You mention _Extreme Ghostbusters_ but omit the fact that in the episode “The Ghostmakers”, Eduardo and Slimer become phantoms of themselves as mirror ghosts expel them from their bodies unable to touch, be seen, or heard by any normal person (even Slimer couldn’t see Eduardo prior to) and have this exchange: Eduardo: _“Wait a second, if I'm a ghost, then that makes you a ghost... of a ghost?_ Slimer: _“What?”_ Eduardo: _“You’re dead.”_ Slimer: 😳 _”Again?!”_ 😱 (starts crying) Would kinda heavily imply Slimer was indeed a dead man’s spirit much in the vein of the Scoleri brothers since he does look like a transparent person as the Gray Lady primarily does or the ghost jogger and Titanic victims do. In fact, it seems that a ghost’s appearance reflects the nature of their deaths where relevant. The more malevolent their life was, the more caricaturistic their manifestation comes across with maybe one or two exception like Casey Jones’ spirit in _RGB: “Last Train to Oblivion”_ or the frat ghosts in _RGB: “That Old College Spirit”._ I’ve always found the Huey Lewis vs Ray Parker Jr. business was a massive stretch. You can better hear the whole Queen vs Vanilla Ice business because Ice admitted it was a rearrangement but “I Want a New Drug” doesn’t have enough in common without having to do a mashup (where it _does_ start to sound a little bit the same) but that’s still going out of the way. Also, how would Weird Al be able to parody songs with the bare amount of difference he uses if we’re to assume Huey Lewis had any case? Hell, Laura Brannigan famously proved in court that you can make any song sound like another when she was sued over “How Am I Supposed to Live Without You?” and won. Besides, I’ve seen an ever growing compilation of songs the Elec-Man theme from _Mega Man_ resembles with just a basic melody. Something else to note is that Dana uses the term “husband” in the sequel. I think the simpler answer is, _Ghostbusters: Afterlife_ is just a poorly written film guilting people out of criticizing it with overbearing sentiment to the memory of Harold Ramis after the remastered videogame and _Answer the Call_ did it back when immediately relevant. Kind of hard to say the film is “for Harold” when it shows him going nuts and everybody trashtalking Egon throughout. Why could they not just make Janine his baby mama!? I know Ramis didn’t care for the whole Janine/Egon thing but neither RGB nor EGB cared any more than probably most of the comics ever did and both had an episode addressing how oblivious Egon was to her that a ghost of the week victimized her over it.😒
Aykroyd himself basically described Slimer as John Belushi's ghost because Belushi was originally supposed to be Venkman in his original version of the screenplay but Belushi died before he could have the role.
Bill Murray appeared, in a weird sense, destined to play Venkman. Nothing against John Belushi here. I adored his Samurai character on SNL. The guy was really funny, but I can't imagine any other actor doing Venkman as well as Murray did.
That ghost phallacio is also the exact moment in the montage that syncs up perfectly with the Ray Parker Jr. line "Bustin' makes me feel good!" I noticed THAT for the first time when I re-watched it, getting ready for Afterlife. WHICH REMINDS ME! I gotta marathon all three of them THIS weekend to get ready for Frozen Empire! 🤩
The Proton Packs also deplete the ghost's energy weakening them so they can be trapped and contained. The jogger ghost was a weak ghost not needing to knock down his energy levels to trap him. Other ghosts on the other hand do need a good blasting to disperse it's energy.

The "cross stream governor" from the game is a safeguard which automatically detects whether or not the streams are crossing and sharply dampens their intensity so that the result is being knocked off your feet, but still taking a significant amount of damage.
The reason Gozer was able to uncross the streams in afterlife was because she knew how to counter it from the 1st movie Winston even says I think she remembers us
Slimer was inspired by John Belushi and that is 100 percent true cause of the way John's character in Animal House made weird movements with his eyebrows and there is footage from the making of Ghostbusters documentary where they explain this. And Slimer was in Ghostbusters Afterlife but it's a deleted scene.
