Ash vs. Evil Dead | comment |
Ash vs. Evil Dead is an American horror comedy series created by Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell for the Starz network. It is set in the Evil Dead franchise and serves as a sequel to The Evil Dead (1981), Evil Dead 2 and (starting with Season 2) Army of Darkness. note Rights issues at the time the series started prohibited them from referencing that film, but they were able to be resolved before Season 2 began filming.The series stars Campbell reprising his role as Ash Williams, the aging lothario and chainsaw-handed monster hunter who has spent the last 30 years following the films avoiding responsibility, maturity and the terrors of the Evil Dead. When a Deadite plague threatens to destroy all of mankind, Ash is finally forced to face his demons — both personal and literal.The cast includes Ray Santiago as Pablo Bolivar, Dana DeLorenzo as Kelly Maxwell, Jill Marie Jones as Amanda Fisher, Michelle Hurd as Linda B. Emery, Ted Raimi as Chet Kaminski, Pepi Sonuga as Lacey Emery, Lee Majors as Brock Williams, Joel Tobeck as Baal, Arielle Carver-O'Neill as Brandy Barr, and Lucy Lawless as Ruby.The show premiered on October 30, 2015 and ran for three seasons, ending on April 28, 2018. According to Campbell, this will be the last time he appears onscreen as Ash, though he has continued voicing him in games such as Dead by Daylight and Evil Dead: The Game and has stated in 2023 he'd come back to portray the character if Raimi would direct a new Evil Dead movie and reprised the role for a Voice-Only Cameo in Evil Dead Rise the same year. Campbell also said he is open to voicing the Ash character in an animated series, and in July of 2022, said a series was currently in development, but no other details have been confirmed. | |

Anyone Can Die | |
Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_1237828f | comment |
Anyone Can Die: Subverted. Numerous side characters die every episode, but the regulars always make it out in one piece. Double subverted in "Ashes to Ashes" when Amanda is killed. Happens again in Season 2. In "Last Call" Ash's and Cheryl's dad, Brock, is killed off. In "Trapped Inside" Chet is killed by Deadite!Cheryl, who herself is again killed by Ash and in "Ashy Slashy" Pablo, Lacey and Thomas are all killed. Thomas by Baal, Lacey (who has become a deadite) by Kelly and Pablo by accident (during the ceremony to defeat Baal, Baal slices him in half with his claw while thrashing around. He gets better, though.) In Season 3 every main character is killed by the Kandarian dagger at some point. Since this sends them to the Deadlands instead of outright killing them, they all manage to come Back from the Dead. | |

Where It All Began: "Ashes To Ashes" has Ash returning to the cabin from the first two films. The remainder of the first season takes place there. Season 2 takes it even further, as the last two episodes feature Ash, Kelly, and Ruby traveling back in time to the days just before Ash first found the Necronomicon, to try and stop his younger self from reading from it. | |

Make Sure He's Dead | |
Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_16dd0b72 | comment |
Make Sure He's Dead: On multiple occasions, Ash and his group chop up the bodies of Deadites to ensure they won't rise again. After pinning deadite Lance to a tree in "Fire down Below," Pablo punches Lance's face several times before trying to remove his mask to make sure he's dead. Everything seems fine, then Lance suddenly revives, and attacks Pablo before Kelly finally blows him away. The shell-shocked Pablo then humorously gets into a virtual beatdown with Lance's corpse before Kelly snaps him out of it. | |

Dressing as the Enemy: In "Episode 7" Pablo dresses up as one of the nutjob militants, taking the gas mask off one who turned into a Deadite. This doesn't last for long since Kelly makes an entrance with a machine gun immediately after he drives into their camp, so it was probably all for nothing. | |

Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_1f137e42 | comment |
Artificial Limbs: For rights reasons, nothing specific to Army of Darkness is specifically mentioned in Season 1; therefore, Ash has traded in the fully functional mechanical hand for a much more mundane wooden prosthetic. After Ash loses his wooden hand to Amanda in "Books From Beyond", Pablo spends part of the next episode building a mechanical replacement using a Nintendo Power Glove. At the end of the series, Ash wakes up in the future and he's been given a bionic hand that's almost indistinguishable with his natural hand. | |

Byronic Hero | |
Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_1fd2efc9 | comment |
Byronic Hero: Ash's primary motive is to get the book translated and banish the Deadites from this existence again, and thus is reluctant to get himself into any unnecessary complications like saving individual people when the whole world's at stake; while he's not depicted as wrong by any stretch for believing this, he can sometimes come across as callous or self-absorbed when stating his intentions. This is most apparent in season one, episode two, "Bait," when Ash refuses to help Kelly when she fears her father is in danger. He only changes his mind when Pablo convinces him that Kelly took the Necronomicon with her. While he's initially pissed at Pablo's subterfuge, he admits at the end after he saves Kelly from her deadite mother that he's not sorry he came and helped her. | |

When Kelly gets possessed by Eligos, he chews out her teeth and spits them at Ash. After Eligos has been slayed, Ash optimistically points out that they were probably wisdom teeth that were coming out anyways. | |

Perverse Puppet: In "Delusion", Ash receives one of himself (named Ashy Slashy) from Dr. Peacock, a disguised Baal, who tries to convince him that he is indeed crazy, and apparently murders two people on behalf of Ash. Kelly later encounters the puppet while looking for Ash, where it transforms into a Deadite (complete with felt teeth and white button eyes, no less). | |

