The Biggest Gender Swap in ‘Ghostbusters’ Reboot That NO ONE Is Talking About
There's been a lot of heat on the new Ghostbusters reboot, directed by Paul Feig and starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones. A lot of the criticism has, unfortunately, a nasty gender-bias, as male rights activist types worry about the sanctity of their childhood memories the way that fundamentalists worry that allowing gay couples to be on each other's health care plans will ruin the sanctity of marriage. It's a ridiculous argument, and one that has overshadowed any real conversation of whether this reboot is good or not. (Or, hey! A better question might be: why can't we stop rebooting franchises in the first place and make some original films?)
I saw Ghostbusters yesterday, and I loved it. And interestingly, there was one particular gender-swapped character that was introduced and yet avoided this mainstream backlash.
