So if Akroyd (Goddamn for reals?) didn't want to make Ghostbusters 2 of all people, where did he get the boner for 3? Trying to revisit popularity? Why did they all hate something so beloved?

I think it would have been better served if instead of a comedy, maybe we should have gotten a re-imagining of a serious horror movie the way Akroyd wanted it originally.

Because a trap allows them to live and contain them and send them to jail vs kill them.

JMS was the lead writer for The Real Ghostbusters. It might had to do with the show having a little more to it than just being a standard kids show at times.

I mean, it seems okay. Having it be a kids adventure instead sounds fine to me.

Maybe this won’t be a comedy that’s similar to the original. Maybe it’s its own thing. Just a good young adult adventure or whatever. I’m good with that. Do something different than expect Ghostbusters 1 again, let’s see what this does over the coming months

Sequel does its own thing:
Ugh this isn't [franchise] at all! This sucks!

Sequel is not its own thing:
Ugh why even make it, if it's just rehashing the original? This sucks!

Basically. It may suck but like with Star Wars or anything with a fanatical fan base if it doesn’t live up to the feeling or perception in the fan’s head of what “it” should be, it’s going to get raged against and minds made up about how it sucks cause...*gestures wildly*

The instant trigger of gratification and tingly feelings of reassurance weren’t there.

Damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Damned anyway.

I feel like Ghostbusters could have a crossover with Hellraiser and it could be made to fit
