12:10 “he chose the path of perpetual sorrow.
And the will call him...... THE DOOMSLAYER!”
CANON!
"So you walk eternally through the shadow realms, standing against evil where all others falter. May your thirst for retribution never quench, may the blood on your sword never dry, and may we never need you again..."
Cordery, this theory is so fucking awesome! Makes me love my favorite movie series all over again! What a badass gift, Bro 😎
Bro it's my favourite film franchise too 👌 your the man
Ashe isnt dumb, he has physics, chemistry, and steam engineering books in the trunk of his Car (See Army of Darkness) he rebuilt his car in to a battle tank, built a mechanical hand for himself and made Gun powder. Hes not dumb, cocky? Yes, ignorant? Probably, insane? Definitly, stupid? I doubt it.
That doesn't make him smart, just means he can read.
He's kind of an idiot savant, of sorts. Pretty dumb and careless in most situations, but surprisingly adept in certain areas like mechanics.
@@trickshot646 Ha ha ha ha! Yeah he can read and reverse engineer a car in to a battle tank with no means of modern technology. Seems like a clever person to me, maybe being able to read helped him?
@@trickshot646 if you met a guy in real life who had built a mechanical hand without modern tools and linked a helicopter rotor to a car you would probably assume he was a genius.
A real idiot isn't measure by intelligence but instead is measure by dumb decisions that causes problems that could be preventable in the first place.
Evil is always messing with Ash because...
He's a little goody two shoes! Little goody two shoes! Hehe hahaha!
He's not that good.
Good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun.
Groovy
KLAATU, BARADA, NECKTIE, NECTURN, NECOUGH. 😂
I always explain it away by saying that Ash is telling this whole story to Ted Raimi in aod, but he keeps changing details, making Ted’s character extremely skeptical to say the least.
Nah, Bruce himself explained the situation. It's just because of the fact that the rights to the movies were spread across like three companies, and the in-universe explanation is that Ash royal screwed up time, but he's not in a loop.
Did you not watch the intro to the video before you made this comment or…?
I've always wondered why Ash changed from film to film, so this may make it's way into my head canon. Great job!
Sam raimi and vruce campbell have basically said he's just going insane because of the events. You dont need the time loop to justify that
@@LiminalLight dude...... have you seen evil dead 1.... then watched 2...
@@gilligan80 yes i've seen them each a dozen times or more. I'm not arguing against the time loop theory here, but even if you see the first half hour of 2 as a revision or a recap of 1, if you're talking about his apparent rise in confidence/charisma from one to the other, he's in a group setting within the first one while he's in a one-to-one setting with a person he's obviously deep enough into a relationship with that she feels comfortable going on a secluded romantic vacation with him. The second you remove the other three people from the equation, it makes zero sense to have him be awkward and unsure in that setting.
@@gilligan80 he's going to be leagues more comfortable around someone he has a longterm, intimate, romantic relationship with
This theory explains why the necronomicon was burnt in evil dead 1 and was still there in ash vs evil dead
When you think about it, those incoherences are actually giving more depth to Ash. If we start to consider the reshoots as being part of the contuinity, I personally don't think he was stuck in a time loop but was rather slowly losing his mind to the point of having distorted memories and notions of reality, due to the amount of PTSD he has.
For example, in the intro of Evil Dead 2, he's entirely alone with his girlfriend and he has more confidence than ever because he's simply imagining his own dream world. As for the shotgun becoming a double-barelled one, it could be part of some sort of mental confusion, as if his own reality is distorted with delusions, which includes the mirror reflecting another self aware version of himself and the fact that he instantly wakes up for the second time after being attacked by his possessed dead girlfriend, as if nothing happened before.
I imagine EVIL removing his friends and putting Linda into the grave after looking at his dream.
5 stars for making me want to rewatch the franchise again. 1 star for making me wait for the sequel to this video. Over all, 5/5 stars
"If he's too dumb to possess, and too resourceful to kill, then how do the demons defeat him? By making him go insane."
Doomguy: *doubt*
Excited for this to premiere, also congrats on getting almost 100K! Well deserved Cordery!
Hes only at 99.4k?
@@gamingcantina9157 that’s still close to 100K.
@@HorrorAesthetic true but I was thinking he deserves more.
valid theory as the show shows the monsters do indeed have time travel powers. no better way to live forever than to create an infinite time loop
A theory so good Raimi himself will wish he thought of it.
