I don't think all of the backlash is sexist. Some of it is just nostalgia. But I do think some of it is.

[(Anonymous)]

How many MRAs do you think are in the world? And do you think there are more of those than feminists who would just see this movie to support the women?

I agree. Most of the time I'm cool believing people when they say they don't like a change because of nostalgia. I personally don't like change and it takes me a while to get used to changing a character or universe. Some of the changes I can get over and some I don't; I can understand that.

But the intensity of hate on this movie is just over-the-top to me. I mean, I wasn't around when the first Ghostbusters came out but when you talk nostalgia on the level of Star Wars, I never hear about Ghostbusters. There's always some backlash for a beloved property but I can't believe that THIS is the one that is so loved it's getting this kind of reaction. And, to me, it's getting it worse than Star Wars (which is why the comparison). It doesn't feel legitimate.

I also feel weirdly defensive about it, and I would like to go to the theater to support it except that theaters are painful for me. I'm definitely buying it on dvd when it comes out. I hope it does well despite the haters.

tbh when the trailer of this came on before bvs, a lot of people seemed interested and people laughed at the jokes. although online ive seen a lot of sexist remarks so idk

[(Anonymous)]

..."Manly Man" Ghostbusters?

[morieris]

High five for supporting movies out of spite. I'm doing that too. Plenty of things that have terrible trailers might end up better.

Honestly, it kind of baffles me how deeply attached so many people are to the original

[(Anonymous)]

The whole thing looks like a feminist PSA. I thought the original was dumb, so why would I want to go see the social justice version?

[(Anonymous)]

Well, I am not enjoying the racism in the trailer (the black character is so stereotyped it is sad). But hey, they got vaginas so A+.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think the backlash is all sexism, but I think that feeds a great deal of the most toxic backlash... and yes, I've seen those types of comments as well. It's a complicated issue but my theory is that while people would already have a kneejerk reaction to remaking a cult classic, the all-female team is pouring kerosene on a campfire.

It won't bomb.

[chardmonster]

And here's why: it's really easy to forget how fucking powerless the MRAs actually are. I'm not talking about sexism in general; just this particularly basement-y version of it.

You know why they get so fucking angry in comment sections, Reddit, 4chan, etc? Because it's literally the only place anyone will listen to them. Imagine the people angry they get persecuted by "SJWs" for being so sexist. Think about how much sexism people get away with. Okay: imagine the people so brutally stupid and obnoxious that being called sexist is actually a concern for them in a world where you really have to take a gigantic leap over the line to be scolded in person.

They're morons. They're going to whine and scream about Ghostbusters like they whined and screamed about Mad Max and most of the world is going to ignore them.

[(Anonymous)]

I was a Ghostbusters fan when the original came out. I LOVE GHOSTBUSTERS.

Honestly, a movie with replacement DUDES seems unnecessary and a nostalgia-killer, but with women, it's different and it looks funny. I'll see it in the theater on opening weekend.

And because of the basement dwelling sockfucker MRAs, I hope it does well. Normally I dislike remakes and give them a pass, but I'll go and see this. Good, talented cast.

[(Anonymous)]

I have a feeling this movie is going to sweep the Razzies, but knowing them, they'll award it to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice instead, in which is a movie that doesn't deserve all the critical backlash.

[(Anonymous)]

Look. I know you don't want to hear this, but since Ghostbusters was a part of my cherished teen years, the last thing I wanted to see was a remake. It was a product of its time and should be embraced for what it is.

If someone had pitched and sold an all female cast movie about ghost hunters, that would have been great. But resurrecting yet another franchise because it's easier than coming up with something new or fresh made this film a Don't Bother from the get go.

[(Anonymous)]

I really don't think the haters have the ability to make this movie bomb. If it's well enough made to at least be fun to watch, it will do well.

[51stcenturyfox]

I was meh about yet another remake, but the trailer sold me.

Neckbeards can suck it. I'll enjoy this movie.

Also, The Heat was funnier than Lethal Weapon. I guess I should have made that a secret.

[kaijinscendre]

I think they are just taking a terrible approach to this movie. Why on earth is it a reboot? That is so stupid on so many levels. Not only does it annoy fans of the original, it restricts what can be done.

Instead of a reboot they should have framed this as a modern day Ghostbusters group that is part of the Ghostbuster Company. So many opportunities if they had done that.

1) Cameos from the original actors that would make sense (they could be the people that train new branches of the Ghostbusters Company).
2) If this cast is a dud, the next movie can be a different cast in a different city (or you could do that anyways
3) Different CITIES! Imagine a Ghostbusters in Florida with weird Florida ghosts. Or a Ghostbusters set in London or Tokyo or Moscow.
4) Modern day tools. The first movie was in the 80s, I am sure the equipment would have gotten better in three decades.

Good for you. I am also supporting it. It may well be terrible, but it's a worthy effort and it should be rewarded. Plus it's like the problem with "Girls" even if it's shit, it's all we have got. We need to support it so we get more stuff and have more to choose from, so we don't get stuck with this utter shit.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm surprised most of the comments here are actually decent. Just a few weeks ago, most of F!S seemed to be on the "rawh I hate this new SJW feminist pandering propaganda!! ranwrahwrwha!!" train.

Anyways, I mostly agree with you. Also, a lot of people forget that there's been a lot of good movies in the past that have had utterly awful trailers. Inside Out had a pretty mediocre trailer, and yet it has like a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. So anything is possible really. \_(ツ)_/¯

[(Anonymous)]

I am a feminist and I have no desire to see this reboot! I grew up with the original and think it's just fine. This reboot is gonna bomb.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think it'll do that bad in the box office. Reddit doesn't make up the general public. And the general public loves a comedy and brand recognition.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a woman, am all for women in awesome roles, and I wish they would not have gone through with this movie. I can't speak for anyone else, but for me, it has nothing to do with sexism. The original cast brought a certain magic to the story that can't be recreated by any remakes, no matter how incredibly talented the actors/actresses.

Plus, I'm getting sick of all of my childhood favorites being bent over a table and assraped with a rusty nail-studded dildo. TMNT, Karate Kid, Jem, Smurfs... But that's another rant altogether.

[(Anonymous)]

IA, OP, the backlash to this film has been waaaayyyy over-the-top and very ugly. I just don't think people should judge something before it's even out yet.

If it's bad, the reason isn't "representation" or "too much SJW", it's because Hollywood keeps making bloody remakes.

[(Anonymous)]

I think i agree with you? your secret is kind of tldr and ugly colours but the bits i skimmed i agreed
