Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

So instead of the GB3 movie Akroyd wanted to make that would have had the old team act as mentors to a new team, and set up GB franchises (in universe, think of MCDonnald's) set up around the World, Sony decided to scrap that, start over but have it all female to look like they're progressive.
Fine.
But that's not all, now they announced that they're planing a movie with an all male cast, and that Akroyd is now in charge of a project thats' supposed to set up Ghostbusters as the next Avengers styled shared universe. This is just stupid.
What's next? An all black team? An all white team? An all Chinese team? An all gay team?
I mean, apart from the Marvel styled shared universe everyone is trying to copy (Sony alone is planning 4 now), why do the teams have to be gender specific?
I still like Akroyd's original plan better, that way we'd get 80s nostalgia, already have a basis set up and get a meaning full passing the torch effect. You know, similar to how Extreme Ghostbusters was. That show was awesome, it had call backs to the old series and team, while establishing the new team as their own brilliant beast.
This way it just feels weird and wrong, kinda disingenuous.

Bill Murry, dan Ackroyd, Ernie Hudson, Harrold Ramis, Anne Potts, Rick Moranis, Signory Weaver, the dude with no dick. That group was special, and they made something special. The cartoon worked because it was a different beast altogether, but even it kept the same characters.
Going with any of these new movies would be worse than Stifler's Dukes of Hazzard.
Madeus Prime wrote:IMHO, let the franchise die out, I get that the original idea for Ghostbuster's 3 was to set up a younger team, probably under the tutelage of the original team, so that Ghostbuster agencies could start up all over the world, thus opening the door to more sequels. But the idea of a all female cast reboot? Not being sexist here, but blech!

Evil_the_Nub wrote:I think Ghostbusters has huge potential, but the original set the bar so high I doubt audiences will give a movie that deviates from it a fair chance. There are countless religions and historic events to draw inspiration from. Instead of movies I'd like to see a TV series, maybe with spinoffs set in different cities like Law and Order or CSI.

That said speaking of "Fan service" in the Pervy Japanese sense of the term... that whole Stantz gets pleasured by a lady ghost bit is very much under that heading.
Keith Russell defines fan service as "the random and gratuitous display of a series of anticipated gestures common in Manga and Anime. These gestures include such things as panty shots, leg spreads and glimpses of breast". Russell regards fan service as being an aesthetic of the transient "glimpse", which he contrasts with the gaze, as it takes the mind unaware and open to "libidinous possibility" without mediation. He considers the fan service object to be reassuring in its unrealistic nature and to be confirming the "freedom of desire".
