21:03 "You know, I just can't believe things have gotten so bad with fanbases that there's no way back. I mean, I know we're geeky, we obsess over little things, and we probably get too invested. But we've gone from being bullied in our lives to being bullies ourselves."
Such an armor piercing statement.
Yeah
But for the most part it's not the same people. With the rise of 'geek chic' and the cult of nostalgia, a lot of people who were never geeks or fans in their youth are now, be sure it's popular. Comic book movies are mainstream successes, and gaming is a normal activity for everyone, but those who were ostracised as geeks before, are still ostracised as the wrong sort of geek now, as the new rush of people either scrabble to establish their own in groups and out groups, or simply crush the older fans under weight of numbers.
Gotta be honest, I'm not sure I've ever met anyone crueler (in the pettier ways at least) than some of the 'oldschool' geeks.
A bunch of 'em are great people, but I've been at this for some years, and seen some heinous shit from far too many people who should know better. Enough that it seems, eh... naive, to play No True Scotsman.
That's a great message and all, sorry if I sound like a dick, but it's kind of off when people being called misogynists wasn't the community being dicks to each other, but the people behind the movie and Sony. I'm sorry, but Doug didn't do the controversy justice, Midnight's Edge made a few good videos explaining it. Though this video did remind me of how on the Internet, no one cares about opinions and everyone likes to have pissing contests instead of acting like mature adults.
I like this phrase so much that I noted it
Remember when the Ghostbusters argument was the dumbest thing that had happened all year? Good times...
I member...
shuichiboy A time like that existed?
Technically it's still happening if you read the comments of the Ghostbusters trailer.
yes but PEEEENNIIIS
Better to go down fighting that surrendering like that pussy Osama-Obama would have - apologizing and bowing to his Islamic brothers the whole time......
“I need a break while I cry for humanity” no relatable words have ever been spoken
Yeap and while you do that. You look at some far away and think " wow we are so screwed..."
Everyone in 2020
“no relateable words have ever been spoken” well... close enough.
Agreed!!!!!!
"No relatable"??
The Black Willy Wonka segment is EXCELLENT: "Media was once used to enhance your life; now, it's replaced it." and "turning them into whiny little babies," was a dead on description of what has been happening, as was your summary: "The internet....It's consuming your lives, making you paranoid & stupid!"
So weird to read that as someone who isn't terminally online, but I see what you mean. That explains why I clash with people who think bad movies are a sign of society decay, when, well, there just bad movies!😂
Social commentary
19:09 "Media was once used to enhance your life. Now it has replaced it."
Damn thats deep. Especially considering I am watching youtube videos at 2 am in the morning.
Literally same
I read that right when it hit 2 am here lmao.
Noneofyour Business holy shit ..read this 2 am.........O.O
3:49 AM for me...
It's 2:08 AM for me. I WANTED to get to bed at 10, and I haven't even watched some of the vids I've been planning on watching for months. lol
Making a level headed and even keeled review that accurately criticizes everyone that was throwing a hissy fit on either side of this argument was no small feat. Bravo
I especially like the return of Rachel for that scene. Puts all the people going nuts into perspective. If this movie is exciting kids and inspiring a whole new generation of Ghostbusters, then it at least did something good.
Yeah, that moment was really sweet.
If they're one thing I can say is at least he was honest about how he felt with how both sides were overacting. I personally didn't see the film and said I wouldn't because it looked bad to me and was a poor attempt at a reboot that did not need to exist. But if people liked the film more power to them I guess.
I agree touching in on topics of a controversial status without leaning towards a side is challenging. This and making a review in all of it.
I must admit this was a AMAZING review
“Why don’t we go complain about real shit?”
The phrase the whole internet can learn from
I totally need that on a t-shirt.
Vs... why can't we complain about shitty things? ?? What? ... if I go to a shitty restaurant and get a shitty meal with shitty service.. I have a right to write a shitty review.. it doesn't make me a whiny loser unless what I said is a lie. .. otherwise. .. the establishment needs to change!
@@doomguy8324 What can't it just go out of business? In a world where humans & animals suffer immensely all over the world in countless senseless ways, your review of a shitty restaurant is astoundingly insignificant. How much better if you put effort into eliminating food waste? (40% of food in the U.S. is wasted.) That would help to feed hungry people while putting FAR less strain on the natural world to grow, process, package, & transport food that just ends up in our landfills producing methane. Oh, I know why people defend your "right" to complain! Because you have the LUXURY of being able to go to a restaurant in the first place & because solving REAL problems is HARD. It takes EFFORT to learn about problems, to find people working toward solutions, to come up with innovative ideas, to educate other people. That's all too much WORK! Complaining on the internet is easy. So you delude yourself into thinking you have an obligation to complain in order to make their restaurant improve or "change" or some other nonsense. Did you speak to the manager or owner of the restaurant to voice your complaint in person? No. Because you're a COWARD. You only complain when you can hide behind the anonymity of the internet. If you really want to help a restaurant improve, then talk to the people at the restaurant instead of posting a review that they may never see!
