The very late 80s, early 90s was crazy about putting an environmental message into media. There was a massive star-studded Earth Day special around 89-91. I think Shatner did a separate ecology special thing for TBS or something around that time. It seems like a lot of sci-fi and action movies had to work in a plot about how we're killing the planet or finally succeeded. edit: YOu want your 4th BTTF film?!

the loudest criticisms of the movie will be ones that are of the least consequence to the actual quality of the film, but social media personalities will prop up the loudest spouters of these illegitimate complaints as the primary detractors in order to increase their own subscriber and follower counts, while the movie tanks because none of these people actually bothered to see the film

That just puts it into the same category of a lot of 'average' films that got slammed. I know I've seen a lot of very low-scoring, low-earning flicks a few years after the initial internet hate wagon had ended and found myself being sort of surprised with how 'watchable' they were, nowhere near the disaster it was made out to be. I just don't think for this film there is a quality or influential enough quantity of takedown social media personalities that can skew the preconceived audience perception into the negative that much unless the film actually IS total trainwreck. A bad film to the point that even the emphatically pro-change voices see the movie and do a complete "I'm still glad we got female ghostbusters, I'm just very sorry it was this movie..."

Pitdragon posted:why the gently caress do people care so much that they decided to make them 4 women instead of 4 men Because Ghostbusters is a traditionally libertarian franchise. The appearance of women onscreen is taken as an example of affirmative action rewarding minorities who 'haven't earned it.' Note the thread's repeated emphasis on not knowing who these actors are. In 2016, the libertarian audience is already catered to by the Iron Man franchise, and that series is held up as the 'normal' from which other films deviate. The title of this thread, for example, expresses typical concern that the nature of the Ghostbusters franchise will be 'darkened', robbed of its innocence, and otherwise corrupted/violated. Ghostbusters 3 must be opposed on the basis that it is degenerate art. The concern over grimdarkness is of course mixed with anger over rumors that the film ends with a dance sequence, and the appearance of a bowtie-wearing cartoon. This isn't an accident; the degenerate enemy is simply a mix of contradictory traits. What matters is that they are not us. The original Ghostbusters featured both rape and a cartoon marshmallow dressed as Donald Duck.

I want to see Capt. Planet throughout the ages. A Civil War era Capt. Planet with a huge North and South mane of hair fighting a body horror Confederate doctor calling himself Sawbones. Revolutionary War Capt. Planet in powdered wig doling out environmentally safe barbs at Mme. Bathorywater and Wilhelm Whaleoil.

It was pretty funny reasin about the MRA people screaming about how Mad Max was a feminazi films or whatever then actually watching it and imagining what people were thinking during certain bits. Biker-Granny says, "Kill all the men!" Then she survives juuuust long enough to hear, "JOE IS DEAD!" Then she dies with a peaceful smile on her face.

No, they dress up as the original Ghostbusters, which leads to them being physically and verbally assaulted at the theater for creating a hostile atmosphere for dressing like that. One of the guys is openly crying. "I knew putting the uniform back on was a mistake! It's just like my uncle's funeral, all over again!" One of the female characters shows up and explains, no, they're not being sexist any more than women who show up dressed as the female ghostbusters are sexist. They're just showing their support of foolish superstitious belief in the idea of an afterlife, which is nearly as bad, but it's based out of love, not hate. A guy emerges from the crowd with a 64oz drink and throws it at her face and calls her a sex-traitor (He then scurries onto screen to grab the cup off the ground and says, "I need to get a refill, I'll be right back!") In shock, she manages to continue to stand there, defending the men, until a woman pushes though the crowd, calling her a bitch, and hits her in the head with a napkin dispenser, knocking her to the ground. Her ghost levitates from her body and ascends into a white light. "Wow, if I was wrong about the afterlife, I wonder if I was wrong about the guys not being hateful about the Ghostbusters costumes." She stops her ascent into the heavens and instead decides to reenter her body.

Ya know I kinda half suspect that the hospital pictures are all a very clever joke, but I know deep down that there's no way the people making this film are that smart or funny. What I don't get is why this movie is a remake and not a sequel. Make it take place in a time when the Ghostbusters have franchised their stuff out. I'm no writer or anything but I'd imagine that it would allow for cameos that make sense and would allow for a whole new range of jokes and situations that aren't just "like the old one but worse" Edit: plus they wouldn't be replacing any ghostbusters with f-f-females, rather just making entirely new characters that don't even need to attempt to fit an established mold
