Topic	THE Snake Ranks Anything Horror Related (Vol. 5) 5th Anniversary RANKINGS
Snake5555555555 10/18/20 1:41:35 AM #216:	65. Nancy Thompson (17 points) Nominated by: RaidenGarai (0/5 remaining) Importance: 6 Fear: 1 Snake: 10 AKA the best final girl of all time. Whilst Laurie Strode and Sally Hardesty may have held their own against formidable dangers, none took matters into their own hands quite like Nancy Thompson did. Hardly just a wimpy bystander, Nancy was an active participant who sought action against arguably the most dangerous slasher of all time. She learned survival skills, was spunky and firm with everyone from her parents to her best friends, and did everything in her power to stay awake by sheer force of will (and a few dozen cups of caffeine straight to the bloodstream). She is played to crisp perfection by Heather Langenkamp, who embodies Nancy's unbound teenage angst with a purpose hardly seen in the 80s slasher landscape, as her parents' divorce eats away at her innocence years before Freddy's claw graces the bubbles of her bathtub. If we look at Freddy as representing Nancy's coming-of-age, then her struggles with her mom's alcoholism and diminishing lack of faith in once-idolized adult figures frames Nancy's story as one forged in fire, in which Nancy is shown to be undeniably human, at once frightened and vulnerable, but using those negative feelings to empower her own sense of self-worth, preferring to face her problems head-on rather than let them languish inside the confines of her mind. These traits make Nancy a timeless character anyone can look up to, but especially remains a relevant, powerful feminist icon as the people surrounding her refuse to believe her "stories" about Freddy, eerily reminiscent of the MeToo movement and the struggles many women have in relating their experiences out of fear of being ridiculed or discredited. The battle of Freddy vs. Nancy is one based out of psychological warfare, and this expansive slate is a springboard for all matter of interpretations, which is what makes Nancy an endlessly compelling character and Freddy the perfect antagonist as a breeding ground for vigorous symbolism, complimenting each other and relating to the human experience like no other in the world of horror. --- And it's gonna be a long October, and I don't have reasons to believe, in much of anything, alright https://imgur.com/1e1e70S <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:945985886] in THE Snake ...