Question 3...there were only 3 proton streams crossed. Maybe the lack of the 4th stream was just enough that Gozer was able to uncross the streams. I'm still waiting for the answer to why Venkman carries thorazine on a date...
Reitman’s explanation for the Thorazine was “it was a different time,” or something. Makes me think it meant either she or Venkman had it for recreational use, like Quaaludes.
Ramis and Aykroyd wrote the game, can't get more Canon than that! These series trying to disavow their past entries never works out: Halloween, terminator, etc.
I always had a theory that Vigo always had some power but he knew about the coming of Gozer. He had to wait for Gozer to be taken out of the picture before he could gain his power back. As soon as Gozer was destroyed that’s when he started amassing the river of slime to make him grow stronger. In addition to that I believe it was actually Vigo who turned on the TV in Dana’s apartment so that she could see the ghostbusters commercial. He knew he wasn’t stronger than Gozer so he needed to manipulate the situation to get people who could eliminate them.
I always assumed that Slimer was a former guest of the hotel who died there. The hotel manager did say that they had experienced disturbances in the past, though things had been quiet the past few years till the events of the first movie started. So I just thought that Slimer had been some guy who died awhile ago and had been haunting the hotel since, making appearances over the years. As for crossing the streams, I thought that what happened was that it could create antimatter. "Total protonic reversal" sounds like it could be turning protons into anti-protons, and if that is the case, then it would be very dangerous as even a tiny amount of antimatter reacting with normal matter would create a huge release of energy. This could be what happened in Gozer's dimension at the end of the first film, resulting in the explosion that closes the doorway between dimensions.
Although the ghost isn't called Slimer in the movie Ray does refer to "slimers" as a type of ghost they catch when he's showing Winston the containment unit.
Best theory I could offer is the joy stick switched speakers and the statue veer in that direction like a plant leaning toward light or horse having the reins tug at the side of its head the rider wants it to turn. But good question I never thought to really ask. But, if the statue has passage up to the crown through its underside, how come it didn’t flood and sink when it got in the water?

He didn't just freeze the cops and army. In the extended cut they have an entire dance number, and apparently the director was crying while filling it lolz 😂
OK. Your answer to number 7. Why Oscar? You give exactly the reason that is explicitly stated IN THE FILM!! Jhonosh SAYS to Vigo that he wants to bring him Dana's child so Vigo can have the baby's body, and he can have...well...HERS! That's not "unanswered"! "Why Oscar?" is answered in full detail in the film by lines uttered directly by characters on the screen! I don't even understand how it could be a fan debate over the years!
I think the crossing of the streams didn't work in afterlife because there were only 3 streams being used (Ray, Peter, and Winston). the other ones Phoebe not close to the others to cross and Trevor's didn't work because the marshmallow men gunking up the works. so I think it would take at least 4 streams where Gozer cant uncross the streams in afterlife
It’s irrelevant and would bog down the perfect flow of the first movie. They’re just gags anyway, and there’s only a few seconds of them being fired in each movie.
The Assembly Cut released with the Ultimate Collection has that in the montage and you do see in both films Egon with the rifle of the new weapons near by being tinkered with showing him in the process of making them.
