Exactly, that's why he was looking for the PKE, not to find out if ghosts were there but to prepare to taz one.

Umm... Why exactly couldn't a demon possess a dead body? I mean, wouldn't having to force yourself inside of an inhabited body by harder than getting inside an empty one?

Hold on, it was fricking off camera, how tf did you know?

@@Mr.Fulton I think the whole generally accepted mythology around possession is that the soul has to be present within a living human in order for a demon to possess them. In this case, once Egon was dead, there was no way for Vinz Clortho to possess him because, as is with generally accepted possession mythology, the soul leaves the body immediately following death. I love, love, LOVE this movie. I know it has some flaws, but this movie makes me so happy every time I watch it. So I'm definitely biased when it comes to defending it. Have a good evening!

@@StealTheSun1985 It's generally seen as harder for a demon to inhabit a living human than an animal or inanimate object.

It was so awesome too!

I mean Slimer and Stay-Puft also are 'good' in The Real Ghostbusters series. It's not even close to unheard of to that fandom. Haven't seen the movie yet (I'm categorized as high risk, so I didn't feel like taking a risk due to the obvious), but even I saw the inclusion of Egon as a ghost to be a fitting send off of a beloved character that left us too soon.

My question is why wasn’t Egon sucked into the traps along with oh, I don’t know, EVERY SINGLE GHOST WITHIN A FIFTY MILE RADIUS?

Ghost Egon was done perfectly, and it was the best way to honor and include the character.

@@ThePzwilson Agreed. The fact that he never spoke was perfect. I legit teared up.

"Ray... when someone asks if you're a god, you say *YES!* "

or Egon was there the whole time and learned some shit while being dead,like possession and manipulation. as in he helped control the wand like he did at the end so she didn't kill anyone and possess her brother lightly and manipulated him to fix the car.

I live near where it was filmed. That's pretty close.

It was always going to be a throwback to the original that's all they do now

@@als3022 I had more fun at that movie than I did at this one. At least I laughed at that film. Name me one joke in Ghostbusters afterlife that was even noteworthy. This never once in the whole movie felt like a Ghostbusters movie. To be honest it felt bland. Now if I had been going to see a science-fiction movie in general, then I would’ve enjoyed this substantially. But I came to see a Ghostbusters film and what I got was Stranger Things that just happened to have Ghostbusters in it. And I love Stranger Things, but that isn’t what I signed up for.

But besides all that the movie lacked logic and sense and also the writing was lazy.

A well-worded sin of a sin. 😂

Thank you. That sin was dumb. Also, they ignored when Trevor is shown working on the station wagon on their way to the place, soooooo, that, with the car video, he's a car guy, you dips**ts. This video pissed me off with the lack of thought. I think they honestly just skim the movies and write shit down. Unbelievably stupid.

Yeah, Trevor’s a gear head that’s literally the first thing we learn about him

also if you look carefully the engine is repaired by egons ghost before the car starts.

Ghost car

@@MatchstickMan Pretty sure they made a video a long while ago sinning themselves and one of them was them doing this exact same thing, they just skim movies and then throw out a bunch of random 'sins' for shits and giggles and make a video out of it.

That scene actually choked me up. I did shed tears!😢

Absolutely agree

Make that 20 sins.

I won't lie when I saw ghost Egon I actually cried a tear came down my face 😭. I loved it so much may you rest in peace Harold Ramis

Nah, without Ramis's say-so, it’s so v wrong. Plus he’s a ghost…er…shouldn’t he be 'busted?!?

I don't know that i would use the term supercharged, but it has definitely been modifedikely for this specific purpose and Egon knowong he would have to go at it alone. Funny, while this is so obvious i a tually hadn't considered this as the reason that Phoebe's pack can stand up to Gozer when the guys' couldn't. I am still really off put by how they utilozed crossing the streams....... thats not how that works.

Hell originally there was going to be a visual hint, if you look at earlier trailers the proton streams were purple and red instead of the original colour

@@mrcritical6751 this intrigues me. Any pointers on where to find such an example?

@@NotThatGuy_YepThatGuy go to the first proper trailer from 2020, the proton stream is a different colour

Yep. If Egon hadn't led her to it, it might have failed randomly whenever and under the floorboards.

She's the worst part of this whole damn movie. When you have zero charisma, or personality thats referred to as bad acting.

@@Elemental_Entity dude Mckenna Grace its one of the most successful child and teenagers actresses today, she is an excellent actress, watch her on the many horror movies she has done over the years and the Hill House Tv show on Netflix, she is just amazing and she had a lot of charisma, anyone on Hollywood can tell you that

@@gabrielangulo4764 She is by far not one of the most successful, although I do think she's a decent actress, just bad in this movie. Her performance in this movie was flat and poor, probably because of the director who got hired because of nepotism and not actual talent, considering the movies Jason has made prior have been flops costing millions of dollars, being the original directors son did not qualify him to make this movie and it shows without poorly the characters are handled. Valid criticism.

