I know Aykroyd always had a ton of creative input as well over the years, but have you actually seen his original unfiltered ideas for the first movie? Just awful. I lay a ton of what Ghostbusters ultimately became on Ramis, and to a lesser extent Reitman, filtering out Dan's goofball and completely impossible ideas and turning them into something workable.

To imply that losing Ramis was some kind of minor speed bump and that this one is "just as good" as a real Ghostbusters 3 is pretty nuts.

I feel bad that Harold Ramis was not able to be part of this. I really do. Even seeing the aged toys seem weird without him.

Still even if he were alive or this was made a long time ago we don’t know how much focus they would have gotten. Every previous idea talks about a new team and passing the torch.

If it was not for Bill Murray maybe Peter would have been written out and we still would only get 3 returning. We just don’t know.

I understand Ramis was a big part of but they’re not just loosely connected to the old ones. In my opinion I think he would approve of it. Not to have one die but the general idea of family reviving their business.
