It's weird to see actual deaths come about because of the ghost's arrival. They kinda shied away from that in the previous films and this one is like, "People fuckin' froze to death!"

I just hope the villain is anyone but Gozer. They are way too dependent on him/her/them.

I get the vibe that they're going to veer even harder into the Stranger Things-esque comedy / horror blend than they did in Afterlife. Which to me is fine, even if it reeks of 'that's what's popular now;' I like the new cast, but I don't think they can carry a pure comedy on their own, let alone one on the level of the OG Ghostbusters. As long as it's at least something fresher than Afterlife's nostalgia-fest, I'll consider it a marked improvement.

For the record, I didn't hate Afterlife; I liked parts of it, and saw there was potential for better movies in this framework. When given the choice between having my fandom shamelessly fellated (Afterlife) or aggressively shat upon (Ghostbusters 2016), I'm probably gonna lean towards the former.
