90% liked on youtube? Are you talking about the trailers strictly, or the movies themselves? If it's the trailers, then that's because the trailers tend to hide their worst bits, as modern movie trailers often do, by cramming themselves full of the best moments. This is partially why the Ghostbusters 2016 trailers are so derided; their use of 'the best moments' present the movie as a shallow cash-grab with diversity pandering that has a nice cherry on top known as "mocking the audience openly" with bits like Patty's "I don't know if it's a black thing or a woman thing" on top of the director happily chugging along with the narrative of "Only misogynists dislike my the blatant cash-grab I'm busy making!"undeadsuitor said:And yet, neither of those movies got the same vile hatred thrown at it like Ghostbusters.
For as bad as those movies were, they're still sitting at like 90% liked on youtube, while ghostbusters is sitting lower than 20%
The trailer isn't worse than any of those old trailers, the property is just as old, the jokes and cgi are just as bad. So what makes this specific trailer 70% worse?
If it was timing, TMNT 2 would have just as bad of a score, if it was the fact that it's an unnecessary sequel, Independence Day 2 would be just as hated
there's only so many variables that could cause such a massive shift in disposition towards a movie
Honestly, I do not want to come off as rude, but every time this discussion occurs it seems as though the same tired methods of ear-plugging are dragged out into the open as if they're fresh and viable arguments. "Well there are other reboots that are just as bad!" Funny thing, the reboots tend to keep the reboots familiar enough for old fans to at very least point at the screen and say "Hey, I know what that's supposed to be." The closest thing to that in the recent trailers I've seen is the presence of Slimer, which honestly comes off more as a pandering tactic given the movie's supposed focus on being new, exciting, and a new generation of Ghostbusters.
Another thing that sets Ghostbusters apart in its general awfulness is the fact that the upcoming TMNT movie revisits plot points from the comics and cartoons that are, in general, quite beloved by the fanbase. I mean, actually well-rendered 3D Bebop and Rocksteady? Hell yeah, people were begging for it the moment the first Uncanny Valley Ninja Turtles was announced. Even Transformers Age of Extinction (I'm pretty sure that's the one) had the Dinosaur transformers, although from what I heard they got shafted on screentime.
Ghostbusters 2016 has... Slimer, Four unfunny comedians paired with an out of place male sex symbol, Happy Madison humor paired with middle of the road production values, and a viral marketing campaign that revolves around guilt tripping those big meanie heads who think their movie doesn't look that good into watching it by calling them names. If there's any vile hatred at play here, I'd say it's coming from the cast and crew, and 'prospective fans' behind this shlock. AVGN says he doesn't want to review a movie, and suddenly twitter users are coming out of the woodwork questioning his marriage's quality, calling him misogynistic, and gossiping up a storm over it.
