Ghostbusters: Afterlife Trailer Review - 7 Ups & 4 Downs

1. No Fan-Baiting Stinger?!

There may be some who say that the trailer is perfect precisely because it avoids cheap selling points like a cameo of one of the big six (yes, that includes Sigourney Weaver, Rick Moranis and Annie Potts) there was a way of adding the perfect kind of fan-bait without necessarily going that far.

After the end of the trailer when we get the release date and title screen, you'd expect some sort of big money stinger (a "Chewie, we're home" moment to go back to that The Force Awakens trailer) that just ties everything with a nice nostalgic bow.

It could have been something as simple as the theme from the original playing (as part of the commercial clip we saw earlier) or mention of the Keymaster or the Gatekeeper or anything that would have acted as a bookend reference. And it would have doubled the fan-bait reaction of ECTO-1. It's just a little strange that it wasn't in there.