Great theory. I had always hoped Ash v Evil Dead would provide a canon reason why Ash returned to the cabin, oblivious of the events that happened in the first movie. We fans know why, but a fictional canon reason would have been cool.
LOVED the TV show. Shame it got canceled so abruptly.
Last I knew, Bruce Campbell really wanted to retire his Ash character. He really wanted his Ash character to end on a high note.
But we got 3 series and I was a man who never though I would get to see my hero Ash Williams on screen again
I absolutely hated the ended of the series i wish it was different but i still wish the series was able continue
@@heretxc nothing I'd love more than some anouther few series. Actually I'd rather anouther film lol
My theory is that Evil not only can´t be defeated, it won. Whenever a deadite is killed, the demon soul returns to hell. The physical human bodies they use are disposable to them, they just fuck around with human bodies. It is not that Evil can´t kill Ash, Evil just likes to mess with Ash, kind like Joker and Batman. Evil WANNA Ash to destroy those deadites bodies, the fight, the carnage, that is Evil´s fun. Considering TV show Ash´s attitute towards killing deadites, it is fair to say this is fun for both sides. Evil successed in turning Ash into his "dance partner".
The Evil Dead (1981) is an STAND-ALONE film, Sam and Bruce already CONFIRMED this, so has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the rest.
“But hey, that’s just a theory... a film theory. And... cut.”
If I remember correctly, the Adaptation of the first film by Dark Horse Comics addresses the continuity issues between parts 1 and 2. Screen writer Mark Verheiden adapted the first film as a passion project and had the blessing of the Raimi's to sort out the continuity gafs. The publisher also adapted Army of Darkness in 1993 without the slapstick comedy. Both graphic novels are worth checking out if you're an Evil Dead completist.
In my head, Ash gets possessed at the end of ED. ED2 starts after Ash gets possessed. The opening scene with Linda is his memory of her at the cabin. Just how I sorted it out 🤘
I don’t think it’s meant to show Ash’s stupidity. I think the Raimis meant to indicate his stubbornness, willfulness, tenacity and individualism being the reasons he can’t be taken over by deadites.
I made my own cut of Evil Dead when I first started video editing back in 2004.
It's the whole first movie up to the end, when the Evil comes for through the door Ash and zooms into his face. Then you start part 2 where the Evil zooms into Ash, taking him for that joy ride through the trees and slamming him into a tree. Let the movie play till the end. You stop when Ash goes through the portal and Start part 3 as the portal opens and Ash and the car falls out.
Everything that happens after the tree slam and Ash waking up in the piddle possessed in part, lines up with the ending for part 1. It's like, after all that stuff in part one, the Evil tried to take Asj, but the morning saved him. And because Ash buried his GF in part one too, Ash seeing Linda rise up and dance in part 2 lines up too. Trust me. It just works.
You get one awesome movie marathon.
According to Bruce Campbell this is the way to watch them
I actually really like this theory, especially the idea that the change in Ash's character is caused by him subconsciously retaining the experience from the different loops. Like playing *Dead Rising* over and over until you max out your skills and memorize every event.
I had a theory that the Evil Dead series is really a multiverse, and that each entry in the franchise (including the remake, the comic books, and the video games) is a separate alternate reality with minor differences. There are some things that are constant, like every reality has a necronomicon and an Ash, but the details change.
EXACT !!!!!!!!!
The Evil Dead (1981) is an STAND-ALONE film, Sam and Bruce already CONFIRMED this, so has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the rest.
Any chance you're gonna take a shot at trying to explain why, upon his arrival to the past in Evil Dead 2 Ash is hailed as a hero but as soon as Army of Darkness kicks off he's clapped in irons and being mocked and abused? that always bugged me to the point that I now consider the entire series to simply be being told by the most unreliable of narrators.
It crossed my mind while making this. But what I can sort of speculate is that the knight's who were hailing him at the end of evil dead 2 arent the same who he works with in army of darkness. Army of darkness doesn't quiet start where Evil Dead 2 ended. He's already prisoner with another bunch of knight's from a different clan.
Oh yeah, maybe those are the Scottish clan at the end of Evil Dead 2, that makes perfect sense. Further to that, your time loop theory also kinda could work to explain the disparate Army of Darkness endings, perhaps every time a loop is completed and Ash resets it could potentially cause a tear in the timeline, one leads to the S-Mart ending and one to the Methuselah ending.
@@cordzfx thank you, generous host!
@@cordzfx Or it's just that Sam Raimi was never one for continuity?
