Paul Feig is a dick.
“Geek culture is home to some of the biggest assholes I’ve ever met in my life,” the filmmaker told the New York Daily News. “Especially after being attacked by them for months because of this ‘Ghostbusters’ project.”

Ernie wan't an essential part of the team. He was just looking for a job and mostly moved the equipment around. His entire character is one big joke.

he contributed a lot more to the team than that black woman

He had dignity though.

>I reject reality and substitute it with my own
piss off.
>>69249999
You had quads tho.
I've really got a feeling people hate Ghostbusters 2016 because of the female cast since the original was garbage and this is going to follow the same exact formula 100%.

>ignores the fanbase entirely
>makes it about hiw own personal agenda for dykes
>"why does everyone hate my movie?"
why the fuck was this retard given any kind of control over this shit?
>>69249787
Well no shit. Lucas is still taking a reaming because of the prequels. Don't shit on things that people hold sacred.
What the fuck is geek culture?
>>69250111
I don't even fucking know what "geek" is supposed to mean anymore. They call themselves geeks but then talk shit about anyone who cares about it too much. Geek now just means "consumer of pop culture."

He's the only real person in the group. The rest were eccentric, brilliant weirdos.
Seems to me like he was there as somebody for the viewer to sympathize with, not a hi-larious and oh-so-sassy black caricature.
