What a cynical, corporate focus group calculated attempt to look hip. I don't know why so many people on the boards here defend this show, aside from their maybe being IRL newfags who don't remember the vastly superior The Real Ghostbusters.
Good thing haunted houses all have ramps right r-right?
>>78658062
Because they want to slime Kylie.
Were you even alive when The Real Ghostusters aired?

and the black guy, there's nothing interesting about him except that he was voiced by Alfonso Ribeiro in another tragic case of typecasting
Bitch I remember both, liked both.
And it's more groove rock, you tasteless faggot
>>78658188
Whatever, I really don't give a shit about rock music because I'm not a pleb who thinks wearing studded denim jackets with anarchy patches is cool.

Unique character. Never seen a "douche" character like that and he supposed to be an "alphamale leader" but actually almost goes to background YET he is the only who has a romance line with Kylie through all this series

man, as a fat kid, I had mixed feelings about fat characters.
I hated the "I need a snack/I'm so hungry" character trait.
but I loved the "Power house/Strongest Defense"
>>78658062
Ill give you that the theme song sucks, It's really PC, and it's not the same without Peter, Ray and Winstion
Still, compared to most of the kidvid at the time, it was better than most. Stories had some darkness to them.
I didn't mind Eduardo, Kylie and Roland so much. But I openly concede that Garrett just plain sucked.
At least there were a few good Egon/Janine shipping moments
>>78658336
This. I avoided the show for two decades because of the title, but I was pleasantly surprised.
>>78658081
>Good thing haunted houses all have ramps right r-right?
Wait...yeah...i do remember them going in all kinds of places with stairs and shit and i dont remember it was explained how he got here.
PS:
Also there was an episode about Dark Future where ghostbusters are dead and the ruler or Dark Future-something because the king of the world and enslaved it with gosts.
There are legend about ghostbusters that were fighting ghosts when it all started BUT when 90s Garret asked about what he doing in that legend he found that he wasn't included.
It seems that he died quite quickly when apocalypse started. It bothered me as a kid so much.
Because why to be a badass in a wheelchair if you gonna die so fast when some real action starts...
>>78658142
Actually, according to Eduardo, Kylie listens to Nine Inch Nails
If you think that looks like KISS, you're an idiot
>>78658374
This.
Burly for life son. If you are gonna be fat you better be rhino fat.
>>78658173
Roland was played pretty straightforward. A no-nonsense fixit guy. He came off nothing like Carlton, whose Vanilla Black Guy shtick was played for laughs
>thinking college kids in New York wouldn't be diverse
>>78658374
>man, as a fat kid, I had mixed feelings about fat characters.
>I hated the "I need a snack/I'm so hungry" character trait.
>but I loved the "Power house/Strongest Defense"
Same (always was fat). I hated when there was a fatty in cartoon. It made me uncomfortable because he was a total moron. Like a complete retard who has just one interest - food.
I was a smart kid back then, always interested in biology and despite being fat, visiting all kinds of dangerous place to gather moss or other stuff. How i was happy when there was at least 1 moment when fat character acted smart and interesting.
Literally the only powerhouse i liked was the Blob from X-Men evolution. However he acted really creepy in that first episode yet made me feel.
>>78658308
What would be the point? If she was real, she wouldn't have sex with you.
Kinda the point of being a lesbian. No sex with men
>>78658081
There was an episode where a ghost possessed that guy. It was a perfect disguise for the ghost: until he got up and walked. I remember feeling uneasy about that.
are the ghost buster cartoons even that good? or just normal Saturday morning cheesiness
>>78658400
Nine Inch Nails, the band?
finally someone says it.
I fukken hated Extreme GB, the designs were too MIB that they were virtually indistinguishable. I mean its not *that* bad but it was an awful GB.
>>78658442
Hi, OP. :3
>>78658396
>i dont remember it was explained how he got here.
If they at least had stairs, you could pull a person in a wheelchair up there backwards one step at a time.
Granted it would be a real bitch for multiple flights of stairs. But it can be done in many cases
>>78658349
Gb2 wherever you came from
>>78658435
When JMS was the showrunner it was great. When they fired him and kiddified the show, it became back. His brief return to the series after the ratings tanked made it good again.
>>78658374
>I hated the "I need a snack/I'm so hungry" character trait.
Something tells me that's all the fat character in the new ghostbusters is going to be. Maybe it's the fact that's all the actress' work on SNL is.
>>78658454
>If they at least had stairs, you could pull a person in a wheelchair up there backwards one step at a time.
i think it makes everything impossible when there are semi-giant monsters chasing you in every episode. I understand its a cartoon and Garret is a rolemodel but man this shit is broken.

