I noticed all the NOES movies have similar characters to replace the one before.
Yvonne was the Debbie of part 5, just as Debbie became the Tyran of part 4, and Tracie is the Yvonne of part 6, the "tough girls".
Though out of all of them Debbie was the sweetest I think.

Haha, good points. She did change from an annoying throwaway character (one I am sure many wanted to die) to a survivor that actually becomes useful/sympathetic by the end of the movie. And she was attractive to boot.
That late 80s/early 90s style of hair African American women used at the time wasn't too flattering (I prefer either a natural, more curly look or a straight up Beyonce wig, but not really much in the middle). Even so, she's definitely underrated as an sexy nightmare girl, because there are so many with less abrasive personalities. Again, I liked her which is why I posted this thread in defense of her, but the writers did go a little overboard with the angry black woman stereotype. -

It is weird that she survived, but in the end I wasn't mad about it. It helped give the movie a more empowered ending than usual seeing Alice with her father, best friend and new baby boy. It felt like this time Krueger had actually been more humiliated in his defeat that a character like Yvonne managed to slip through his cracks.

I didn't like this movie but it did have good elements to it. I wish they where used properly I feel the same about part 4. That said Yvonne was a good character to have and was played by a much stronger actress than most of the people in the movie I'd argue also that for the Dream Master cast minus most of the Dream Warriors of part 3.
Anyway she was the only thing other than some actually really good visuals though the makeup for Englund and other visuals look abysmal. Yvonne got me through the movie.
The only thing that got me through Freddy's Dead was actually some pretty decent acting and humor that sometimes worked. Still the moments where few and far between though the TV death was interesting.. no not the one from 3 the one where that kid trips out. I wish I was talking about Prime Time! lol -

Yvonne is this film's Tina from Halloween 5 both characters I love dearly and most people don't.
Yvonne to me is very natural and fits in very well with the other characters in the series with her skepticism and general caring for others well being I think her character adds a great deal of depth to the film.
Yvonne just like Tina from Halloween 5 can be annoying at times but they both show more lovable moments than the annoying moments they have.
Yvonne tells Alice you should be more worried about your Baby and expresses some genuinely good traits. -

I admit I didn't care for her at first, but she does grow on you after a while (can't really fault her for not believing Alice at first, cause honestly the idea of a dream stalking boogeyman is a bit of a hard pill to swallow). I liked her development over the course of the film, and was honestly glad she lived (made for a more unexpected turn of events).
That aside, I still wish Mark didn't have to die, but I guess they needed a sufficient body count for the film (and two probably was a bit on the low side).