Dirty Old Man | |
Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_267ce120 | comment |
Dirty Old Man: Just because he's old enough to be a grandfather doesn't mean Ash is closed for business. Quite the opposite, he's more open for business now than he was in all of the prior films. His father, Brock Williams, is arguably even worse, having no qualms whatsoever of getting in on with a teenager (which was really a disguised Deadite, but still...), and having "Brock Williams has wood" as the slogan of his firewood business. He also shamelessly hits on Kelly when he first meets her until she shoots him down. | |

Death of a Child | |
Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_269e82c1 | comment |
Death of a Child: In "The Killer of Killers" when Deadite-Boyle at the diner grabs a kid who was trying to run away and throws him into a ceiling fan that chops him up. In "DUI," the fourth episode of season 2, All but one of Lacey's school friends are killed by the possessed Delta. The final girl is taken over by a deadite and decapitated by Ash when it attacks Brock. In "Ashy Slashy," the eighth episode of season two, Baal betrays Thomas and Linda B. by killing Lacey and turning her into a deadite. Kelly has to put her down. "Family," the first episode of season three Sees Brandy's best friend Rachel turned into a deadite and kiled by Ash. Another kid who is deadite fused with the school's cougar mascot costume is killed by Kelly. "Twist and Shout," the third season's seventh episode has a number of kids at the school dance slaughtered by the Evil Ash in an attempt to frame the good Ash as a psycho killer. Season three episode eight, "Rifting Apart," Has Pablo forced to kill the deadite version of one of the kids from the dance when Ash brings the wrong corpse to the hardware store basement in his attempt to bring back Brandy's spirit from The Rift. | |

Mythology Gag | |
Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Pablo designs a mechanical hand for Ash, something similar to but legally distinct from the iron gauntlet hand that Ash builds in Army of Darkness. In "Ashes To Ashes" we get an Evil Ash, grown from his severed possessed hand. After that Evil Ash gets defeated, Ash prepares to chop the body up while musing that he's getting disturbingly used to dismembering clones of himself. This was a rather daring move, since a murky legal situation made it unclear whether AoD was actually canon. In "The Dark One", Deadite Amanda gives the classic "I'll swallow your soul" line. In "Home," Ash calls the patrons of the Elk Lounge Bar "Inbred, degenerate screwheads." In "Delusion", the hallucinatory Kelly asks if Deadites can be hurt by sunlight. Ash says no, but then remembers "that one time" when sunlight did seem to drive off the evil force, referencing the second movie. In "Home Again", Ash can't remember if he found the Necronomicon lying out in the open on a desk or in the cabin's cellar with Scotty, referencing one of several changes between the original movie's plot and its retread in the prologue of Evil Dead 2. Also in "Home Again," Ash has to face off once again with Henrietta Knowby (once again played by Ted Raimi). In "The Mettle of Man," after killing Kandar the Destroyer, Ash wakes up in a Mad Max style post-apocalyptic future. This is obviously inspired by the originally scripted ending to Army of Darkness, which would have had Ash take a potion to get back to the 20th century by sleeping but overshoot the mark and wake up in the future. | |

Sink or Swim Fatherhood: In season 3, Ash is visited by Candy Barr, one of his old flames, who tells him that they conceived a daughter years ago who's a teenager by now, Brandy. Her mother dies not much later at the hands of the Deadites, leaving Ash to suddenly figure out how to be a father. He tries to be a "cool dad" to Brandy, but considering he frequently has to fight the forces of evil and hacking up monsters with a chainsaw, the results... are sub-optimal. | |

Lampshade Hanging: In the Season 2 episode "Delusion", as Ash is trapped in an illusion created by Baal, he points to various continuity errors in the Evil Dead Trilogy to try and convince Ash he is not El Jefe. At the end of Season 2, the characters travel to the past to get rid of the Necronomicon before Ash ever has the chance to find it in the first place. They succeed, but when they return to the present, the world is exactly the same as they left it. In the Season 3 premiere, Pablo points out that it doesn't really make much sense. | |

Borrowed Catchphrase: In the second episode of season one, when Kelly reveals her mother is still alive, Ash tells her if something is too good to be true, it probably is. Later, after her mother has revealed she's a deadite and has killed her father before Ash killed her, Kelly takes Ash's words to heart, and repeats them almost verbatim on multiple occasions, usually when a deal is being offered to them. Upon seeing Kelly for the first time, Ash declares her "Filthy, AND fine." The phrase is spoken by multiple other characters throughout the series run, Including Brock Williams and the Ashy Slashy puppet. Kelly even lampshades it during the confrontation with Ashy Slashy. | |

Brandy also falls into this for a little more than half season three, though it's in part because Past Ruby has been posing for two years as a guidance counselor and become Brandy's most trusted friend, and takes advantage of Ash's Hero with Bad Publicity past to fool Brandy, going so far as to raise Brock from the dead and force Ash to kill him in front of her (Brandy doesn't know he's reanimated,) and later, birthing an evil Ash which she sends off to slaughter the kids at the dance. | |

After shooting the evil version, Kelly tells him that she knew then he was the real Ash becuase the only person Ash would lay his life down for is himself.

Rule of Cool: Ash's chainsaw cuts through clothes, skin, and human bone like a knife through butter, just cause it looks cooler that way. Though the series sometimes subverts this. In one case, Ash gets the chainsaw stuck in a wall. Later, when fighting Henrietta, he stabs her in the gut and she gushes out so much pus and fluid it chokes the chainsaw and kills it. Pablo built a fully functional prosthetic hand out of a Power Glove. At least now Ash's artificial hand uses modern technology. Just go with it. | |

Both Ash Williams and Steve Austin have their right arms replaced with a "bionic" one.