Just been Pickman I think that you’ll be OK and I think that you will be fine. Save some of that slime for me so we can do some experiments so it can be analyzed and experimentations on it. I think that you will be OK. and I think that was a ghost daughter for torso operation or I should say that was a slim daughter goblin, but I think that you’ll be fine. We just need to analyze an experiment on that slang from the ghost gremlin. I can answer that full particle reversal of crossing the streams. It is in fact, a scientific term for sayin it works both ways when Egon says it burst particle reversal can reverse time just like going to test it out as far as crossing the streams, that just means that the speed of light is the same when you have a portal implosion to explosion from the particles of one self so if you just chance it it could reverse time and put you back right where you were supposed to be in the doors, swings both ways one in and the other is out there’s no way that there could be too much danger of you do it by Paul reversal and hold onto too long. It could be dangerous and also going faster than the speed of light which was speed of time and the time reversal could mean disastrous, that is what Egon knew this because if you screw up time you will scrub the world itself just like with Dr. Emmett Brown saying that me and thorn into a change it timeline just like when I had you To me about the X-Men timeline you would know you can divert time a little, but if you divert too much, it will effect be disastrous. You do remember when Logan when he went back to the time before he was in the Vietnam or just saying the Korean war effort, then I suppose that you’re right about the timeline pretty much but with the time. Throw him back where he was supposed to be before him and his brother actually was in the war, and there will be history that they all know not overlapping any timeline whatsoever just like the monkey moments That you said about that was that you have overwhelmed when it comes to the X-Men timeline? Where some people would put X-Men origins going before everything because of the age difference with James Howard, also known as Logan, Jimmy, and Wolverine so we we deserve some on answered questions being answered by you because you are good at it, and I hope that this helps you out according to how the excellent outline it is leaked with your Ghostbusters questions and answers or unanswered questions can be answered in this fashion But if you want to use my question for your preference, you always can go back and look at this but you do not have to do my version of the Taiwan because some people will put X-Men origins going first before X-Men. First class. There’s no wrong way to do it , so I hope that this helps you out but I hope that helps you out with it and here’s the question that I would like to see answered if you don’t mind Here is this Can X-Men origins go first or is it the way that you said it according to your timeline because we did get to see some of the early versions of the Een characters like cyclops not much of storm, but we did get to see some other earlier ones but couldn’t still go first or is it going that you said it? That is my question that I want to see answered if you do your questions and answers. I hope you make the right choice and that you don’t have to do my timeline you don’t have to. It was only an idea so you can forget it then the Deadpool films is their own scene, I saw my peas. I hope you accept it. You don’t have to do my offer or anything like that you never really came around and actually told me or asked me to not to ask you all that you were not understanding me then hopefully that you can do your unanswered questions being answered by you, so if you do then use mine And I’m sorry please be my friend again and can’t stay silent forever If this put you back in a good graces, or me back in yours, but you have left on slime, maybe we can analyze it and experiment on it and save yourself for me I love you my friend Robbie Anson
The positive charges would repel, but the magnetic field they create would pull them together. In general, the force from the electric field will always be larger, and thus, they should repel (the slower they move, the stronger the repulsion).
it's not just that she has a human appearance as several other sprits do as well, like the zombified taxi driver. it's that we don't have confirmation that she was tied to a human spirit. the only ones that are confirmed to be ghosts of any existing humans are the brothers.
i always assumed the baby was a product of the whole possession thing in the first movie that's why the painting guy wanted to posses it because it was special not just a normal baby.
The new film looks good, actually quite scary too in a kid scary kind of way, also you say the cartoon is it's own continuity, wrong they actually mention the first film in the first few episodes, I havent seen it in a while butnim sure they come back covered in marshmallow too
It's own continuity where the loose events of the first film happened to these characters but it's not actually connected. You can almost argue it's continuity is branched off the first movie but the characters are all very different. Nothing that happens in the show impacts the timeline of the movies outside of providing ideas to inspire the stuff that came later.
the same events are said to have happened, but based on the notion that a lot happens after the gozer showdown that are contradicted in the second movie, it’s considered a separate continuity. plus, in the show, the ghostbusters movie is actually a movie that they get invited to the premiere of.
@@movietimelines oh yeah I forgot about that, I need to rewatch it, there was some great episodes of I remember rightly, man I used to collect the comic when I was a kid too, I think that used to have tobins spirit guide in it (in the UK), running around my school yard pretending to be Ray lol
@@diablojones No, those two movies are the worst I have ever seen. Nightfall bastardized the source material, and 5G Zombies make Sci-fi Channel movies look good.
Don't look at the trap is just playing into the themes of the movie. All the tech is theoretical. If you look into the trap you'll have your atoms split into a trillion pieces and spread across multiple dimensions, or your eyes might sting a bit for a few minutes.
the original cartoon series isn’t it’s own continuity !! There’s an episode in the series where they flash back to the events of the first movie . they’re shown taking off their ghostbusters suits (they had marshmello ooze from the stay-puff man on it) and change into newer costumes . hence why the costumes worn in the 80’s cartoon don’t match the ones in the movies . this is all shown in the cartoon !!!
the events of the movie did take place in the cartoon universe, although slightly differently. there’s an episode near the end of the first season where they establish that the Ghostbusters movies is just a movie, and the characters comment on it, going so far as to make jokes about the actors playing them.