This comment should be at the top of the comments. It should have a lot more likes. There are so many REAL problems in the world, but people on the internet feel so ENTITLED! They're entitled to give their opinion. They're entitled to hate OTHER people for having a THEIR opinions! They're entitled to try to make a movie fail. They're entitled to harass fans who like something they don't like instead of just letting them enjoy it. They're entitled to insult people. They're entitled to manipulate the audience vote (by either review bombing or deliberately inflating the ratings on movies for their own agenda rather than giving honest & fair reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes based on their hate & prejudice so that RT audience scores can no longer be trusted by many of us. They feel entitled to have all movies made JUST FOR THEM & if a movie isn't made for them, then they feel entitled to give it a bad rating & bash it in comment sections out of spite. They feel entitled to complain when they are not the center of the universe. That is the mental maturity of a 2-year-old. If I were a studio exec, I'd deliberately ignore such negative, hostile, mean-spirited, entitled fans.
@@DonnaBrooks sounds great donna, really does. Cept this is how we talk to the restaraunt owner... what you want us to do email em? Call em on the phone? Not an option. Besides these reviews help spread the word and show others the awful political agendas behind these scumbag con artists.
21:04 This speech can apply to Star Wars too. It’s sad how it’s full of hate instead of love now.
^^
True.
Cept the mandolorian and clone wars season finale kinda makes your argument mute
@@ImmaLittlePip not really, the Star Wars Fandom is a really big Fandom, there are still a few people who disliked the Mandalorian, the Clone Wars finale is the only one that is widely loved (or at least widely non-disliked) Star Wars Content in recent years
@@caderen5624 the Mandalorian blew TCW finale out of the water in terms of number of viewers.
Bill Murray didn't give his blessings for the film, he was actually strong armed by a Sony, with threats of a lawsuit, to make a cameo.
Oh man, Malkovich's Gaming Guilty Pleasure. Good times. Yeah, I know, #unrelated.
I love your profile pic.
Well, I could of guessed when he said the original Ghostbusters didn't do flips when the protopacks were like 250 pounds, I would love to see someone being able to do that. And not to mention that the beams had a kick in every shot.
I did not get the action in ghostbusters. Shooting them kills the ghosts? Cause it felt like bullets and fists, they just tried to make it badass, but if you were to think between the original and the remade. Well, it feels better to know they carry packs that could tear fabric of spacetime with their nuclear powered photopacks.
Bill didn't want to touch the Ghostbusters series ever again, regardless of if it was a faithful re imagining or not
ritrunnero
He did though, with the Ghostbusters 3 (the video game), and it followed the original Ghostbusters 3 movie script. That game is a bit of a interactive game with the original voice cast.
Translation: hate it, and people will hate you.
like it, and people will hate you.
You can only choose one.
It seems as though you haven’t chosen I don’t care
I CHOOSE, both. I haven't even seen the damn thing, i just want to PISS EVERYONE THE FUCK OFF!!!!
Also, Greedo shot first 😁
Hate it and like it people will hate you
Sounds about right.
Bad pop cultural thing: *exists*
Black Willy Wonka: I did it
I'm a feminist and I didn't like the movie. It sucked because of the writing, cliches, and stereotypes. Just because something has women doesn't mean you have to support it. So long as you don't hate it *because* it has women, it's not sexist lmao. I supported the concept but the final product was shit.
My problem with the movie wasn't that it was women. One of the problems I had with it was it seemed almost written as a response to the who misogyny issue, the gamergate controversy. I love the fact that it was women in the leading roles, but they were not good characters. Male or female, these are supposed to be role models to young girls arn't they? How would you define the characters? Dumb, jerk, douche, gadfly, troll, ass, done.
I didn't see it because I didn't have time (looking for a stable job).
The main actresses looked like they were bringing something interesting to the table, but then I realized it was a big corporate attempt to revive a groundbreaking franchise of the past.
Instead of making the new Ghostbusters all girls, maybe they should've had more main actors (of both defined genders in scientific sense i.e. which reproductive organs defined body gender), maybe make romantic interests between some of them, and some ghosts actually trying to drive a wedge between the team so their big master plan would look like it would go off unhindered.
But the final product looks like it wanted to cause unrest and hatred in the online community.
David Cappadoccia When it comes to the dislike for this movie the only thing I strongly disagree with are the racial attacks aimed at Leslie Jones. The people sending her racist tweets and harassing Melissa McCarthy for her weight are despicable. They're actresses playing roles written for them and are not responsible for the movie being bad, so I do believe the irrational hate aimed at them from that Milo guy & his followers is sexist. But I digress. The movie was terrible, but I have no issue with the actresses.
