Can we finally agree that Evil Dead 2 is a sequel?

[Triadkd]

Oh no I have been "owned" on the internet. I would take a million of mike bays quick cut, and orange tinted films. Over the cheese feast evil dead films. Seriously what do you guys see in these movies? Ash is a geek, he is not funny, and he is not cool. I really want to know why fanboys coast to coast love bruce cambell and the evil dead films. Please someone explain why.

Exactly what it sounds like.

A tree comes to life an rapes a women?

A tree comes to life an rapes a women?

I couldn't have put it in better terms.

 

[Majik1387]

A tree comes to life an rapes a women?

Yes.

 

[Rockbottom]

Excuse me but.. wtf?

 

[Majik1387]

Excuse me but.. wtf?

Watch the movie.

 

[Rockbottom]

Will the tree rape be on youtube?

 

[Flexo]

Will the tree rape be on youtube?

I don't know. There's some nudity, so it may not be allowed.

 

[Majik1387]

Will the tree rape be on youtube?

Search for it and you tell us.

It's a sequel but it's definately one where the majority of the story is simply recycled. Raimi basically ripped himself off.

 

[vegeta21]

It's a sequel....that acts like the first movie never took place.

 

[vegeta21]

I beleive the ED2 is both sequel AND remake, whilst at the same time being neither.



Really though, I don't care what you or Raimi says (unless you can convince me otherwise). ED2 is a remake more than a sequel.

AoD is a pure sequel because-

it carries on where the last one finished
has the same character
had a solid flashback sequence
continues the established plot line

Whislt ED2 is not IMO:

-it has slightly different characters
-rehashes the original plot/circumstances (albiet slightly differently with different scenes

-why the hell would Ash go back to the cabin with a different girl?

I know its not conscise, but anyway please convince me otherwise.

Actually the end of Evil Dead II does NOT coincide with the beginning of AOD. The end of EDII The medieval folks see Ash as a saviour from the sky, however the beginning of AOD they think he is one of King Henry's men and capture him.

Look. Theres a 2 in the title. End of arguement.

It may be a recycled plot, but give a sequel that basically isn't?

 

[Catman]

^ Your avy amuses me.

 

[jaydawg]

Catman, you have no idea how long I've been waiting for some to say that since I changed it this morning.

 

[Catman]

^ I'm glad I made your day.

It´s a sequel, raimi wanted to show the events from the previows film but because of budget issues they could only use some characters and
had some problems, AoD is a sequel too because while the begining is a bit different from ed2 it was because in the end of ed2 raimi needed to show that ash was the chosen one, all of the events of evil dead 1 happened but the beggining and end of evil dead 2 may be retconned.

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

It is a remquel !

 

[Rac]

Wow, what an old thread.

But yeah, it's a sequel. Only the first 7 minutes are "remake".

 

[Original Spawn]

Unfortunately i only found this forum now.

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

And performed a great necro posting

 

[Original Spawn]

ok.

 

[Nivek]

Whats with the guy digging up all the old horror threads?

 

[Original Spawn]

Because some have been forgoten and i´m only marking some points in some of them, it´s actually none of your busyness too.
