In the original movie there was "something strange in your neighborhood", so naturally in a sequel there are Stranger Things.

I know Answer The Call is a different universe, but is the 2009 video game canon here?

Sequel does its own thing: Ugh this isn't [franchise] at all! This sucks! Sequel is not its own thing: Ugh why even make it, if it's just rehashing the original? This sucks!

I think we'll all be ghosts before that movie is released.

Basebf555 posted:The general public definitely ended up perceiving them as frauds. All most people ever knew was that there were some claims of ghosts running around, then the Ghostbusters went into a highrise building and blew the roof off the place causing millions of dollars in damage. When Ghostbusters II came out, I wondered how countless people could see such an event, in a place as populous as NYC, and think it was all a scam/hoax. ... and then 9/11 happened ... and "truthers" happened.

Finally saw it last night Why didn't Zuul/Vinz Clortho possess Egon rather than killing him via heart attack? Why didn't ghost Egon get sucked into the trap array? What of all the other ghosts around town?

Basebf555 posted:GB2 definitely has a strong "you had to be there" element to it, because if you were 5 years old in 1989 then it's gonna have a totally different significance to you than other people. For a kid who was dressing up in the costumes for Halloween(I was a Ghostbuster 2 years in a row) and watching the cartoon series every day after school and buying all the toys, it just didn't occur to us that GB2 was a rehash or that the cast didn't want to be there. We were so unbelievably hyped for another Ghostbusters that we weren't even thinking on those terms. I still remember being in the car on the way home from Ghostbusters 2 and one of my parents asked which one I liked more and I said GB2. I said it because I was a child, and it was newer, and I literally just saw it. I remember my parents not sharing my preference and at the time I was confused as to why.

So basically they could/should have shot the maid with their proton beam, which would have killed her and instantly trapped her ghost in its beam. So they roll out a trap and charge the hotel more money for capturing more ghosts.

The animated film or series should take place between Ghostbusters 2 and Afterlife and really explain what the hell Egon did to Ray that was so bad, that Ray wouldn't even investigate the Shandor Mining Company's operation in Summerville.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:It also really handily explains why each of the sequels had to start from a position where pretty much everyone else has forgotten or dismissed the events of the previous films even though they were extremely newsworthy and unforgettable - the juxtaposition underpinning Ghostbusters just doesn't work otherwise. It's really really unlikely that Phoebe had never heard anything at all about her Grandfather's exploits in NYC in 1984 even accidentally but but it was pretty important thematically for that to be the case. Granted they didn't go this route with Afterlife, but I could see something like the 1984 events being dismissed as some of kind of conspiracy. (See: 9/11 Truthers, or hell, a couple years ago/today regarding COVID). Maybe they touched on the idea of the general public not believing the events of Ghostbusters in Ghostbusters II, I don't remember. It's such a common problem in media where the original is like an underdog story and/or uncovering some big truth. Once the underdog is no longer the underdog and/or the truth is uncovered, where do you go from there in a sequel?

CelticPredator posted:“No eye witnesses” I think the read is that no eye witnesses saw that The Ghostbusters fixed the issue(s). Still a big stretch though.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Why would Venkman even bother hiding booze in the first place? In the first film he and Ray were openly chugging down booze all the time - he was swilling from a bottle during the entire "Call it fate, call it luck, call it karma" speech, they were drinking Buds during the "this magnificent feast here represents the last of the petty cash" scene, his immediate reaction when they thought they neutronized Gozer was "It's Miller time!", etc etc It's possible he could have changed in the past 40 years.

If the next Ghostbusters needs Bill Murray, then find someone he can't say 'no' to. That's right, Ghostbusters directed by Wes Anderson.
