Maybe there will be like a line of dialogue about "wasn't there that museum thing too?" A throwaway thing. MAYBE. But I can't wrap my head around the Ecto-1/1A thing. Like, maybe they bought another hearse and upgraded it beyond the first hearse... I've always assumed it was the same car. But why would they but another hearse when they were rich and didn't need to?

I think it’s portrayed that way because it has more to do with the first events. Specifically Gozer.
As for the car they might have just reverted it back to Ecto-1 before whatever caused them to retire. Like I’ve always said...they never explained what any of it was for. Hopefully they will now since it’s being fixed. Like a users manual Egon left for all the modifications. Maybe those extra lights and satellite dish are in the barn

please BE AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS...
people are understandly guarded and upset after the trashfire that was both the last movie, and the fallout if you disliked the last movie. Just look at the idiots on twitter already...

Fun trailer, but it looks more like the Disney Star Wars that we got rather than the Disney Star Wars that we wanted.
I was hoping for a trailer maybe showing Ray's efforts to put things back together, while "the kids" are more of a secondary plot. But this trailer looks like the entire first act of the movie, leaving little to no real room for the original guys. It's only the first trailer, but it's not the "Ghostbusters Return" movie I want to see. A bunch of kids on a farm wreaking havoc with Ghostbusters stuff. This trailer makes it look like the last shot of the movie is going to be the kid from Stranger Things triumphantly telling someone, with his 14 to 17 year old friends standing around "we're the Ghostbusters, man".

I love Paul Rudd's line there hasn't been a ghost sighting in 30 years.
2016 movie fans but our movie THERE HASN"T BEEN A GHOST SIGHTING IN 30 Years

Looks better than the previous film, for sure. I'm hyped.

I like the line about "the 80s were like the Walking Dead." That's good. That implies that there was more than just the 1984 incident (i.e., GB2).
Whoa... I just realized that mine has a sign that says "SHANDOR MINING COMPANY." As in... Ivo Shandor, the guy who freaking made the Cult of Gozer and built that building to bring in Gozer!

I mean, this is what happens when you wait too long. Everybody's too old and fat to do anything relevant and one of the franchise creators is dead. Can this be a decent movie? Sure. But can it ever possibly be as satisfying as a "real" Ghostbusters 3 could have been if they did it 15 years ago? No chance. AND, related to everything you pointed out, it could also be corny as hell, we don't know yet. We'll see. It would have to literally give a person herpes in order to be as bad as the last sh*tpile, though, so at least we probably don't have to worry TOO much.

Yeah, that jumped out at me too. I wonder if Shandor will play a role similar to the video game.

Trailer is great. To me it’s Ghostbusters 3 no matter what. Ya it should have been made a long time ago but who’s to say what kind of storyline qualifies as a sequel? It’s a proper continuation.
Anyway I’m glad it’s not set in New York. At least not entirely. I’ve always said the supernatural can be anywhere and choosing a different place opens it up. Having a new team, regardless of relationship, is clearly what’s needed to continue. If 1 or 2 of the original members sticks around beyond this movie as mentors or something that’s cool but we needed new people. I love the Ecto-1 gunner seat. I’m glad the car actually does something useful now. Still hope they explain the roof. It’s kinda funny, did it always have an unused gunner seat? Maybe Egon added it after GB2. Couple of minor criticisms I have. They’re going with Gozer again I guess. That’s fine but there’s a lot of evil entities/monsters you could come with. As long as we get some variety of ghosts and enemies I’ll be satisfied. Also I’ve always wanted to see the equipment more modernized since so much time has passed but it’s obviously going to remain unchanged. It’s about them finding everything post retirement so I understand. It fits. Any major updates are more suitable for a part 4. I hope we get something new though. Like an unused invention Egon was working on. The one thing I hope gets a proper explanation is why they needed to retire a second time. To me they should have stayed in business. Possibly with other locations opening up in different cities. That’s always been my preferred direction.

It had to be shortly after GB1 but before GB2. They weren't rocking the Ecto-1 by GB2, they were rocking the Ecto-1A... which now we know is an all different vehicle, not an upgrade.

If supernatural activity stopped it makes sense. I just thought there would still be your typical hauntings that they’d take care off.
The thing about the car, ya I guess it would be between both 1 and 2 but I thought of something. Why would they have bought another one? They had different jobs at the start of GB2 so why spend more money? Plus finding the same model is kind of far fetched. It was old to begin with. Neither car was very different anyway. The extras were just cosmetic as far as anyone is concerned because they never establish what it’s for. I can buy there being 2 cars (and maybe Ray kept the 1A) but it seems really impractical. I still think it makes more sense they just reverted it back because they didn’t need the extra “baggage”.

I have not read the idw comics.
I don’t think you would need to register that kind of license plate. Wasn’t just the name? Like a novelty plate. I never thought about it. The car is still working at the beginning at the birthday party. It makes no sense to spend money on an entirely separate, but identical car just because they were rehired as ghostbusters shortly after. This has to be the same car. If they reveal there’s 2 separate ones that’s gonna be hilarious. I guess you could say 1A was wrecked so they went back to Ecto-1 but from their own personal standpoint it makes no sense to buy 2.

Who knows. Maybe the Ecto-1 had something wrong with it. Or maybe Egon pulled it aside/mothballed it and made it his pet project while the "main" car was replaced with a fresh model (Ecto-1A) for their reopening in GB2.

I think it's great how you put a thousand times more thought into this stuff than the "professionals" do, buddy.

The Ectomobile was supposed to be an entirely different vehicle in GB2. A converted stretch Checker cab, a converted limo, Lincoln Town Car... there were all sorts of crazy ideas being tossed around. One was a geared-out trailer towed behind Ecto 1, built from the rear of another 59 Caddy.
As for the 1/1A in Afterlife, I hope it's lightly explained. Some caution striping would have gone a long way. I really hope it's something other than "focus groups said it would be more nostalgic to use the 1984 Ecto" and distancing themselves from GB2. The German version of the trailer has another scene-- the Ecto Goggles were upgraded at some point around the 80s or 90s. The PKE is also slightly different. I'm sure well see new gear. |