@@solidus_spence no its the rights issues he brings up in the video, it's just a bit of fun pal, move along.
It's only been about a month since i saw this. I need to see part 2 already!
I hope part two is still coming
I like the time loop theory. The way I saw it was the original time lines is 1.
Two is him going through the same experience however it’s different because the events of 3 set a butterfly effect that change it from him and his friends to him and his girl.
3 recaps him telling it how he remembers it. Memories aren’t exactly how things played out. When the show came out though it got the butterfly effect cycle.
3 replays it from the changes made in the show. So it is an endless cycle like your theory. All in all the deadites can’t kill him cause they need him to be unleashed. However, even though he unleashes them he is also the one that can end the loop. Thus the prophecy.
My personal theory about how Ash changes is pretty much the same as yours, just without the whole endless loop thing. The entity kills all his friends, then the love of his life. It tortures him with their corpses. It tries to take him, but fails. It tries to drive him mad, and that backfires. The entity unwittingly forges him into it's greatest enemy. The next step makes perfect sense. Create their own Ash to control. But unfortunately, it would take more than a deadite copy of his body and mannerisms to defeat the original.
"ash is stuck in a time loop"
Ah, the ol' Little Nightmares treatment ay?
Interesting theory. I had never thought of a time loop before. But it sews all of the continuity errors together nicely.
Yep. Since the rights issue in real life, within the fictional universe I like this headcanon theory too of a time loop with variant scenarios that play out. It’s really interesting.
@@ParkerCS-dh7rf This is when you know the fans are awesome. They understand the continuity errors that occur in the real world, but design alternate storylines to continue the real story. lol
@@TheShmekler yep. 👍👍
There are some alternate scenes, and plot lines in the comics and video games that give this some legs. The games take place after Army, but he has to go back in time again, and when he comes back the world is destroyed. The idea is that he keeps making things worse but is trapped as being the savior, both reliving events and shooting through time, each time a little different.
Legit just replayed hail to the king and fistful of boomstick! The original dynamite comic series has the world being took over by the evil numerous times! Even fighting a version of himself that hadnt gone to the medival times that thinks he is just another deadite trick
See I didn't think he broke 4th wall, instead I think Ash was disassociating when he looked into the the camera the first time, watches himself lose control and laugh and dance, and snaps back into his body when he does it again. It's like a borderline moment.
Well now we have Ash's voice in the 20's on a record.
I was hoping it would be him but when I heard how different the voice was I was disappointed. Was that really him?
"It's called the book of the dead for a reason" that was Bruce's line. Lee Cronin the director said that he intentionally put that in there and said that he considers that to be ash Williams traveling through time again
Question: What’s the significance of the Bruce Campbell cameo in the 2013 reboot? Is it just a non canon joke gag that has no bearing on the film? That’s my thought on it too. Evil Dead 2013 is probably not part of the same universe as the ash movies, same with Rise. Both anthology films. By the way, I love the idea of Evil Dead being a multiverse thus explains the continuity errors that the rights issue had in real life.
@@brandonneal3813 I love that theory! It’s typical Ash yet again being Ash! Lol Now, question is which version of him is he that traveled back to the 20’s? There’s multiple timelines depending on the continuities and alternate intros and ending(s) of the movies (referring to Army of Darkness especially with the 2 endings for example)
"Too dumb to possess." I think they were just showing his will, or his love for Linda, was strong enough to break the possession. Ash's dumbness came about in Army of Darkness. He was not dumb in either Evil Dead, or Evil Dead II. Socially awkward in the first isn't dimwitted, it's just that. While I love Army of Darkness, it's why I prefer the first two for his character and Evil Dead II is one of my favorite movies of all time. Ash vs. The Evil Dead was ok as a series, but it's also why I don't like it as much. He's too dumb, when he wasn't before. Jake was the dumb one in Evil Dead II, and it's like they combined him and Ash into one for Army. And by the way, that's dumb as in devil-may-care dumb, or as you say later, stubbornness, or almost intentionally making himself dumb to the reality around him, because he's also a guy who can somehow make prosthetic arms of medieval metal gauntlets that work like they are wired into his brain, or the futuristic arm he makes in the TV series, or the steampunk monstrosity Deadite wrecker from his demolished car in Army.
I agree 100% with Ash losing his mind in EDII being AMAZING acting, writing, and pacing. It's great stuff and I do like the theory that he's been put through the loops so many times, by the end of EDII and in Army, he's completely had it and it plays into his overconfidence and machismo.
