Ghostbusters: 21 WTF Moments In The Female Remake

11. Abby's Illogical Strength

As the film progresses, it turns out that Rowan the weakling is massively impressed with Kevin as a physical specimen because of what his body can do for him. He even remarks "I should have worked out more when I was alive", suggesting that he requires Kevin's existing strength while possessing him to accomplish any feats of strength. That much actually makes sense, and it's a nice progression of his story as a geeky outsider (turning a jock onto his enemies is VERY Revenge Of The Nerds).

But immediately before he possessed Kevin, Rowan also possesses Yates i the Ghostbusters office, leading to the "hilarious" Exorcist neck spin that would definitely have left a mark when he jumped back out of her body. Even more confusingly, possessed Yates somehow capable of enormous, superhero-like feats of strength, body-slamming her fellow 'Busters and going all Matrix with her kung fu.

Come on now, Rowan. You either need your host to be strong or you don't - you can't just flip flop between the two rules willy-nilly.