I'm a feminist too, and I liked the movie in a guilty pleasure kind of way, haha. What I don't understand though is why some feminists feel like they have to worship this movie because the men were changed to women, I found the idea really great, but so much effort went into saying this was a gift to women. Like I would personally just like an ORIGINAL GOOD movie where the main characters were women, not just a gender bent version of another movie. Idk those were my thoughts.
I am of the opinion that Paul Feig has created something of a special grey area where it might not be sexist to hate THIS one specific movie because women were cast in the roles. Yes, your statement is accurate in general, but if it has women for the specific express purpose of pandering then I think Paul Feig is being sexist and thus if you hate it for his pandering sexism then you are safe. (That is the trick to landing in that grey area. It is still possible to be sexist if you hate it because it has women and not because it is pandering to women with its casting choices.)

Agreed. And what's worse, fans STILL think they are in the right here

Sometimes the the internet needs a poke, other times it needs an atom bomb. This is because sometimes the only thing that can cut through the vitriol and the rage is to point out how absurd things have gotten. Yeah the message in the review can be considered preachy. To be honest with the world the world has become more jaded. Is that the fault of the critics and the artists? No. Is it the fault of the art forms? again no. Here in the US we were just getting better at understanding each other through the internet, back in the 90's, when we found out government was and will always be corruptible and money is a five letter synonym. We also had to deal with the aftermath of finding out that after 70 years, we were as vulnerable as everyone else to terrorism. So has the world gotten worse or the people in it? again not giving any answers because the as a species we are one colossal dysfunction junction.

Can we please applaud Nostalgia Critic for tackling fandom hate and discourse in a mature way? *applauds*
Mature? Did you watch the same video that I did?!
I just wish everyone in TLOU 2 fandom watched this video
I applaud this man for everything. Even for Shayamalan month.
No because this wasnt a fandom issue. This movie was a smear campaign against men. It was a hate peice created by a douche bag who wants to be a woman, and it used a good movie to do it. Critic missed ALL of that.
@@doomguy8324 You. Are. An. Idiot.
This was incredibly cathartic to watch, and I don't even care about the Ghostbusters franchise. His point is every bit as applicable to the Star Wars franchise, which I do care about.
(Note to self: Don't constantly challenge people who don't like The Last Jedi. The only way I can contribute to un-dividing the fanbase is by being respectful of others' opinions.)
even that doesn't really work sometimes
I thought The Force Awakens was okay, I liked The Last Jedi, and I haven't seen The Rise of Skywalker yet, and I'm not excited to watch it when hearing all that I'm hearing about it. But you know what I wish? What I really, REALLY wish is that next time I'm playing Star Wars Jedi Knight, or watching a fanmade CZcams short movie, or bing-watching any the Mandalorian, people won't bring up conversations about all the wrongs that were done somwhere in the past. Just once, JUST, ONCE, I want to enjoy Star Wars like it was always meant to be enjoyed, and not just used in a debate on how to properly do franchises by memorizing every single time someone felt remotely hurt by it. The day that watching fun franchises become nothing but political debates about how entertainment works, is the day where religion is used only as an excuse to lecture people about how to live their lives.

I was planning on seeing this movie eventually, but got pissed off by Feig and Sony constantly playing the misogyny card
I think the movie is still worth the watch, they don't pull any of the "all haters are sexist" crap in the actual movie. They don't really mention it aside from one line about internet comments that I missed on the first watch
Lily Welsh I might just wait until I can rent the movie from Redbox
cool!
The movie was fine but yeah the CZcams commenters and Sony Responses are both to blame for this mess. Idk maybe in a few years or so when this all boils down Ghostbusters 2016 will be looked at more reasonably. Or fans will be so furious they'll give it the Godfather 3 treatment
Ben Wasserman Seeing how it's doing at the BO, I don't think this movie will be remembered to fondly
I love how he said, you can still believe in equal rights and think this movie sucks.
I'm pretty sure that's how all the sane people were thinking.
Hopefully Ghostbusters Afterlife will right the wrongs
It fucking will

Leslie Jones when on a full feminazi tirade about the newest reboot because she was pissed that it would possibly replace the 2016 movie she was in.
I have a feeling it will be pretty good.
I love when the scissors comes out it plays Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 am Mvt Friska in the background.
regardless what people think about the movie, it's still a fact that this movie is a flop domestically and internationally
You don't know what the definition of flop is, then, because it made a profit. It wasn't huge, but it certainly wasn't a flop.
I don't like the movie, but I try to stick to actual facts instead of just making shit up off the top of my head because it makes me feel better.
