There’s always a small shot I think of. It’s an apocalypse ep, and Egon pulls his collar up just before the final battle. As he’s standing there, it’s fluttering in the wind, and it’s so good looking.

As with every Saturday morning cartoon, I mainly just wished that the show would look as good as the theme song sequence.

The consistent frame rate the detail, the colours... It's so good. Also, apparently the ghost at the beginning (you know, the one in the sign) has a name? Something like moogie or like that?

Jfc, the only callback I ever really want to see is a film version of that loving boogeyman. That would be incredible. Also, there exists a few shots of what Vigo looked like as he walked out of the painting, which is what they were going to do before they just made him disappear and reappear, and they are chilling.

My oldest niece is a huge anime fan; I got my mom to show her "Ragnarok and Roll" recently, and now they're blaring through the Lorenzo Music era of RGB. They're having a blast.

Given that the costumes and gear from RGB are available to be worn and used in Spirits Unleashed, now that I've seen and heard this, I'm upset it's not an option. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vl4ffHqItes I'm well aware of how music licensing works, but like... C'mon, this should be able to happen. I know I'd pay for the RGB soundtrack as official DLC, help offset the composer royalties that would likely be due (unless they signed them away, who knows). And because the game is so tied to online, it's not like you could just go to the Steam workshop or wherever and mod your game.

The colours and lights and shading all pop, and it’s got that 80s/early 90s warmth that cartoons don’t have any more. Rupert Buttermilk posted:This might actually be from Ragnarok and Roll.

I just tried googling for them, and they do exist, but it's kind of ridiculous how hard they are to find. Keep in mind, they're just stills, or maybe even photos, not actual video.

Kemper Boyd posted:You mean these? https://www.reddit.com/r/ghostbusters/comments/qbygu2/instead_of_turning_into_the_floating_head_vigo/ Nope, not them. It was literally a shot of his head, looking much more evil with I think glowing eyes, where he looked more like a devil, pushing out of the flat painting. I'll keep looking. Edit: goddammit, I swear this is real. I'm shocked how difficult it is to find. I even just consulted Daniel Wallace's Ghostbusters Ultimate Visual History book, and unless I missed a page, it's not there either. I literally messaged Ghostbusters News/Jason Fitzsimmons on FB to see if he knows what I'm referring to. The face almost looked like a classic vampire monster face; not as humanoid as Dracula, but really loving evil and scary looking, more like the vampire in Midnight Mass.

The_Doctor posted:I honestly wish they’d expanded on Shandor being alive in Afterlife. He’s there for 30 seconds, and then done. Him being a cult leader who hosed off and died decades before his plans came to fruition was the most interesting thing about Shandor. Lorehorning him back into the series is the ideal example of "don't give the fans what they want."

LividLiquid posted:Hang on a tick. I remember this too. Was it maybe from the book you could get out of the Scholastic catalog? I had that as a kid. I'm not sure, because I only saw this recently, like in the past 5 or so years. I may have even posted it itt, but I don't have time to look through everything right now. Edit: also, Jason just got back to me saying he's not familiar with it, which I find surprising. If this is found, it could literally be news to him, THE Ghostbusters guy.

When I saw GB2 as a kid, I was so scared of the big Vigo head at the end, I had to turn around and look at the tiny film in the projector in the cinema. Then my dad took me for a GB2 Wimpy meal with a "Ghost in a can" and pink slime milkshake.

They hit a home run by casting that really scary looking guy as Vigo(he also appears in Die Hard and In the Mouth of Madness). Because of course the situation is goofy as hell and no adults watching are really going to be scared by it, but then you cast that guy and it's a super simple way to make sure that any kids watching are gonna have nightmares. And then Von Sydow's voice is just the icing on the cake.

I'll keep looking. so if you click through the comments in that reddit post there are links few different other posts/articles linked including some different behind the scenes art and takes with the actor in the modeled version of the painting as well as some cool concept art of Vigo's head:  there's also a super sped up behind the scenes feature which might have what you are talking about, it shows what looks like Vigo pushing his gauntleted hand out of the picture but then possibly a shot of the face you are talking about :  admittedly super blurry because of the low quality plus insane frame rate, but slightly easier to see in the actual video -- starts at about 1:53 at this link: https://www.facebook.com/100047613976239/videos/963358650401142

If I put the scariest parts from least to most, it'd be Vigo-Ray, Slime Tub, heads on pikes in the subway, and then Eyebeam Janosz in the darkened hallway.

I think I’ve mentioned it before, but I remember seeing a photo in a magazine (maybe starlog or starburst) about the time of GB2 of the Statue of Liberty with a slightly cartoonish but monstrous face. It looked like a mock-up /concept of what they could do. It may not have been GB2-related at all, just the timing seems to match up.

This? That's from Ghostbusters: The Ultimate Visual History. An abandoned concept of Viggo haunting Libby it seems. The book is pretty good imo btw. deoju fucked around with this message at 07:37 on Feb 8, 2024 |

I think it's the scene after this (and apologies for linking my own twitter), where they're standing there about to be blown to poo poo and are sort of dealing with it in their own way and all Egon says is "Janine" and god, Maurice LaMarche just absolutely loving nails the delivery https://twitter.com/realflanmurray/status/1756375904740061562 but this is so rich, the detail in the backgrounds & the sheer density of plot and exposition

Well I got my daughter her proton pack and wand, and then I added some paint, a ribbon cable, and decals...  I printed the decals for free off the internet and applied them with a glue stick. Figure that's good enough for a child's toy. These things really look pretty good for $15 toys though. Now I should see if she wants to customize it herself with stickers or whatever. And maybe attach a tube going from the pack to the blaster.

Finally got my hands on an original 1983 Seiko M516 in working condition, for a not-insane price (you can find these on eBay in the $2k-3k range). This was pretty much the last 1984 GB outfit piece I was missing. I’d still like an Egon MiniRad made from an original though.
