Its why the ghostbusters remake pissed me off so much. Oh they’re women so they must be neurotic, mocked and struggle. On all levels. More than the original all male cast. Because feminism or some shit. We can’t just have them be confident, competent and achieve. Piss.
For someone who grew up on Ripleys it makes me want to start skinning writers. Thank god Afterlife came out
lol, I feel the exact opposite and I grew up watching the old movies and tv show. Ghostbusters and TMNT were my childhood loves and still are my adult loves.
Answer the Call was funny, goofy, and kept the spirit of the original. The women may have been neurotic, but they were also strong, competent, and said fuck it to everyone who kept putting them down. I watch it as often as I watch GB1. It’s a great watch for the gym, it pumps me up and makes me laugh.
Afterlife and Frozen Throne were just nostalgia baited, coming of age, cash grabs that were nothing like the originals. After how ATC was dragged down by misogynists, I was very excited for Afterlife, I wanted to love it. I bought it immediately when it was available on iTunes and watched it immediately. The first thing I said when the credits rolled was “What the fuck was that trash?” because it was more like a teenage Goosebumps “horror” than an actual Ghostbusters movie. I hated it so much, I have zero desire to watch Frozen Throne.
one of the reasons people often repeat for Alien having such good women characters is all of the characters were written as gender neutral, with the gender of the character determined by casting. im not sure if its true or not, but its interesting to think that the best women characters are just written as people rather than caricatures of womanhood.
