10 Reasons An All-Female Ghostbusters Is A Terrible Idea

4. The Internet Has Already Pre-Hated It Into Oblivion

Yes, articles such as this probably aren't helping stem the flow of negativity, but as soon as the idea was released into the wild, there were plenty of detractors online ready to flame the movie into oblivion before it even began production. While many of them are misogynistic "neckbeards" simply touting an ignorant sexist agenda, there are also those more reasoned skeptics who cite genuine reasons for concern about an all-female Ghostbusters flick. The point is that so many have already made their minds up about the new movie and simply aren't prepared to give it a chance, even if the trailer ends up looking not-awful. Though some might go see it out of morbid curiosity, plenty will likely boycott a film with no involvement from the original actors or creative minds, even if the all-girl cast could easily open the film up to a wider new audience (namely teenage girls). There's absolutely no way all this Internet bile will result in the movie bombing, but it doesn't exactly set a great precedent right out of the gate.