@@Elemental_Entity if you compare with other child actresses of her generation, she is one of the most famous and talented, just ask anyone in Hollywood business. Dude, Jason Reitman has directed some movie hits like: Juno, Thank You for Smoking and Up on the Aire, all very well famous and with a fresh critic by the experts, he pitch the project to Sony executives, as a love letter to Ghostbusters Fans and to his own father.

Hollywood can never seem to get it right. Either they stray too far from the source material and we end up with what we had in 2016, or they stick religiously to the source material and create a fan-fiction movie. 😓

@@kennethguthrie180 nah I think they got this as right as is possible. The originals can’t be touched. They where made at a point in time that can’t be replicated. This is as close as it gets and was respectful of what the franchise meant to people. When they movie came out I was 7. And I remember going to the cinema and seeing it. I was in deep with ghost busters. I had everything and I mean everything. It was my life as a child. I really enjoyed how they made this one and feel it was definitely respectful to what it used to be

@@gump5ter01, I was 8, I agree. Hence why I say this movie is a little too “pandering to the fans”. Jeremy himself noted when they introduced things from the first movie that didn’t really make too much sense other than causing us Gen-Xer nerds to squee in delight. Just for example, the Michelin Man scene in the Walmart. That scene was completely unnecessary and didn’t make particularly too much sense. It would have been better to cut that scene out completely and just leave that dusty Michelin Man road sign as an Easter egg.

@@gump5ter01, it’s as “cringey” and forced as The Terminator sequels, when Arnold says something along the lines of “I’ll be back.” It sounds so forced that it sucks.

No! This scene will haunt you for the rest of your life. Like a GHOST!

Maybe because Podcast dropped the controls and it landed front first, and that due to the Ecto-1 going into the fish tail, the gravitational force that typically occurs when you apply brakes rapidly to a vehicle, ended up causing the remote to slide, applying weight to the controls onto the stick used to control left and right movement and that caused the RC car to slide as well.

Maybe because it was programmed to do that?

Egon wasn't always perfect he had failures. I mean he had to guess about a lot of the stuff that was going to happen in the first place.

You also gotta consider limited resources to his plan. All he had was what the town offered and what he took from the firehouse. There might have been a failsafe idea, but due to the lack of resources and loss of sanity after living alone for so long, he must have just said "screw it" and went along with the plan without taking the right precautions or tests, which considering the 1st film and the game egon has been known to not test his equipment in the first place. It matches his character fairly well, his 1 flaw was inevitably his downfall.

;=; great film

Facts

I thought it was gonna suck (like most reboots do) but I was happily surprised when I watched it! Gave the the same feeling as an adult as the first Ghostbusters did when I was a kid.

@@sneaksquid same here. It was a nice trip down memory lane. As for "reboots", that "other" Ghostbusters movie should be forgotten and expunged from all records and memory.

I know it's Cinema Sins' job to poke holes in movies, but he's WAY to hard on this one. I just watched it again today because my buddy hadn't seen it, and I STILL loved it!

my fav ghostbusters

Not just a body though, apparently he went hard and studied Harolds performances as Egon to get the movements as close as possible. He knew what they were going for and wanted to make the "Goodbye letter" as good as possible. The man is a wonderful artist.

@@wanderingacres9528 Must be a generational thing. I just can't keep up with you young whippersnappers anymore.

Seeing how hard egon fought before his death, and seeing all of the steps he took got me. I loved his interaction with his daughter, showing that he was keeping his eyes on her. It was very sweet. Fuck it I'm gonna watch it tonight

I don't love this movie, but it's definitely a step up from the one we shall not name. It really proved that writers really do listen to their audience.

Same here

Completely agree!

insulting a dead man is a good send off?

Didn't he retire from acting?

Unfortunately, Moranis turned down the role

After his wife died.. he doesnt really do movies no more 😪

He was still recuperating from being attacked in New York so I doubt he would appear even if he wanted to.

Da hast du Recht

You could probably show him the giant fucking demonic video wall relief too, if he needed a bit more evidence... Odd that the whole world knew who the GB's were, but nobody thought a demon mine was interesting enough to check out?

I agree but at the same time some of thoses sins were ignoring the story to some extinct. Such as the gate being closed assuming Egon went in that way.

@@Milner62 Agreed. along with 'why egon?' Given to an extent the movie reflected Harold Rami's and dan Akroyd's falling out (and later reconciliation before ramis's passing) that's a core component to the movie so in a way it HAD to be egon.