#JackSparrowIsCancerBecauseHe'sATerriblyWrittenCharacterThatOnlyHighlightsYourHypocrisyBecauseSparrowTropesWeren'tEvenFuckingOriginalWhenTheCharacterWasInventedAndDidEvenLessUniqueThingsThanTheCharacterizationInGhostbusters
But I guess that's not as marketable, so continue to be a regular internet idiot incapable of actually analyzing your own position. I mean, You got quite a few thumbs ups! That must be fulfilling.
No it was a flop it was a 70 million dollar loss. look it up.
I don't think you understand the definition of a flop. This movie hasn't even broken even yet. The box office numbers do not equal profit to Sony. First off, those numbers are the total amount brought in by the theaters, which a good chunk of that stays with the theaters themselves. Second, those numbers also include free tickets that Sony gave away as part of their marketing promotion, which is profit to the theaters, but even further loss to Sony.
Last I checked, this movie was at ~$180 million worldwide. It has been stated that it needs to gross a bare minimum of $300 million just to break even, and even that number is extremely low (I would argue it's closer to $400 million for the break even point). The director, Paul Fieg, is on record stating that it needs to gross *at least* $500 million to make a profit, and even that is an extremely low number, when you factor in the marketing costs associated with it (including the aforementioned free tickets).
This movie is still a flop, and it's unlikely that it will even reach the break-even point.
ThePizzaMan See I hate the movie and it was a flop but its people like you and stupid comments like that, that give them the excuse that people only hate The shitty movie because they are sexist. Way to make all of us smart people look bad. Fucking tool.
This is the best review of the movie I've seen. All the other ones either have hate and rage while others think it was really good. This one addressed both sides and I enjoy that. I personally couldn't find anything that bothered me to much in the movie, so having that nice balance where I could agree with some of your opinions and see the flaws of the movie, make my personal favorite review. However I think that Dan Akryod cameo was funny even with the "I ain't afraid of no ghost" line.
It's great because you usually don't see both sides of the argument, even on the internet. Both sides never directly speak to one another. They just place their opinion in all caps. I didn't understand why so many people were upset with this remake and not so many others? I, too, considered it to be something like an alternative world where new people took on the role of Ghostbusters. I had a feeling he was going to do this review and I'm glad he got both (or all three) sides of the "controversy".
At least I didn't see it...Too much drama...

I got the impression that they were struggling to keep the beam under control in the original. Since they were unlicensed nuclear accelerators, they likely were still experimental and extremely powerful.
Best cameo that happend because of the new Ghostbusters was the cameo of Rachel.
yep, she seems to be doing good for herself modeling and such but great to see that she hasn't forgotten the Critic or the crew (not that I would think she would forget)
That warmed my heart that she'd never let moving away get in the way of her origins.
I'm glad he got Rachel for this occasion makes me happy you could even say nostalgic
Ahh, I see what you did there. XD
But yeah, thank you Rachel for the cameo! We love and miss you so much! Hope your current career is treating you well, and that you'll always pop into a review every so often to make us squee in joy. Love you always! :)

I still confused why this channel doesn't have over 1 million subs yet
short answer: CZcams
WALTR shorter answer: Internet
Why? Because he reviewed Ghostbusters 2016 and didn't tear it a new A-hole?
Derp Derpington i like NC but its honestly not for everyone
His new videos are funny anymore. It like he took the beginning set up scene and the ending actual review part and then removed the funny part that was just him
Doug makes awesome funny and clever reviews like 90% of the time. I’m sick of all the hate on him. And it makes me mad he hasn’t gained any subscribers in a long time. They’ve been stuck at 1.18 mill for a really long time. It hasn’t gone up at all most this year. He deserves more subs. Keep up the awesome work channel awesome!
"Are those clown fishes swimming around your boobalas..." best line in the review
How I would fix the movie
1. Have a funnier cast like Tina Fey, Amy Poeler, Regina King, and Anna Farris
2. Have this film set in the same universe as the original. Maybe Venkman, Ray, and Winston are still good friends and in business but they're starting to decline due to their age catching up with them. So they start looking for replacements.
3. Have the leader be the daughter of Egon, he passed away but taught her everything she needs to know about ghosts so she follows in his footsteps.
4. Have the original cast mentor the new team.
5. Have the villain be someone more interesting and funnier
6. Make the humor much more natural and less obnoxious
7. Show that the new team all have particular skills and personalities that they bring to the table like maybe one is a former Marine, one is a psychic, one is a scientist and the other is an engineer.
"THERE I FIXED THE MOVIE!"
I would definitely watch that
Already sounds way better
This sounds like a film I'd definitely love to watch. Sounds like a more fun Ghostbusters film than this. And why not make it a tough PG-13 to have a natural comedy similar to the original?
