Well.. considering the characters from GB84 and RGB were the same, unlike GB16…

Yeah to call the '84 characters the “Real” ghostbusters is a bit unfair to EGB, they had good characters too. :eduardo: :kylie: :garrett: :roland:

What about when theaters showed GB84 in the theaters this year? Lol. Talk about confusion if GB16 stuck with “Ghostbusters”!
