Ghostbusters Ending: 8 Potential Clues For The Sequel

1. Slimer Babies

Ghostbusters Sequel 2
Sony Pictures

One of the most WTF moments in Ghostbusters was the female Slimer. The big green turd was already an odd inclusion in the film - not gelling like the rest of the shout-outs to the original, he was an unfunny timewaster - but this was particularly odd; logistics aside, she only appeared for a couple of shots before being part of the 'Busters' nuke plan.

But, of course, they won't be dead; Slimer's too iconic a character to "kill", so Mr and Mrs will surely be resurrected for the sequel. And, if Feig thought it a good idea to introduce the wife, then it's all but inevitable he'll follow through and give them a bunch of sprogs for no anatomical reason; that's how comedy franchise progression works.

As you can probably tell, unlike the other instances on this list, Slimer Babies only leaves a very bad taste in my mouth; expanding the character didn't really work here, and would only feel more forced down the line.
