{{quote|''"The fact is that you can't hold Ash to the same standard that you hold mere mortals to. He is not only just a complete and total [[badass]]; [[Trope Codifier|He is the standard by which all future badasses will be measured.]] So if he wants to [[Rule of Cool|jump onto a department store trampoline and]] [[Improbable Aiming Skills|fire fifteen perfectly-aimed shotgun shells]] [[Bottomless Magazines|in rapid succession]] [[Death From Above|while soaring twenty feet in the air,]] [[Crazy Awesome|he can do it.]] You and I can't; but you and I are also not Ash. And while it may seem [[Beyond the Impossible|impossible]] for him to do the things that he does and kick as much ass as he is famous for doing, I assure you that it isn't. Why, you ask? Simple.

In 1979, a bunch of kids got together in a cabin in Tennessee and made a film with a standard [[B-Movie]] plot; this film was '''''The Evil Dead'''''. The film, which was directed by [[Sam Raimi]] (of ''[[Spider-Man (film)|Spider-Man]]'' fame), and starred [[Bruce Campbell]] (who is most associated with this series), managed to make enough money to warrant two sequels and get into the public consciousness. The result of the two sequels was a strange blend where [[Narm Charm]] meets [[Rule of Cool]].
