I find it interesting how quiet coverage of this movie has been, even before all the strikes.

*IMJ* · 11-08-2023, 11:37 AM

Wow! Awesome!

*Wildcat* · 11-08-2023, 11:42 AM

Looks fantastic. People saying it comes off like an episode of the cartoon. The equipment definitely looks inspired by the RGB designs which is cool.

They’re not criticizing it...yet. I know 2 specific users on other boards who just hate on Afterlife.

They’ve been quiet to build up hype. It worked too because not knowing anything was so frustrating. Trailer should have come out on Halloween.

*Zulithe* · 11-08-2023, 12:57 PM

Content with the trailer. Last one was pretty good, have some problems with it but it's whatever. This one looks a little more on track. I'll probably go see it.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 11-08-2023, 02:55 PM

Ok that trailer is sick! I can’t wait

Interesting that mass numbers of people seem to be being murdered by the ghost threat here. That's new. In 1 and 2 they just seemed like a nuisance to people..

Maybe everyone will magically "thaw out" at the end and be okay. That seems more like a Ghostbusters trope than "icy death".

No way whole swaths of people don't get spiked/impaled by all those spikes, right off the bat.

*Wildcat* · 11-08-2023, 04:22 PM

Probably off camera. No way they’d show people getting killed by spikes. Maybe shattered into ice like with Sub-Zero from MK. That one part of the guy frozen in place looks like flashback.

Of course. And bloodlessly, of course.

The series' first flashback? idk. But the guy on the left in the same shot looks like some kind of cowboy or something.

I notice we still only have the names of some of the new characters, but not others. There is still a chance that, for example, James Acaster's character could be Oscar. His age is perfect.

*IMJ* · 11-09-2023, 10:08 AM

They have to have Oscar in it.....

*Autbot_Benz* · 11-09-2023, 07:27 PM

*Andrew NDB* · 11-09-2023, 07:40 PM

Maybe that is kind of where Ernie Hudson's "it isn't what I would have done" is coming from. An extended episode of TRGB? I loved the cartoon as a kid and perhaps an idea or two could be harvested, but... hmf, not as the overall vision.

I think the general idea is to use this movie to bring back the Ghostbusters in the public eye in a big way. Afterlife was just an isolated incident so as far as the public is aware, the 80s were the last time there was any ghost stuff. From here they can grow things, now with big money when they save the day.

I'm holding out hope for a movie subplot between adult Oscar and Venkman.

*Wildcat* · 11-09-2023, 09:41 PM

The cartoon inspiration could be what he was talking about. I don’t see the problem though. I mean what exactly makes one storyline more cartoonish than the other? There’s already been cute marshmallows and pink mood slime as major elements.

The new trailer definitely seems inspired by the cartoon but how does that lessen the legitimacy of being a Ghostbusters movie?

Wasn’t he upset he was not chosen to voice Winston in the cartoon even though he wanted to? I thought he might be talking about whatever the secret lab stuff is about.

*The Deadman* · 11-09-2023, 09:50 PM

I just hope the villain isnt Gozer again...

Wouldn't you be? It's one thing if the actor doesn't want to do it. It's another if they do.

Ya I meant he wanted to do the cartoon so I doubt this would be what he was talking about...not going in that direction.

The early years of the cartoon was always better than the movies. I see nothing wrong with imitating it. Just imitate it well.
