Freddy vs. Jason

(The 2016 Nostalgia-Ween opening plays out. After that, we see NC in the prop room watching a set-up stage while holding a notepad and a pen)

NC: Okey-dokey. Uh, Dorothy vs. Alice.

(We see Tamara on the stage, playing both a scared Dorothy and a sadistic Alice)

Dorothy: Oh, dear! I don't think we're in G-rating anymore, Toto!

(Alice pulls out a knife and stabs a screaming Dorothy off-screen)

NC: Very nice, very nice. Star Wars vs. Star Trek.

(We next see Malcolm, who's wearing a Star Trek shirt, on stage being confronted by Darth Vader)

Vader: Jordy, I am your father.

Malcolm: Oh, so you're a black guy.

Vader: No. Where on Earth would you get an idea like that?

NC: Ash...

(Tamara comes onstage again, dressed as Ash Ketchum from Pokemon)

Ash: Pikachu, I choose you!

(An animated Pikachu pops up and says its name)

NC (off-screen): ...vs. Ash.

(Ash from the Evil Dead movies (played by Trevor) comes onstage with a chainsaw. He uses the chainsaw to slice Pikachu to pieces. NC notices the camera)

NC: Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic. I remember it so you don't have to. Vs. battles are everywhere now.

(Images of famous crossover movies, mainly Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, are shown as NC speaks)

NC (vo): At least, in terms of talking about movies. Granted, there was certainly a few in the old days with monster films (King Kong vs. Godzilla), but for years, even when audiences demanded a crossover, it almost never happened. But nowadays, producers are finally waking up and using their copyrights wiser...well, for the most part... (An image of NC's Where's the Fair Use video is shown briefly) ...and getting vs. battles we've always wanted to see (Captain America: Civil War), even if sometimes, we wish we didn't see them (Alien vs. Predator: Requiem).

NC: So this Nostalgia-Ween, I'm trying to see if I can cash in on the next big fad. (Hears Ash crying) Oh, suck it up!

(Ash Ketchum is crying while holding a decapitated Pikachu's head, while Ash (Evil Dead) just watches)

Ash: Pokemon, go fuck yourself.

(He leaves as Ash continues weeping over Pikachu)

NC: If you're wondering where a lot of this started in recent years, you could make the very real argument that it was possibly Freddy vs. Jason.

(The logo of the movie is shown, before showing clips from the movie. During the opening thoughts, footage and posters of previous Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street movies are shown as well)

NC (vo): Like many franchises, these started off from groundbreaking starts and deteriorated to ground-burying corpses, or in this case, the same thing. Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street were horror classics of the 80s that were given so many sequels, they became literally comical. I'm still shocked a poster for Jason Takes Manhattan doesn't look like this.

(The poster for The Muppets Take Manhattan is shown, with Kermit's head being replaced with Jason's head)

NC: They got so silly and crowd-pandering that audiences demanded the ultimate crowd-pandering. (Two video games showing Freddy and Jason are shown) After that. (Posters of the two 3D movies of the two franchises are shown) After that, too. (Two images of the TV shows based on both franchises are shown) Christ these movies. It was bringing them together!

(We resume showing clips from the movie)

NC (vo): After years of begging, they finally made it happen. And who better to take charge of these two classic monsters than the director of Chucky's comeback with a question mark (The poster for Bride of Chucky is shown, with the caption "Chucky's Comeback?") and, of course, the warm-up bad Last Airbender movie? (The poster for Warriors of Virtue is shown)

NC: Let's wrap up Nostalgia-Ween with one of the biggest horror crossovers ever. (An image of Kingdom Hearts: Recoded is shown) Good guess. Freddy vs. Jason!

(The movie starts)

NC (vo): It opens with Freddy Kruger remember the good old days of the bad old days.
