have you guys also wondered if the ghostbusters painting at the end of ghostbusters 2 is still at the art museum
Strictest movie-only canon? We have no idea.
The 2009 Video Game had a painting of Vigo back at GBCentral. It’s been assumed to have been the one in GB2 re-inhabited by Vigo (minus the occasional fan speculation) but, again, not necessarily movie universe canon.
i wonder if it was out on display at the new york city art museum untill the mid 90s then was put away for a long time
until what if after what happened in ghostbusters afterlife or at least 5 years later after the events from ghostbusters afterlife as ant man mentioned in frozen empire
what if the infamous painting was back out on display at the museum
or or what if its at winstons place on display
Presumably, it was not added to the Manhattan Museum of Art’s new Romantic Exhibition that Janosz mentioned when Peter visited Dana and like unused art not on display, it was mothballed again unlike what happened in the different canons of Ghostbusters: The Video Game or IDW comics where it ended up in the Ghostbusters’ possession and displayed at the Firehouse. Or depending on the scruples of the museum, they could have billed it as ‘come see the painting that was haunted’ to draw in more people then once interest died out, they stored it again.
Fast forward to the present, I think once Ray and Winston started looking into spirit loaded items through Repossessed and the Paranormal Research Center, I would think Winston procured the painting under the guise it was for his private collection when in fact it was to be kept in storage at the Paranormal Research Center since it could still be hot and/or engineers could do further studies into it. They were still studying Psychomagnotheric ectoplasm during the events of Frozen Empire, why not the painting.
oh ya come to think of it what if dana was working at the art museum and found the painting in the museum storage room then called winston about it who then had the paranormal research team get the painting and they put it in that machine that removes ghosts from devices
I doubt Dana would work there ever again. Plus, the sign in front of the New York Public Library in Frozen Empire indicates she did return to the symphony full time as she said she was going to do while talking to Janosz in GB2.
i did not notice the sign in frozen empire lol
It was a blink-and-miss-it reference.
you mean like those fast cameras movements angles scenes like in the car chase where they were after the ghost dragon while on the chase there would be stuff in the backgrounds that you would never really notice
It was more a case “the text was fairly small and the movement of the camera blurred it”, I missed it entirely in my first viewing (much like the reference to Louis Tully’s family during the 1904 sequence).
what was the louis tully family reference
i wonder now
Apologies.
During the 1904 sequence, there was a “Tully & Son Haulage Company” in the background as the fire engine raced to the Manhattan Adventurer’s Society.
lol oh
The Sequel Video Game made it so Vigo was still in the painting and that they took it back to the firehouse to keep him from getting loose.
was the ghostbusters 2 video game for regular nintendo aka nes aka fanicom
Winston is referring to Ghostbusters: The Video Game, which was on Xbox 360 and Playstation 2/3.
oh ok
