Two weeks ago, they aired ANOES2 on primetime. Each Monday, they are airing an ANOES movie, it's a recap marathon. How cool!
I must say that Mark's acting performance is 100% fantastic and outstanding. Jesse is now my
third
fave character in the saga, right after Alice and Nancy.
By the way, I think Freddy truly looks, feels and sounds very different in this movie. His powers are radically different, as you already know: he can affect reality in a
much
greater way. My theories about Jesse being superpowered "by default" (telekinesis and telepathy) or being a Dream Warrior don't work so much. I don't like them anymore.
Thus I've elaborated a new, interesting theory about this just a theory as always. This is now my
personal canon
about ANOES2:
Prior to the events depicted in the ANOES2 movie, Freddy had temporarily merged with a demonic essence known as "The Heat Entity".
A demonic spirit from the Hell or an alternate limbo, travelling through various dimensional planes. This drastically affected Freddy's personality, appearance (facial make-up) and dream powers, to the point Freddy/Heat Entity could alter the surrounding reality to a certain degree.
The Hybrid Freddy picked up Jesse as human vessel to instill fear, death and even break the dream boundaries in a permanent way.
It didn't work, and I assume the events of ANOES2 led "The Heat Entity" to dissociate from its host, Freddy, leaving him weak and defeated.
The very ending of the movie - the final ride on the bus, set in the Dreamworld - marks the return of the former Freddy Krueger "dream avatar/spirit".
Do you like this idea? I think it's perfect.

I have a theory that this should be on the Nightmare on Elm Street 2 board

I have my own theory that when Nancy brought him out from her dream (into real life), by doing so, she opened that portalgiving him that ability to manifest more easily in reality. The portal never closed properly.

Good theory, I also heard a theory that part 2 actually takes place after Dream Child, which would explain why Freddy was so powerful in this one ~as well as in Freddy's Dead~ That way part 3 would be a direct sequel to part 1 more as it should be.
