Ghostbusters (2016 film)/YMMV

Revision as of 12:59, 1 September 2016 by Looney Toons (talk | contribs) (copyedit)


  • Broken Base: The reboot has inspired one by its very existence. Fans of the original who hate the reboot have disowned the reboot as a stain on the series legacy, while fans of the reboot think it was better than the original and disown it.
    • And then there are the people who think of them as two different but good movies that share a common legacy, who are hated equally by both.
  • Fan Dumb: The extreme wing of Purists and King Customers who have been so infuriated by the reboot's Gender Flip that they have actively attacked and tried to destroy the careers of the performers simply for having been in the film. Taken Up to Eleven by the racist subset, who have hacked Leslie Jones' website and Twitter feed and posted nude photos of her in a pathetic attempt to humiliate and "punish" her.
  • Hype Aversion: A lot of people who hated the movie felt that way simply because they were utterly put off by the apparent Straw Feminist promotion done before it was even out, and were further disinclined to care because the director himself dismissed potential critics as He-Man Woman Haters.
  • Never Trust a Trailer: The initial teaser trailers (accidentally?) suggested that this film was a Sequel to the original Ghostbusters movies instead of a Continuity Reboot.
