    As someone who is trying to write a Ghostbusters comic, these videos have been the best source of info to look at in quick video format. This was another excellent video. I wish so much that Stay Puft appeared out of the Hudson. It always seems like he just appears out of thin air in the film and game and comics.

    @nicholastosoni707 5 років тому +6

    Might be interesting to do a video on how Destructor forms work.
    My two cents: The Destructor form is something that should normally induce terror and panic. If Gozer couldn't find one person to think of something bad, it would probably go from person to person, taking little things along the way to end up with something like the thing from _Watchmen._
    Obviously, the Vuldronaii are all afraid of large, moving Torbs, and Shubs and Zuuls are terrified of Giant Sloars. Whatever these things are, they're not good.
    However, once you get to New York City, there's a lot of people who are afraid of different things. Someone's afraid of clowns; someone's afraid of pictures of molluscs; someone's terrified of spiders. So you get a giant spider with a clown head and squid's tentacles...and a few other parts.
    _Ray,_ however, hit upon the form of the marshmallow man, and his thought was so clear and so strong that it overrode everything else.

    • @TGTK-FreeSpeech-
      @TGTK-FreeSpeech- 5 років тому +2

      The Ghostbusters were tasked with willingly choosing the form of the destructor. Peter wanted nobody to chose anything, to empty their heads to prevent it, but Ray took it upon himself to choose the most harmless thing he could imagine, the Stay Puft Marshmallow man.

    The spiritual Labyrinth was beneath the museum the Hudson River the Sedgewick Hotel among other places that was meant for channel and spiritual energy at the construction of a new destructive form I'm guessing with the power to evil schindele had collected so far use the we construct a weaker destructive form for goza and resurrect him as punishment for his first failure and also evil shinda want the rest of the power to create his own destructive form that is why he was so weak and Ray speculated that he was weaker than the first encounter I'm only come across the thought that he might be being punished by shandor for his failure to destroy New York and take over but that's just a theory but the Ghostbusters game is be released for PlayStation 4 if anyone wants to play it enjoy and thank you for putting this out there I'd love this stuff

    I always considered Stay Puft and Gozer to be two different entities. That's why Gozer was a woman (the short convo between Ray, Winston and Egon talk about it when she appears*), then tells them to choose the form of the Destructor. When Ray thinks of Stay Puft, and Venkman argues that nobody thought of anything, Gozer states the "Traveler has come"
    Maybe I missed the whole transformation of Gozer becoming Stay Puft.
    * Ray: It's Gozer.
    Winston: I thought Gozer was a man
    Egon: It's whatever it wants to be

    • @goji253

      It's implied that Gozer takes the form, not some different entity. Vinz Clortho states this for example.
      Also, in the canonical Ghostbusters videogame, we see Shandor holding Gozer's skull, which clearly implies he/she died with the Marshmallow Man.

      You are the second one to say that so it's interesting that a couple of people saw them as separate. Based on Vinz Clortho: "Gozer the Traveller. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldronaii, the Traveller came as a large moving Torb! Then during the third reconciliation of the last of the Meketrex supplicants, they chose a new form for him, that of a giant Sloar! Many Shubs and Zulls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of a Sloar that day, I can tell you." And Ghostbusters the Video Game repeated calls Stay Puft as Gozer.

      @ChannelingSpirits  5 років тому +1

      One, your belief in the MTA is admirable, at best. Two, you’re dealing with a transit system in the 90’s and we cannot look at it from our modern perspective of easily texting one and another or being able to look up traffic accidents to avoid them. These were the days before Mapquest, and it is hard to say what route Winston was taking to get to Sedgewick. So let’s say by car, many people in the first movie are running from their vehicles and Stay Puft in the video game is throwing them. Not a great option if not impossible to get through by car. Maybe he is stuck on the subway with no way to escape. Or perhaps he is going by foot, there is nothing circa 91 that would likely prove he is an off-duty Ghostbuster which would allowed him on-scene of a rampaging marshmallow man. So four hours in New York? Not unrealistic.