Bad Boss: Mr. Roper, manager of the Value Stop, fluctuates between this and a beleaguered Mean Boss depending on whether or not he's dealing with Ash; on the one hand, he's generally dickish, ignorant, and seems to enjoy power-tripping his junior employees like Pablo and Kelly, but Ash is such a terrible, lazy worker (he's taken multiple phony sick days on the pretense of caring for "his dear friend, Eli", his bearded dragon) that the guy doesn't have much recourse besides getting tough, and since Ash has seniority, Roper can't just fire him. Transitions completely into "bad" territory when he turns into a Deadite in "Bait", as he retains enough of his old self to gleefully admit he's always hated Ash and thinks he's a "sad old failure" as he attempts to murder him. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: After Kaya is evicted from Kelly's body, she spends a good deal of time during the episode as a corpse before Pablo can rescue her spirit from the Rift. When she returns to her body, due to the fact her heart hasn't been beating and her blood has settled, she looks sheet white and corpse-like until she's moved around and they get upstairs to the street and her blood has realistically had time to circulate through her body again. Kelly lampshades her appearance herself when she first revives, saying she looks like Keith Richards, while Brandy compares her to Iggy Pop. Through the midway point of season two, The townspeople of Elk Grove and Ash's father Brock realistically assume Ash just went nuts and murdered Shelley, Linda, Scott, and Cheryl, as "deadite possession" is a bit hard for the townspeople to swallow. Apparently there wasn't enough evidence left from the original deaths to convict Ash, however. | |

Summoning Ritual | |
Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_446adf5f | comment |
Summoning Ritual: The Necronomicon is chock-full of instructions on how to summon a myriad evil entities from The Underworld in which they reside, this being the reason it was created in the first place. The series is set in motion when Ash reads one of the incantations while intoxicated to impress a girl, summoning the Deadites once more. In the episode "Books From Beyond" Ash has Lionel summon the demon Eligos to find out how to reverse the previous summoning. This ritual is far more elaborate and involves drawn circles and lines that must not be broken. This turns out to be a bad idea. | |

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: Ash probably should have known better than to read from the Necronomicon to try to impress a girl after all these years. It also would have helped if his father had just told the Knight of Sumeria trying to warn Ash of the coming dangers before the events of the series where his son had moved, instead of attacking him and accidentally murdering him. | |

Never Accepted in His Hometown: As revealed in Season 2, Ash is shunned by virtually everyone in his hometown of Elk Grove, including his own father, due to the events of the first two movies; no one believed Ash's story about the Deadites and the Necronomicon, thinking he just went crazy and slaughtered his friends and sister. Ultimately averted by the end of Season 2, where he's managed to convince the town of the truth and is now a hero. | |

Not What It Looks Like: Ash's father comes back as a Deadite, resulting in a rather messy fight that leaves Ash standing over a hacked-up corpse drenched in blood. When his daughter Brandy walks in, suffice to say, this doesn't look very good. When Ash, being attacked by the Eliogos-possessed Kelly during his spirit walk defends himself under the influence by throttling Kelly, Pablo, not realizing, knocks Ash out to close out the episode, and he's tied up in the next episode while the Brujo tries to exorcise him. Thankfully, they realize it's Kelly who's posssesed before she can kill Pablo. Also, season two, episode three. Ash saves Brock from being killed by a deadite, and one of the kids invited to the party walks into the bathroom and sees the aftermath, then runs out screaming that Ashy Slashy is going to kill them all. Ash being Ash, he runs out to defend his actions while carrying the decapitated head of the deadite in question, realizes, and throws it behind the bar as the kids panic even further. Brock defends him, at least. | |

The only difference is the series ends with Ash fully embracing himself as a hero, rather just having a night out getting drunk and high. The Teaser of the first episode and the Cliffhanger of the penultimate episode are an Oh, Crap! moment where Ash lets out an elongated "Fuuuuuuuck!" The final word spoken in both the first and last episode is, of course, "Groovy". | |

When Kelly stuffs the face to shut it up, she sees that the real Pablo starts choking. She realizes that possessed Pablo and the face on her leg are linked. So she forcefeeds gasoline into the face and lights it. This causes the real Pablo to cough up fire and gives Brandy time to stab him with the Kandarian dagger. | |

Police Are Useless: As revealed in "Books From Beyond," Ash is a firm believer in this. Since Amanda's Inspector Javert tendencies led to Eligos escaping and nearly killing everyone, it's not an unjustified belief. The Knights of Sumeria count as well. For being the ancient protectors of the Chosen One and fighters against evil, they are downright horrible at their jobs. They've clearly failed to protect Ash in any way at any point during the movies and first two seasons, and every time they show up they're gruesomely killed off roughly five minutes later. | |

Creator Thumbprint | |

Creator Thumbprint: Ash's yellow, 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88, which was Ash's car in the Evil Dead film franchise and became Sam Raimi's creator thumbprint throughout his career, appearing in all of his films. Raimi calls the car "the Classic," and Ash refers to it with this name as well. "Shemp's" brand beer is a reference to "Fake Shemp," a term Sam Raimi coined in the credits of Evil Dead for actors who stood in for other actors who dropped out in the midst of filming. Raimi later expanded the meaning to credit a variety of bit players in his works. The term is itself a reference to actors who stood in for the ailing Shemp Howard of The Three Stooges. | |

Bloody Hilarious: In typical over-the-top Raimi fashion, the show has swimming pools' worth of fake blood. When Ash repeatedly stabs a Deadite in the neck with a broken bottle in "Bait", he has the misfortune to be under them at the time, getting showered in torrents of gore. Later, Suzy Maxwell is cut almost in half by Ash, spattering blood on Kelly and Pablo huddling on the other side of the room. When Pablo is grabbed by a Deadite wearing combat armor and a helmet in "Fire in the Hole", Kelly is forced to pump dozens of rounds into its body, turning the creature into hamburger. Even after it's dead, an absolutely drenched Pablo is still punching its open neck wound while screaming in terror. | |