The only big problem with it for me was bringing back the dogs. Fix that and the movie is a masterpiece.

@@singletona082 actually that Bill and Harold.

To me, the fact that they were even using them at all, was one of the few sins to me. Because in Ghostbusters 2, Egon tells Bobby Brown's character( I can't remember if Brown was playing a character or playing himself) after he asks if he can get one of the proton packs for a nephew or cousin or a young relative, that the proton packs that the Ghostbusters use aren't toys. I feel like kids using proton packs is essentially like kids using guns because the proton packs are weapons and they're extremely dangerous weapons. But the movie gets away with it and it's cute and adorable with having little kids using proton packs in the context of a fictional science-fiction/ fantasy movie because proton packs aren't real.

Or he didnt go through thoses gates since the truck was a shandor mining co. Truck

@@Milner62 could be .

Doesn't explain sh*t. And no one cared much about where Dana got that dress from, or at most, you would think she already had it in her apartment. This other scene was ridiculous and came out of the blue, just as pretty much everything else that happens in the movie...

Yeah but that’s why he said it was problematic, because you had to 1: cgi his performance, 2: have no speaking lines for him unless you used archive dialogue, and 3: you’re now selling merch centered around his death and therefore profiting off of it.

@@jon83chewy Important things to note about Harold before his death and after. Yes, he wanted to make and be in the 3rd film before he died. Before putting him in the movie, Jason Reitman contacted his family and asked for permission to add him in to which they said yes because it was fulfilling what Harold would have wanted. As for your 3 points, the CGI was extremely good, Reitman and the CG team managed to get across all of the emotion needed for his scenes and 3 we don't know what kind of contract they have to make the toys in his likeness but I imagine his family is still getting well paid for it and really if you have got a family of your own you know you'd do anything to keep providing for them even when you're gone.

@@NuminorTheFool some of the best CGI/actor portrayal I’ve ever seen in a movie. Same team that did Sean Young in Blade Runner did this as well. Him not speaking was an excellent decision, made it all the better.

@@NuminorTheFool yeah Im sure without everyone’s approval it wouldn’t have been done, but even inside the movie they’re making note that they know this isn’t done with just nostalgia and respect in mind. Plus, it’s a different story, but imagine if Marvel got permission to use Chadwick Bosemans likeness, you just know they would keep him as black panther, never take off the mask to minimize cgi for the face, and roll in tons of dough from it. I wonder how people would react to that?

My theory: Winston, after he becomes wealthy, buys the firehouse to keep the power on knowing about the dangers of the containment grid getting shut off and then, for whatever reason, tells Ray and the others that it was going to become a "Starbucks." As for there being some kind of power outage that could have shut down the containment grid, he could have had a backup power generator installed to keep the power on in the event of a power outage.

@@SnakeEyedAndVenomous The way Ray said it was a Starbucks made it sound like it it had happened not too long after Egon left and the group disbanded. I would imagine it took Winston a decade or longer to become wealthy like he is in Afterlife, so I doubt he bought the property and just let it sit there abandoned and falling apart, but told Ray that it was turned into a Starbucks. The movie has a bunch of plotholes and things that don’t make sense, just so it can have moments of fan service and nostalgia, and this is one of them as far as I’m concerned. Like why Ray seemingly wasn’t concerned that the firehouse was turned into a Starbucks even though it had a containment unit that likely held hundreds of ghosts, which could be disastrous if the wrong person had control of it. The backup generator is a plausible idea, but I don’t buy it since that would mean it was gas (or updated to solar power) and would have to be running constantly as backup in case a power outage did occur. Otherwise, losing power and then the backup generator kicking on (which is normally how they’re used) would have to be very fast otherwise the ghosts would blast out of the unit. I’m not sure how much time the ghosts would need to escape, but it happened in seconds in the first movie. Anyway, the generator would require regular maintenance to make sure it always had gas (or solar power), and to make sure there was no degradation or rust so it didn’t fail when it was needed. With the firehouse being such a mess and clearly abandoned for some time when Winston visits it in the post-credits scene, I doubt anyone would have been making sure the backup generator was running properly over the years, if it did have one. But, it is possible. Maybe the sequel will have an actual explanation for some of the plotholes, instead of “here’s some nostalgia, don’t think about why it doesn’t make sense”.

