Intrusive DRM. Just like the Sony BMG rootkit scandal of 2005! You’re right. No human being would enact DRM like this.

I think it might've made it to a lunchbox, too. I had the one where the RGB are walking down the street, sort of like from the end sequence from the cartoon.

Kids in wheelchairs getting one non-canon cartoon Ghostbuster and one member of the Burger King Kid's Club 25 years ago to see themselves in their media sure is a good reason to be violently angry.

Were the Extreme Ghostbusters considered a part of Real Ghostbusters canon or Movie Ghostbusters canon? Important question.

I watched most of Extreme Ghostbusters last year, it's on Hulu. It takes place in the then contemporary 90s. The Ghostbusters had basically got most of the ghosts and put themselves out of a job. Egon became a college professor and then hired his students when new ghosts showed up. It was done by that studio that did the MIB and Godzilla cartoon, so it was pretty high quality. I wonder what ever happened to that studio. I think Dwayne McDuffie was also involved.

That's another tie in with MiB. I saw the first movie and it was... fine? but since then, everyone says that that was basically what GB3 could've/would've been, and if so, I'm glad GB3 didn't happen back then. And no, I'm not getting that confused with the real spiritual (heh) sequel, Evolution. MiB was talked about similarly. To me, the MiB movies are entirely forgettable.

Kids in wheelchairs getting one non-canon cartoon Ghostbuster and one member of the Burger King Kid's Club 25 years ago to see themselves in their media sure is a good reason to be violently angry. Just imagine. A cast of a Black guy, a Latino guy, a guy in a wheelchair and a GIRL with only one original cast member who doesn't even come out to hunt ghosts much. A certain type of people would come unglued today. That said I thought EGB was pretty good overall. It's got an episode where an R.L. Stine-alike writes the Cenobites into existence for heaven's sake. My only two issues with the show were the animation quality wasn't great and they never seemed scared of the ghosts very much which kind of took the wind out of the episodes' plots sometimes. Still worth checking out.

EGB did have a return of a creepy-rear end RGB ghost. The Grundel. He shows up in an original RGB episode back in '87, then is reintroduced in EGB. The Grundel's schtick is that he encourages kids to be naughty, turning them into Grundels. The EGB story was unsettling, as it was about one of Kylie's childhood friends going missing - after being turned into a Grundel. Now it's like 10 years later and there's two Grundels running around. Or something. text me a vag pic fucked around with this message at 13:53 on Jul 16, 2021 |

The Real Ghostbusters has the same monster designer as the Jumanji cartoon, iirc. (the Jumanji cartoon is another one worth a watch iirc, and Welcome to the Jungle actually takes probably more inspiration from it than the original movie in some ways)

They made an Extreme Ghostbusters video game for GBA years after the show was cancelled. I wonder what was up with that.

Must have been one hell of a development cycle - the GBA wasn't even released until four years after the show ended. A Game Boy Color game based on the show didn't come out until 2001 either. Maybe the weird timing of the games was prompted by Aykroyd's Ghostbusters 3 script, which was written around then and allegedly featured a similar passing of the torch.
