Because Sam Raimi doesn't care about continuity and one makes for a better ending whereas the other makes for a better opening.

Because the only sure thing about the evil dead trilogy is "Continuity be damned. Making sense? What sense? That's not what we're here for!"
I guess that beginning is more dramatic than if Ash was treated as a hero from the start, this way he has to prove himself and that adds some extra tension. Also, being chained, whipped, kicked, punched and thrown in the well with the deadite... You wouldn't do that to a hero, right? The only apparent constant in Ash's miserable existence is that he gets abused a lot and here's a great opportunity to make his life just a little bit more miserable.
The timeline has changed.

Well, this is my NEW personal canon: just mine.
It's a theory.
It's not a gospel.
It's not canon.
Hopefully you'll like it the same way I like it.

THE EVIL DEAD PLASTIC UNIVERSE THEORY

Have fun, have a good read. I'm just a passionate fan.
Thank you so much.
I'm glad they changed the beginning of AOD. having Ash go from bad to worse situation just seems to fit his unluckyness.
It's a theory.
from your blogspot:
Ash is possessed at the very end of his battle. The Book of the Dead is also lost forever (burned), and the Kandarian Demon cannot use it anymore in order to conquer the world of the living. a select elite of Raimanders perform the ritual and establish the Realityquakes system.
Since the creators of the Book of the Dead are long deceased and turned to dust, I'd change it to the Kandarian demons altering the timeline trying to restore the book, which inadvertently causes the Worldline to shift, rewriting it to ED2.

They are the Dark Ones. They are immortal.

Yeah, but that would make the Kandarian Demon way too powerful and IMPOSSIBLE to defeat, especially if he can change the timeline wherever he wants or needs to.

i'm rewatching Ash Vs Evil Dead. they do mention the 'dark ones', so my mistake
they are half demon-half human
although it hasn't said they are immortal, yet.
