I didn’t think 2016 Ghostbusters was a bad movie at all, but it definitely got bogged down by some bad executive decisions, including the fact that the guy who designed the ghosts kept coming up with amazing designs like these that kept getting shot down.
It seems like, despite all prior Ghostbusters material, his higher-ups really didn’t “get” the idea of ghosts looking stranger than regular dead people or the “classical demon” they insisted upon for one scene, even saying no to giving it finger teeth!
Someone let me re-reboot this franchise 😦
At least the 2016 team has had further life in the comic series and fought some cooler stuff.
