Oh yeah, real sneaky of Marvel to hire Sam Raimi to make a movie and somehow wind up with a Sam Raimi movie on their hands. Surely nobody would notice that an actual director with a noticeable style made the movie instead of whatever hive of drones they get to churn out the Spider-man movies.

I mean, I didn't see who the director was before watching the movie. Then I was watching it and I was like hold on, is that the necronomicon? Then a few minutes later there is a hot dog salesman that looks just like an older/pudgier Bruce Cambel/Ash....oh wait...he is older and pudgier...that is him. Then you have undead main character (or possessed undead main character) and spirits that come after you because you broke rules etc, it just kept getting deeper and deep to the point you stopped seeing a marvel movie, and started feeling groovy (give me some sugar baby!!).

Seriously the big bad, SW, was more like the undead female zombie char in Evil dead then anything else, and didn't even really make any sense in a straight up conversion of the character. DS even basically was like "you bitch, you could just help me train this chick and she can send you to a dimension where your kids lost their mom, but she was like, nope, they might get sick, I want her power.

That makes no sense at all, especially since she basically implied she was going to kill her alternative self to take her place lols.

They just took the marvel chars and altered them in a way that made them fit into evil dead 4, and sometimes (like when she was chasing em through the tunners, not flying, stumbling like a zombie etc) it didn't even really fit/make sense.

Actually kinda amazing that it worked at all if you look at it that way. MAAAAYBE Sam Raimi just added his own artistic license to the film and did so to such an extent that it looks like an evil dead film, but honestly I think he just basically took what he wanted to do in ED4 and incorporated it into this movie.