They remain in the past for the remainder of the following episode, "Second Coming". | |

Badass Normal: Ash was already one of these when he started fighting Deadites while still a nebbish college student. That fact that he picks it back up with (somewhat) relative ease in his 50s just further cements this. Pablo and Kelly as well. Especially Kelly. Although Pablo gains supernatural powers as of Season 2. | |

Heroic Sacrifice | |
Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: In season 3, while the main characters are trapped in the netherworld and hunted by a Living Shadow that eats the souls of everyone who winds up there, Dalton sacrifices himself for the sake of a distraction to give Ash and his friends a chance to escape back to the world of the living. Also, Ash, in the series finale, seemingly is doing this when he faces off with Kandar, especially because he's given up the magnifying glass necklace gift for Linda that he always carried around for his own protection to Brandy. Ends up averted when the seriously wounded Ash is placed in medical stasis by the remaining members of the Knights of Sumeria for an unknown amount of time, and wakes up in the dystopian future primed and ready to keep up the deadite fight. Present Ruby sacrifices herself in 2X9 to distract her past version that didn't have her Heel–Face Turn in season two. Ends up an All for Nothing until past the halfway point of season three, as Past Ruby found a way to come to the present day and made Ash's life a living Hell for quite awhile before her true intentions were laid bare for all to see. | |

Grievous Bottley Harm: Parodied and discussed. When Pablo and Ash use a broken beer bottle in "Bait" to try and kill a Deadite, it's barely effective against a supernatural creature unfazed by blood loss (at most, it just gets stains all over the Oldsmobile), and Pablo hesitates after Ash gives it to him in preparation for another fight. | |

Militaries Are Useless: When the Deadites begin to appear worldwide, various military forces are called in to battle them. However, they're forced to withdraw due to casualties sustained by infected soldiers killing their own and none of their weapons can put a scratch on Kandar. The American military opts to nuke it before Ash tries to stop the officer leading the national guard from doing so. When the officer makes it clear they're going to do it anyway, Ash finally decides to face Kandar by himself with the Kandarian dagger. He wins. | |

Knight of Cerebus: While Deadites are terrifying, fights with them can often be played for Black Comedy. Eligos, Baal, Evil Ruby, and Evil Ash, on the other hand, are dead serious opponents, and their presence always results in people's deaths. Ruby reveals herself as a Dark One in the episode of the same name, which quickly becomes the darkest in the series so far. While first season Ruby is fairly evil, she doesn't hold a candle to the havok wreaked by Past Ruby in season three when she comes to modern times to make Ash's life Hell and try to usurp him as the Chosen One with an evil doppleganger. | |

Villain Has a Point: While it isn't exactly fair to place the blame on him, Ruby does make a valid argument that no matter how good Ash's intentions may be, he has a tendency to leave a trail of horribly mauled innocents in his attempts to stop the evil. The scene at the Western Moose diner is a good example, where six people met a gruesome end simply because it occurred to Ash to stop there to eat. | |

In-Series Nickname: Pablo refers to Ash as "El Jefe" more than he calls Ash by his actual name. In season two, Kelly refers to Pablo as a "Powerful Vagina," in part due to his birthing demon spawn at the end of season one. It's truly a term of endearment from Kelly. Kelly is referred to as "Filthy, AND fine," by more than one character in the series, first by Ash himself. In the final episode After Kelly is raised from the dead, and temporarily looks like Keith Richards, Ash says at that moment she's filthy and NOT fine. The trio refer to themselves as the "Ghost Beaters," throughout the entire series run, coined by Pablo. | |

Functional Addict: Ash is revealed to smoke weed and frequent bars, but is still able to hold down a job. However, part of the reason he isn't fired for his incompetence and general laziness is because he has seniority over the manager, Roper. Pablo even lampshades when he tries to convince Ash not to go on the run by saying now that Kelly's hired, he has a second person that can cover for him when he sleeps on the job or comes in late for work or doesn't come in at all. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Ash unleashes another Deadite plague that threatens to destroy humanity after getting high with a girl one night and trying to pass off passages of the Necronomicon Ex Mortis as poetry to impress her. "Books From Beyond" has a two-fold example. First, Kelly is duped by Amanda into uncuffing her, with Amanda stupidly trying to arrest Ash and causing Eligos to escape his binding circle, kill Lionel, and nearly killing Ash. In season 2, both Ash and Pablo do it when they decide to listen to the Necronomicon and end up unleashing Baal. Also in season two, episode two, Ash collects the Necronomicon but leaves it in the Delta, ostensibly because he knows deadite Lillian Pendergrast is in the house. However, A pair of kids he insulted earlier in the episode steal the car while he's talking with Ruby. In the next episode, one of the thieves' girlfriends finds the book and reads from it, leading to the Delta becoming possessed, and almost every kid but Lacey being killed by it, and Ash's father Brock being killed by it when it runs him down while Brock is standing unaware in the street. Ash later has to kill the girl that read from it when she becomes deadite possessed and attacks Brock. Also, Ash is forced to 'kill' the Delta to stop it. It gets repaired later. | |