New theory:
Evil Dead 2 is just Ash taking too many mushrooms and having the worst trip a person could possibly have.
Theory is interesting.
So essentially, Ash was pursued and hunted by the evil force seen in the first two films.
Said force cannot kill him, and as "the chosen one" he's resistant to the power of possession the evil force so easily uses to take over literally anyone and everyone else.
Which is unusual, and unfortunate for said evil force.
As Ash is, in most respects, kind of a lovable buffoon, and should therefore be otherwise easy to kill.
So, it does the next best thing in order to keep him from fulfilling prophecy.
It attempts to drive him mad by making him relive the events of the first film no less than three times.
Making him kill, subsequently re-kill, and bury Linda (his girlfriend), no less than three times.
The Evil Dead (1981) is an STAND-ALONE film, Sam and Bruce already CONFIRMED this, so has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the rest.
Ash lacks the Delta brain wave which explains why he is unaffected by the evil...
All I see is the car driving in the brain waves all confident and shizz
I’m glad I’m not the only one mad about not having a part 2 😂
Cool theory. 🙂 I love the Evil Dead-films, but I've seen people disregard the original because 2 "remakes" it, which saddens me as it has a lot of qualities, especially considering how it was made by then amateurs and newbies. This theory, while just head-canon, gives a nice justification for keeping the original as part of the narrative. ☺️
Not a multiple time loop, just one loop, or Evil playing a mean trick making part 2 like his first time there when he never really left and it truly takes off where he gets flung..
Or maybe a time loop was Good's plan to train Ash to fight Evil?
God’s plan but that’s an awesome theory
following this theory, the evil trying to destroy him, created his nemesis by perfeccionating his killing skills and his endurance again and again and again till he was to crazy to control
Bruce explained it that if u skip the recap in 2 and start it at the spot where he's attacked at at the end on one and that's seen in two that's where the movie starts they did have the rights to the original one so they had.to re shoot it so they could have a recap
The evil dead cannot posses Ash for very long, and as he’s the chosen one, their best plan was to make him go insane and for him to join the evil. Seeing as the evil says “join us” to him in both movies. Better to have the hero on their side rather that be destroyed by said hero
I always assumed that the beginning of evil dead 2 was just the deadite torturing him as it possesses him since deadites only possess people if there dead, close to death or mentally break so it was just keeping him weak, and then after the ending of The evil dead the only reason why the evil wasn't fully gone was because there we're still some pages left
Love it! Your theory works perfectly, and it makes all the more to watch all the movies in one sitting with a break of course.
It makes perfect sense to me, I’ve always thought Ash was living in different timelines. It’s kind of like a Terminator thing, the deadites keep trying to kill him, but they can’t because he destined to destroy them. I’ve also heard the theory that Ash is dead by the time the 2nd movie begins and he’s living in his own personal hell doomed to keep living those moments forever and ever.
AAAA I NEED A PART 2 TO THISSS
This honestly makes the evil dead series even cooler. Wonderful work.
If Evil Dead 2 is the end of the cycle, how does that account for the two different depictions of Ash's hand removal and his arrival in the middle ages?
And what about the alternative ending for Army of Darkness were Ash drinks that potion that would make him sleep one century for each drop of the potion but he took one extra drop by accident. then he goes to a cave to sleep for hundreds of years. However, Ash wakes up to find a barren post-apocalyptic landscape. The final shot is Ash screaming in rage at a red sky sorounded by destroyed modern buildings.
Ash is just telling the story differently like usual
Always enjoyed evil dead when the TV series came I was blown away just waiting for next season
The evil dead 2 was more of a remake. They had more money from the first one and was able to make a better movie.
But this is interesting. Evil dead 2 is my all time favorite horror.
First I thought “Oh yeah just a theory” and left thinking “Oh my god YES!”
This is genius.
Funny enough, I watched Evil Dead II this morning!
Excellent Theory man now I can watch the entire franchise from a whole new aspect thank you
I love this channel. Please never leave us.
Oh damn, this will be groovy.
While Bruce Campbell already confirmed how the events play out (ignore the beginning of Evil Dead 2, and start the movie right after Ash gets possesed...because the "canon" version of the first night is the first movie, you can actually see Ash's friends souls at the end of ED2 as part of the giant demon), I do think Ash lost his mind in the chair scene, after that he starts with the one-liners, puts a freaking chainsaw where his hand used to be, starts killing demons like nothing...and I think him breaking the fourth wall was intentional.
