Dr. Phil is lame. Not what I came to comment on but ye.

Jung vs Freud is too incestuous (heh) a matchup. They fill the same void and Jung is nowhere near the level of Freud in the modern cultural consciousness.

Freud vs Krueger has contrast that makes it sound funny but any idea of Freud vs a psycho seems to miss the point of Freud specifically, or focuses too much on him just be a psychotherapist for it to be a good use of him. And yes, I do realize Freddy specifically has the dream angle to go along with it, but at least personally I do not consider that to be Freud's most well-known aspect.*

Going off of that last point, Mother Teresa, while also being just a hilarious concept for a rap battle, especially against Freud, has the connection that to me best encapsulates the thing Freud is actually known for above all else. Maybe I'm just too in my own head to see that this is not the case, but when you say Freud, you're talking about the guy who said we want to fuck our moms. If that's the case, it would be best to have an opponent that best works with that, and that is unquestionably Teresa.

All of that said, Kung's semi-joke suggestion is actually a kind of fun way for everyone to be happy, but I wouldn't necessarily want it for a real ERB, just a neat fanmade interpretation.


 * I wanted to save this for after so as not to distract from the main issue at hand, but another reason not to do Freud vs Krueger is because Freddy vs Wolverine is a fun idea that should be done.
