I Still Need To Watch This Show But I Know I'll Feel The Same About Jack Just Being Ash - Tumblr Posts

When I looked up Jack of All Trades and saw the reviews saying that Jack feels like a time displayed Ash Williams, I was skeptical. But you know what? I am six episodes into this frankly ridiculous show and am left completely convinced that this is in fact a time displaced Ash Williams going under an alias.

The biggest issue with this take is that Jack has both hands.

But this isn't really an issue.

Why not? Well...

Wait, no, not that.

This:

I swear there's logic here, just stick with me.

Okay, so in another timeline, Ash drinks one too many drops of sleeping potion at the end of Army of Darkness and oversleeps by a century.

He wakes up in an apocalyptic world with advanced technology capable of giving him a much more realistic prosthetic than either the gauntlet or the power glove. Does... whatever it is he needs to do there, gets ahold of the Necronomicon, and attempts to use it to send himself back to his own time.

Except, Ash being Ash, he fucks up the words.

Next thing he knows he's in the late 1700s, let's say 1783/1784.

He somehow blunders his way into history and becoming a government agent under a false name, and deciding to just stay there and make a life for himself because he has once again lost the Necronomicon.

Now Jack does claim to have taken part in things that happened pre-1783 but Jack also lies out his ass, so does that really mean anything? Not to mention that any history talked about in Jack of All Trades must be take with a mountain of salt.

And I'll add onto this that Jack does get cut across the right wrist where the prosthetic would be.

But it looks like the blade barely touches him and there is no blood shown. He does wrap it but that could be him covering it up before Emilia sees it or something because it does seem like he had it mostly wrapped by the time she came into the lab, or at least bothered to give him and his injury any attention.

I would also compare to the scene where he's been shot. Mainly that there's visible blood in that scene and on his shirt in later scenes, unlike the scenes after he's cut, and he seemed overly surprised at being injured and even comments on how shocked he was the have actually been shot.

Again, I'm only 6 episodes into this show so my opinion (headcanoning) may change, but this is where it's at now.