I always saw the intro to ED2 being because Ash got brain damage and it temporarily made him forget who he brought to that cabin with him, only to be reminded when he got home because his dad and the people in town were probably asking him “where the hell are Cheryl, Scotty and Shelly? You were the last one to see them alive”
One thing I noticed, there's no chainsaw where it's supposed to be in the second movie, instead a chalk drawing of the chainsaw, conventionally chalk drawings are used to leave markings in time loops (for example call of duty zombies, the characters are stuck in a time loop until they complete the easter egg).
This fits so well that it makes me wonder whether or not it's what the Raimis came up with specifically to deal with the rights issues, as a way of working them into the story...
This is really damn good and yeah i mean makes enough sense i mean they did basically that in ash vs evil dead so i mean if it almost worked before...
I think Evil Dead 2 is a dream world or something like that.
I looked for the second part before realising this was recent 😭 can't wait for part 2
Very interesting theory! It would also make sense why in the 2nd film, the knights basically worship him, and in the 3rd, arrest him along with the army. Maybe he started looping again in the middle ages and the situation slowly changed until he is able to break out of it again.
It's like, I didn't know I could love this franchise anymore, but then you bring up this beautiful theory
You make him sound like doom marine from the Doom series, but there is only one difference, like every time evil rises Doom Marine wakes up
"So you walk eternally through the shadow realms, standing against evil where all others falter. May your thirst for retribution never quench, may the blood on your sword never dry, and may we never need you again..."
Finish the timeloop theory please its been over a year😔😣😭
Very good theory, makes sense !! :D
I just considered the inconsistencies as Ash telling the story to someone else, but volontarily omitting certain details, to get faster to the point, mistaking things, or sometimes even lying ^^
You end it with To Be Continued, and there is no part 2. Over a year later!
Which if you think about it, is keeping very much in the vein of evil dead.
@@michaelroque2662 Not really though. Even though there was a gab, the story continued in Multiple media, Comics, Video Games, TV Shows.
@@Tharsos2099 All of which came out many years after the original,
Some if the comics are really awesome too. Apparently there is a comic that deals with a female version of Ash, who is partially possessed by evil and has a demonic hand that turns into a chainsaw, and an alien whose name translates to, "what remains if a burnt forest." In that comic evil is trying to kill ash in all dimensions and in all timelines. So it's also a possibility that every incarnation we see of Ash is a different version or timeline. This would explain the inconsistencies between movies such as the knights hailing Ash at end if evil dead 2, but arresting himinArmy of Darkness
Plus you get the Re-Animator, Marvel Zombies and Freddy vs Jason vs Ash crossovers that are a lot of fun too.
I normally don't care for fan theories but this one totally makes a lot of sense. Not only is the time anomalies and alternate realities a plot point in the movies but there is some of that in the show as well. Also just want to throw this out there, Ash is a lefty and I just found out on PBS Eons that lefties brains are wired a bit differently. Things seem to process more linearly between the two brain hemispheres. Also he has a bit more of an advantage when fighting maybe. As a lefty myself that's what I'm going with.
Man I love the movies & the series. I didn’t get to watch them till the series came out. Had never heard of it. Fell in love & binged the movies. He’s prolly one of my favorite actors
Maybe he did some sort of equivalent to Fry in Futurama getting that gene making him immune to the brains by becoming his own grandfather
Ooooooorrrrrrr... as is a known fact confirmed by Bruce himself, the intro to the second movie is just an unfortunate reshoot that doesn't line up due to basically being a cliff notes version of the first film's events. They wanted to use the original film's actual footage for the intro, but only had the rights to the story and characters, not the movie itself. They instead decided to reshoot the whole recap sequence, including Sam Raimi having a cameo as Scotty, but for one reason or another, pretty much all of that got scrapped in favor of what we saw. Hence why the ending of the first film lines up with everything in the second perfectly, provided you skip the intro. Same for this one if you skip the last couple minutes and then watch Army of Darkness. Still a cool idea though.
Hell AOD perfectly lines up if you just pick it up at the exact point where Ash gets sucked into the portal
Congratulations on the 100k subs!
Yeah they couldn't reference the 3rd film explicitly (so they just hint) in the TV series either due to rights issues.
That entire series is just an ownership mess. Does one person/company even own more than one part of it?
