    Quick reminder that this cast went to hospital for dying kids in ghostbuster uniforms.

    You really gonna stand by that?

      That’s a really awesome thing they did and I respect it a lot.

      I don’t think that changes the quality of the movie though, right? Unless you mean like, “They wouldn’t have done that if the movie hadn’t been made, so it’s a good movie by merit of having enabled the cheering up of one specific group of dying children”? Because I suppose you could make that argument, but I don’t know if many folks would agree with “the butterfly effect” as a metric for movie quality.

        It’s a case of being tone-deaf, along with clearly sexist characters, how much of a bimbo did they make the male lead? Yeah, not as progressive as you want to pretend.

          I’m agreeing with you that the problem wasn’t women. Also Hemsworth’s character was incessantly annoying, I’ve literally never heard someone praise that performance.

            Agreed, I liked the girls roles they had a spark between them and good characters, but it doesn’t stop the fact people would call the film problematic if it was a woman on Chris’s role. It did have glaring sexist issues.
