Center
Primary
Ash vs Evil Dead is a comedic horror series primarily focused on fighting supernatural evil with over-the-top gore and slapstick humor. Its core conflict and solutions are apolitical, centering on direct confrontation with an external, non-ideological threat, resulting in a neutral political bias.
The series features a visibly diverse ensemble cast supporting its traditional white male protagonist. While the lead character's traditional masculinity is often humorously critiqued through his flaws and the competence of his diverse companions, the narrative does not explicitly center on DEI themes or portray traditional identities negatively.
Secondary
The show features several female characters who engage in and win close-quarters physical combat against male opponents. Kelly Maxwell and Brandy Barr frequently defeat male Deadites using melee weapons and hand-to-hand techniques. Ruby Knowby, a powerful demon, also physically overpowers male characters like Ash Williams.
Ash vs Evil Dead does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes in its narrative. The show's focus remains on horror-comedy, gore, and the ongoing battle against the Deadites, with no significant exploration or depiction of queer identity.
Ash vs Evil Dead does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative. The series focuses on horror-comedy and monster-fighting, with no plot points or character arcs related to transgender identity.
The show is a direct sequel to the original Evil Dead films, with the main protagonist Ash Williams retaining his established male gender. New characters are introduced, but no existing, canonically established characters from the source material have their gender changed.
Ash Williams, the central legacy character, is portrayed by the original actor, Bruce Campbell, maintaining his established race. The show primarily introduces new characters whose races are not subject to the race swap definition.