Now that sounds like a great movie! I've never even seen any of the Ghostbusters, but I would go see that. Maybe even twice.
The bad guy should be Satan. He doesn't get his souls because the Ghostbusters are catching them and locking them away. So we wants revenge and kill the original cast. Harold was first then Bill Murray. Ernie is Mayor, making the city aware once he was killed. A new cast takes their place and save the day.

I respect everyone's opinion..... But I personally thought this film was FAR below average. I hated every minute of it and I'm surprised by its high score on rotten tomatoes. But to each their own, just really tired of being called a sexist for hating it.
You probably haven't been called a sexist unless you were being sexist in your critique. But please, continue on with your vague criticisms that make you feel better about yourself. I mean, why bother actually responding to critics when you can just insult them and belittle them instead, effectively doing the same exact thing you're bitching about?
Grow up, you hypocritical child.
I also hate the film, but I'm not an idiot when I criticize it.
+gaiusgrdn Ugh why are you so angry?? Who did I belittle?? I really don't understand what the hell you are talking about. All I said was that I hated it and was surprised it got a high RT score. Why did that make you so upset?? Out of all the comments on this video, you choose mine to go crazy over?? I think you're the one being childish. Sorry you took it wrong and got so upset, but I ask you please, do not out words in my mouth. I didn't bad mouth or belittle anybody.

+Josh OpieOP yep, it could have been good, but it's One Of the Worst Movie Remakes and Sony started a sex war! At least the CEO's of Sony & Activision are in front of me excuse me, F#%k the game (muffled gunshot)
AJ:Just like Gears Of War, you stole my kill.
Delrith: at least it was silent.
Angry GBF's: (Chanting, cheering)
Honestly one of the best commentaries on a fanbase/fandom I’ve ever seen.
This video explains 2020 in a nutshell
Why is no one commenting about Rachel? I love that she was in this. I miss her d:
I was wondering if thats who that was...was skimming the comments to see if anyone mentioned that it was!
Agreed. She's awesome
she tweeted a few moknths ago that how long it had been since she left.i replied that maybe she should do another episode soon.I dont remember correctly if she replied or liked the tweet. But Eversince then I had been waiting for this.But when I saw this episode when it was uploaded I was blown away by how good it was and didnt even notice rachel.I was distracted by All the stuff going on and the return of black willy wonka and the devils daughter.Later I thought that the devils daughter is played by Rachel and I put 2 and 2 together was like How did I miss that.
Well, I do miss her too but she's been gone for too long.
Probably because when this channel hit it's popularity Rachel wasn't in this no more...She was mostly on the other channel that got taken down...That's why most people aren't talking about her.
That intro skit really says a lot about society. Well done!
So true. *nods*
Aged like milk
@@gavinsfriend3901It perfectly aged . People still act like this when a "controversial" movie comes out from a popular franchise
I forget about the traffic cone joke every time I watch. Gold.
The overall message of this review is so inspiring.
"Ghostbusters 2016 had better action than the Original"
Maybe because Ghostbusters isn't an action franchise, it's a comedic Sci Fi franchise.
The excitement isn't suppose to be about doing flips and punching ghosts, it's suppose to be about the tension of the scene, the stakes of the outcome.
It's fine if this movie did something different so it could stand on it's own legs, but don't compare the action sequence to a non action film.
Well true.
so did EXTEME ghostbusters
Extreme Ghostbusters wasn't trying to remake the original movie, it was its own series within the same universe. If the new movie wasn't trying to bank on nostalgia so much, it could have been something new and different. That's probably one of the biggest problems with remakes, they don't try to do their own thing but instead try to cash in on what made the original great. And that is the feeling I got when I watched the new movie.
the lack of action and skill in the original is admirable. it shows that they're just starting off and are obviously not that good at what they do and at the end of the day they're just some normal guys. its kinda stupid to just make them masters at what they do right from the start.
Of course there is no action. These are scientists not martial arts masters, ex special forces and this certainly isn't the matrix. These are guys that have a hard enough time walking around with those heavy proton packs on their backs. I mean are we really supposed to take 4 women who hardly look like they take physical fitness seriously when they are doing flips and shit? That would make sense in a movie like Mallcop but not Ghostbusters. Seriously, when did they have the time to make this new gear? So many things this movie does so horribly wrong for something that has the Ghostbusters name. If this had been its own movie with its own story and its own way of doing things it could have been great. They could still have had the cameos and occasional nods to Ghostbusters without constantly reminding us that its trying to be Ghostbusters but not Ghostbusters at the same time. Its clear that the makers wanted to do something different and by all rights it should have been something different.
Can we agree that the trailer is crap?
Yes
That I think everybody can agree with.
