Why Evil Dead Needs a New Hero

Evil Dead spent decades with Ash Williams as the face of the franchise, but once Bruce Campbell retired the chainsaw, something unexpected happened: the series survived. Evil Dead (2013) reinvented the formula, Evil Dead Rise proved it could work again, and Evil Dead Burn continued pushing the franchise into increasingly brutal territory. But has something important been lost along the way? With Ash gone and Evil Dead Wrath on the horizon, we look at how the franchise successfully moved beyond its most iconic character, why its rotating cast of survivors has worked so far, and whether Evil Dead now needs something it hasn't truly had since Ash: a hero audiences desperately want to survive.

Second, yes we need a new Ash. But it’s so hard to follow up Bruce Campbell’s performance and Sam Rami’s writing.
Let’s hope for the best
I am actually not so much for a new hero, as, I think, surviving the deadites is impossible for more than one movie, instead you're going a comedic direction. I really enjoyed Evil Dead Burn as it is. So, if a new hero is needed, it should be parallel to the approach, that is ongoing since Evil Dead Rise.
One direction for a long going hero using comedy to survive this hell executed by one director and a continuation of the other movies, telling the gruesome stories of Rise, Burn and Wrath as spin-offs of deadites, where hope is not that high or a lucky ending even not necessery - one franchise collecting all the different horror fans. Directors could change their to keep it fresh.
For the humorous approach I would wish for something like Zombeaver, Black Sheep or Slither... great stuff!
