>It's pretty obvious sexism, and the same people who would pan this type of sexism with reversed roles are in favor of it here. It's hypocritical. While I understand the criticism that his character's role doesn't map to the original character's role... is it possible that this is an example of what it means to "punch up"? What does it mean that there is so much hand-wringing about Chris's character and yet when a female plays that role in basically every other movie that comes out... much less is vocalized by the folks upset at Ghostbusters? I dunno, it still seems like a weird thing to spend this much time trying to form a strong opinion on (I say ironically as I keep thinking about it). I wish studios would leave classics alone but that ship has long since sailed. If they had to reboot it, I think the gender reversal is kind of novel.