Yes, worst than the movie.
Yeah, the trailer was shit.
yes makes a trafroms movie look good
I love how even though black willy wonka is clearly a psychopath at this point, NC still says, “Black Willy Wonka…!” Like a kid surprised at seeing Santa Claus or something
Ghostbusters: Afterlife trailer comes out, many have already forgotten, now most have forgiven.🤣
This is why I stay off of Twitter.
Ryan Dooley thank you. At least someone agrees with me
+Michael Rhett YOUR'E A ROCKSTAR
How could you forget Tumblr?!
Miguel L tumblr is worse
i like 4 chan, but i won't knock you for not having the same views as me.
This movie was bad. Not terrible or horrible, or childhood ruining, just bad. 3/10.
Ign too much ghosts.
The ruin your childhood thing is getting pretty old, nothing can ruin a childhood unless your parents were just dicks to you.
^this
I thought it was average
I may not be in to the series but I tried to be open minded, but it was to Embarrassing and to much cringe
Me and my sister saw it together, after having seen the original in the theaters when we were very young, and were both so disappointed. We both said the same thing: "They should have opened with the original crew, then had their daughters take over because they were getting too old for this s**t."
23:04 this speech is something that I think now more than ever needs to be said
I honestly can't believe this channel still doesn't have a million subs
Decline in quality will do that to a Channel.
Probably because they suffered from having their entire channel terminated before because of a copyright strike.
you do realize this is a very recent video right
Nat A To be fair this video was decent but alot of posts were deleted, if it was C.A or fake reports i cant say but anything mildly not agreeing was removed. "I aint afraid of no post." I unsubbed because of it awhile ago but im revisting these videos.
Must of been fake reports, my comments are here!
Critic, the proton packs were heavy as fuck and the original movie never HAD an action focus. The climax was that they might blow up and die. Doing cartwheels with what is essentially a miniature nuclear powerplant on your back is stupid, much like the decisions on this movie. Can we also agree nothing really stopped little girls from pretending to be Ghostbusters? Like, I've seen girls pretend to be Ghostbusters before this movie.
It comes completely out of nowhere doesn't it?
Nothing in this movie implies heaviness
Nah it's just that watching 3 minutes of people pointing sticks isn't fun to watch.
+Not Tyler Joseph it was suspensful, if you take in the fact that they most likely could blow up.
I think its because there was more of a social stigma in the way kids have things that boys do and things that girls do. Sure some would do it regardless, but a lot of people would keep the fact they fans of an 80s film about these 4 older guys hunting ghosts. Its like how a lot of people who like anime are embarrassed to admit it because they don't want to be judged. No would one would expect a guy to like My Little Pony before but because of the large number of outspoken fans its sort of acceptable though I think there is still a stigma.
This is literally the mcu fanbase with the She-Hulk series
Damn bro the jokes in this video are funnier than the movie
But ghostbusters 3 did happen, it's the video game from 2009.
+Dixieland jazz This has nothing to do with Ghibi
24:03 ~ 24:12.
+Tommy the gamemaster by far.
If you're referring to Owen's picture, that's from one of Rumiko Takahashi's works. It's the titular Ranma 1/2.
Someone being delusional moron
Doug absolutely nailed this one.
+VideoCopierCenteral rape culture?! I haven't said anything about rape?!
+VideoCopierCenteral lmao
I'm so confused
He really did
+Zoey StarLady just ignore him
Alternate Title to movie:
Ghostbusters 3: The Tumblr Treatment.
12:37 Wow. Straight up predicted one of 2020’s dilemmas right there.
22:28 Oh look! It's the special effects from FoodFight!
At least he has a budget shoestring enough to justify it
*shoestring budget
Yeah but They didn't give Doug 65 million so...
Levi's Height Infires my Jams 45 million actually
Oh come now I'm sure the cgi of the reboot can't be that level of horrible.
this review had so many call backs to older reviews, the little devil's child, black willy wonka.
you might say this review became... *nostalgic* for me ;)
I know right. I was so happy to see Rachel again. We never see her anymore now that she's in Cali.
GamerboyJC yeah, It really surprised me, I just accepted that we would never see her again, that cameo made me so happy
only because she did it over the phone
In fact, the Chicago Ghostbusters last Doug Walker-produced appearance? The first episode of Demo Reel, in the opening The Sixth Sense parody
I guess you could say, Black Willy Wonka is like the Kefka Palazzo of media.
I actually liked this movie but I'm only here for nostalgia critic series comedy
The guy playing the priest is legendary funny
How to tell NC nailed a review: The progressive left and conservative right will both be unsatisfied.
I ain't afraid of no post.
Hay I'm center left and I'm still unsatisfied so good on him
I'm a certified SJW and I thought the review was spot on.
