Ghostbusters II Part 2 - The Sequel

@specs

Most of these scrubs love lame ass Force awakens which was a legit rehash of A new hope starring one of the biggest mary sues I have seen since fucking resident evil and I am sure not a single one of them was like OMG she is gurl I hatez this movie. So why would that all of a sudden be the case now? These dudes are waaaaaay more invested in star wars than shitty ass ghostbusters. Do you think the actual reason might be the back lash from the director/actors/sjw peons such as yourself that stemmed from people simply stating that the trailer looked like shit?

I mean it has been seen as mostly mediocre, and most people (myself included) don’t really like having token black people cooning it up in movies so white women can have something to laugh at. Pretty much how I felt about the black dude in force awakens too, he was just a token incompetent black guy for you to laugh at.

I don’t remember either Billy Dee Williams or Ernie Hudson being either incompetent or fucking straight caricatures of black people. But I guess that is okay in these new movies to you right just as long as it glorifies your sacred white cow.

Ernie may have been a good dude, but he wasn’t made to be all that he was supposed to be. I didn’t really feel like Finn was a black caricature though. His awkwardness and the things he did all made sense according to his character. But that’s stuff for a different thread.

I don’t feel that way at all about Fin. He was pretty instrumental in saving Poe and getting the map to the Rebellion. I thought his story arch was one of the better ones in the movie, with his whole conflict with being a Storm Trooper and his feelings for and friendship with Rey. Yeah, he had some funny lines, but he was also a bad ass and did the right thing when it counted.

You’re probably right about the token black woman in the new Ghostbusters though. And I agree there’s a lot of that going on in Hollywood, hence #OscarsSoWhite.

I want to respond to specs but his comments seem too on point with what you would see on tumblr or radical feminist media outlets. It almost feels like a badly constructed bait with as much buzz words as possible. I’ll just have to ignore him I think since I can’t tell if he’s being serious or not.

@chadouken!

Naw he was the incompetent one, but then again EVERYONE was made to be fairly useless in order to make Rey look good in that film, which is why he quite literally a token black guy put in the movie for the sole purpose of having a black guy in the trailers. There wasn’t really any reason given why he just snapped out of being a storm trooper except that he felt that it was wrong or some lame shit that wasn’t explored. He had like one cool moment that was pretty much overshadowed by the fact that Rey learned to fly the falcon in like 5 minutes.

Then they had to go the route of making him act like a bitch for whatever reason lol, and then of course the worst part is having him be knocked out or in a coma for like the whole final act of the movie, like he was just gone. Good job space science.

Apparently he wasn’t needed anymore as comedy relief being the token black dude ala Samuel L and Billy Dee

I don’t know, I thought that the deal with Finn is that he is force sensitive. Star Wars is space opera anyways. I’m not going to get serious over something like that.

It isn’t like they took an Asimov book and added bojangles to it.

It’s not serious at all until dudes get mad cause I say it’s a white girl flick with a token black dude thrown in so they can get they bbc fantasy on.

I don’t even know what to say about this article.

Use archive me or quote the goddamn article, why give those idiots clicks?

The New ‘Ghostbusters’ Is the Greatest Subtweet of All Time
By some stupid cu**nt

(hasn’t seen The Force Awakens and doesn’t care to do so

I guess that means I’m sexist then. :coffee: )

Oh wait. I already knew that since I hate everyone by default, so we’re good.

Besides, I currently do still want to see Rogue One oddly and that’s headlined by a woman; oh noes, incoming misogyny paradox meltdown. :worried:

Hmmm? Who is angry in here? Most of the people in here are morbidly amused in one way or another. At most, before specs came in here to snipe, the extent of anger here was vague annoyance at Feig and to a lesser extent McCarthy being idiots or getting annoyed at Raz0r for trolling or face-palming at Leslie Jones basically being Ms. Bojangles. That’s about it.

There’s way more disappointment here than anger and even with that there’s hardly that much disappointment since most of the people in here expected this movie to be a mediocre-at-best movie, which even the more positive reviews posted in here have basically reaffirmed at this point–your sacrifice is in vain, @Pertho.

I’ll agree that the anger towards the movie is largely overblown, but so is the self-righteous defending of it like it’s anything actually special just because the main cast are all women; wowzers, that’s never been done before, right Deathproof? Quite simply this would not have gotten to the level of general vitriol on the greater Internet it currently stands at if Feig and white knight apologists and other SJWs like him weren’t so insecure that they can literally brook no criticism without equating it to sexism or some other type of oppression that forces them to make insulting blanket statements and strawmen of people’s possibly valid critiques; that’s not even getting into the misandrist double standard of whom they target, i.e. James Rolfe.

I mean, sure, a bunch of people would have likely still cried that it was raping their childhood or whatever, but that was basically guaranteed to be the case anyway after all the this time, especially after Harold Ramis died and subsequently thus wasn’t involved. That’s generally par for the recourse with any franchise reboot, especially given everyone is rightfully cynical about Hollywood exploiting franchises purely to make money off of the name-brand rather than to try to actually do anything good with it.

[details=Spoiler]Seriously, though, a sudden dance sequence? As comedy? That also is just an idiotic movie if the protagonists could be similarly possessed? What.

I guess when Feig was saying he didn’t think men could be funny, he was including himself then. In before he gets sex change like the Wachowski sibling and subsequently implodes into his own newly crafted vagina once (s)he has a Jupiter Ascending-level meltdown.[/details]

Sums up what’s really going on with ghostbusters imo.

lmao this post tho

So reading that one little snippet about them uploading their ghostbusting to youtube really makes me think I am right about the film being redone halfway through production. Which is probably why it was so lackluster because of them rushing and using less takes. Probably explains the weak cg.

That’s one of the pettiest things I’ve ever read. I almost feel bad for that guy.

In the above article, the only part I agreed with were the YouTube comments on the trailer. I haven’t read them again in months but last time I did I couldn’t believe how butthurt people were.

Sums up my thoughts of the movie from its announcement.

There really isn’t a better quality clip of this, sorry.

I posted a article a page ago that showed this was a sock account by someone on a opposing reddit forum who wanted to discredit the ghostbusters reddit.

Niggas is really this dumb

24 hours and dudes acting brand new.

Yeah, there was a announcement of reshoots at least a couple of months ago IRC after the first trailer did so poorly on Youtube, hence why I keep hammering on that point of “the dance sequence” apparently getting through the first “final” version and only getting semi-excised in the re-shoot phase.

From the reviews, I’m not sure what else they changed beyond a cheap-shot “joke” against their Youtube detractors though. The weak-ass CG could have easily not been touched at all.

Okay, I did not know that they cut that part out for Winston!! :disappointed:

That sucks.
At least the IDW comic is doing Winston some well deserved justice.

lmfao bnc usually is the most chill person when he reviews movies even ones that are fuckin retarded or ruin his childhood franchises. but the internet broke him lmfao
