I think basically everyone agrees that the Ghostbusters trailers fucking blew but there’s “doing a shit job of selling your film” and then there’s “making it look like you’ve cast the black actress as someone ‘street smart’ when really she’s just a huge fucking history nerd"
That’s the point where it tips over into being damaging for more than just your box office.
You mean the black actress is NOT cast as ‘street smart’ but is actually at the same level of intellectual nerdery as the white characters? Maybe I should watch this movie after all.
When she says “You may know science, but I know this city,” she’s not saying it like “I grew up on the streets” or whatever. It’s immediately after this line, “I read a lot of nonfiction.” Her entire thing is that the scientists all know science, but she knows THE HISTORY of the city. At one point she’s griping about joining the Ghostbusters… because she expected it to be more like a book club.
