Yeah…it’s really not bad, and it’s better than II. But women, amirite?
The funny is that having women play the Ghostbusters is actually the only thing that makes the remake more than just a simple regurgitation of the original. It’s really the only strength that the entire production had. Now they’re remaking Lord of the Flies with girls instead of boys, and some idiots were complaining but ultimately we already have one fantastic adaptation of it from 1963 and a pretty good one from the 90s. If they didn’t make any changes it’d just be another reimagining of Lord of the Flies which was perfectly adapted almost word for word over five decades ago.
Lord of the Flies with girls sounds great if they abandon everything else about the novel and just make it a Wonder Woman prequel where the girls make a cool society of island hunter/warriors and generally get along.
Well, I hate superheroes so I’m opposed to that idea, but realistically I don’t think a Lord of the Flies with girls would be any different from the Lord of the Flies with boys. Kids are obnoxious and evil regardless of the gender.
