What was said about them, by kind

verdict (1)

  1. verdict (verdict): Bruce Campbell → The Evil Dead films. Bruce Campbell as Ash is the greatest final boy, macho-coded but swaying between competence and cowardice.
    “The way he sort of sways between like total competence and just like shrieking cowardice is a gift that just keeps on on giving.”
