the scene in evil dead 2 where ash gets his chainsaw arm is a metaphor for bottom surgery. i will not elaborate
#actually i will elaborate!#there's often phallic symbolism in the weapons used in slasher movies and i swear i'm not just saying shit i got this from a reading i had#to do for a film course i'm taking this term#chainsaws are one of these weapons#as demonstrated in that infamous scene from texas chainsaw massacre 2#so like. taking a chainsaw and making it a part of your body? i think you can see the connections here#i'd try to analyze this a little more if i remembered evil dead 2 in more detail but alas... maybe after a rewatch#btw the book chapter that i'm very badly citing here actually mentions ash in a footnote as a character who could be considered like#a male equivalent of a final girl (though not entirely)#most of the chapter is about analyzing the final girl trope it's really interesting#(for the curious the book is called men women and chainsaws by carol clover)#ransom.txt#evil dead#(edit: i didn't know this when i made this post but carol clover didn't just analyze the final girl trope she was actually the#one who coined that term in the first place! cool as hell)