+somed214 well I'm a certified anti-sjw but given the subject of the video I think we shouldn't fight at least this time
All that means is he has a _fence_ -post jammed firmly up his ass. How did he manage to give the movie a shitty review and _still_ rate it average? What the awkward fumbling fuck happened between those two events?
I'm radical center and I hate this piece of crap review!
Well done, Doug.
Honestly, I really don't care about political jokes that Doug makes. It's just for fun, why take it seriously? Besides, he's taken stabs at both the left and the right, so it's not like he's favouring anyone.
Okay kids. Here’s how you right a badass, solid female character.
Write a badass character.
Then cast a woman for the role.
That’s all you’d have to do.
Morally Gary but the sad thing is that some people just want a woman protagonist and don’t care about how the creators write about her
But there are tons of famous badass female protagonist, so many I forgot most of them
But tell me a main character who is a female and is terrible
Miro Kovachevich Bella Swan from Twilight, Jupiter from Jupiter’s Ascending, The protagonist in Mean Girls 2, Annabeth from The Percy Jackson movies, these are all bad female main characters
Mim Silvernote GOD DAMN IT, I FORGOT ABOUT THOSE SHITSHOWS!!!!!!!
This feels like listening to the Star Wars fanbase.
Original purists vs. Prequel apologists, Last Jedi likers vs. Last Jedi haters. As far as I'm concerned, all fanbases are trying to destroy each other because it's just too damn hard to get along these days.
@@tristanhartup4936 True, Star Wars is more divided while the MCU is still fine, only their divisions of fans are more respectable and opinionated.
Nostalgia Critic: Ghostbusters 3 are never gonna happen.
Jason Reitman: I'm gonna ruin this man entire carrier.
It's funny that Rotten tomatoes gave Ghostbusters remake a "Certified Fresh" when it is clearly not.
Rotten tomatoes sucks. If every critic in the world gave a movie a 6/10 it would get an 100% Certified fresh.
I think it was clear that a lot of those reviewers on Rottentomatoes were giving a positive review purely on principle and in order to "stick it to all the haters".
Wait, so subjective opinions on art can be objectively wrong? huh.
Fuck Rotten Tomatoes.
+The Medicine Peddler It can be when that opinion is given not because the person actually agrees/likes or even has any connection with the piece in question but rather is merely siding with one side's sentiment without viewing it for themselves in order to form their own unbiased opinion.
At least now the original director's son is going to make the true Ghostbusters 3 next year
24:14 I wonder what he's thinking now
@@ja9luvs2befree That's why it's a passing of the torch story, not just the original team doing it again.
We'll see how that goes.
The original writer and director is dead, and Dan Akroyd hasn't been funny in 20 years. My money is on 20% Critic Rating, 75% Audience Rating, 55% Verified Audience Rating. Critics will be accused of pushing an agenda for saying Blues Brothers 2020, I mean Ghostbusters 3 is shit, yet only female critics will be doxxed and threatened.
@@geoffreysorkin5774 Sense great hatred of a good fandom in you I do. Hate the good parts of fanbases you do.
as a great japanese singer once told me, "if you hold on life won't change"
Adam Dao Shoji Meguro(Wake up, Get up, Get out there)
That and life will change
That awkward moment when the “might be intimidated by cops” bit is REALLY fitting for today
What do you mean Might?
I'll stick with the 1984 original.
Damon R. Yeah definitely
it was shit too. Ghostbusters is just shit anyway. all 3 are shit
1975 the ghost busters >>>>>>>>>>>> shitty 1985 remake.
so many good movies came out of 1984, Robocop, Terminator, and of course, Ghostbusters.
+WISE SNIPER Robocop came out in '87.
The thing I have to really disagree with you on is the action. In the original they were scientists and that is how they played it. There was no "action" because it would have looked stupid for them to all of a sudden to be busting out kung fu.
Suspension of disbelief in a Ghostbusters movie might be a bit laughable, but making scientists in action heroes out of nowhere is a huge strike against the reboot.
You have to treat it like a movie, not real life. And you can make scientists into action heroes, it has worked before.
But only if you build up or establish the fact that they have action hero training or athletic abilities beforehand. Otherwise it's just stupid.
atreides213 Yeah, that's true.
+Deltasquad382943 yes you can. that's why God gave us the commandment tho shalt montage
Spock Kirk Lol
What a great and inventive and creative way to review the movie without showing any clips or audio from it to avoid copyright claims or strikes, by reenacting the entire movie. Well done.
9:21 that joke certainly aged well considering the fact that they made Pokémon go but with ghostbusters
I miss when Nostalgia Critic would use scenes from the movies he was reviewing.
he can only do that when the movie is on DVD I think.
he still do, alot, every video 2 months back are with clips
He can't do it when the movie is still in theaters
it's not on dvd yet, sometimes, logic helps
Well, then, maybe he should simply wait for the movie to come on DVD, eh tiger?
