Sorry, what I stated regarding Ghostbusters and the sequel is verifiable fact.
I've looked into your theories and have done a large amount of research myself and It all checks out-
Ghostbusters 2 was a disappointing piece of crap in 1989 and it smells even worse now.

My friend went to a Q&A with Paul Feig the other day, he said his Ghostbusters is a reboot because Sony tried to get him to do a sequel for about a year, but all the scripts were about the GBs having fallen on hard times, which he thought was stupid since they'd be heroes. Which means that Paul Feig understands more than the original writers did when they wrote Ghostbusters 2 a handful of years after the original.
