I haven’t seen the 2016 Ghostbusters, nor do I plan to. If you want to know why I didn’t see it then, check out what was going on in my life at the time. Not that the trailers made it look all that interesting, mind you, even before all the negative reviews. Feige is reminding me of Zac Snyder, though. I’ve actually become less positive about Man Of Steel, which is a decent superhero movie but a terrible Superman adaptation, because of his constant poor defenses, insisting his is the superior take on Superman (which he doesn’t even get called in most of the movie, if at all, because any time someone tries they get stopped). The more he tries to defend it, long after the movie came out and the Snyderverse is basically done, the more I get reminded of the flaws.
In the same vein, Feige should accept that people didn’t like his movie, Sony doesn’t even connect it to the other movies and cartoons, and not use his latest movie to try to defend a movie nobody is interested in. Well, nobody except the interviewer who probably asked him about the movie because they want that culture war narrative to never die and are always willing to bash that one President they don’t like and are cheering on the assassins to take out. You like it? Fine. The audience didn’t, said so, and that should be that. Now you have them less interested in seeing whatever movie you’re trying to push now on general principle. That is terrible marketing, but somehow marketing is failing miserably at their jobs. Then again, so are the people making what they’re marketing.

Oddly, the swearing comes not from the rant but the articles he’s using to make his point. That’s “journalism” in the 21st Century.
