  1. I mean, could simply be just some (odd) friendship. There is no need to see further than that.

  2.  @qty1315  It's overall just a (manipulative) friendship. You could see it like that, but there isn't really any reason.

  3.  @Rogers1000  I think they made her a female ghost, to not have sexual innuendos, but of course people will just than go that route...

  4.  @rodrigobogado8756  Congrats, you just found out what the whole thing is about. Why do you think they do it in the worst way possible? Why do you think they go that massively confronting routes which are doomed to create defiance and hate? It's on purpose. The whole "woke" thing is just the good old "divide et impera" and overall just a new name for the old third wave feminism, created to make the slaves hate each other. Overall: "woke" movies aren't bad because of these parts anyway. They would be bad without it anyway, because the story and characters are shit, no matter what sex or sexuality they got. That absolutely awful Ghostbuster remake would be the same shit show with male Ghostbusters. That wasn't the problem at all.

  5. In contrast to the just overall bad remake, this one would be easy to fix, especially because they simply put too much into it. 1. Cancel the whole 'secret lab' plot line (and all characters mainly involved there). It went nowhere, what includes the whole ghost containment unit, what played no role at all at the end. 2. Let Melody focus on the Firemaster. If you want some vague girl/girl romance/friendship/whatever this was supposed to be, just make the character female. Since the Firemaster bloodline is the nemesis of the Ice God, this would have made much more sense. 3. If necessary, let Phoebe stay the sudden outsider, maybe by going agains the whole "must bust all ghosts" thing and try to study ghosts more (to stay with the "against the family" thing), what then leads to her going with an offer from Melody to show her how being a ghost feels like - what is then abused the same way by the Ice God and Melod betraying both, Firemaster and Phoebe (redemption can stay the same). 4. With Melody focusing on the Firemaster, don't try to make it a bad copy of the Keymaster from the first movie. Keymaster and Gatekeeper were both just sacrifices, so there was no need for any power developement. With the Firemaster bloodline playing such a big role at the end, you can't just start with shady clown then go with a funny clown, stupid clown -> superpowered savior "developement". Starting with selling stuff Grandma's stuff can be fine, maybe money probs, depressed (since obviously no family left and also seeing how Grandma had big secrets going on never telling about it), but at least keep some character and good will, so when he/she wants to sell stuff but realises that there could be more behind it, that there is some investment from that side - what could be abused by Melody to get what she needs for her master. Overall not even big changes, but would already cut away a lot of unncessary weight and focus more on the core characters. While you per se could cut Melody, too, it's fine to have a minion like her, since the big bad is a bit too big bad to play much of a role from the start. Other question would be if you want to start something like the whole Firemaster plot, but overall, since the stories of demons and ghosts, cultists and sorcerer and so on in Ghostbusters DO get a long way back for quite a while, the idea of some ancient Ghostbusters who used mystical powers isn't a bad one. But if you do that, do it right - and don't make a clown story out of it. That's just sad, especially with the whole bad ass background, including his Grandma at start (obviously not only surviving the wrath of the God Prison, but managing to seal it again. Overall odd anyway, that she just dies without telling anyone at all.
