Should have required it be a soft reboot. 30 years later, Ghostbusters retired/missing/in-hiding/angry and said fuck off/ - new team on the scene. Maybe one is a daughter. Whatever. Then do this movie. Cameos or not. Slimer throwback to connect. Done. Expand on from there. Bring in dudes. Do the dude team in LA. Cinematic universe. Ghost Bill Murray.

That's what I don't get either.
The reasoning on the reboot was because New York had been through so many big frights already. So why not move it to a different city? Like Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Seattle, and many other major ones. Then as ghosts show up, the scares will still be there because until faced with it themselves, it'll have been "Crazy New Yorker stories."

Would have given them the original basis they wanted, and kept the continuity of the previous intact. Could have even let the new team upstage the old on the tech side too, and all around gave much more story room to move more freely while still respecting the original.

Hopefully they have something interesting and big planned though with two teams getting movies. Wonder if they'll interact at all.

Everything else I'm fine with on the movie. Want to see how it turns out.