I always wondered something. When you see Ray put the cartridge/trap in the containment unit. Where does it come out? Also how many traps did the Busters have?
I have a theory that Egon had a relationship with a student at the college and they split up and agreed to not see eachother again since she was a student and he was a professor.
Ghostbusters 2 takes place 5 years after the original. So if Dana was impregnant by Louis at the end of the original movie, Oscar would be 5 years old in GB2. For Oscar to be Peter's, Dana and Him would have had to have dated for years prior to GB2 only getting pregnant a year and change prior. So, I think it's safe to say Oscar is neither Peter's nor Louis's.
I never knew it was debate on them why you should never look at the Trap. I always assume that because the proton pack and the trap used nuclear power that it would probably blind you
Why did you trap that Laundry Room ghost? She was cool! ...Oh, I get it, you're just gonna bring her back up to your apartment, release her in your bedroom and continue the "Bustin'" conversation. I mean, I would! I heard that the video game was adapted from the script for part 3. And maybe part 4? But Aykroyd couldn't manage to get them produced? I may be misremembering that tho. I'm sure someone could prove me right or wrong.
Them immediately crossing the streams on Gozer in Afterlife was so stupid. The beams did nothing to them in the first movie and crossing the streams was only used to close the gateway. Did Jason Reitman even watch the finished first movie?
But because Egon couldn’t share that knowledge, it makes sense that the other three might try it anyway. And they didn’t truly cross the streams because they didn’t turn off their criss-stream governors on the guns.
@@Ironcabbitwhat knowledge was there to share? They were all there during the first encounter, they all saw the beams pass through Gozer, and it was Egon who suggested crossing the streams to close the gateway. The whole point of even crossing the streams was to reverse the flow of the gateway with their combined power, not make some super capture beam. I hate that they’ve made “crossing the streams” into some sort of Power Rangers finisher.
What I would like to know is why Peter Venkman just happened to have some thorazine on him when he went for that date with Dana. If he didn't, I doubt she would have left him leave so he must have had it with him already. Did he just forget it was in his pocket or WTF was he planning, lol?
2016 Ghostbusters: it's clearly bad. That being said, it felt to me like it was a vastly different movie from (bad) editing. I want to see the hypothetical director's cut before I could pass final judgement.
The closest they sound is certain riffs and even then only come close to sounding anything alike is if you do a mashup which half results from going out of your way to _make_ them sound alike. There’s a compilation Uncanny X did of all these different songs that sound like Elec-Man from _Mega Man_ just because of this simple dun, dun, duh-dun beat. Anybody could sue someone over that basically.
I'm thinking that Egan's daughter might have been from artificial insemination and that's why he was never there but when he found out he had parental instincts kick in. Although I do have a question why do people think the events of the first movie were fake. Walter Peck gets hit what's 50 lb of marshmallow cream after Mr Stay Puft goes bye-bye

terrible mistake of a movie. i wonder if german imperialism was popular, would hollywood and major companies pander to the nazi’s instead? my main issue is with people who claim the movie is as good or “better” than the originals. its pure political cope.
@@gavingibson8965 The fact is, the major producers in Hollywood _did_ pander to the Nazis! Quote from Wiki's article _Nazism and Cinema:_ "Using the significant economic power of German moviegoers to self-censor films globally, resulting in all but one Hollywood producers censoring films critical of Nazism and even showing news shorts of film produced by the Nazis in American theaters. No American films that were made between 1933 and 1939 were critical of Nazism, including those released domestically."
The "trap sucks your soul" theory is amazingly stupid. If the trap works jut by watching it then there will be no need for ghosts to "walk" or "float" over it, they just have to close their eyes and action it and every ghost in the room that see it would be suck. You clearly have to be in the direct contact with the light the trap emits. If can suck your soul you would need to have your head over the light that the trap emmits not just be looking at it.