Humanoid Abomination: Eligos, a blue emaciated humanoid who flickers like a malfunctioning TV. Ruby, who’s a Dark One, but looks completely human except possessing Black Eyes of Evil, Super-Strength, Healing Factor and an immunity to fire. The demon children, who have coal-black skin, have dark pits for eyes and can transform into Living Shadows. Baal, who looks completely human except when you take into account the facts that he can wear the skin of those he kills to disguise himself, comes from the same place as the evil force and other demonic creatures encountered in the series, possesses Super-Strength, and growls monstrously when frustrated or angry, shows that he’s just as inhuman and unnatural as the rest of his colleagues Marcus, the Knight of Sumeria who ends up becoming a grotesque, The Thing-like creature. When the Dark Ones finally appear, they take the form of people wearing hooded robes, which just enough of their faces visible to know that they're not human. They don't even appear to be entirely physical, moving around more like ghosts. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: After getting together with Linda B. at the end of season 2, she disappears without even a passing mention in season three. The Michigan State Police who were tracking Ash's movements from the trailer park killings and beyond, seemingly stop their investigation, despite the fact that Boyle and eventually Amanda are also possessed and end up being killed by Ash before the season ends. Also, Scotty, Cheryl, Linda, Shelley, Annie Knowby, etc. Since Ash goes back in time in the season two finale and destroys the cabin and seemingly the Necronomicon before his younger self arrives to the cabin with Cheryl, Scotty, and the rest, and the incantations are read, technically, all of the characters killed in the first two films SHOULD be alive, as the book was never read from while they were present, and the cabin itself was destroyed and sent to Hell....And due to the wibbly-wobbily, timey-wimey stuff. Instead, Ash makes a wager that he ends up winning with Baal, and only Pablo returns from the dead. In fact, nothing in the present day has changed when Ash returns with Pablo and Kelly. | |

Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil | |
Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_8a817c2a | comment |
Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: Subverted, thankfully, in Kelly's case, twice. In 1X7, "Fire Down Below," one of the survivalists tells Kelly he's going to "make her pregnant later." Kelly is less than enthusiatic. Thankfully, said survivalist gets killed less than a minute later, and is killed again, in part by Kelly, when he returns as a deadited for some Laser-Guided Karma. In 2X10, Past Ruby laments that Ash is leaving Kelly to be defiled and devoured by the demon spawn if he loses the fight with Baal. Kelly argues that the deal was that she was only going to be devoured, and defiled was NOT mentioned. Ruby counters that "It was implied." Thankfully, Ash wins the fight. Invoked in 1X10. Pablo, with the cover of the Neconomicon stuck to his face, is forced to puke/birth the demon spawn. He begs Ruby to be released in his lucid moments in between, and eventually is so traumatized by it he begs Ash to kill him. Also, Baal's M.O. plays with this. He uses his power to mind screw at least one female officer with the Elk Grove PD and then slices and peels off the poor woman's ENTIRE skin to wear and pose as her. | |

Didn't Think This Through | |
Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_8d0785d5 | comment |
Didn't Think This Through: Ash claims that he will rarely ever think of the long-term effects of his decisions such as his Deal with the Devil with Ruby and all the viewers know that he will have to sooner or later return to fix it. A big example comes in the latter episodes of season two. Ash seemingly hallucinates the dead Pablo urging him to go back in time and stop his younger self from reading the book. Ruby and Kelly are less than enthusiastic, but Ash aims the Delta for a wall and says they'll all meet Pablo if Ruby doesn't open a portal,so she does. Later, after Pablo is seemingly ressurected, Baal slits Pablo's skin and reveals to the shocked Ash and Kelly that the attempt to kill him in the prior episode failed, and he was still alive and hiding in Pablo's corpse and HE was the one that convinced Ash to do so, taking advantage of the fact that Ash was shitfaced drunk and high so he'd believe Pablo talking to him was a hallucination. While Ash is able to defeat Baal and save Pablo, his actions result in present day Ruby being killed by her past, still evil, counterpart, and Past Ruby finds a way to save herself and jump to the present day, being one of the major antagonists of season three. In a more minor example, Ash is sent into a morgue to retrieve the Necronomicon, which has been stashed inside a dead body, and realizes after getting to the morgue that he never asked which body the book was hidden in. He guts all the corpses in the entire morgue, only to realize when he gets to the last one that it is plainly obvious the book is inside his torso and he wasted a huge amount of time cutting open the rest. | |

Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_8d23f3a7 | comment |
Timey-Wimey Ball: The time travel events in the second season finale by all rights should have created a Cosmic Retcon that undid the entire franchise, yet when the protagonists return to the present, nothing has changed beyond Pablo being alive again and Ruby once again becoming an antagonist. Pablo lampshades this in the Season 3 premiere, when he admits that this doesn't make much sense. | |

Asshole Victim | |
Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: The paranoid survivalists that Ash and company encounter aren't treated totally unsympathetically even though they try to kill them out of fear that they're government agents. The protagonists manage to clear up the misunderstanding without directly killing any of them. However the pair who get the most brutal and protracted deaths of the group were set up to be the least sympathetic; one threatening to rape Kelly and the other being a former convict who turned the group against heroes when he recognized Amanda. The teenagers who stole Ash's Delta are killed by it. Also qualifies as a Karmic Death. Ash's dad probably qualifies. He's a Dirty Old Man who treats his son terribly (even if the two reconcile right before he dies), and in "Unfinished Business" we learn in a flashback that he remorselessly committed manslaughter a few years before the events of the series. In "Judgment Day," Ruby is killed by the Dark Ones. Considering all the shit she's pulled, like trying to turn Brandy against Ash and killing Professor Knowby, she's unlikely to be missed. Ash certainly has No Sympathy to spare for her. | |

Demonic Possession | |
Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_906365a2 | comment |
Demonic Possession: Deadites are evil spirits that possess the bodies of the living and the dead. Kelly is possessed by Eligos in "Brujo" and "The Host". He's a lot more subtle about it than the Deadites, though. Also, Kelly spends most of the latter half of season three with her dead body possessed by the spirit of Ruby's associate, Kaya, while Kelly's own spirit is trapped in The Rift. | |

In 1X7, "Fire Down Below," one of the survivalists tells Kelly he's going to "make her pregnant later." Kelly is less than enthusiatic.

