Phoebe is my favorite. She's easily the best legacy character. McKenna Grace is so good.
The characters for me are not the weakness of these last 2 movies. It's the script and the nostalgia bait. I like the new characters. I wish they just had...less nostalgia reliant material
I honestly forgot about him, lol!Kumail Nanjiani's character very much was a big problem for me.
I say retire the franchise, honestly. I think Ghostbusters simply is an IP that's just....run its course. It's okay to just let these go and move on to new IPs sometimes. And I say this as someone who didn't hate this last movie, but it wasn't amazing either. We're just past the prime of the franchise at this point
I mean, the franchise was retired for 25 years.
I'm certainly glad we have the two films we do with the surviving members still able to contribute.
Now they can go in any new direction really.
International?
No...wait!
Ghostbusters being a satire about workplace drama and business in general is absolutely the most interesting part of the concept.Honestly, if it were me I would make smaller Ghostbusters films and use the franchise concept. My one idea is you have a Ghostbusters branch in an entirely different city and their Ghostbusters unionize and go on strike, and we follow a group of unemployed friends who become scab Ghostbusters and ya know they get hand me down equipment, anti-union videos, and barely any training and then they gotta take on like some kind of Conjuring like super demon and they are woefully untrained.
I would play around with the concept like that
Part of me wants this to not succeed just so Sony's only money maker is Spidey....which would hopefully bring them one step closer to shutting down their film side for good.

Another decent hold for this last weekend. Seems to be doing better on the weekends than it does of a weekday.
