The all-female Ghostbusters reboot had one hell of an odyssey, igniting a vortex of hatred that threatened to tear open the fabric of time itself.

This is one element that upset the fanbase greatly, but the water was muddied somewhat when the first trailer came out, and the opening text seemed to indicate the original films were canon after all.
