Melissa McCarthy still stings from 'Ghostbusters' backlash: 'I just don't know why people are so afraid of women.'

LOL.
They still call it fear.
She's pathetic.

Nobody wanted fat unattractive women as Ghostbusters.
shareFear of women doesn't seem to be the case, Ghostbusters Afterlife has a 13 year old female lead so nobody is complaining about a female lead in that, it really seems like not many people care about the 2016 actresses they either find them loud and obnoxious or a superficial thing they find them fat and ugly.
shareThat may be the case with the new movie but in the trailer I saw many male characters that appear to be a big part of the story and none of them appear to be idiots or assholes.
shareWhether or not male characters are a huge part of the story or portrayed as idiots or assholes really doesn't matter it's the script that matters.
Usually movies with female leads they have one or two women backed up by men like Alien, Terminator, Wonder Woman etc.
It's nearly always best to go with a mixed sex cast in a genre movie if you want a female lead.
Maybe so I'm just saying I'm more open minded about the new movie given the talent involved and from the trailer it looks promising as an apology for GB 2016.
shareThe new movie trailer does promise a more interesting restart where the 2016 trailer just showed it was tonally different to the point it was incongruent, it looked like a generic rom com where the original was a lot more scary.
shareI didn't care to see it because it looked like a lazy cash grab.

shareThe problem was that the movie wasn't very good.
shareThe real problem is this shouldn't have been a Ghostbusters movie. Same movie, same cast, same director, making a zany film about an upstart business with whacky problems: Gold. Making it Ghostbusters made it SHIT.
shareI watched it for the first time recently, doing a watch through of Paul Feig's movies, and it was the worst of the four I saw. The others being Bridesmaids (2011), The Heat (2013) and Spy (2015).
I think a big part of the problem is the fact it was PG13. Melissa McCarthy was leashed, I know many don't like her but I've found her funny in several movies but she absolutely works best with crude comedy. Also the supporting cast wasn't that great. I liked Hemsworth in the movie in his small role and Kristen Wiig is always decent but in Feig's other movies Rose Byrne (Bridesmaids and Spy) and Sandra Bullock (The Heat) did some heavy lifting and worked well with McCarthy.
An R rated Ghosbusters with McCarthy, Wiig, Byrne & Bullock would have been great.
They have cooties.
