Feminist can suck a big fat male dick
And I guarantee that they're gonna just bitch and whine that the movie failed because of sexism and bullshit. Not because it's a garbage excrement movie.
Remakes of great all time classic movies just don't do well. That's the reality
The movie failed because a bunch of people got really pissed about something that ultimately didn't and still doesn't matter.
If the movie had been met with no fanfare and people went to see it, it would have done decent business and wouldn't have merited more than a passing mention moving forward.
Instead? People got pissed because they remade Ghostbusters with a new cast and/or a bunch of women. Before anyone called it a feminist success, people were calling it a men's rights failure. It was an obvious feminist ploy before any feminists had said a word about it. Cue said feminists overreacting to said irrational hatred and a clusterfuck ensued.
It was a decent movie, worth cheap admission (paid $20 for my family of 4) that was needlessly maligned. The only thing more annoying than an angry feminist is an angry guy telling you how annoying and enraging the angry feminist is. When he gets out in front of her? Yikes.
The movie didn't fail on its own merits. It deserved a chance to.