Extreme Ghostbusters SHOULD by all rights have been a fucking trainwreck, we know. It had all the ingredients. Hell, even as a kid I refused to watch it because it looked lame.
And then it turned out to be pretty fucking good. It's like reverse Korra. Korra had all the ingredients to be cool but then turned out blah, while EG had all the ingredients to be mediocre cashgrab shit and then turned out to be great.
Amusing how that works.
>>78658438
No, Nine Inch Nails, the dry cleaners.
What do you think, Einstein?
>>78658435
>are the ghost buster cartoons even that good? or just normal Saturday morning cheesiness
Both are great. first is more humorous with great animation and different kinds of settings
Second is more adult/creepy with really fucked up monsters. I can take both dicks any time of the day.
>>78658481
>He was an asshole, that's what's great about him.
everybody except black guy was an asshole.
It's late 90s teenagers. We were assholes but by that time we were just regular teenagers.
I understand by nowadays pussies who watch SU and AT its really prawblawmatic but still. All of them are dicks yet its how society looked like back then.
Watch Gingersnaps - this bascially a typical teenager movie of that time ang all girls are Kylie-type
>>78658472
Well, I never said it was the IDEAL practical scenario. I just meant that was one way to do it.
Garrett's gung-ho handicapable shtick was insufferable. I would have had him in his wheelchair off duty, but testing out a light-walking exo-frame designed by Roland during a call
>>78658510
It's notable because they didn't handle him with kid gloves just because he was in a chair.
Also Eduardo wasn't too bad, just lazy and thirsty. Ended up lowering his standards to more realistic levels and hooking up with that nice plain, dumpy girl.
>>78658485
I liked that Slimer was kept to the background. And also that the Janine / Egon relationship finally went somewhere
>>78658485
>Extreme Ghostbusters SHOULD by all rights have been a fucking trainwreck, we know. It had all the ingredients. Hell, even as a kid I refused to watch it because it looked lame.
Same.
I personally refused to watch it because how COOL TEENAGERS WITH GUNS LOOK AT THESE MOTHERFUCKERS it was.
While characters are actually weird and likable and its a really creepy dark cartoon. i dont remember seeing anything like that.
Those colors, that music, those designs.

what's it like being so newfag and stupid? Professor Xavier was in a wheelchair and there was a black character in THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS from 1986 and that wasn't even close to the first black person in a cartoon you dumb fuck.
>>78658649

>>78658062
I'm not sure if OP is trolling.There is nothing wrong with having characters of different races in a cartoon.OP must hate Power Rangers too,since all the seasons had diverse casts.
>>78658742
Or how about Iron Man. Originally he was a cripple without his suit in the animated cartoons dating back to the 1960s. Are you saying Chad McDouchebro from EGB is more of a badass than Iron Man? Now who's the literal retard? Eh Retard?
>>78658384

Garrett was a literal jock in a wheelchair, all OORAH LET'S KICK ASS because he's overcompensating. But I liked him for it
>>78658756
>Iron man
Stop being retarded already.
>>78658744
OP here, in fact I DO hate Power Rangers, it is some campy garbage. But I don't care about characters being diverse, just it being used as the most shameless calculation to come across as hip since Poochie the Dog
>>78658768
>Garrett was a literal jock in a wheelchair, all OORAH LET'S KICK ASS because he's overcompensating
same. But its a good way to overcompensate.
He could just sit here and be depressive but nope he forcing healthy lifestyle and full of energy.
However i always thought that when he will be 30-40 he will be bitter and depressed because it's not school/college anymore, you need to have normal job and family and shit.

