The trailer can't even get the facts right:
"30 years ago... four scientists saved New York..."
Winston was NEVER a scientist! He was just a dude looking for a "steady paycheck."
Lord almighty.
I think Winston earned a deegree between the ghosbusters 2 movie and the 2009 videogame(which is considered cannon), but that still doesn't make sense because when the team busted gozer, winston was not a scientist.
He wasn't even the sassy black man like his new counterpart, he was simply a surrogate for the audience,the everyday man being inserted in a group of 3 science nerds, he spoke with intelligence and even simplified the technobabble for the mayor to understand, him being black was not a character quirk, just a coincidence.
But the obvious reason he was called a scientist, the other options were probably : 4 guys, heroes, men saved new york and that obvious truth is too much for this hollywood hype progressive bullshit movie to handle, so they just refer to those men in a gender neutral noun
This movie is so much shit, the feminist exposition on this movie is unbearable, she's the best engineer, she's the best nuclear physicist of the whole world, SHOW don't TELL, in the original movies they had a well written script, like the case of showing Dr. Venkman genius, it took me a long time as a kid to notice that he was not just simply hitting on that chick in the beggining of the movie, the real experiment was to test if negative reinforcement improves one telepathic powers, which he indeed proved... no stupid verbal exposition, but hey i guess women being overtly boastful of themselves is not far from truth
Also what the fuck with the dark lighting and these vivid blue ghost, they suck balls, the lightning sets the mood more to a drama film instead of a comedy(can i call a 2 hour snl sketch a comedy?), and the fucking ghosts look so fake, not scary at all
found this video explaining why they fucked up the ghost's colour pallete in the movie
