Groannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. This will be just a stellar movie *face palm*. It conceptually fails even before it’s release for a number of concrete reasons.
1-Whatever will they do when Ecto-3 gets a flat tire on the way to a call?
2-In a way, it’s brilliant: they won’t need to use nuclear energy. The mere sound of their grating voices and complaints will be enough to chase ghosts away. Already less action.
3-High Heels and other assorted useless regalia are just really not conducive to running.
4-Finances. The Ghostbusters already have pretty significant financial issues due to non-believers. How in hell will they be able to blame men for their financial disaster? I suppose they can always blame patriarchal misogynistic ghosts who refuse to be captured willingly by a group of women. Not to mention, how in hell will they be able to feed #2 and #4 in the above pictures? That trough alone will bankrupt their doomed, other-worldy team of STEM grads.
5-Ghostbusting gear is damn hard to get in and out of. However will they get out of those ole coveralls to pee every 10 minutes? I guess there’s always Depends.
6-They have to drive to get to where they are going. Enough said.
7-You have to use logic and have a brain in this line of work.
8-You can’t blow a ghost to get what you want.
9-Bill Murray is a god.
10-Ghosts and slime are generally icky. Enough said.
11-They will need their own personal Starbucks approximately 40 ft from the old fire station (if that’s the venue they are still using). Starbucks isn’t going to open up a new location just for their 4 asses. Mind you……..
12-Ghosts can smell fear. The smell of cheese on taco will be a giveaway before they even get near the haunted premises.
13-I don;t think their HMO is going to provide counselling, therapy and vast quantities of Clonazepam for these 4 fillies every fifteen minutes. Not in their line of work.
14-You have to have an attention span that last more seconds than the numerical size of your feet.
15-Uh….bravery.
16-Uh…..risk.
17-Double Uh………there’s going to be some form of accountability for running around with a small nuclear generator on one’s back.
18-It’s a motherf******* trying to operate a Proton Pack and use a Selfie Stick at the same time. I guess since they are so good at multi-tasking, it should actually only take three whole seconds to annihilate themselves, rather than two.
19-It counts as substantial employment; I’m pretty sure the alimony will dry up quickly, even by the court’s standard.
20-Four women working closely together for an extended, involved period of time. ssssssssssssscratch yourrrr eyessss out.
21-Agendas. In the first five minutes of the film, they will be Ghostbusters. This will certainly evolve into the Man-Dog-Misogynyst-Weight-Carbohydrate Busters by scene 2. Investors will flee. Either that, or they’ll receive a substantial government grant to talk about it for another six years before leaving the board room table at 4pm for Mimosas.
22-They’ll more than likely have to climb stairs. More than three of them. At a time.
23-Ghosts like to scare the sh** out of people, not something with the intelligence of an Amoeba.
24.They actually have to pack up Ecto-3. By the time they’ve managed to f~~~ing pull that off, the ghost will be long gone.
25-There are very few opportunities to pat yourself on the back, when most of it is taken up with a Positron Pack.
26-Sometimes it’s cold outside.
27-Pregnancy leave isn’t an option. Even if it becomes a viable opportunity, one will see the other doing it, do it at the same time, and leave no one at the helm to function as an actual business.
28-There are so few free grants for the pursuit of Parapsychology. They might have to use some of their own money. Unless they are divorced; in this scenario, they’re probably covered.
29-Randomly shooting at men with those nuclear puppies will, at some point, after probably 20 years, have at least SOME form of legal repercussions. See accountability.
30-The most obvious of all. You actually have to be funny.