Omg the little slimer run by. Love it.
Costume is on point. I want one for my daughter
The kid dressed up as "Slimer" was adorable.
Aykroyd firmly believes in the supernatural. During the 90's he hosted a paranormal show called Psi Factor.
They are also an entertainment family. One of these things is real. Entertainment is dead so it might actually be ghosts.
Look up the book “A History Of Ghosts,” by Dan’s dad Peter Aykroyd. The paranormal runs in their family.
I think he hosted some other supernatural and UFO content throughout the years.
Your ghost ain’t got no legs, lieutenant Dan.
In Japanese folklore they don't.
Ghostbusters continuity is surprisingly complex. Some of these questions are veering into Halloween levels of alternate continuities.
I think it’s only complex because it was never intended to be a film franchise.
What happens if you look at an open ghost trap? You suffer eye damage. That’s what happens.

Slimer: _“What?”_
Eduardo: _“You’re dead.”_
Slimer: 😳 _”Again?!”_ 😱 (starts crying)
Would kinda heavily imply Slimer was indeed a dead man’s spirit much in the vein of the Scoleri brothers since he does look like a transparent person as the Gray Lady primarily does or the ghost jogger and Titanic victims do. In fact, it seems that a ghost’s appearance reflects the nature of their deaths where relevant. The more malevolent their life was, the more caricaturistic their manifestation comes across with maybe one or two exception like Casey Jones’ spirit in _RGB: “Last Train to Oblivion”_ or the frat ghosts in _RGB: “That Old College Spirit”._

I only have one question. Why would The Statue of Liberty have a port for a NES Controller?
Now that is a good question
Best theory I could offer is the joy stick switched speakers and the statue veer in that direction like a plant leaning toward light or horse having the reins tug at the side of its head the rider wants it to turn.
But good question I never thought to really ask. But, if the statue has passage up to the crown through its underside, how come it didn’t flood and sink when it got in the water?

OK. Your answer to number 7.
Why Oscar? You give exactly the reason that is explicitly stated IN THE FILM!! Jhonosh SAYS to Vigo that he wants to bring him Dana's child so Vigo can have the baby's body, and he can have...well...HERS!
That's not "unanswered"! "Why Oscar?" is answered in full detail in the film by lines uttered directly by characters on the screen! I don't even understand how it could be a fan debate over the years!
Busting makes me feel good
In the ghostbusters international roleplaying game slimer is described as an incorporeal undead stomach.
This feels like some weird bedroom play lol
I think the crossing of the streams didn't work in afterlife because there were only 3 streams being used (Ray, Peter, and Winston). the other ones Phoebe not close to the others to cross and Trevor's didn't work because the marshmallow men gunking up the works. so I think it would take at least 4 streams where Gozer cant uncross the streams in afterlife
Egon, super genius, misspelled "received."
If Ghostbusters 2 is out of continuity then how come Ray's shop exist in Ghostbusters afterlife.
I wish I encountered beautiful ghosts in my washing room. Sigh.
😊
The only thing I dislike about Ghost Busters is that it doesn't show them building the Proton packs and traps.
It’s irrelevant and would bog down the perfect flow of the first movie. They’re just gags anyway, and there’s only a few seconds of them being fired in each movie.
The Assembly Cut released with the Ultimate Collection has that in the montage and you do see in both films Egon with the rifle of the new weapons near by being tinkered with showing him in the process of making them.
Just been Pickman I think that you’ll be OK and I think that you will be fine. Save some of that slime for me so we can do some experiments so it can be analyzed and experimentations on it. I think that you will be OK. and I think that was a ghost daughter for torso operation or I should say that was a slim daughter goblin, but I think that you’ll be fine. We just need to analyze an experiment on that slang from the ghost gremlin.