@@SnakeEyedAndVenomous Or it had been a Starbucks for a few years after the Ghostbusters had sold it, presumably it had taken some years for WInston to become rich enough to just buy it, but that Starbucks might also have just failed to bring a profit and the place had stood empty for some years even before WInston went and bought it. But Ray simply hadn't been interested enough to keep up with what was happening with it, and since the last time he had, it had been a Starbucks he just thought it still was. Ray did seem kind of bitter over the whole thing so it would make sense if he had not bothered to follow what was going on with everything that belonged to that part of his past. He might have refused to discuss anything about it with the people he did stay in touch with, like Winston, so Winston hadn't bothered to tell him anything either. And if the place had been empty and seemingly abandoned for years it might also have been broken into. I'd presume Winston had paid for a security firm to install at least some alarms and keep an eye on it, but if it had happened they might not have noticed that the intruders had gotten as far as the containment unit and done something to it, so that might explain why it was about to fail.

I think the point that is being made is that VHS tapes don't just immediately start the movie when you pop them in and press play. There are several seconds of lead-in tape, plus usually some trailers and ads before the films starts.

Eh, it makes sense, I think. It's a nice sentiment to do a "one final meeting" thing with Egon, but really, they probably shouldn't have done it. It feels kinda wrong to recreate a dead man just for the nostalgia feels.

Exactly. She had more style, class, and dominating screen presence than all four of those slobs.

All the clapback from the white knights defending that awful 2016 garbage movie was, "misogynist fanboys can't handle a strong female lead!" This movie not only had a strong female lead, but she was 12! AND the fanboys loved it. It's almost like the reason they were angry with 2016 was because it was an awful movie with bad writing and bad acting with horrible CGI.

@@Craxin01 I love the movie but( and I don't consider it overthinking it since that's PART of what Cinema Sins does with movies when you think about it)one of my only issues with it was having children using proton packs as Ghostbusters. If the proton packs are nuclear accelerators, than they're dangerous weapons, if children wouldn't be using automatic guns and semi-automatic guns, then why would it make sense for them to be using proton packs? But the movie gets away with it because proton packs are science-fiction-weapons and fantastical and there's no reference or basis for them in real life, whereas guns are real. So for me, kids being Ghostbusters and running around using dangerous weapons is one of the few sins of an awesome movie.

Small town, Oklahoma, help needed. It's not like he's being entrusted with moving nuclear waste. How much training does it REALLY take to handle some frozen burger patties in a restaurant that is fully shown later to be not the most hygienic? Also, restaurant is a generous name for a greasy-spoon hole-in-the-wall drive-thru almost entirely manned by teenagers goofing off.

There's literally NO reason for those signs to be there, except to be yet another gratuitous callback.

Why does the ghost orb need to use the bridge to get back to the mine? It can make a beeline across.

Being obtuse is their job even when they sound overly critical.

Also stabling her arms, she hasn’t got good aim

@@mrcritical6751 i figured this was what they were going for, suring her footing and helping her aim, but the aim aspect is poorly executed. In previous films when the guys are flailing around while tethering/wrangling ghosts i always assumed they stayed on target because they had already made contact and the positive aspect of the beam was attracted to the negative energy of the ghosts and that the difficulty in maintaining that through the feedback down the beam is what caused this movement. But in this, when Phoebe first uses the pack on that hunk of metal in the field, she stays dead on target while she jerks all over the place. If she could do that, staying locked on gozer given what we've seen in the past, should not be a problem at all. I really dig the film and appreciate it for its effort and ability to reinvigorate the franchise, but Jason and his writing partner need someone to come in, maybe from the fandom of GB fans or the great UKposts channel "Channeling Spirits" who have a better understanding of the pseudoscience and lore, because for all their effort, and i can feel the effort here, they misstep a few times hard. Case in point: thats not how crossing the streams works and thats not why crossibg the streams worked in the first movie or video game. Again, i dug the movie but by not paying attention to stuff like that you miss a bit of the charm of what Dan Akroyd and his mad science was trying to do, which the team on the original really understood which underscores the zanyness of the premise. I don't know if he still does but a lot of what inspired the original is that Aykroyd really believed in the basis of the supernatural and the scientific means to interact with it back in the 80s. That very strongly informs the tone of what Ghostbusters are and what they do. Harold masterfully streamlined and cleaned that up into something that didnt sound like mad ramblings, and the props and effects departments solidified that into something that was borderline believable if you suspended your disbelief on one or two simple aspects of the real world. Keep going, but they gotta do better.

@@timewarriorsaga if that's a complaint, I dont think you understand what they do here.

@@NotThatGuy_YepThatGuy if you look at the pack testing scene and focus on the stream itself you can actually see she starts out with good aim but overtime loses control. It starts out going straight but as it goes on the strength becomes too much for her and it starts flailing all over the place. Then during the Muncher chase she hits everything in her path except the ghost, she can control the stream briefly but can’t keep it up for long periods of time

Lucky didn't really have anything to do either, besides dispense exposition about the town's history. And the way she instantly gets taken out of the fight at the end suggests the filmmakers also had no idea what to do with her.