>>78658842
Not just race but making one of them handi-capable! I'll bet if they brought it back he'd be a polyamorous, fluid gendered, otherkin too. All just so they can show how kewl their product is brah.
Your narrow mindedness is showing OP. The writer/s are not the ones who made the "corporate focus group calculated attempt to look hip" decision/s. They were, however, given the freedom to work with what they were given and they used it relatively well for the most part.
You seem like the kind of person who instantly judges and hates someone for their genes and appearance without learning the true merit of their experiences and character.
At no point in your straw-man ramblings did you say what you disliked about the show beyond an accusation of "cynical, corporate focus group calculated attempt to look hip" which has nothing to do with the actual quality of the show itself.
Anyway, I enjoyed both The Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters. My favourite episode from the original was The Collect Call of C'thulhu.
>>78658857

ExGB is watchable. Compared to the other shit on at the time, it was great. It holds up pretty decently, too. But I have to admit all that shit OP says does leave a bad taste...The Original Ghostbusters a best
>>78658062
Was Extreme GBs made by the same folks as the MIB series?
>>78658895
please leave CWC
Am I the only one that thinks the cast was diverse not because they wanted to be progressive or whatever, but so the characters wouldn't seem like retreads of the original cast?
It's like the exact opposite of what we're getting now with the reboot.
>>78658649
>I'll bet you masturbated to her while crying into your Skinny Puppy CDs
No and no
>>78658874
I dislike that they put together an unbelievable scenario when grounding ghostbusters in some semblance of reality by using shlubby characters doing dirty work with real science whenever possible. It largely what helps suspend the viewers willing suspense of disbelief. Instead EGB showhorns in trying to use hip sexy teens who use pop culture catchphrases and most importantly there is literally no good reason to bring someone in a wheelchair along with you when you're fighting demions who tend to enjoy inhabiting spires, attics & basements of centuries old buildings without modern wheelchair accessibility.

>CC: As they kind of revamped Ghostbusters, how did it come about to bring a character into it that used a wheelchair?
>BH: It wasn't something that we set out to do when we first said okay, we didn't sit down and go let's develop this show and let's make sure someone uses a wheelchair. What we were doing was spitballing characters and trying to put together a team and what we had decided to do was rather than putting together a team of this kind of typical, perfect X-Men, superhero type of team, what we wanted to do was really put together a team of misfits in a way, people that you would not neccesarily associate with being super hereos on television. And so we ended up with a kind of slacker type and a kind of square, head in the clouds kind of guy and then we put a girl into the team and then we wanted someone who was really an adrenaline junkie someone who could kind of kick start the team and …. But that character really became kind of the most bland in a way where he was definately the one that had all the "cool" attributes he was the one that really lacked any subtext to his character and one of theproducers that we were working with named Jeff Klein just kind of threw out the idea, "well what if we did something with him like we put him in a wheelchair or something. And it really just kind of clicked. It didn't change anything that we had been talking about because this character could still be an adrenaline junkie, he still could be an extreme sports enthusiast, he could still want to play for the Lakers, but it really broadens him as a character and made him a much more interesting and a much more stronger individual than he would have been if he had been someone who was able-bodied and never really had to overcome anything to get everything her had in life so he's one of these guys that takes what he is given and makes the best of it and really lives up to any potential that he has.
>>78658927
>It wasn't forced SJW
Yes it was, it was called political correctness in the 90s, they even had an episode of Star Trek DS9 with a character in a wheelchair and their struggles. In a show that takes place 400 years in the future where they can literally build androids. Alien Resurrection had a wheelchair bound character and that takes place even further in the future but that was written by the king of /co/ Joss Whedon so you probably all love that movie.
>>78658783
>you need to have normal job and family and shit.
But he doesn't, he's a ghostbuster. That's his job.
>>78658968
>still be an adrenaline junkie
because a motorcycle riding grandma was already too cliche by then?
>>78658976

