Well, like I said I agree that there was an odd feeling to that last scene and you were just waiting for it to all be another trick. I guess I was responding more to the "what feels like Evil Dead" stuff coming from that article/interview. Because while this wasn't the greatest episode of Evil Dead ever I thought it was perfectly good, if a little awkward with the landing. Which seemed to be your take too.

The thing that bothered me the most was how against the Bruce into the butt scene Rob was. That was the highlight of both seasons for fucks sake. gently caress that guy.

STAC Goat posted:It makes no real sense since Ash never finding the book should mean Ash never became what he is, Kelly's parents are alive and well, and Pablo's just some stock boy with a crush on his coworker. And yeah, lady who seems to not much care about her daughter having just died. I thought about that, and I would be very willing to just go with it, except episode 9 very specifically talked about paradoxes and changing time. But then they changed literally nothing about their actual timeline, because Pablo was brought back by Ruby honoring the agreement. The change to the story could have easily just been hand waving time travel bullshit if the show itself hadn't already set up that it wouldn't just hand wave it away.

They did change one thing, which makes it all the more confusing, the cabin got swallowed up.

The cabin is like, the closest thing to a fixed point in Evil Dead Universe. I'd expect the destruction of the cabin to be in the series finale. If it ever happened at all.

Like the cabin isn't coming back... I think if I just had Ruby smirk in that Final scene I would have been more satisfied. I liked the ep, but the last scene just didn't fit.

I felt like the "death" of the cabin was probably supposed to be the big hit of the finale, but it just didn't connect with me. I agree with that fired showrunner guy that going back to the cabin for the second season finale in a row felt redundant and I was kind of just relieved that the third season might not do the same (although it might). Because, yeah, it will come back.

Pinwiz11 posted:Like the cabin isn't coming back... The thing is that the Evil Dead franchise is filled with those "Ash is happy, everything is ok" scenes that then just blow up in his face with a Deadite. The difference here is that instead of blowing it up they went with the Ruby walkthrough. It was a rare incident of restraint from this franchise and it felt odd. edit: Doh, stupid double post.

Since they brought Pablo back through non-time travel means via the deal, they should have just done the whole multiverse thing where basically Ash spared himself in this timeline from the evil, but his timeline is fixed. So, he can't change anything in his future, only the future of another Ash. This also makes narrative sense for him, the only one he can really save is himself. His hand coming back could just be evil being a dick so it could be taken from him again. Ruby, being a demon, could just hop universes back to one where the cabin exists and evil has a foothold. That way, the events in the finale would make as much chronological sense as they possibly could.

I'll be honest. I just am in disbelief that we're discussing "chronological sense" and continuity about Evil Dead. It feels like having a physics discussion after watching a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

I would agree with you if this was any other franchise, the continuity has never really made sense. Sucks the showrunner left, especially if he was the guy who pushed the morgue butt scene, but I have high hopes for the show still. It's not like Tapert totally sucks or anything, he's been there since the beginning. Also, a huge part of the show is just Bruce's campy charisma, so I'm still optimistic.

Yeah sounds like we're both in the same boat. Everything up to the final scene felt perfect in keeping with the general atmosphere of the show and it was quite funny, it just felt a little detached from everything that preceded it in season 2. As mentioned: QwertySanchez posted:*spitting out zombie titty milk* Prison rules, eh? *kicks old lady deadite in the cooter* Bruce Campbell is a national treasure.

I thought 100% for sure Brock was going to finish his sentence with "Ash, you and me, we're the same person!" and then was surprised when they didn't go there. I think the original finale idea could've worked. It's ridiculous but so is the whole show. Although I wouldn't want Baal again.

I normally hate season premieres which completely change the previous season's finale, but I would be 100% happy with Season 3 opening with the end scene playing and then you hear "Ash...ASH...ASH!!!! WAKE UP" and Ash slowly wakes up "...I'm a hero" only to be at his humdrum S-Mart job again. "Get to work or we'll get fired again. Were you having that stupid dream where the town thought you were a hero again? You know no one is going to believe you saved the world. Now go clean the toilet, a homeless dude pooped in the urinal" Kelly yells at him, and as Ash grumbles with the mob bucket the homeless guy who's life he ruined shuffles past "finally...revenge...ahahahahaha"

I thought those last few minutes were meant to be a dream. Not just the ridiculousness of the force ghosts or the sudden cut to the future and the way everyone seems to be just so happy, but also the dialogue.quote:Ash: Wow, it's just that... all of this, it's so perfect. I mean, I never expected any of this. Then there's the way the jaunty music winds down in the credits (which could just be about the book being back) but to me it also suggests that the setting and the band music is fake in some way. So the destruction of the cabin, and even Pablo's resurrection, could be part of whatever fantasy dream world Ash (and Kelly?) are now stuck in. Ruby "honoring" Ash's deal while also cheating him on multiple levels.

I do like them but that first one is hard to watch, it's serious and is made with about 20 bucks. It's probably sacrilege, but I would just watch 2. It even gives you the abridged version at the beginning anyways.

The first movie is still a must watch horror movie though, the shoestring budget is part of its charm. Also you get to see primordial Bruce Campbell "act," and that loving rules. "Why are you torturing me like this??? Why?!"
