“	Wes Craven: I think the only way to stop him is to make another movie. Now, I swear to you I'm gonna stay by this computer and keep writing until I finish the script, but... when the time comes, you're gonna have to make a choice. Heather Langenkamp: Choice? What kind of choice? Wes Craven: Whether or not you will be willing to play Nancy one last time.	„

Wes Craven is the titular overarching protagonist of Wes Craven’s New Nightmare. He is a fictionalized version of the director of the same name. Like his real life self, he is the creator of the A Nightmare On Elm Street series.

His Good Ranking

What Makes Him Admirable?

• By writing and directing the first A Nightmare on elm street film, he’s ultimately responsible for it spawning five sequels, thus containing the entity for over a decade and preventing it from terrorizing humanity.
• Created a script for a seventh Nightmare film, thus trapping the entity once again and allowing Heather and her son to destroy it once and for all.
• Informed Heather about the entity and its background and how she had to play Nancy again in order to defeat it and prevent it from entering our world and terrorizing humanity.
• After Heather and her son Dylan managed to defeat/destroy the entity for good, he wrote a short letter at the end of the script thanking her for it.
• Since new nightmare takes place in the real world and has no connection to the previous six films, Wes doesn’t have to be compared to those films protagonists. With that being said, he definitely passes for keeping The Entity trapped in a story for a decade and latter writing the script for the seventh film, thus trapping the entity once again and allowing Heather to destroy the entity once and for all.

What Makes Him Inconsistent?

• He is somewhat of an extremist, as it’s implied he set up the final act of the film by having/letting The Entity kidnap Dylan (in his script) in order to force Heather into fulfilling her role as Nancy Thompson so that she could defeat him for good, even if meant endangering the two in the process.
  • NOTE: at the end of the movie, after defeating the entity, she finds Wes Craven’s finished script for the seventh A Nightmare on elm street film. Upon reading the final page, she notices dialogue from Dylan asking her if it’s a story (with Dylan saying it immediately this after), implying he knew Dylan was going to say that and that he and Heather were going to defeat the entity. While Wes did base majority of the script off of the nightmares the entity showed him (which were basically prophetic dreams of what the entity was going to do to Heather and Dylan), there would have been no way for him to have to know whether Heather succeeded at defeating or not, as it’s unlike that the entity would show him it loosing or know this since it would have been busy fighting Heather and Dylan.
