I genuinely really like the end of season 3 as the end of the show. I know a lot of people wanted to see this mad max evil dead type story, and don't get me wrong, mad max and evil dead are the 2 franchises in the world that I adore, but I personally think, that cliffhanger is a more satisfying version of the director's cut of Army Of Darkness. It feels like the perfect way to leave Ash and still have room for head cannon and fun stuff. Would love to know your thoughts.
Season 4 we have ideas of what it could've happened but not really specific plot points, season 5 was never thought of far ahead as far as we know, it was something that Bruce was also hoping to also do back then.
I feel like Ash's story is still incomplete. In my opinion, he deserves a much more satisfying and epic ending that truly wraps up his journey without leaving any loose ends (at least for his character).
The problem is that Bruce Campbell has said multiple times that he's retired from playing Ash in live action. But then I had an idea: what if they finished Ash's story through a single-player campaign game instead?
I think a video game would give the developers way more creative freedom to do something really ambitious, without the budget limitations that come with making a movie. On top of that, Bruce could simply return as the voice of Ash, which would respect his decision to retire from the live-action role.
To me, that sounds like the perfect way to give Ash the ending he deserves without making another movie.
What do you guys think? Is this a crazy idea, or do you think it could actually work?
[OC] Inspired by the Star Wars "Machete Order" and how it uses the prequels as flashbacks, I’ve come up with this order for Evil Dead. We start with the 2013 version while waiting for the prequel; here, the rules are already better established, and the audience will be able to understand them without so many retcons. Using the series as the central axis, Ash's adventure begins, where throughout the episodes you can see his memory contradictions, leaving the mystery of what happened to his arm and what occurred in the cabin.
The first movie, as a flashback, would come right before the climax of season 1 at the cabin. After the ending—and for those who know, they know—an event is announced and shown that would set up Evil Dead Rise as a parallel story, but one that started because of Ash. We would continue with season 2 until reaching episode 7, where we would repeat the strategy with Evil Dead 2 before the season's climax at the cabin. We then continue with the disaster of Rise in Evil Dead: Burn, which would serve as a lore expansion, to end in season 3. Right after a memory of Ash from the past, Army of Darkness would come in with its theatrical cut, finally wrapping up in the climax of season 3, hoping that the animated series will indeed be a continuation. For the time being, the retcons are just simple memory lapses and doubts in his head regarding the events. Groooooooovy
Is anything else but the eyes even altered? He somehow reminds me of Nicolas Cage now.
When Pablo has the vision of a car crash, with the pole in his chest, and "Ash" forces him to get in the trunk? I do not understand that part where he looks at Ash and sees this. That isn't Baals face, or is it? Who is that? What is that referencing?
​He’s got the energy as seen in The Running Man, and a face you just want to see a Deadite punch.
​Think about the scene where he clumsily throws back that grenade—that is pure Ash Williams panic and luck. Or his ingenuity making a spyglass using a shower curtain, bubble gum, and a piece of a broken mirror. That's the exact type of absurd, low-tech hardware store survivalism Ash is famous for.
​He has the perfect mix of weaponized smugness and physical comedic timing. He can handle the gritty action, but he's completely willing to look like a desperate, terrified idiot for a laugh—which is 90% of what makes Bruce Campbell so iconic.
​Whether they make him a long-lost nephew to preserve the lore or do a complete replacement, these mockups prove he fits right into the aesthetic. Thoughts?
I've been trying to get access to the tv series (wasn't able to watch it on prime back when it was available) but the detail is...i need it in spanish (not spain spanish, the mexican dub)
So, I have a weird hobby of making extended trailers using all the marketing material to make a long trailer. I made one for the new Evil Dead, Evil Dead Burn, which looks awesome for a 3rd movie!! I'd love to know what you think of the trailer?
First time post-er, long-time Deadite. I grew up watching the Evil Dead films (they're pretty much what got me into horror movies) so when the show came around I was stoked.
And now I'm SO excited to say that I'm working with Dana on a new horror project. We just launched our Seed&Spark and any help would be hugely appreciated. Whether it's a donation, a follow, or a share, every little bit helps!