>>78658968
>more stronger
>>78658976
In the 90s political correctness meant appealing to soccer moms and religious fanatics.Extreme Ghostbusters was anti PC at the time,it pissed off soccer moms and religious fanatics because they believed it turned kids into devil worshippers.
>>78658996
so what's Star Trek's excuse?
>>78658988
>CC: When you gave your speech at the awards, you had mentioned something about the focus group studies that you did. Can you go into that again?
>BH: What we wanted to do is once we got back our first episodes, we wanted to test them so that we could make sure that on the later cuz we were doing forty episodes, on the later episodes we could maximize what kids liked about the show. So what we did is we screened it for a group of thirty kids or something like that, girls and boys and different ages and things like that and part of the whole focus group testing is they just kind of watch and they have these little dials and they'll turn them to the right or the left depending on if they like it or not like what's going on. And than after that you kind of have kind of a Q & A session and we just (we don't actually do it, the moderators that are there) ask them questions that we provide to them and it's kind of like "what did you like about the show?", "what did you not like about the show?", "which characters did you like?", "which characters did you not like?", "what was cool?", "what was not cool?", those types of things. And so obviously one of the questions was which characters did you like, which character was your favorite and pretty much across the board, both boys and girls chose Garrett as their favorite character.
>>78659023
>CC: Garrett being the lead character, who is using a wheelchair.
>BH: Correct. And it was surprising because we thought that the girls would identify with the girl character or choose her as their favorite but they didn't. Everyone pretty much chose Garrett and I think it's because he really was the coolest and I think the most identifiable for kids. He was just one of these guys that really had a terrific attitude that I think drew the kids in that were watching to him. I think it's just a very positive type of character and I think that they really liked seeing that. And I think it's one of these things that, he never allows himself to kind of, he doesn't let other people tell him what he can or cannot do because of his disability. He really is one of these people that tries everything and does what he wants to do and I think that is a thing that kids, I think that's how they approach life that they, unless someone tells them that they can't do something, they really think that they can and they really will go all out to do that. So I think that is something they definately related to with the Garrett character is that kind of sense of "I can do this".
>>78658923
So you expect a kid show about people fighting ghost and demons in New York to be realistic ?
>>78658976
>they even had an episode of Star Trek DS9 with a character in a wheelchair and their struggles.
They explained that shit as that character's species being from a low gravity world. So they were unable to walk normally under what we would call 1G. The character wasn't even sick or injured or anything.
>>78659040
>CC: One of the things that you mentioned in your talk, you said they were also asked which one would you want to be?
>BH: Yes, and they chose Garrett.
>CC: And you had mentioned that they wanted that he was the most wanted people, kids wanted to be him but also they had not mentioned the fact that....
>BH: Yes, that's true. When they talked about the character they used his name, which you know you make an impression when kids can remember the names of you character. What they never did was refer to him as "the guy in the wheelchair" where with Kylie they would say "the girl". Or with Roland they would say the black guy or the strong guy. With Garrett they never said the guy in the wheelchair, they always said Garrett. And that really shows that he made an impression on the kids. That he kind of went beyond his characteristics to become a full fledged character in their mind and yeah that was when we asked which character aside from which of these characters would you want to be and they all wanted to be Garrett, they all wanted to be the guy that does the crazy things. They all wanted to be the guy that was the leader and they all kind of saw him as the leader of this group. What we didn't do in the show is designate any leader. In fact if there was a leader it was one of the original ghostbusters who was kind of the, Egon who was the character who was responsible for pulling these four characters together these two ghostbusters. The kids really sought Garrett as the leader of the group.
>Kyle's "the girl"
>Roland's "the black/strong guy"
My sides.
Why is trying to appeal to underrepresented demographics bad again?
>>78658976
>they even had an episode of Star Trek DS9 with a character in a wheelchair and their struggles. In a show that takes place 400 years in the future where they can literally build androids.
While I agree there was no need to have a wheel-chair character in something like Star Trek, I feel the need to correct you somewhat.
One man can build androids, Doctor Noonian Sung. The creation of artificial life was frowned upon in Star Trek by most benevolent races due to the moral implications, this included AI, Androids and Genetic Engineering.
Meeical technology was likewise stymied from moral bullshit. Worf became paralysed from the neck-down in one episode and the first solution was a series of implants across the body which let's him move his body parts with his mind. It was pretty shoddy on a conceptual level even within the show, and Worf said he'd rather die than be some lurching lost-cause. The final solution in the episode, however, was an experimental spinal procedure involving replacing his spine with a synthetic one. This procedure was met with opposition for years due to, again, moral implication bullshit involving the requirements to test it on living test subjects, but they finally got Worf to be the test subject for it since he wanted to commit suicide anyway.
This episode is notable for being the episode people finally got to see Doctor Beverly Crusher get told to fuck off and shove her pretentious "Muh Hippocratic oath!" stuff right up her ass. Even Picard was lecturing people on how they're taking a too-Human approach to a Klingon problem.

