Please don't let this negativity distract you from the fact that Hulk Hogan body-slammed Andre the Giant on March 29th 1987 at the Pontiac Silverdome during Wrestle Mania 3 in front of 93,137 people!

Hey Alpha. I knew you were useful for something. Thanks for reminding me that the IDW Comic Universe has been infected by that Reboot Cancer. I will now collect all my GB Comics and shred them or throw them in my backyard fire pit to burn.

No brocolli suit. You have this all wrong........... Remember the movie version of Dragnet (yes the one with Danny Boy). I will be wearing the P.A.G.A.N. Leader's goat's head costume. Burning these comic books is still a sacrificial ceremony, you know. Hence, the need for the P.A.G.A.N. outfit. Feel free to join us by dancing around the fire in your goat skin pants (mandatory wear).

Oh please get off your high horse. Just to prove to you that I am not completely heartless to the Reboot Scum, I offer the little news tidbit that all you Pro Reboot Prople are all clamoring for. Something that we, my franchise members and me, have been sitting on the past month and why I am so bitter and hateful to not only the fans of F-busters, but all Ghostbusters:

".........Ectoforce Force is not what you think. No original stuff. We have seen some preliminary storyboards when they were shown to Reitman. Chew on this. The title is Ghostbusters: Ectoforce 2040. Basically copies the storyline of Extreme Ghostbusters. The crazy Holtzman chick is the new Egon mentor to a new team of Ghostbusters. There is a white girl who is her field commander. A Latina/mixed race girl. A Indian guy who is a techno-nerd. And a black, mechanic guy who is related to the loud-mouth subway worker. I guess they are both from Da Streets of New York! There is a fifth member who is also a book nerd researcher type. As for tech, think jet packs. Think Iron Man type blasters and targeting helmets. Think flying Ecto Mobile with opening roof and launch pad. Think dimensional trap where to put ghosts. Looks way to far fetched, but they are aiming this at kids. Also, think possible cross over with TMNT. Yeah, those TMNTs."

Later y'all. Time for me to burn Comics and other GB stuff. Sell my props while they are worth something. And all that crap. You all Rebooters can have the GB Fandom now. It is oblivious that there is nothing more Sony and GB can offer the fans of the original GB Movies. I am following where the fans and the money is.....Star Wars.

Well Extreme Ghostbusters was going to be a completely different kind of show than what it turned out to be. A lot of changes can happen during the concept stage. I was hoping they would steer away from the rebooted universe. In those respects I certainly share your frustration. Believe me I was as disappointed with the latest film as much as a person could be disappointed, but I do have faith that the franchise is do for a win. With so many projects being worked on somethings got to sit well eventually. :):):)

Considering the Beauty and the Beast live action movie has the same feminist tampering as the reboot movie that is strange. Maybe the Disney movie appeals to kids more.

You went out of your way to complain about the reboot in a thread mostly dedicated to future of the franchise, which at the moment (based on Reitman's recent interview), is the Ecto Force animated series, a potential animated film, and a potential live-action film which may or may not be a continuation of the Answer the Call arm of the franchise.

Meanwhile, you feel the need to call Answer the Call "Reboot cancer" and "Reboot scum", and say that by embracing it the IDW comic universe "has been infected". I stand by my remark that you're being pathetically melodramatic.


I agree that Ecto Force sounds a bit far-fetched from the initial concept you've described, but there's always the likelihood it'll be toned down and refined by the time the show goes to air. I appreciate the information you've posted about it, you should've lead with that instead of saying you'd go burn copies of Ghostbusters 101 in a fire pit.

So pot's legal in the Netherlands? Cool. I've never tried it myself. Even medical use isn't legal here, although those laws pretty much go unenforced.

You can buy it, but not​ grow as far I know, but I don't even smoke cigarettes, so don't trust me for details.

Dutch ComicCon was a blast. Hooked up with the Dutch Buster group to see if I can help out (by filming or designing) in future endeavors.

Oh I'd never smoke a cigarette. They have over 4,000 chemicals, 43 of which are known to cause cancer! Besides I'm not big on the smell (understatement).

I'm glad the ComicCon went well!

If that Ecto Force description is at all accurate I'm down for giving it a go. RGB was my jam and that went to some bizarre places so a new cartoon is always welcome.

TBF when I heard the time period it's proposed to be set my mind did automatically jump to a more tech based Ghostbusters and they'd want some connective tissue so Holtzmann seemed like the obvious choice age wise to use so it's not a massive leap to assume it's one route they'd consider taking.

Just a quick question @Goldenhawk if indeed yee are still here, nobody has ever been able to give a clear answer when asked, what is it about Ghostbusters going in a direction you don't like that makes you feel the need to abandon the franchise altogether, even the part of it which you previously enjoyed? Just curious because almost all the things I love have taken turns which I've not been so keen on in the past (Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Turtles....Slimer and the real Ghostbusters even for example) and I've always maintained a love for what came before.

Sometimes I feel It's this flying of the handle attitude that will never get you what you want, if a studio feels they've already lost you why would they bother even trying to cater to you?

When Force Awakens came out I was really put off by all of the commercialism surrounding it, so much so that I had trouble enjoying the franchise for a while. I'm not usually put off by commercialism, but this was one of those cases. Anyways, I took a good long look at the original trilogy and realized there was no reason to not enjoy them because of something that was happening currently.

I think that will die down somewhat once we get a few more films, both of those times they were letting the world know Star Wars was back, by the time of Revenge of the Sith and recently with Rogue One it got a lot more muted on the merch pushing front....that said I was a sucker for it all in the prequel era and still got caught up in the hype this time around (although my wallet didn't take quite as big a hit!)

I am sworn not to respond to "Goldenhawk's" posts (for which I am infinitely thankful), but just going by that quoted text, I don't see what's especially bad about the alleged spoilers. And I'm not just defending it "because diversity." Extreme had diversity but I honestly don't see why it's so popular now (other than it got cancelled early and that can inspire a cult classic mentality).

I know right? I am hoping that they are still ironing out details. I was hoping for something that had several teams of Ghostbusters already established and even if not directly connected with either universe, would pull elements from both and be something that feels very much in tune with Ghostbusters.

Having Holtzman be the Mentor in this new series is a bit of an insult to the ATC crew. It is almost saying that the ATC crew aren't good enough to have their own cartoon before passing the torch. It's bad enough that the 2016 video game tie in did that.

On the other hand if Goldenhawk's description is legit, I will happily accept it as long as the original Ghostbusters continue to thrive in the IDW comic book. If the Ghostbusters world does indeed to grow in the comic, Ecto Force will just be another area that is open for crossover potential. Like Eric said , "So many Ghostbusters." :):):)
