The remake can connect with the original series. Here's how.
The necronomicon is similar to the Tall Man from Phantasm. It can bend and Morph reality to its will.
After being stopped by ash countless times, the necromomicon had a new game plan. It would change the entire dimension it resided in.
Changing the dimension led to many differences. Changes in appearance for the necronomicon, for the cabin, etc.
But some things "mirror" the original dimension.
Events, characters, etc. The Oldsmobile, albeit different, is mirrored. Someone having a possessed limb is mirrored. Certain outfits worn by the characters are mirrored. |

This also works for all the differences in the sequels.

You mean it provides an in-universe explanation as to why Army of Darkness is a whole lot more campy than the prior movies?
Why would the book turn Ash into a cheesy action hero?
I kid, I kid.
I heard that the film fits easily into the universe, and shouldn't be considered a remake, so, ye.
Lets make 'Ye' a think.

| But it explains why the ED2 backstory is different. Why the opening of AoD contradicts the ending of ED2. Why Ash doesn't have grey hair in AoD. |

You're talking about the opening to ED2 right? When it shows just Ash, and his girlfriend, it's just a quick summary because Sam Raimi couldn't get the rights, or something? Anyway that recap shouldn't be referred to as canon.
The colour of Ash's hair is hardly essential to the plot, and how does AoD's opening contradict? |

AoD
Since it was in the film
Its canon
Besides, the rest of ED2 still doesn't make much sense. Shouldn't ash already know the bridge is out? Why is the professor's name different? Why is the recording different? Why is the book different? Etc.
And because this is the ending of ED2 -

A lot different than the opening of AoD. |

Alright, so there's plot inconsistencies.
It doesn't make sense for the necronomicon to alter the events.
What would the book gain for altering Ash's hair colour? It makes as much sense as the inconsistencies themselves. Maybe the crossover will explain more. |

| It doesn't choose what happens. It simply resets the timeline. Or maybe each movie is an alternate universe, and the ED remake is simply the product of a lot of conjoined, tangled up timelines ala 11/22/63 |

| But, how would resetting the timeline benefit the book? It's simply causing the events to happen over again resulting in an endless loop. |

The Tall Man resetting it obviously didn't help him.
Its a last resort. The book was burning in a fireplace, it had no choice. It reset the timeline and ED 2 happened. Unfortunately the evil got sent into limbo, and so the book reset again. And then somewhere along the line it reset so much it ended up creating the remake. |