I also love the cameo of Rachel in this review, it sort of hits my NOSTALGIA of the channel a couple years back.
I totally freaked out when I saw her! Lol, made me forget what I even thought of the movie lol (:
Wait...what part?
FoxieRoxie365 the part at the end where Critic had to get rid of the Meninist.
Great seeing her again!
Evilina! I missed her!
When a parody review is actually WAY BETTER than the original movie...
Just replace Ghostbusters with Star Wars and I’d wholeheartedly agree
Why does everyone hate on Ghostbusters II? It wasn't that bad of a movie!
Yes, yes it was. It sucked.
+Nonamearisto Then obviously I'm in the minority because I love GB II.
+Brian Roland (EctoCorvis) Yes, yes you are.
Don't worry, I liked it too. xD
Thank you. Finally, a supporter
Tamara: How could you even think about watching that, it totally ruins what's perfect about the original
1 Week Later
Channel Awesome has uploaded: Tamara's Never Seen: Ghost busters (1984)
you could almost say she was acting for a part in a skit
bo-bae pffft. Sure. I suppose you think Bruce Wayne is Batman, too.
Alexander Armageddon why, that couldn't happen!
Or that Tony Stark is Iron Ma- ....No wait, he already admitted that.
The irony XD
Its amazing how well the Critic's message still holds up and remains applicable years later. Well said, Doug. Well said!
I admit that the design of some of the ghosts were pretty damn awesome, I always thought that. I feel as though, among other things, the over the top action ruined it, purely because that isn't what Ghostbusters is supposed to be. They aren't meant to be action heroes, firing guns and blowing ghosts up; they are essentially exterminators or paranormal police officers that catch and contain the ghosts.
To me this film is more like a scooby doo movie. Bright visuals, ridiculous villains, am I alone on this?
This film is shit. The End.
@DooM Guy 83 jeez your no fun.
@@Hobie02425 yeah. Cause I'm funnier and more entertaining than that shit fest.
Did like nobody learn the video’s message here?
@@bagasbramantyo9717 the videos message? That anytime fans have legit criticism they're just whiny fan boys who can't have their way?
Rob does a really good job in this bit. Not over-acted like most of the characters.
Ok...not over-over-acted lol
I thought Malcolm did pretty good.
+EvilDylan malcom is awesome. seems like a nice guy too
Malcolm always does awesome :) I was just surprised to see Rob not going berserk for once with his role; it was really nice.
Doug: Okay, don't overreact in this review to be funny, try to be calm but butthurt at the same time.
Rob: But the chart says-
Ghostbusters afterlife is a masterpiece 🥰 so its ok to pretend this one doesnt exist
the irony is the ending is more representative of star wars fans
I thought the film was middle of the road. It's not the first film by any means but it's certainly better than how it could've turned out.
The bigger question is, what was up with 2016? That entire year was nothing but controversy & taking sides about small, mundane (sometimes even pointlessly stupid) things. This film was just one of the few unfortunate victims of 2016 & its hatred.
You could say "A series of unfortunate events" occurred in 2016.
Manuel Alberto Romero that's very clever. You earn my respect.
GarrettCube
:D
GarrettCube I like how it turned out. My family is in the oilfield and got to keep their jobs.
Ty Donaldson that's good. It's just that the rest of the world was involved in a never ending mudslinging war that resulted in not much really being accomplished.
Nostalgia Critic got it right with the fanbases. It is good to have something you love but to attack others and force them to love it to is completely wrong and selfish. Today, one tiny opinion can trigger an entire war between two fanbases. The most prominent being the gaming community and how repulsive and putrid some of the fanbases there can be, and while there is a good side to it and thank God that the good side is the majority, it doesn't cover the fact that there exists a bully within the community that tries to whip others to enjoy what they enjoy.
The Smash fanbase is a good example of what you are saying.
Which is why I never talk about Ghostbusters.
Three things I never like to talk about are Pokémon, Frozen, and Ghostbusters (2016), because I never like talking about the things I hate.
Because if anything, talking about them just pisses me off even more.
Matthew Cool Quick question, could you tell me why you hate Pokemon? I don't care whether you do or don't, but why?
+FrYer Dyre It's just not my thing. The games were pretty boring and the TV show and movies makes me cringe. And I think it's gotten out of hand with the release of Pokémon GO, considering that practically _everyone_ kept talking about it, it was everywhere, especially on social media. And it kinda drove me nuts. Just my personal opinion.
FrYer Dyre because Digimon was better
17:31 rofl! that yell is incredible
Oh this has aged like fine wine. Not even a parody nowadays.