Resurrection Sickness: A literal case in "Judgement Day."

In the Season 1 finale, Ash forms a truce with the Big Bad. Almost understandable when it saves his friends - less so when he may have doomed the whole world, and he's laughing with joy on the car ride to Jacksonville. In fairness, Ruby seems to have been trying to hold up her end of the bargain, but the spawn she created became too powerful, she lost her immortality, and had to cry to Ash for help. | |

Foreshadowing: In the pilot, the very first Deadite Amanda meets claims to know who she is, in a cryptically creepy manner.

Also in the pilot, when Amanda and her partner, John Carson, come across the creepy house and are attacked by the deadites, Ruby's red Challenger can be seen in a brief shot when they first arrive, tipping off that there's more to her than meets the eye, on top of being played by Lucy Lawless. | |

Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_9fb2452d | comment |
Evil Is Not a Toy: Lionel learns this the hard way when he summons the demon Eligos without having the banishing incantation ready in case the circle breaks. Ash himself also qualifies, since having Lionel summon Eligos for information was his idea in the first place. In "Home," it's revealed that the demonic children Ruby forced the possessed Pablo to spawn at the end of Season 1 have turned on her and now want the Necronomicon for themselves, forcing her to call Ash in to help clean up her mess. One of Lacey's friends in season two finds the necronomicon on the floor of the Delta after the kids steal it and reads from it, resulting in her being deadite-possessed, as well as the Delta, which runs amok and kills most of her friends, and Ash's dad Brock. The evil is unleashed again in season three when a woman finds the Necronomicon at the remains of the cabin and takes it to an Antiques Roadshow-type program and the appraiser makes the unwise decision to read some of the incantations. | |

Eye Scream: The Deadites are fond of going for the eyes. In the first episode, "El Jefe" deadite Vivian is milimeters way from stabbing her talon-like fingernail in Kelly's eye. Averted, as Ash intervenes. In episode two, "Bait," Kelly's father is killed by deadite Suzy with a fork in the eye. Ruby then messes with the fork to torture the deadite form of Kelly's father for information in the subsequent episode, "Books from Beyond." Ash notably winds up getting his eyes sewn shut during his Vision Quest in "Brujo." Kaya uses her thumbs to gouge out Zoe's eyes in "Judgement Day", and later tries to do the same to Ash. | |

Wouldn't Hurt a Child: Ash, even if that child is a demon. He even gave the demon child a countdown to get out of the way before he shot it, and even after he reached zero still tried to convince it to go away so he wouldn't need to shoot it. It isn't until the demon child attacks him does he decide to kill it. Played with in season one, episode six. [[spoiler: A teen caught in the bathroom at the diner attempts to make a run for it past Amanda's deadite-possessed superior, and said superior tosses the teen into a spinning fan where he's chopped up by the blades. Ash Is forced to kill Brandy's school friend in the first episode of season three when she's possessed by a deadite. Kelly kills a possessed student who merged with the 'Cougie,' the school's mascot. The Evil Ash spawned by Ruby kills multiple kids during a school dance to frame the real Ash as a homicidal murderer. Pablo kills a deadite-possessed student corpse from the high school dance when Ash is in the rift. | |

Canon Discontinuity | |
Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_a32334b4 | comment |
Canon Discontinuity: In season 1, the show was not allowed to directly reference anything from Army of Darkness, which is why Ash works at "Value Stop" rather than "S-Mart" and doesn't have his prosthetic gauntlet hand. The show does work around this prohibition by calling the shotgun 'boomstick' and obliquely referencing Ash's trip to the Middle Ages because it also occurs at the end of Evil Dead 2. However, the audience is clearly expected to assume that some version of the film's events did happen. The series makes it clear that the beginning of Evil Dead 2, which shows Ash only with his girlfriend Linda instead of the whole friend group, is non-canon. It's worth noting that, as said by Bruce Campbell well before the show was announced, this was pretty much always the case since that beginning segment was just a simplified recap of the first movie that was filmed because the film makers were unable to get the rights to the first film at the time due to legal issues. The series however tries to have its cake and eat it too, as all the flashbacks Ash has in regards to Linda's at the cabin and her demise throughout the course of the series feature Denise Bixler's Linda from ED 2 rather than Betsy Baker's take from the first film, even though her appearance itself is made non-canon. The Linda head that Ash argues with in episode eight of season one has an actress (Rebekkah Farrell) who's made up to resemble Bixler as well. | |

Due to the Dead: In "Bait," after killing Kelly's Deadite-possessed parents, Ash takes the time to give them both a proper burial. Unfortunately, he makes them cross-shaped grave markers, and they're Jewish. In "The Host," after Pablo's uncle is killed by Eligos, Ash and the gang make him a funeral pyre. | |

Mini-Me: The felt hand puppet of Ash called "Ashy-Slashy" in season 2 was given to him in the hospital to convince Ash that the demons were all in his head and he actually did go crazy during that night in the cabin during the events from the first film. Of course, that wasn't true, and the puppet was just a tool used by Baal to try and break Ash. Later "Ashy-Slashy" becomes possessed and attacks and tries to kill Kelly right after she compliments how adorable it is. | |

Possessing a Dead Body: Baal secretly possesses Pablo's corpse at the end of "Ashy Slashy", in a Batman Gambit to get himself resurrected when Ash travels back in time to resurrect Pablo. In season 3, Kelly is killed in a fight by Ruby, who then repurposes her deceased body to channel the spirit of one of her allies from the evil dimension she hails from. Ash later tries to rescue her from the netherworld, but she can't pass the dimension threshold because her body is still being occupied by someone else. | |

