So they included the most bare-bones connections and story elements from the first two films, and they completely changed Ash's character to further distinguish AoD as a stand-alone film. They didn't have the rights to the other films. When making Army of Darkness they encountered the same issue. When making Evil Dead 2, they didn't have the film rights to the first movie, so it couldn't be a direct sequel, which is why the first ¼ of ED2 is a completely different version of events than ED1, buuuuuut there is a point where it begins to be a direct sequel to ED1. The real world explanation: The Evil Dead series has never been consistent with it's continuity, for several reasons. With the book we see in AvED, the "Hero From The Sky" page is still intact, so it obviously can't be the same copy. In the "cabin" copy, some of the pages had been torn out and hidden in the castle, only for Annie Knowby to find them and bring them back to the states with her. It wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that someone else found a copy of the book in the many centuries it has existed, and somehow it ended up back into Ash's hands.Īnother aspect people overlook is the famous "Hero From The Sky" page. As Ash himself said to Ruby "I can't even fart without tripping over that thing", so perhaps the book (regardless of what copy it is) will eventually gravitate towards Ash due to his "Promised One"-ness.
To borrow a bit from the AOD comic side of the mythology, the "fake" books in the graveyard do indeed have the same contents as the "real" book, and if Ash would have said the words right, he could have taken any of them and it still would have everything he needed to get home. To think the Dark Ones would put all their eggs in one basket (or spells in one book, in this case) is ridiculous.
