What if Freddy never got strong?

I ponder that question from time to time with each viewing. 

The scenario under consideration pertains to the comparative impact of fear induced by Jason's physical threat and Freddy's psychological manipulation on a group of children. The question that arises is whether the fear of Jason's tangible violence would outweigh the fear of Freddy's more abstract fear-inducing tactics in the minds of these children. It is indeed an intriguing question that requires deep analysis and contemplation.

Upon visualizing the scene, it becomes apparent that the teenagers are in a constant state of motion, unable to relax or sleep due to the ever-present fear of being hunted down by Jason. This heightened sense of danger dominates their thoughts, leaving no room for Freddy to elicit fear in them. The precarious situation, however, leaves unanswered the question of whether Jason's relentless pursuit and the teenagers' constant alertness would be sufficient to defeat Freddy.

One strategy that may be advantageous for Freddy is to leverage his manipulation skills to instill fear in Jason, which could potentially help him regain his lost power.

The question concerning the franchise rules established for Freddy relates to the extent of his powers over someone who is mute and known to be a relentless killing machine. This is a complex question that necessitates careful consideration and analysis of the franchise's outlined rules.
