I mean, there’s no question that Mary wouldn’t win, right? Even without getting into the supplementary stuff by other writers, she’s an apparently immortal magician who is easily able to enter fictional/pocket worlds (see: jumping into a chalk drawing).

#As Mary’s job is kind of about creating a cushion of fantasy to ease troubled families through hard times to help the kids grow up to be somewhat decent people, if she were to somehow end up in Elm Street on one of her wanderings, I could see her easily turning Freddy into a Teachable Moment about how nightmares can’t hurt you or how evil monsters appear in stories to show that they can be defeated (as Neil Gaiman or GK Chesterton apparently once said).

Heck in the original books she’s apparently older than mountain ranges, is on first name terms with the primal forces of the universes, and is implied to be God’s nanny. The question isn’t so much who would win, so much as what would Mary do to Freddy to make an example out of someone who intentionally hurts children?

That said, as much as I kinda lost patience with the League of Extraordinary Gentleman books years ago, Alan Moore’s dialogue for Mary is excellent.

#horror#mary poppins#nightmare on elm street#even if she was a run of the mill human she’d win because she has no fear

That is also true.

Also, just reminded me of this fun Paul Kidby art of Susan Sto-Helit, a character from the Discworld novels, who in addition to being Death’s granddaughter is also a former nanny and a very successful teacher of primary school age children.

…Yeah, her character arc kinda takes from from being goth Mary Poppins to goth Miss Frizzle, and that’s just part of the reason she’s great.

Oh my gosh that’s the best way to describe her :D

Also yes seriously, Freddy Kreuger would not stand a chance here
