Like i don't like comedy as as genre but when it mixes with action or thrillers it's a complete shitshow. Characters make weird decisions , responds to the situation in stupid ways , characters cracking joke while someones losing their head , makes plot holes as in that's so stupid no one would do that it's only there to advance plot , makes remarks not suited to the situation all so they can sneak in some one liners or cringe jokes. There are aldready comedy movies let them enjoy that and let others enjoy other genres . Mixing comedy with other genres ruins an othervise good movie.

One of the reason i only watched the evil dead one and reboot . Couldn't stand 2 and 3 no one would act like that when put in the evil dead scenario .

no one would act like that

Kind of the point is that it doesn't matter, and they aren't supposed to act the way a real person would act in that scenario. They are not doing the thing you expect them to do, because they don't have the same purpose that you're assuming they have. This is just a case of misplaced expectations.

I so strongly disagree, yet I completely understand at the same time.

Look at it this way: Forget the "horror" part after part one because it's really tangential to what they were going for. No one would act like The Three Stooges in any of their wacky situations either, and that's a big part of the humor. The filmmakers were big Three Stooges fans, which is why they went a different way for the sequels.

But even so, it's not appealing to you, and that's okay. I too like the first one and the remake, though for me not quite as well as the others.

I actually haven't seen the latest installment.