Love Triangle | |
Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_b7e0c5ff | comment |
Love Triangle: While not an overly romantic series, most of the characters seem to have at best an adolescent's control over their hormones, so a couple are inevitable: Ash and Ruby both develop an interest in Amanda over the course of Season 1. Amanda eventually seems to return Ash's feelings, though she shows an interest in Ruby after becoming a Deadite. Even though Kelly only wants to be Like Brother and Sister with Pablo, she shows a surprising amount of resentment when he stops pining over her and transfers his romantic attention to the more receptive Heather. Though Heather's gruesome death in the Season 1 finale sort of derails that relationship. In season three, we get Kelly, Pablo, and Dalton. | |

Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_ba5bd7 | comment |
Ignored Expert: In "Bait," Kelly's mother has come Back from the Dead and is apparently normal. Ash is instantly suspicious that she's a Deadite, but both Pablo and Kelly blow him off; needless to say, Ash is soon proven right. Amanda also follows this trope until she sees him slay a diner of deadites in the first season's sixth episode. The survivalist group in "Fire Down Below" falls into this as well when Ash shows up. In season two, Sheriff Tom Emery follows the trope, in part because of Ash's prior history with his wife, Linda B. Subverted in the fourth episode, when Tom actually witnesses Ash kill a deadite to save Linda, but agrees to a deal with Baal to keep his affair with a prostitute a secret, and because, let's face it, he still hates Ash. Brandy also falls into this for a little more than half season three, though it's in part because Past Ruby has been posing for two years as a guidance counselor and become Brandy's most trusted friend, and takes advantage of Ash's Hero with Bad Publicity past to fool Brandy, going so far as to raise Brock from the dead and force Ash to kill him in front of her (Brandy doesn't know he's reanimated,) and later, birthing an evil Ash which she sends off to slaughter the kids at the dance. | |

Danger Takes A Back Seat: Deadite-Roper hides in the Delta's back seat in order to ambush Ash while he's driving. When Professor Knowby tries to escape the cabin in 1982 with the Necronomicon, he's killed by that time period's Ruby who hid in the back seat of his car. | |

Mirror Match | |
Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_bbca7a41 | comment |
Mirror Match: Ash vs. Evil Ash in "Ashes to Ashes" plays this beautifully, with each of them using their knowledge of Ash's weaknesses to inflict maximum damage on each other. "Home" plays it even straighter when Kelly is confronted by a (possibly hallucinated) demonic version of herself. They literally hit each other with matching moves. Ash vs. another Evil Ash in "Twist and Shout", although it's wrapped up rather quickly with a Boom, Headshot! | |

Desecrating the Dead | |
Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_bd39588d | comment |
Desecrating the Dead: Happens more than once, thought it's usually to prevent the dead body from coming back to an active threat because if it's evil or deadite status. Amanda, who Ash intends to dismember but she gets revived as a deadite before he's able to. Deadite Amanda turns into The Dragon for Ruby for the last two episodes of season one. Ash Chops up his evil twin towards the end of season one to prevent it from doing what Amanda does. The possessed Delta 88 ends up doing this to poor Brock in "DUI" in season two. After running Brock over at the end of the third episode, the fourth episode opens up with the distraught Ash attempting to put the remnants of Brock's brain back in his shattered skull and find Brock's missing eye. The Delta returns to try and run Ash over. It misses Ash, but it gorily runs over Brock AGAIN, and the resulting blood splatter of the tire running over Brock's destroyed skull turns into the animated graphic that sprays the screen before the opening title. In the ninth episode of season two, Past Ruby throws the decapitated head of present Ruby at him towards the end of the episode. Subverted in the third episode of season three. Ash goes to pay his respects to Candy Barr, and she turns deadite and pulls him into the casket and he ends up having to fight her. At least, the AUDIENCE knows that. Everyone who was attending the funeral thinks this is what Ash was doing when he pops out of the casket when the fight is over, leading him to sheepishly cover for himself by saying people express grief in different ways. Brandy is less than amused. | |

Anti-Hero: Thirty years of survivor's guilt has pushed Ash into becoming a lazy, womanizing loser who lives in a trailer and spends most of his nights lying about himself to pick up floozies in bars. He's still great at fighting Deadites, though. Somewhat subverted in season two, when we learn that part of the reason he is the way he is is because everyone in the town thought he simply murdered everyone, and call him Ashy Slashy. They even made up a creepy song about him that the young kids sing. | |

Also, she refuses to believe Ash when he says there's an evil version of him until they both show up at the dance in the gym and have a brief battle. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: After the whole mess with Eligos in "Books From Beyond," Ash chews out Kelly for uncuffing Amanda, since it was due to Amanda's interference that Eligos was able to break free and kill Lionel. Ash himself is on the receiving end of this from Pablo and Kelly in that same episode, since it was his bright idea to summon Eligos for information to begin with. In the Season 1 finale, Ash forms a truce with the Big Bad. Almost understandable when it saves his friends - less so when he may have doomed the whole world, and he's laughing with joy on the car ride to Jacksonville. In fairness, Ruby seems to have been trying to hold up her end of the bargain, but the spawn she created became too powerful, she lost her immortality, and had to cry to Ash for help. Ash makes a deal with Baal for a one-on-one fistfight. If he wins, Baal, Ruby, and the demon spawn go to Hell. If he loses, Ruby basically begins the apocalypse while Kelly is devoured, and worse, by the demon spawn. Lampshaded by Kelly herself. Good thing Ash manages to win. | |

