Ghostbusters worked.

Also Gallup says 60% of the public dislikes Kaep.

Ghostbusters failed not because of the alt-right but because it was a shitty movie.

True but the problem wasn't the special effects in the movie, it was that it was a comedy movie which...wasn't funny.

Transformers.

Also critics were down on their knees for it.

I find the idea of burning something you already gave them your money for to be funny. If I really felt that way, I'd sell it and try to get some of my money back. It kind of reminds me of all those morons who virtue-signaled by cutting the barrel of of their AR-15s (not a cheap rifle by any means) and only actually succeeded in creating an illegal short-barrelled rifle that could well have gotten them arrested for their trouble.

it had a redeeming feature. I loved Chris Hemsworth's work, he was funny. . Not enough to sit through it a second time. But enough to not throw my friend's Blu-ray of the movie away.

I have nothing against the cast and give them props for giving it their all but the script was terribad.

I think it also failed at being a feminist interpretation because it actually was more sexist in some ways because all of the women were complete goofballs and "The Ray." The original Ghostbusters had Sigourney Weaver not as a Ghostbuster but as a serious professional who took her danger seriously. Everything was just a bit too...silly.

The Alt-Right is dangerous but that's because they're desperate to prove themselves. It's the poseurs who you need to worry about.