Ash doesn't know if there is a loop himself as he's not self aware of any such loop so how would he get better at fighting the evil if every loop starts the same in groundhog day bill Murrays character is aware of reliving the same day is Ash aware he living the same day
His theory suggests deja vu amnesia . The loop isn't like the ground hog day. That would give ash the upper Hand, which would make the evil dump. You know cause they were the ones with the time bending abilities.
It's all subconscious, deep down he remembers everything that happened but he doesn't actually know. It's literally just his instincts kicking in
grooovy!!! lets get part 2 baby
Ive waited an eternity for this
This was fantastic video you should do more theory videos like this :)
From the demons side of things, whenever it wakes up, it runs into Ash.
So in the first movie it allready knows him because they fought in the third movie, meaning Ash is the demons archenemy from the start
I used to own the same yellow 4 door Olsldsmobile as the one from the movie.
I think part of it is his memory of recapping everything over and over and by the time he reaches the middle ages, it's shortened because he's recapping the story to his Coworker, Ted Raimi, at the S-Mart at the end of AoD
This was a really cool concept and I feel adopting it as a general plot theory could help a lot of people watching Evil Dead etcetera for the first time.
Not gonna lie, I love this theory! It really does mash all this stuff together and makes sense! Please tell me you’ll make more theory’s on Evil Dead!
I don't understand how yall find the timeline confusing. It literally couldn't be more streamlined. its all 1 film seperated into parts. and regardless of whether they had the rights to army of darkness, its still canon in ash vs evil dead.
Well let's see. Evil Dead 2's opening is litteraly Evil Dead 1 again but without most of the characters, and Ash is more confident, and then Evil Dead 2 ends with Ash being hailed as a hero while Army Of Darkness shows him being taken prisoner at the start. This now creates a huge mess, one timeline where Evil Dead 1 happens and then the main events of Evil Dead 2, one where Evil Dead 1 doesn't happen and it's all just Evil Dead 2, and then both of those timelines split off, either leading to Army Of Darkness or leading to Evil Dead 2's ending. Then Army Of Darkness splits off, either to it's theatrical ending and then the TV series, or the OG ending where Ash goes too far into the future.
Right up my alley!! Immediately liked
oh I love anything Evil Dead related. If you haven't already you should absolutely make sure you watch the Primitive Screwhead Edition which has every scene put back in to Army of Darkness and there is a similar cut of Evil Dead 2 that has more content. they are the definitive versions of these movies and may help add more to your theory
Bit of an aside here but part of me REALLY wishes Sam had been allowed to keep the original ending to Army of Darkness. I really like the idea of the Evil Dead franchise moving into a post apocalyptic direction and it complements the ending of Evil Dead 2 in a funny way. Poor Ash slung from the distant past to the distant future is in keeping with the Evil Dead franchises' love of continuously punishing that character.
Intriguing!
And makes perfect sense in the continuity-loose world of Evil Dead
Dude this is such an amazing theory!! I’m so keeeen for part 2! Much respect brother
This is a pretty good analogy because I had the same idea of myself and that's why they had different people in each cut because it was a time paradox
you earned that sub with this video alone.. loved the evil dead franchise growing up
Much of what you’re talking about is trying to tie some continuity between films that couldn’t have it because of constant rights issues - but it’s still fun and one of the better fan theories I’ve heard because the time line is malleable with the portal in ED 2. You did a better job of putting these events together than the show did! Bravo!
this is very similier to the movie triangle
The FANTASTIC PS2 game, Evil Dead: Regeneration (which I highly recommend) pretty much ties into this theory / supports it. It’s filled with time-hopping and Ted Raimi’s quips break the fourth wall in a way that tends to lend credence to this theory that Ash doesn’t remember all of his previous adventures.
Now, the reason for this is _probably_ because THQ made a previous game, Evil Dead Fistful of Boomstick which is unconnected to Regeneration. The quips are probably meant to lampshade the fact that players would wonder why the previous game wasn’t sequentially connected to Regeneration.
This is brilliant!
Maybe he is the reincarnation of the demon lord who created the book, and the demons are trying to change him back.
Brilliant theory that I’m gonna consider it true in my mind!
Really diggin' the stuff you do on this channel, right up my alley. Keep it up!
The video should end with a link to Part 2, but it really just starts this video over again. #Ouroboros
holy crap; i just realized how close you are till 100,000 subs. i know the algorithm is questionable at best. but, you got this, hopefully, real soon. i almost forgot. another, great vid as usual.