Early 90s. This aired during the fall of 97.
>>78659301
In my area it aired too late, I'd only be able to catch like the first 10-15 minutes before the school bus came.
>>78659628
Those focus group kids didn't think so. I didn't really like him either, I preferred Eduardo and Kylie, though being hispanic with goth-inclinations made me biased.
>>78659628
>>Everyone pretty much chose Garrett and I think it's because he really was the coolest

As for me i liked Eduardo. Then Kylie.
also
>progressives
wat. Im gay and i liked Ed because hes kind of hot (always wanted a punk-ish bf). And Kylie was a fun character.
Garret was a dudebro and i didnt cared about wheelchair.
Black guy was boring.

You mean like almost every single cartoon in any generation/decade ever?
Do you think modern cartoons use dubstep because they think it's awesome?
>>78658951
always kind of bugged me that they never really explained why he declared a vendetta against MiB
>>78659074
What he said.
Often progressiveness is purely ego-driven. People usually cast minorities not because of any true sense of justice, but to stroke their own egos over how progressive they are. Also for the praise they get from other like minded twats
>>78659301
>>78658062

I like the series, but come on.
>>78658062
Nobody is saying the Real Ghostbusters wasn't good, but this was a worthy successor.
As for the diversity cast and extreme in the title, it was the late 90s. Every show and their dog had that kind of thing going on.
>>78658062
You didn't even watch the show did you?

