- February 8th, 2019, 2:58 am#4913872How would I fix GB:ATC? Well, I would have more Egon's, Ray's and Winston's and way less Venkman's in each character. Not everyone can be the comic relief. I did enjoy the story and the movie overall. Just that the plot didn't seem very well thought out other than we have a human who is charging the lines, bringing ghosts into the world and we must have a huge fight scene between the Ghostbusters and a large assortment of ghosts. I would have toned down the big fight scene and had more of a fight between the GB's and Rowan/Kevin. It just seemed like their battle was rushed and they made him way to powerful. The dance sequence with him taking over the federal agents, pure genius but it got old quick. If anything, he should have used them as shields against the GB's and they would have to figure out how to get past them without hurting them. That's what I would have done.
Way more romance, which they could have done. They could have had a romantic triangle going on with Erin and her bf, if they didn't just write him off after she lost her position at Columbia. It would have been interesting to see that with Kevin and her bf vying over Erin, which I think should have been done. Instead they made Erin into some weird cougar pining after a younger man. Kevin, I wouldn't have made him so dumb, and I would have had him as the delivery guy for the Chinese place. Before you say anything, I have some seen really hunky guys delivering for places like that while pursuing other avenues. Being New York, I would have had him as a wannabe model and actor trying to get his big break.
That's just some of my ideas. Linking the universes would be easy. But I won't go into that here. One of the other things that made the original GB's movies, they weren't just comedies. They had suspense, horror and excitement in them. Something missing in this version. Like the opening of GB1 with the librarian. That scene is suspenseful and can be downright scary if you don't know what's coming. Then the scene where Dana is taken in her apartment. I don't need to say anymore, but I think you all get the picture. Where was this level in the GB:ATC? It didn't have most of this, it was mostly written to be a comedy with GB elements.
