The trailer for the upcoming film of “Afterlife” has some fans asking where’s the comedy. Critics say that this is a movie about a zombie apocalypse, so it makes sense that there would be no humor.
The ricky gervais afterlife is a new trailer for the upcoming film, which has some fans asking where’s the comedy?
The new Ghostbusters: Afterlife trailer has been out, but it has not been well received by fans. One of the problems that Ghostbusters fans are outraged about, and one that has been a hot topic, is that the trailers for Afterlife don’t seem to provide much in the way of comedy. Director Ivan Reitman and a strong ensemble of top-notch comic geniuses, including Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Bill Murray, created the first Ghostbusters film.
Jason Reitman, Ivan Reitman’s son, is renowned for dramedy (Juno, Up In The Air) rather than blockbuster comedy. However, based on fan feedback, one can only assume that Sony and Jason Reitman made care to include plenty of laughs in Ghostbusters: The Ghostbusters. Afterlife…
Do you recall the era?
Isn’t it funny how Ghostbusters used to be a comedy? https://t.co/eCtFSWSrNq

Jamie Lovett of asks whether we recall a time when Ghostbusters was still a scary comedy. Perhaps the year 2020 will be remembered as the year when everything changed…

Crossover of epic franchises. We’re #Dead because of this Jurassic Park meme.

Is it a comedy? Or is it just Paul Rudd?
Another Ghostbusters trailer that leaves me perplexed about the plot. Although ghosts exist, no one recalls the periods when New York was assaulted. Egon has decided to abandon his family in a world where life after death is possible? Is it a comedy or simply has Paul Rudd in it?

The fact that Paul Rudd appears in every funny scene in the Ghostbusters: Afterlife trailers is an alarming indication that he may be the sole comic relief in the film.

A Profound Legacy
Is it just me, or does the Ghostbusters afterlife teaser seem to take the original’s legacy *way too seriously*?
I know I’m not often good at picking up on jokes, but the trailer offered me no indication that the film was going to be a comedy.

Could Jason Reitman’s intense devotion to his father and his reputation end up hurting the new Ghostbusters series more than helping it?

That is the prank.
Never imagined a Ghostbusters film would be devoid of humor. Perhaps that’s the humor.

Is it possible that Ghostbusters: Afterlife is becoming meta?

For the Purpose of (Old) Culture
Because of the lag period between films and television, the choice to make the new Ghostbusters an Amblin-esque kids’ adventure was taken at the height of Stranger Things hysteria, but since that cultural moment has gone, many are asking, “Why isn’t this a comedy?”
July 27, 2021 — Zack Stentz (@MuseZack)
This tweet may have more sad truth than many Ghostbusters fans would want to acknowledge. Stranger Things has been on hiatus for a time, and the next season will premiere in 2022. The COVID-19 pandemic’s postponement may have squandered a lot of Reitman’s cultural significance.

Ghostbusters aren’t my thing.
A trailer with a profoundly respectful tone and *absolutely no jokes* makes me think “Ghostbusters.”

If evoking the spirit of the original Ghostbusters was the objective, it may not have been achieved.

Have You Seen the Ghostbusters Movie?
I had to double-check because I couldn’t believe it, but this trailer has no humor. Ghostbusters was a comedy film in which Dan Ackroyd was given such a nice head by a ghost that he became cross-eyed.

Ghostbusters was a raunchy comedy-horror film featuring a lot of filthy humor, which cannot be overstated. Even if Ghostbusters: Afterlife has humor, it would not be enough to make it comparable to the original.

2016 is to be respected.

Fans of the 2016 female-led remake of Ghostbusters are now reconsidering their opinion. At the very least, there were jokes. However, not everyone is disappointed that the Afterlife teaser isn’t a slapstick comedy.

This appeals to me.
The fact that Ghostbusters Afterlife isn’t a full-fledged comedy is the greatest route it could’ve taken. Otherwise, all of its gags would be compared to those from the previous three films. However, it has now taken a new path while still honoring the heritage of the originals.
