All Female Ghostbusters III...
While on the one hand I like the idea of challenging the stereotype that females aren't into anything technical. They'd have to be open minded to technical stuff in order to be the scientists that the Ghostbuster are or at least have a couple of geek girls.. OK at least one! In the original Ghostbusters there where two scientists with degrees in physics, metallurgy and engineering along with one para-psychologist and one Joe Shmoe...
I also enjoy opposites and reversals...
We didn't like the original Ghostbusters simply because it was an all-male team. We liked it because they where comic geniuses.
But.. how do I put this...
This kinda feels like change for change's sake and an appeal to the feminist crowd. But if they really are going after that crowd they better be careful because
1) You can't just substitute male for female because then it'd be Ms. Male Character. Which is "The female version of an already established or default male character." this would be that to the logical extreme. It would be a female version of an already established GROUP of male characters.
2) What would they wear that would please the above audience and everyone else? Can't be too sexy or else they'd be objectified. Can't be the original dickey's jumpsuits because then they'd just be Ms Male Character.
In order to please the politically correct crowd it'd probably be best to go with a symmetrical male, female team. But does anyone really want a politically correct Ghostbusters movie?
I'm not sure how a Ghostbusters reboot would work out with modern comedians in there male or female. Saturday Night Live has gone downhill as it has been changing hands from one generation to the next... with the original Ghostbusters generation being the first.
It's probably going to happen sooner or later much to people like me who had the originals as a part of their childhood's chagrin though. Unlike with Robocop however a PG-13 Ghostbusters reboot would be an "upgrade" since the original was just PG.
