Spoiler Alert
Ghostbusters Frozen Empire is a satisfying continuation of Phoebe Spengler’s (Mckenna Grace) coming of age tale. Although she’s ready to continue the family legacy after learning about her grandfather’s exploits, not everyone agrees. Her new father, Gary (Paul Rudd), has to set boundaries and when he grounds her for other reasons, she’s ready to lash out. Nobody understands her, except for a lost spirit she befriends.
According to We Minored in Film, Reitman knew Ramis has a flair for grounding comedy in reality which made him the perfect person to overhaul Aykroyd’s initial concept. What he injected is a sense of why this brotherhood matter, and this latest has its moments to remind audiences family togetherness is just as important too. As for Egon, nobody knew he left his wife. To acknowledge his lost family connections is only fitting and feels like a logical choice to move the franchise forward.
The largest takeaway from the teaser trailer of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is that something from the Arctic is coming to invade New York! Just what that isn’t the return of the Titanic. That boat isn’t in the running because of what the first film alluded to, so those spirits are probably at peace. And I doubt there’s a malicious force wanting to claim what’s lost decades ago, since it wouldn’t make sense for a continuation.
