight.
