Think about this, OP.

Its going to make millions
Get praised by all the "top" critics
Probably produce a sequel
Claim to be better than the original
And we'll start to see more reboots with women

Reasons why I want it to fail.
1: Feigi
2: Who the actresses are
3: Why the cast is women
...

Seriously, the only reason they made this movie is for a feminist boner. Some things you just dont touch after they've ended. Its like covering Stairway to Heaven: You could do it, but fuck you if you do.

Why do SJWs want hollywood to make all these movies where white men are replaced with women or PoCs. It doesn't really prove the capability or appeal of those demographics, instead it just shows that they can succeed in an already popular franchise made by white men, which is obligatory, because franchise films always succeed. Why cant they make an original female action/comedy franchise, or, instead of just making james bond a women, how about the women get there own spy, who can prove there capability not based on every white man before them.

Hollywood execs know exactly how to play the brain dead liberal SJW crowd and get them all worked up.

wasn't it just a decade ago these SJWs and Feminists were fighting AGAINST corporate greed and hollywood CEOs?

Now liberals are being used by Hollywood to pan their shitty movies... and the liberals have no self awareness that they're being used.

I think the hippies of the boomer generation would be mortally terrified by how liberals went from being against big $$$ and greed to basically selling out to corporations.. via the "nerd" movement.

Disney is raking billions from this herd mentality.

They explicitly despise their main demographic (nerds) and the nerds hate them in return. Their preferred demographic (women in their 20's) don't give a shit about ghostbusters. They probably won't make much from toys either, as little boys don't like playing with girl dolls, and little girls don't like the ghostbusters, and this SNL-tier cum-joke laden movie isn't likely to convert them.

Even 2nd world plebs like the chinese aren't likely to cotton to it, even if the movie was decent - comedies don't translate well. It's not like Transformers with lots of action and special effects to hold their attention. It relies on nostalgia for a movie they haven't seen, starring 3 white women and a black one too (remember how they phtosohopped out boyega out of the star wars posters)

Their tactic of calling all critics mysoginist was cute, and will inflate their review score, but it won't save them at the box office. They'll break even at best. No sequel.

The Nerd guy made a pretty good case of how it shits over the legacy of Ghostbusters, regardless of how it turns out. So yeah I guess it'd be best if it flopped, so something like that doesn't happen again.

It's just those cucks, but also the normies who will say 'sure!' when their gf asks them if they want to see it. The types would rather just say yes even though they think it looks fucking shit.

That's where most of the sales will come from.

>tfw still haven't seen Jurassic World, Terminator: Genisys, Robocop or TFA

I don't bother with soft reboots or franchise renewals. I find it difficult to muster any enthusiasm to see them. So I don't want Ghostbusters to flop but I also don't care if it does. Even if it does do badly one flop will not be enough to stem the tide of remakes/reboots so it wont mean anything
>>
>>70617701
>>tfw still haven't seen Jurassic World, Terminator: Genisys, Robocop or TFA

Same here besides TFA which took me a very long time to finally watch out of a sense of duty. It was a bit enjoyable but pretty shit for a star wars film just as I suspected.

Remakes and reboots are pure shit 99% of the time.
>>
If it gets over 30% on RT, I'll stop using it forever.
>>
>>70617972
the thing is remakes are usually only good if they take a movie which had some good ideas but was flawed and try again to make it better like say The Thing or The Fly. When you try to make something that was already perfect in people's perspectives that's when they tend to hate it because it simply cannot compare.
>>
>>70618066
It's not RT's fault, it's shill mainstream movie critics who are too gutless to call this movie out on being shit and labeled a witch d'I mean a misogynist, so they just bandwagon.

Jurassic World wasn't BAD, but it was efficient.

Robocop remake was meh but could have been far worse. Only issue was it did not have the satirical charm of the first.
