I got more of a Gremlins 2 vibe than a baby yoda vibe.
yeah, thats pretty much the scene when they take over the bar and theater in Gremlins or the TV station in Gremlins 2. same sound effects.

yeah. I got the same vibes. gremlins 2, mini ash.. minions..

Ghostbusters worked when the ghosts were treated much more serious. Even slimer was not treated as a joke or cartoon itself immediately. Which is why the Stay puft man joke works. as ghosts WERE serious up to that point, and escalating, then staypuft man as the form of the ultimate destroyer.

this looks like cartoonish silliness for cartoonish silliness/toys sake.

also was a reason it looked like that. n ot jsut ghosts randomly possessing marshmellows, and changing them into the form of the mascot?

Wasn't the teaser extremely grimdark and serious? The pitch teaser a few years ago.

They got everyone hyped up for this movie off of that, got the deal done, and now the rug is pulled apparently.

Do any of those Marshmallow guys give Paul Rudd a blowjob or what?

I don’t know, evil yet silly marshmallow burning each other alive at the stake doesn’t seem very baby yoda to me. Probably won’t work but watching one on fire slide down a poker like an uruk Hai was a little bananas.

reminds me of the satanist woodland critters on South Park

Heh you know you’d be down for some S’mores right now.

I actually don't care for smores and can't remember the last time I had one.

My GF had to buy shit for them for the kids so they had a proper upbringing because I wasn't gonna!

The baby yoda comparison is less about the characters themselves and more about what feels to be a transparent marketing decision made really late to get something cute and marketable in the film in response to a major pop culture trend. Does your IP have something that will spawn memes and sell action figures? No? ADD SOMETHING.

Ghostbusters 2 had some silly ghosts. as long as the cast takes them seriously, its all good.

the pitch promised grimdark, and its clearly not. i think i might have to pass on it, as that wasn't the deal fans signed up for to support this film's creation.

they jerked people around if that teaser is any indication. they aint jerkin me. they can get jerked.

well shit, i was never under the impression this was going to be anything but a comedy, the original was a comedy. everyone played it straight when it came to the ghosts.

Rudd's going to play it straight? Bill Murray is known for his expert deadpan serious comedy. If Rudd is doing the heavy lifting on the acting its going to be dopey.

Rudd can't play it straight with a fork up his ass.
