Sigh... I love the original Ghostbusters, I didn't mind the idea of an all-female team nor did I dislike the idea of having four comedians who could work off each other but this... this is just sad.

Why is there orange on the outfit? It throws off the aesthetic completely and as for the characters themselves, they just look like female versions of the characters I know just with a different name slapped on them.

I don't like the direction this is heading in, I feel this movie is going to head in the direction that I once feared The Force Awakens to be heading in. It's going to shove the fact that we have an all-female team down my throat while simultaneously failing to develop each member into a likable character.

Why couldn't Dan Aykroyd have just gone with the bright idea of cancelling this series and leaving us with the legacy to look back on or possibly do a Ghostbusters 3? Why is it that we're being left with what I feel to be pandering nonsense to the supposed "feminist" demographic?

It's as that one guy said, we apparently live in a world where selling Slave Leia merchandise is not okay anymore and we can't get a good movie Scarlet Witch and yet suddenly we're going to be getting a movie that while it has potential, it's the whole idea that could possibly lead to this becoming pandering nonsense that cares more about being supposedly "progressive" than it does making a good movie?

You know what was my favorite movie of this year? The Force Awakens and one of the many things I loved about the movie was how it didn't draw attention to the fact that there is a more diverse cast nor did it make everyone who isn't a female a joke. Han was still competent, Finn was very well-done and overall, it just felt more progressive without feeling like the supposed "feminist propaganda" that people claim it to be. To me, this has the potential of unfortunately becoming that and it's just sickening to me.

I want to like this movie, I really do and when it comes out, I do hope that when I see it that it turns out to be a shockingly good time. I don't want another situation like female Thor where the character is so obnoxious in their pandering to this crowd that I want to vomit.