You don't?
What's even more hilarious is that EXB is a way better "progressive" reboot of GB as opposed to that shitty feministic reboot.
Just like how the Men In Black cartoon was vastly superior to both of the original's sequels.
I loved it as a kid. The ghosts were so fucking disgusting it was almost like watching a horror movie.
>>78658435
Real is good until slimer takes focus, Extreme is more solid overall.
>>78659060
The problem is when you put appealing to demographics above the quality of the show.
Also, the shit that's done in the name of that often has nothing to do with actual demographics. Black people are a bit under 15 percent of Americans. They're either at parity or overrepresented in every form of media, yet people still think they're underrepresented.
>>78660740
I wonder if anyone has done actual research or analysis of the demographics of characters on TV vs. demographics of the nation.
>>78658756
Ironman had a heart condition you twat, that's nowhere close to a man in a wheel chair.
>>78658783
Ghostbusting is his job.
This is a serious component of the franchise, ghostbusting is just a job, anyone can do it with the training and equipment.
>>78659095
Heavy handed in this context would be designing Garret with the mindset of identity politics and a role model first. Toning down his alpha jock level to avoid making disabled people "look bad". Especially when the team that's and setting that's high on the asshole level.
>>78658923
The cast of EB are a lazy hispanic, a black nerd, an overcompensating jock in a wheel chair and a goth. They aren't sexy. They're college kids doing a job because the original team moved on from ghostbusting. Aesthetics aside they used the same tools and methods.
There's nothing in your complaints that matches any of the show's flaws.
>>78658976
That character was from a low gravity world and her entire deal was something humans who were raised in low gravity environments would have to deal with. Way to not pay attention.
>>78658976
Pretty sure wheel chair guy dies in that movie and a bit of the drama is his friends trying to save him.
>>78659060
Usually done poorly, but in principle? It's fine.
>>78659172
I like the song and I like the Extreme Radical Aesthetic
>>78659409
How exactly is that any different from the original ghostbusters with it's 80s pop theme song, wry humor, attractive characters, cash in toys and kid's show?
>>78658081
That comes up more than once in the series. He had to crawl up endless haunted stairs once.
I feel like people pick on this show only for two reasons.
Handicap guy & the name.

Best cripple
>ghostbusters from the future come to the present
>they meet eduardo & kylee & talk about what legends they are
>"what about me?"
>"We've...we've never heard about you"
This implies either he died in the ghost war because he was a cripple, or he was such a jerk he never became famous.
>>78660806
They have. For movies, TV, magazines, and ads.
The one exception to black representation is AAA blockbuster leads. The "black movie" effect that McDuffee and Priest talked about where a certain level of "blackness" or a black director tends to be budget tyler perry sort of ghettoization, rather than big budget blockbusters.
Hispanics are underrepresented by a little.
Asians are nowhere to be found, except in advertising, where they're mildly over represented, particularly on high end shit. Although the last study was done before the newest wave of hot asian women love interests came into vogue.

Extreme Ghostbusters was good in spite of the 90's mandated diversity, not because of it.

The funny thing is that all of this is 100% true, but it's still an entertaining show.
main problem with the show is horrible animation at many moment. forced romance shit, and many ghost that were more like normal monsters instead of ghosts probably to avoid making kids wonder too much about death and afterlife. I'd say it's mediocre overall.

Tried to watch the original Live Action Ghostbuster films and they're horribly boring. Also Bill Murray was an unfunny douchebag pussy beggar who ditched his friends for pussy.
How this franchise got popular is a mystery.
>>78659738
because it's liking McDonald's just because there isn't a Burger King in your town. The only reason anyone would like it is because it's all they've had
>>78660826
But he couldn't walk without assistance because of it so I don't see how that changes anything
>>78661161
how does that change the fact it's a science fiction show episode dedicated to muh quad struggles?

If said Burger King Kids club dealt with a zombie apocalypse on a daily basis instead of recylcing.
Seriously even Real Ghostbuster dipped into that when they took on Cthulhu.

Nostalgia, Kylie and it could've been much worse
>>78658062
Wished they used a better animation company than...who was it? It was as ugly as that Jumanji cartoon that was running at the time.
>>78658062
Isn't Kylie Asian?
>>78669633
And it was the first time a cartoon legit came close to scaring me. RGB couldn't do it, but EGB with its grotesque ghosts made it much easier.

95 percent of ghosts in the entire Ghostbusters media are more monsters than actual spirits.
I loved the show, but hated the art style as I never liked that dull washed out look that EGB, Godzilla, and MiB had.
>>78658062
It was the 90s bro! Everything was "extreme" from sports (skate/BMX), Pro-Wrestling (ECW), and even music was extreme (perfect 90s example PanterA). Hell even nacho dip was marketed as "extreme".
I loved this show back in 4th grade, go suck on an AIDS infected faggot cock!

Don't forget the kids show EXTREME DINOSAURS!
