I may be prone to this myself, but I agree that I think all that's been said has already been said and the it's just mental masturbation at this point.

Re: Ghostbusters 3

Short version of what I wrote:

If you think sexist humor or criticizing female casting choices is "always bad", then that applies to misandrist humor in sitcoms, rom-coms, as well. Not just to...

Re: Ghostbusters 3

I think they should just add into the plot that the original Ghostbusters had sex change surgeries - that way they can appeal to the transgender minority too, and at least somewhat tie it into the...

It can if the prequel sets up a plot hook, and then the sequel or "next part in the chapter" takes a negative twist.
