I don't get why people and Raimi/Campbell keep saying Ash is

... "idiot". WHAT ???????????????

In #1 he was weak and scared as hell but... he was just 20 years old or so and I challenge EVERYONE in this board to react in a different way in THAT same horrible situation!

In #2 he was older and more skilled. He managed to survive and defeat evil. 'Nuff said!

In #3 he was serious anyway. Just angry as a wolf. He just forgot the words (I would have done the same, no memo to read). That's it. He's still a human man thrown into BIGGER and DIFFICULT situations to deal with.
If one-liners are an indication a hero is "idiot" and "stupid" then... 90% of the cinematic heroes would be idiot and stupid, including Indiana Jones.

Ash is a flawed hero, but flawed, not idiot. I don't know why Sam and Bruce keep saying so, it's mystery to me.
