Ash vs Evil Dead is the best thing to happen to Deadite fans since the invention of the chainsaw.
But nothing is ever that simple.
More importantly, this wasnt a spinoff or reboot, but a full-onEvil Deadrevival.
It didnt let me down.
Not in the slightest.
All referencingArmy of Darknesscould possibly do would be to add more backstory to Ashs already convoluted and traumatic history.
How could this be?
How could Ash return from the damn Middle Ages and just never speak of it again?
He makes up enough stories in the series to get laid.
Pretending it was never there.
Brushing it under the moldy, bloodstained rug, if you will.
So, what was it?
Was it a dream?
It seems that even Mr. Campbell is having a hard time reconciling the fact.
Yes,Evil Dead 2pretty much rewrote the story of the firstEvil Deadfilm.
Then again, dont rule anything out, either.
So I would say that would be on the table as well.
Were having the discussions with the writing team now where were like Okay, season 2!
After all, the series has to gosomewherein future seasons.
Why not hop around time?
It is fantasy, after all, and anything can happen.
Even a man chopping off his own demon-possessed hand and replacing it with a chainsaw.
How did it do this?
With the introduction of Pablo and Kelly.
It will be interesting to see how these new characters change in future episodes.
And will Kelly ever be able to shake her rough-around-the-edges approach to life?
For better or for worse.
After all these years, were going to meet Ashs father, played by Lee Majors, no less.
While this news is kinda strange, its sure to bring more wackiness to an already crazy series.
Ted Raimi will be around for season 2, as well.
Longtime fans will know Ted from his work in previousEvil Deadmovies.
Maybe hell be returning as Henrietta?
Hell, anything is possible at this point.
Itll be a full-on family reunion!
Full House…but dead!
Which begs the question; where to now?
The first season went off without a hitch and featured a ton of great additions to the universe.
The new characters were excellent, especially final girl Jane Levy.
How many times will movies be wiped over until fans start getting irritated that the stories barely ever connect?
As weve already established, continuity is just not something anyone should expect fromanythinginvolving Ash Williams.
Much like his life, the stories he is featured in seem to be all over the place.
And thats okay; were talking about a goofy, crazy series which revolves around demons and one-liners.
The more craziness, the better.
At this point, its honestly a moot point to try and create a definitive timeline.
The franchise is nuts.
The timeline is wacky.
Are we to throw away all of ourArmy of Darknesscomic books and VHS tapes?
No television show can ever change that.
No matter how groovy it may be.