I can answer that full particle reversal of crossing the streams. It is in fact, a scientific term for sayin it works both ways when Egon says it burst particle reversal can reverse time just like going to test it out as far as crossing the streams, that just means that the speed of light is the same when you have a portal implosion to explosion from the particles of one self so if you just chance it it could reverse time and put you back right where you were supposed to be in the doors, swings both ways one in and the other is out there’s no way that there could be too much danger of you do it by Paul reversal and hold onto too long. It could be dangerous and also going faster than the speed of light which was speed of time and the time reversal could mean disastrous, that is what Egon knew this because if you screw up time you will scrub the world itself just like with Dr. Emmett Brown saying that me and thorn into a change it timeline just like when I had you
To me about the X-Men timeline you would know you can divert time a little, but if you divert too much, it will effect be disastrous. You do remember when Logan when he went back to the time before he was in the Vietnam or just saying the Korean war effort, then I suppose that you’re right about the timeline pretty much but with the time. Throw him back where he was supposed to be before him and his brother actually was in the war, and there will be history that they all know not overlapping any timeline whatsoever just like the monkey moments That you said about that was that you have overwhelmed when it comes to the X-Men timeline? Where some people would put X-Men origins going before everything because of the age difference with James Howard, also known as Logan, Jimmy, and Wolverine so we we deserve some on answered questions being answered by you because you are good at it, and I hope that this helps you out according to how the excellent outline it is leaked with your Ghostbusters questions and answers or unanswered questions can be answered in this fashion But if you want to use my question for your preference, you always can go back and look at this but you do not have to do my version of the Taiwan because some people will put X-Men origins going first before X-Men. First class. There’s no wrong way to do it , so I hope that this helps you out but I hope that helps you out with it and here’s the question that I would like to see answered if you don’t mind Here is this
Can X-Men origins go first or is it the way that you said it according to your timeline because we did get to see some of the early versions of the Een characters like cyclops not much of storm, but we did get to see some other earlier ones but couldn’t still go first or is it going that you said it?
That is my question that I want to see answered if you do your questions and answers. I hope you make the right choice and that you don’t have to do my timeline you don’t have to. It was only an idea so you can forget it then the Deadpool films is their own scene, I saw my peas. I hope you accept it. You don’t have to do my offer or anything like that you never really came around and actually told me or asked me to not to ask you all that you were not understanding me then hopefully that you can do your unanswered questions being answered by you, so if you do then use mine And I’m sorry please be my friend again and can’t stay silent forever
If this put you back in a good graces, or me back in yours, but you have left on slime, maybe we can analyze it and experiment on it and save yourself for me
I love you my friend

The ghost BJ was hilarious!
This is my new favorite episode. I wish I could give it more than one like.
The positive charges would repel, but the magnetic field they create would pull them together. In general, the force from the electric field will always be larger, and thus, they should repel (the slower they move, the stronger the repulsion).
The word SLIMER is used in the 84 movie. " this is where we store all the vapors, entities, and SLIMERS that we trap". - Dan Aykroyd
Slimer was in the 1984 Ghostbusters game for the Commodore 64 which was then ported to every 8 bit system and worse for all of them.
But you forget the gray lady is a full torso apparition therefore she has a human appearance
Yep
it's not just that she has a human appearance as several other sprits do as well, like the zombified taxi driver.
it's that we don't have confirmation that she was tied to a human spirit. the only ones that are confirmed to be ghosts of any existing humans are the brothers.
The 11th unanswered question is why did Venkman take thorazine tranquilliser on a date with Dana.
I always wondered that myself.
I am glad you busted one before the end of the video. ;)
i always assumed the baby was a product of the whole possession thing in the first movie that's why the painting guy wanted to posses it because it was special not just a normal baby.
GREAT VIDEO JOSH, THANKS!
The new film looks good, actually quite scary too in a kid scary kind of way, also you say the cartoon is it's own continuity, wrong they actually mention the first film in the first few episodes, I havent seen it in a while butnim sure they come back covered in marshmallow too
It's own continuity where the loose events of the first film happened to these characters but it's not actually connected. You can almost argue it's continuity is branched off the first movie but the characters are all very different. Nothing that happens in the show impacts the timeline of the movies outside of providing ideas to inspire the stuff that came later.
the same events are said to have happened, but based on the notion that a lot happens after the gozer showdown that are contradicted in the second movie, it’s considered a separate continuity. plus, in the show, the ghostbusters movie is actually a movie that they get invited to the premiere of.
