Just a minor recent gripe


I am a long time Ghostbusters fan but every so often I come across something that really bugs me.

Two things that bug me in regard to Ghostbusters.

1. I can't stand the "memorial" meme fan art of Harold Ramis as Egon sadly waving goodbye over a ghost trap, about to be busted by the others. 1. The Ghostbusters usually leave the benign ghosts alone. 2. You really want to think of these heroes as busting their friend and dumping him in the pocket dimension of the containment unit surrounded by ghosts that likely have a grudge against him? Essentially damning him for all time. WHY would you want this??!

2. Something else that bugs me. Apparently the new Ghostbusters have a gauntlet that "Kills" Ghosts. The original Ghostbusters never destroyed human souls. That would be considered far too powerful. In fact if you take Real Ghostbusters as canon even The Stay Puff Marshmellow man wasn't actually destroyed because he recorporealized in the containment unit. In the cartoon continuity Egon did briefly come up with a device that could disintergrate a ghost into discorporate particles. This indicates that the ghost might eventually piece himself back together however the device only appeared in one episode and karma bit Egon in the ass for the device.

I have seen a lot of complaints about the new Ghostbusters but no one else is disturbed by this gauntlet!?!

Yeah the whole gauntlet thing makes no sense. You know what makes no sense as well? The whole Ghostbusters reboot movie. Try not to question the logic of the new movie, the guys in charge made no effort to create a coherent movie.

What about the ghost shredder?
