I also love the idea of the statues becoming possessed by evil spirits as though the ghosts are using the statues as armour. It creates a nice continuity with the positively-possessed Statue of Liberty, and the role art plays in the return of Viggo.

[@Spindler2007]

Wow. This would have been amazing to see. It still has that darker feel the actual sequel had while keeping the humour of the first movie. When you mentioned how the court case should have played out with the slime coming up and releasing the Scolari Brothers, I thought to myself "that is exactly how I thought that should be like when Doug reviewed Ghostbusters 2". I definitely liked the idea of Vigo being powered by fear instead of anger. Seeing more ghosts including "good" ones to help fight Vigo is a great idea. The idea of Vigo wanting to marry Dana due to her past experiences with the supernatural is an interesting concept but I couldn't help but think of the ending of Beetlejuice where he tries to marry Lydia before the Maitlands stop him. Still the new plan for Vigo is an interesting concept.

Rob, you had me until you called Ray an idiot. He’s not! Childlike? Perhaps. An aspect of his personality that was greatly exaggerated for the animated series. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. 😉 Seriously, though: As much as I respect your opinion and can appreciate the effort it takes to write for FanScription, you’re wrong about Ray. Dan Aykroyd is the mother fucking *KING* of exposition! If I remember correctly, he wrote most of his own dialogue. When it comes to delivering lines that have any kind of paranormal jargon- dates, cultures, religious beliefs, you name it- Aykroyd sells it like he absolutely, positively knows what he’s talking about! He did the same thing in Sneakers. By the way, I have nothing against the idea that Vigo should have possessed Peter instead. I just wanted to throw my humble objection in defense of my fellow Southpaw!

[@alexixeno4223]

Agreed. He was just childlike is all. Which is why I think he was the usual target for those type of things in the cartoon.

[@rodster6campingprepper]

For the most part I like it as it is though I wish we'd seen the ghostbusters interact with Slimer and explain why he's haunting the firehouse and that Egon and Ray use him to study. Some of the dynamic between Slimer and Peter from the cartoon would have been fun to see on screen too.

22:44 that "three things" just gave me like legit chills!!

[@theretrobro3826]

22:13...Now THAT'S good writing!

[@mikecabral2420]

Peck's three reasons are hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt and I feel like it could actually work and feel genuine without feeling unearned or corney.

Watching this, I think you are being too hard on your creation - I greatly enjoyed the second film and I _still_ wish this one was the one they had made instead. Your version does exactly what a sequel _should_ do - build on the original and make something bigger, but still believable. With the original crew to flesh it out and tweak it a little, it could have been bigger than the original - at the very least, it would have been a classic in its own right. Too bad there's no way to send it back in time to when they were planning the sequel. Thanks for sharing this with us - I hope you guys will do more of these in future.

This was actually REALLY REALLY Good! As much as I liked the original, this was SO MUCH Better!! I LOVE The visual art y'all made and I LOVE what you did with Winston! Hell, I even Liked the idea of a mid-credits scene! Although, if I had to change ONE thing in the mid-credits scene, instead of having Janine, you should've had an unknown actor and have it be the scene of the ROOKIE FROM THE VIDEO GAME putting the pack on and end it there, thus starting the VIDEO GAME Story as if it were like a subtle sequel! (Ghostbusters game would be like a GB 2.5 if you will) That would've been AWESOME!

Why didn’t we get this as the sequel? It recaptures what made the original good while also adding in new things to keep it interesting. You know, the things a sequel SHOULD do.

[@armorpro573]

I guess the movie executives thought differently

[@crazyjack66]

I wish I had an animation team so I could bring this treatment to life.

[@kisekhan2818]

I would pay to see this on the big screen , maybe a animated one so we get all the cast in( even the ones who are gone from this world)

[@MrKornnugget]

This is why writers need to listen to the fans rather than complain about then not seeing some vision, that usually makes a horrible fail.

[@LeonGarnet]

The chain reaction from this "What if?" would be awesome, GB2016 wouln't exist and maybe GB3 wouln't become an over hyped Goosebumps tv movie but instead the passing of the torch for the characters of Extreme Ghosbusters... I need to jump to that alternative reality now.

[@gmansgnarlyscienceshow2820]

30:19 One small problem. Even though ghosts directly possess the Statue of Liberty in this version, a Slime Blower would still be needed to unpossess a person. The proton packs don’t have this ability, so their “blasters” wouldn’t cut it. If they just shot Peter/Vigo with the Proton Pack, it might just cause tissue scarring and damage.

[@Spindler2007]

I've just had a really interesting idea. What if this version of the movie was made but done in animation? I got this idea when I remembered seeing some lost episodes of Doctor Who released on dvd but done in animation. This could have a mix of audio from the actual movie along with new sound effects and new voice overs from the original remaining cast and some voice actors. What does everyone think?

[@Mbdxwwe18]

I cried tears of Joy I loved GB2 Don't get me wrong but this should have been the sequel we should have got

[@ClarenceKansas]

Ghostbusters 2. The redemption of Winston.

[@jenniferschillig3768]

So glad you kept Peter and Dana together! That's one approach to sequels I've always disliked--as you put it, the "here we go again" business, undoing some resolution from the first (for example, a romantic relationship) so the whole thing can happen all over again--instead of, say, DEVELOPING said resolution. That's what I loved so much about the Mummy movies--they kept Rick and Evie together and developed them as a couple/family.

[@zeo1chris]

PLEASE! at the very least SOMEONE makes an animatic of THIS version!!!! TY Rob

[@kamiinazo2133]

This would have made a good movie and I love that you kept the statue of liberty in the end. You kept the best of the original, ditched the bad and made it better.

[@gianinabadami5341]

Especially more kick ass!

[@sphyoni]

Ok, that was brilliant! Really enjoyed that! From the original - "Your not sleeping with it are you Ray?" always made me laugh as a teenager
