What I don't get is why they are saying it's "introducing slimer". He was clearly visible in the first trailer. Is it "introduced" because the characters interacted with him? I mean it's not like he said anything. He just floated around like he always does.Something Amyss said:

Yeah this is awful. The effects look okay but I would scrap it completely or start over with a new cast and story. If they had gotten better female comedians maybe I would be more optimistic. But this looks like basically Pixels level of awfulness. I really am not sure what people are talking about. It was actually better when we didn't see much of it but now that I have it's even worse. Also I am pretty sure Winston was not such a black cliche as this woman obviously is and if he was they were much more subtle about it.
Do we really have better candies in Canada?ccggenius12 said:
And also, do you have the regular-flavoured Crispers? they don't seem to sell them here, at least in the Maritimes anymore.
I think the line is supposed to be "I don't know whether writing a joke about people being racist or being sexist is funnier, so I'll just middle-ground it and hope it ends up funny". Breaks the fourth wall a bit, but I guess that's fine since Deadpool did so well.KaraFang said:
I'd just assumed, because every *insert favorite candy* thread that pops up here is inundated with a deluge of people naming candies that don't exist in America. Fortuitously, Presidential Bagel appears to have corroborated my anecdotal evidence. Of course, he now also has me wondering what's lacking in your breakfast isle...the December King said:

I'm not watching this trailer, I have no interest in doing so
Where's my controversy over being MRA?

Yes, this trailer is marginally better than the first, but so is being covered in ten gallons of liquefied shit rather than twenty gallons. Doesn't really make it more appealing.
Yeah, I just...can't find the will to go see this movie, even out of some morbid curiosity to see how good or bad it turns out. Nothing about it, beyond the initial premise of 'gender-bending Ghostbusters for a reboot', interests me. Which is a shame. The cast, individually, are fine but none of the clips demonstrate any sort of charm or charisma between them. I'm not fond of the directors catalog of work, for the most part. The jokes presented in the trailers are flat at best and cringe-inducing at worst, and the effects look cheap and antiquated (and not in a good way). Even this 'good' trailer still makes the film look like some unholy cross between a modern day Sandler comedy and one of those god-awful live-action Scooby Doo movies.
Still, despite all of that, it has given me a few things to enjoy. It's lead to Ecto Coolers returning, and the shitstorms of petty bickering it's spawned online (and Sony's abysmal attempts at damage control) have been quite entertaining to watch. Which is quite convenient as I'll have something to drink while watching the world destroy itself over the dumbest shit.

I got far more of a laugh out of that comment than I did either of the trailers.webkilla said:
I don't know if its the type of comedy in the new movie, the nostalgia of the old movies or just that it's not a good movie (which going by the huge amount of negativity surrounding it so far this isn't impossible), but I haven't seen anything that had made me laugh or get at all excited. Still I agree this trailer is an improvement, didn't have the drawn out possession scene the first one that. That trailer bored me :-/
Please. But go light on the salt and butter. I'm watching my figure.RaikuFA said:

Oh, you know it. But I wonder...RaikuFA said:
What will yield the most melodrama? The movie being awful, or the movie being good? Either way, it'll be entertaining.
It strikes me that the "girl thing or a race thing" was meant more as a follow-up, not a joke, with the decired (female) audience reaction being "Ya you tell 'em girl" or some similar form of empathy. Of course, we don't know this character, so we have no cause to empathize with her. Indeed, seeing her going "the power of pain compels you" certainly doesn't make her come off as worthy of empathy.RicoADF said:
I'd say Awful. If the reaction to James Rolf's video on why he's not gonna see this thing is any indicator there are a LOT of people REALLY riding on this movie being the next big victory for Feminism. This thing flops, I'm expecting a TON of temper tantrums and whining.Vigormortis said:
Markedly better than the first trailer.
I actually got a little awkward grin out of that "I'm just gonna go" bit.
They definitely should have lead with this one...not that it's good, in any way something worth seeing, nor is it a worthy "successor" to the originals...
It's still, nakedly, some unholy union between Ghostbusters rule 63 fanfiction, Bridesmaids (I genuinely don't understand how people found that film funny), and the Scooby-Doo movie sequels.
Therefore, still not seeing it. Still loathe its existence. Still annoyed at being called a misogynist because I think the aforementioned things.
So, no real change here.
