The entire theater exploded into a roar when this happened. Egon was always there as a ghost, helping his grand daughter and bringing this moment to fruition. It was a perfect way to send off the old crew and pass the blessing to the new kids. I can't wait for the next movie to see where they take the new team and how Winston does as the voice behind the team. Seriously of all the reboots of old IPs this was done right.

[@SinbadNaiver]

damn right, THIS is a proper reboot DONE. RIGHT. Not that other stupid shitty reboot that was done.

[@xSharpW]

Ngl it feels like a really good reboot because it's not quite a reboot as we see them typically. Typically a reboot ends up hiring new actors to play the old characters (like we saw with the all women Ghost busters reboot that we won't talk about), and pretend like the old characters didn't exist. This is more of a faithful continuation of the OGs, since the new generation has to call on the old to help defeat their greatest enemy one final time before they're truly retired/put to rest in Egons case.

Bill Murray is the best part of this movie. His comment about being a power couple. The way he looks at Egon, looks away, looks back in disbelief, and then looks away like “eh, I bust ghosts for a living, that ain’t unusual” and then says “I thought you might turn up” it’s just golden😂

[@oprime]

It is such a rarely used thing nowadays it seems. The only movie I can recall that used it in the last 5 years was the Godzilla Minus One movie. It still has such a powerful impact when used as it was in both Ghostbusters and Godzilla.

[@themobsterofnerds6693]

​@@oprimeI agree on both. Seeing scenes like in Ghostbusters & Godzilla brings the emotions to create such a powerful impact to the heart strings. It's a wonderful awe inspiring moments in cinema history, it's rare to see nowadays because Hollywood rather focus on spectacles then storytelling. Ghostbusters Afterlife & Godzilla Minus One are works of art true to its material. Warner Brothers & Disney can learn from that but they never will.

[@calhoun24]

Something I noticed was during most of the scene when Gozer and Phoebe are locked in battle, the camera movement is chaotic, caught up in the energy output of both power sets, the dirt, wind, and so on. But when Egon’s hand appears to steady Phoebe’s neutrona wand, the camera steadies, as if his presence is the calming factor that swings the scene towards the GBs way. And then after the boys provide enough backup and distraction for another attack that’s successful, Egon slowly moves Phoebe alongside Peter, Ray, and Winston - official bringing her into the fold, and setting up the moment for Egon’s plan to finally work. And with not saying anything and nodding, he acknowledges that even though they had a falling out, he understood, forgave, and was just happy to see them once again, even under these circumstances. A fantastic way to bring Egon back in a way that is respectful, adds more background as well as character, and leaves a legacy that future Ghostbusters can build upon.

When she passed, I never watched it again. I went to see Afterlife with my closest friend, he knew my mother and the backstory of this movie. I was openly crying for the last half hour.

THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT. You introduce your own new characters; and let them stand on their own merits; but honor the originals, without lessening the old to falsely aggrandize the new. It was great that the granddaughter had her moment; but wasn't strong enough to do it herself. Then her grandfather's ghost appears to help guide and support her, like he didn't do in life; but didn't take over. He had faith she could. Which is what all kids want from their elders, validation. Then the others helped out rather than be spectators or cheerleaders; and they did so of their own volition and inspiration, not because someone told them too. Lastly, his ghost said nothing. Sometimes it's better to say nothing because sometimes nonverbal ques say everything.

Instead of building off of something great they try to remake and change it into something that it was never meant to be.

Good summary. I also liked the fact that her brother's just about to join in the fight but then realizes there's a more important thing to do (re-energizing the trap grid) and ensures it gets done.

This scene alone in my opinion, was hands down the reason to make this movie worth watching. Unlike a certain unmentionable movie, that pretty much stole the name, this one allowed the original cast to be part of the bigger picture and not some side acts. It made me feel like I could handle a newer younger cast and be ok with them taking over. The kids didn't just decide to do this, they were led into it by fate, and they accepted the call. The fact that they have the orignal gear is what makes it so much more believable. So, I will say this is defenitly worth while.