@@movietimelines oh yeah I forgot about that, I need to rewatch it, there was some great episodes of I remember rightly, man I used to collect the comic when I was a kid too, I think that used to have tobins spirit guide in it (in the UK), running around my school yard pretending to be Ray lol
“Bustin makes me feel good”
“Don’t cross the streams”
“He slimed me”
Getting woken up by a BJ
Ghostbusters is obviously a metaphor for being gay
My biggest question is, "Where did the gorilla go?"
Egon says that crossing the streams COULD result in total protonic reversal, and death. Never said that it would. It’s just a theory
This skit, more than any others, feels like their kinky roleplay.
sounds about right.
They can’t play Caveman & the Alien Bounty Hunter all the time
This is why I don't get about Ghostbusters after life how come there is no mention of Vigo the Carpathian in the movie?
Ghostbusters (2016) can't be worse than Night Fall (1988) or 5G Zombies.
With a $125 million budget? It very much can be.
Totally misses the point of the OGs let's just be slapstick and gross, not dry humour and wit what a shit show lol
@@diablojones No, those two movies are the worst I have ever seen. Nightfall bastardized the source material, and 5G Zombies make Sci-fi Channel movies look good.
Deciphering Ray’s ghost lingo is like translating Shakespeare 👻
Don't look at the trap is just playing into the themes of the movie. All the tech is theoretical. If you look into the trap you'll have your atoms split into a trillion pieces and spread across multiple dimensions, or your eyes might sting a bit for a few minutes.
It’s kind of like “we don’t actually know what this stuff does” kind of vibe
How much did you wamt to put the clip of Trumo looking into the exlipse right here 😂
Great video on Ghostbusters. Alot of info i didn't know about like the Ghostbusters theme taking elements from another song.
Great video!
the original cartoon series isn’t it’s own continuity !! There’s an episode in the series where they flash back to the events of the first movie . they’re shown taking off their ghostbusters suits (they had marshmello ooze from the stay-puff man on it) and change into newer costumes . hence why the costumes worn in the 80’s cartoon don’t match the ones in the movies . this is all shown in the cartoon !!!
the events of the movie did take place in the cartoon universe, although slightly differently.
there’s an episode near the end of the first season where they establish that the Ghostbusters movies is just a movie, and the characters comment on it, going so far as to make jokes about the actors playing them.
I REALLY enjoyed your ghost wife special effects, haha. Well done!
I always wondered something. When you see Ray put the cartridge/trap in the containment unit. Where does it come out? Also how many traps did the Busters have?
I have a theory that Egon had a relationship with a student at the college and they split up and agreed to not see eachother again since she was a student and he was a professor.
The notes on the board almost make it seem like she was an experiment. Like he was genuinely puzzled why seeing photos of her made his pulse increase.
Ghostbusters 2 takes place 5 years after the original. So if Dana was impregnant by Louis at the end of the original movie, Oscar would be 5 years old in GB2. For Oscar to be Peter's, Dana and Him would have had to have dated for years prior to GB2 only getting pregnant a year and change prior. So, I think it's safe to say Oscar is neither Peter's nor Louis's.
Wait... Egon is the one that did look into the trap... and he's the one who died.
Coincidences?
I never knew it was debate on them why you should never look at the Trap. I always assume that because the proton pack and the trap used nuclear power that it would probably blind you
Why did you trap that Laundry Room ghost? She was cool! ...Oh, I get it, you're just gonna bring her back up to your apartment, release her in your bedroom and continue the "Bustin'" conversation. I mean, I would!
I heard that the video game was adapted from the script for part 3. And maybe part 4? But Aykroyd couldn't manage to get them produced? I may be misremembering that tho. I'm sure someone could prove me right or wrong.
Them immediately crossing the streams on Gozer in Afterlife was so stupid. The beams did nothing to them in the first movie and crossing the streams was only used to close the gateway. Did Jason Reitman even watch the finished first movie?
