If GB16 had been a better movie in some way (other than the cast who are rock solid) it would have been better recieved.

But I'm not hear to talk about the third best Ghostbusters movie, I'm here to let you know that Ghostbusters World (AKA pokemon Ghostbusters) is now out.

Says preregister for me. How are you getting it early?

I pre-reg'ed about a month back. That might have something to do with it.

So the busting of ghosts is pretty cool. I managed to catch a fearsome flush in the break room at work. It feels like the game is a bit target rich right now because I've managed to capture about 6 different ghosts just sitting on my couch after work, but that may be an intentional design decision compared to PokeGo.

The ghost world ghost team fights are neat. My team so far is Slimer, the librarian ghost, Sandman, and some random griffon I caught.

is Winston likely to return, and are they likely to actually give him more to do? The comics I recall expanded on his backstory as a former soldier more and being the most practically minded and spiritual of the Ghostbusters.

Wait, isn't the Ecto-3 the boat they never used?

There are already a few hundred "EMF detect ghosts OMG!!!!111!!Eleventyone" apps. I can easily see someone making a horrible reboot an homage with a modern day Ghostbusters subscription app gig economy thing. Customers download the app that turns their phones into a PKE meter that can also call the ghostbusters if it detects ghosts, meanwhile the characters are out of work academics that had to pay for their own ghostbusting equipment and only have 30 minutes to bust Babylonian gods or else the customer will leave less than a 5-star review.

Instead of the EPA the antagonist is Jeff Zuckermusk, CEO of Hauntr, who's a billionaire. That's it, he doesn't have to be doing some shady poo poo with the ghosts (which he's doing anyway because who cares about fines when you're a billionaire.)

Also all the weird crossovers are canon even if they can't directly name things outside of the crossover itself, like the inter-dimensional portal came from their crossover with the Ninja Turtles. Also, Gozer destroyed Cybertron.

Excellent. I sincerely hope they flesh out even a little bit of his backstory.

Also, I'm assuming that this movie is going to do away with the game's story?

I have to assume the director/writer went "What game" when the wrote the new one but it would be kind of hilarious if they didn't.

... .

The IDW comics rather subvert the whole dodgy business aspect by having the Ghostbusters basically nationalised by the city as a public service- with Walter Peck as their boss.

Firemen but for ghosts makes a decent amount of sense.

It only took two direct attacks on the city by supernatural gods for them to officially acknowledge that the supernatural exists.

Egon stayed because someone had to keep an eye on the massive ghost bomb in the basement containment unit.

All I could really think watching the trailer is that it looked a whole lot more like a Stranger Things spinoff. That isn't a criticism or anything it's just kind of hilariously how bluntly they went "Okay but what if Ghostbusters but also Stranger Things?"

Oh yeah, the Stranger Things inspiration is blalant. It's all an incestuous circle, no denying that.

Didn't one of the casting call things (not sure what those are called) just explicitly describe "kid who looks a lot like Finn Wolfhard"? And then they just cast Finn Wolfhard.
