That really is the icing on the cake, isn't it? Fembusters doesn't even acknowledge that the original Trio existed and yet somehow a movie about or involving Egon, Ray, Peter and Winston is obligated to include the Fembusters.

The first one had an evil god, the second one had a sort of Vlad the Impaler type sorcerer-ghost fueled by liquid hate, what kind of angle do you think they might go for the big bad in film 3?

Feminists being hypocrites and demanding special treatment in the name of equality, surely you jest.

I do wish they hadn't used the "people being awful causes evil to grow in physical form" in the second one. Put that in present day and make it tied to the internet and you have a worldwide phenomena. Just change "this city" to "this world" and you have a screenplay.

Didn't some old script for Ghostbusters 3 have the Ghostbusters face off against the devil in the form of a Trump-like businessman? That would suddenly appear to be topical.

Eh, it would have been funny today if they had made it in the 90's and we could look back at the devil being Trump. But making it now and making it topical will just ruin it. They tried doing that with 2016, doing reshoots to insert jokes about them being harassed online for being women and it was easily the worst jokes in a film with plenty of choose from.

Don't throw politics in to Ghostbusters. Except for commenting on the lack of genitalia EPA employees have, that has always been fair game.
