Funko Pops, to me.

I understand that some of them are fairly overpriced, but I also really like them as is. It doesn't work on all characters, but it sometimes work on a lot and there's so much representation and variety that it's good to have a few.

If people want to talk about waste of plastic and vinyl, they should bark at the companies who make teeny tiny figurines that serve no purpose and have so little detail that spending any money on them is a waste.

Ghostbusters: Answer the Call

Nah Imma let it ring

If that movie had not come out in 2016, it might've been somewhat okay. The problem also is that they picked the most unfunny female comedians that they could find. But because it came out in 2016, it was criticized for being "woke".

Holtzmann made that movie. I still tingle when she goes to town with the dual proton pistols.

Yeah. I'm a huge ghostbusters nerd. I really enjoyed it. There's one quick change that could be made that would have made it tons better. Set it in Boston and make them a franchisee. Making it a spinoff instead of a reboot.

i love the spinoff idea.

Same. I loved Ghostbusters as a kid, while everyone else was about gi Joe and Ninja turtles. I even like extreme Ghostbusters and the last two movies.

But AtC was just blah. Not very funny. Trying to do the same old stuff. A lot of it felt like they were trying to just tick checkboxes off.
