The worst part of Ghostbusters 2016 is that they turned the ghostbusters into Action Heroes, whereas the original was all about a group of ordinary people trying to create their self-owned extermination business. They weren't action heroes. Them getting winded while walking up the stairs at the end illustrates this perfectly.

Y'all are good not watching it, the live reboot was a wastefully pointless piece of crap with no emotion on the characters. I was supposed to cry on the mufasa death scene but even that part seemed too dry whereas the original one gave more expression where it hits you in the feels and it really makes you cry. I guess it's true when they say "If it ain't broken don't fix it" 🤷♂️🤦♂️