But because Egon couldn’t share that knowledge, it makes sense that the other three might try it anyway. And they didn’t truly cross the streams because they didn’t turn off their criss-stream governors on the guns.
@@Ironcabbitwhat knowledge was there to share? They were all there during the first encounter, they all saw the beams pass through Gozer, and it was Egon who suggested crossing the streams to close the gateway. The whole point of even crossing the streams was to reverse the flow of the gateway with their combined power, not make some super capture beam. I hate that they’ve made “crossing the streams” into some sort of Power Rangers finisher.
That might be the cutest episode of UA I have ever watched!
Was hoping you'd have a picture of Trump looking at the solar eclipse without glasses when you said "complete and total moron".
What I would like to know is why Peter Venkman just happened to have some thorazine on him when he went for that date with Dana. If he didn't, I doubt she would have left him leave so he must have had it with him already. Did he just forget it was in his pocket or WTF was he planning, lol?
My only question is, why does busting make you feel good?
😊
You can’t say babies are ugly!
*sees Oscar*
Ok….yeah that’s an ugly baby.
2016 Ghostbusters: it's clearly bad. That being said, it felt to me like it was a vastly different movie from (bad) editing. I want to see the hypothetical director's cut before I could pass final judgement.
To the first question. Never wanted to find out but interesting
In 2016 they had froze them to have an atrocious dance scene like in the mask and cut it last min. You can see some of it in the credits.
Those songs sound nothing alike, am I the only one who thinks so?
Nope they aren't I was a kid at the time had both songs, too not once did I think, hey they sound alike
The closest they sound is certain riffs and even then only come close to sounding anything alike is if you do a mashup which half results from going out of your way to _make_ them sound alike. There’s a compilation Uncanny X did of all these different songs that sound like Elec-Man from _Mega Man_ just because of this simple dun, dun, duh-dun beat. Anybody could sue someone over that basically.
How do you get 3 from 1981 to 1990?
Thank you.
16:15 Madame! Calm yourself and show some restraint. Goodness! Also, ghosts can't do it (1990 film).
I wish there was a Ghostbusters game like pokemon go
I ain’t ‘fraid of no ghosts
I'm thinking that Egan's daughter might have been from artificial insemination and that's why he was never there but when he found out he had parental instincts kick in. Although I do have a question why do people think the events of the first movie were fake. Walter Peck gets hit what's 50 lb of marshmallow cream after Mr Stay Puft goes bye-bye
That’s the kind of ghost that makes you want to bust😃

I was kinda hoping oscar was in frozen empire and it was Paton Oswalt, but hes to old to be Oscar
👍👍
The 2016 "reboot" has nothing to do in the Ghostbusters universe, of obvious reasons. Plase ignore it in future videos.
terrible mistake of a movie. i wonder if german imperialism was popular, would hollywood and major companies pander to the nazi’s instead? my main issue is with people who claim the movie is as good or “better” than the originals. its pure political cope.
@@gavingibson8965 The fact is, the major producers in Hollywood _did_ pander to the Nazis! Quote from Wiki's article _Nazism and Cinema:_ "Using the significant economic power of German moviegoers to self-censor films globally, resulting in all but one Hollywood producers censoring films critical of Nazism and even showing news shorts of film produced by the Nazis in American theaters. No American films that were made between 1933 and 1939 were critical of Nazism, including those released domestically."
WOW! I almost thought I was watching the real thing. I enjoyed that but always remember, You must always watch out for Slimer wherever they may roam.
Gotta say I love the Hell out of your content. Any chance of a 10 unanswered questions about Punisher War Zone? Lots of plot holes in that.
i actually didn't have Punisher down as an option for Unanswered Questions, but i'll have to add it on there.
The "trap sucks your soul" theory is amazingly stupid. If the trap works jut by watching it then there will be no need for ghosts to "walk" or "float" over it, they just have to close their eyes and action it and every ghost in the room that see it would be suck. You clearly have to be in the direct contact with the light the trap emits.
If can suck your soul you would need to have your head over the light that the trap emmits not just be looking at it.
I almost thought I was on xvideos
