Instead of just finding new exciting stories for Thor, AND creating a powerful new female hero; they instead opt for the lazy way out and just make a female Thor.

It robs people who Love Thor of Thor. Instead we get a female version that I absolutely have no interest in. And it's all over. Characters are getting REPLACED by minorities and women. Instead of them making NEW characters they are REPLACING them. That pisses me the F**k off. I'm boycotting Marvel comics (still watching the movies) until they fix that shit.

Also whoever says Melissa McCarthy is unfunny is ****ing delusional

Yeah that was a pretty awful trailer. Shame that it looks so bad but here we are.

What exactly do you find so stimulating about her white, trailer trash comedy? Why does constant swearing make you laugh, because that's all she does? If I see McCarthys name on a movie, that's my cue to skip it.

Yah, I just watched the trailer yesterday and it looks abysmal. Hollywood and comics need to stop replacing males with females....How about just come up with NEW IDEAS and stop recycling everything.. Goes for remakes as well. SO many remakes out there and they're mostly trash.

Or even better have the team a mix of Male & Females

1) Was anyone REALLY calling for another GB movie in the first place?

I was but not so much the way they went for this Ghostbusters reboot.

If the only reason you dislike what we've seen of the film so far is that the all-male cast was replaced with an all-female one, then frankly you're the type of person that this film is going out of its way to shit on anyway.

"It looks unfunny/boring/cheesy/whatever" is a valid criticism, "muh boys' club" is silly.

this looks terrible. that dialogue was cringeworthy.

I understand the frustration with a female Thor but the situations are completely different. This team of female ghostbusters are different characters from the original team of male ghostbusters. It's not just replacing the men with women, it's about going a new direction with unique and intriguing characters.

Jane Foster isn't Thor Odinson. I mean, you could argue that they're both just replacing someone in a role.

Eh, either way it doesn't matter.

I tend to enjoy McCarthy's crude humour, but the dialogue in that trailer alone... Ugh. I really hope it's just a badly cut trailer, and the next one we get is more encouraging. I also wonder if Hemsworth is going to do anything more than what Janine did in the original.

It's like the Annie stuff all over again.

Someone edited together a better trailer

My concern with the movie is the choice of casting, not the fact these new Ghostbusters are women. Nothing about the job says it's male exclusive. These wouldn't even be the first Ghostbusting women in the franchise. Ladies and gentlemen, let me take you back to 1997 to a show that continued canonically after the movies.

Notice the fourth member? Yeah, a woman.

After the original Ghostbusters disbanded, Egon was looking for a new team to mentor and one of those recruits was a woman named Kylie Griffin considered among many fans as the best character in the show. There were even times in said show when Janine the receptionist would don a suit and assist in ghost busting from time to time and that never drew controversy so everybody acting like all men criticizing the trailer are sexist can kindly piss off.

I liked Extreme Ghostbusters, and I did bring up that there was a fourth member who was female somewhere...I did bring it up with my sister since she was happy about a female team

For some reason I liked both Ghostbusters 1 AND 2. I just never got the hatred that the sequel gets. Was it better then the first movie? No, but then most sequels do not surpass the original.

I was really hopeful for this movie until i saw the trailer. Aside from the the blonde actress, the cast looks as though they completely missed the mark. I like McCarthy but it looks like she's playing the same exact character that she always plays and that's not a character i want to see in, ghostbusters. The movie looks like nothing but a script full of dull one liners and bad jokes.
