Why?
Arguing with people on Facebook about the new Ghostbusters.
...but why?
Well, AVGN released a video proclaiming that instead of reviewing it, he will be refusing to watch it, and he gave a lot of damn good reasons. The comments section turned into diarrhea.
I totally support his decision. I will be watching it myself, but I am not paying to watch it.
He pointed out things like the special effects looking like Scooby Doo. The fact that make an ALL female cast is now giving the air of "the female Ghostbusters" vs "the male Ghostbusters". Also having original actors appear making cameos, not as their characters leaves the whole concept of 'passing the torch' as a fart in the wind. Plus NAME IT SOMETHING ELSE GOD DAMN IT. Like "Ghostbusters: Recharged" or something, so we don't have to have Ghostbusters(1984) and Ghostbusters(2016).
Overall it seems like the people behind it really got disconnected from the fanbase, and in the end it just comes across as a way to make money with little to no respect for the franchise or the existing fans.