He'll see orderlies and patients around him as people he knows (such as Kelly as a female patient, Pablo as an orderly, and Ruby as a nurse) before they change back for brief flashes. It's really all an illusion created by the demon Baal to break Ash's mind. | |

Writing Around Trademarks: The show will occasionally make veiled references to Army of Darkness in spite of being prohibited from directly referencing it due to copyright restrictions. In episode 9, Ash says "Chopping up my evil clone. Maybe someday that'll feel weird." This is an indirect callback to him doing so in Army of Darkness, though officially it could be explained as Ash simply finding nothing weird anymore. In "Home Again," Ash also mentions getting sent back to the Middle Ages, but does not elaborate. The show gets away with this because it also happens at the end of Evil Dead 2. | |

Fake Shemp | |
Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_d51263b9 | comment |
"Shemp's" brand beer is a reference to "Fake Shemp," a term Sam Raimi coined in the credits of Evil Dead for actors who stood in for other actors who dropped out in the midst of filming. Raimi later expanded the meaning to credit a variety of bit players in his works. The term is itself a reference to actors who stood in for the ailing Shemp Howard of The Three Stooges. | |

Drugs Are Bad: Zig-zagged. Ash unleashes the Deadites after getting high on pot. Eligos, in Kelly's body, tries to get Pablo to let his guard down via a mixture of weed and flirtation, planning to murder him with a makeshift shotgun bong. Ash has a spirit journey on ayahuasca where he gains some knowledge, though he's almost murdered by a demon-possessed person while hallucinating. In the final episode, Ash takes a bong hit and then refuses to give his daughter one, saying that drugs are bad and he doesn't want her to make his mistakes. Following the "Pink Fuck" episode credits, "Ash" warns the viewing audience to not ever drink any Pink Fuck themselves, referencing how bad it is. | |

One-Steve Limit: Subverted. We see Ash's girlfriend Linda from the films in flashbacks and in the form of her talking, severed head in seasons one and two, while meeting the new character Linda B at the beginning of season two, who serves as Ash's love interest. Lampshaded by Ash in the fourth episode, when he's rehearsing a speach he plans to tell her and says he always knew she was one of the Linda for him, seemingly making it clear that Ash likes dating women named Linda. Season one features Ash's love interest Amanda Fisher, who dies as a human in episode eight, and is killed as a deadite in the final episode of season one. In Season two episode six, while being mindcrewed by Baal in the asylum, Ash meets Kelly in the form of one of the patients, yet she tells him more than once that she's "Not Kelly, she's Amanda." It's never made clear if the name is intended to invoke memories of Fisher. | |

In "Delusion", the hallucinatory Kelly asks if Deadites can be hurt by sunlight. Ash says no, but then remembers "that one time" when sunlight did seem to drive off the evil force, referencing the second movie. | |

Good Adultery, Bad Adultery | |
Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_faf4a043 | comment |
Good Adultery, Bad Adultery: Linda B. reciprocating Ash's playful flirtations? Good adultery. Her husband Thomas having a fling with a prostitute a few years back? Clearly bad adultery that gives Baal a chance to blackmail him (and serves to make sure that Ash's Lovable Sex Maniac attributes are still morally right). | |

I Call It "Vera": Ash apparently calls his boomstick and chainsaw "Moe and Larry". | |

Comically Missing the Point | |
Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_fbd285b7 | comment |
Comically Missing the Point: Ash attempts to seduce a waitress so he won't have to pay his check at a diner. When the waitress warns Ash that her husband is the restaurant's imposing cook as a way of telling him to get lost, Ash mistakenly assumes she's warning him so he'll know to be secretive about their affair. | |

Accidental Murder | |
Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_fd497706 | comment |
Accidental Murder: A member of the Knights of Sumeria once visited Brock Williams to tell him that his son Ash is The Chosen One. Brock didn't buy a word of it, then accidentally shoved the guy down a flight of stairs, apparently killing him. He just boards up the basement door and forgets about it. When Ash opens up the door years later to investigate, it turns out that the fall didn't actually kill the guy, since he still had enough time to draw a set of spells on the wall, being able to sustain himself on cans of Spam that Brock had been stockpiling. | |

Will They or Won't They? | |
Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_fdc1e848 | comment |
Will They or Won't They?: Pablo and Kelly. Pablo overtly has the hots for Kelly, but Kelly seems to see Pablo as a friend. In two episodes of season three, one when Pablo is possessed by a deadite and recovers, and the series finale, when Pablo brings Kelly's spirit back from The Rift, the two of them kiss. However, the series ends before we see where it went. | |

Brick Joke | |
Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: In the second season, Ash is accosted in the first episode by a homeless man in Elk Grove who claims Ash ruined his life. When they go back in time to the 1980s towards the end of the season, the homeless man is revealed to have been a yuppie in a three-piece suit who witnesses their arrival. Ash gives the man a bottle of liquor, despite the man's protests that his family has a history of alcoholism, and tells him to drink it to forget what he's seen. He's last seen chugging the bottle, revealing he wasn't lying when he told Ash he ruined his life. | |

Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_ff17ccf1 | comment |
Innocently Insensitive: In "Last Call", Pablo attempts to compliment Kelly on how comfortable she is with her own life by commenting on how she doesn't need a job or family or home, but this just makes Kelly realize how little she has in the world. Ash sometimes invokes this when trying to comfort people after the death of a deadite-possessed loved one. | |

Ash vs. Evil Dead / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: The last leg of the first season takes us back to the cabin. It's a new set with mostly new props, but the production crew actively combed over old photos and sought out identical items in order to recreate what had been seen in the movies. | |
