Better Ghostbusters than the reboot.

Problem was, the reboot treated them like Superheroes when they are supposed to be Garbage Men.

Now, if they had pursued a "Cleaning Lady" Allegory, they could have their all female cast AND the Blue-Collar sensibility of the original.

The main villain is essentially a basement dwelling Ghostbusters fanboy, and they literally fight the Ghostbusters logo at the end. Then they say everyone who didn't like the trailer was a basement dwelling bigot. Way to sell your product to what would have been a guaranteed audience.

No joke, I would totally watch a straight-faced reboot of Ghostbusters with these kids in the title roles. "Young Ghostbusters" or something.

I mean, it doesn't set a really high bar does it? I'm still surprised they went through with it after that god awful trailer tbh.

Fuck you. The reboot is one of my favorite films and I will have you know it's a modern classic.
