At first they are handed lame assignments like paper work, billing, clean up. Maybe someone fools around with the containment unit and let’s some ghouls out. That could be fun. Winston & Ray hire a new GB team and the kids kinda feel like they’ve been stepped over.
I want the franchise back in New York tho.
And as much as I don’t want a re used Villain…I can see a way for Vigo to come back. You could say part of Vigo’s life force entered Oscar(because we do see Vigo start to reform on Oscar). Make Oscar the big bad. The life force has been dormant and slowly but surely it grows and grows. And Maybe Vigo’s life force has some sort of goal besides coming back. Vigo was a sort of sorcerer of his day, right? Well Vigo’s life force uses Oscar to unleash some sort of otherworldly Lovecraftian God being upon the city that defeated him. Oh oh. Ok. I have it:
It’s Oscar who unleashes the ghouls from the containment unit and the kids get blamed for it. Maybe even have Oscar as one of the new GB’s and so it’s like the bad guy is also a Ghostbuster. We don’t suspect Oscar. Could have it where Oscar doesn’t even know he’s doing these things. Vigo’s life force only comes out when Oscar is asleep. Which could lead to a funny Image of a sleeping, dead weight human, being controlled. Almost like how Remy the rat controls Linguini in Ratatouille when he’s asleep. That sequence is very funny. A gifted physical comedian would be needed.
So Vigo isn’t the bad guy really. His semi dormant life force is. That life force wants to unleash a powerful demon upon the world and uses his Moldavian magic to raise Cthulhu or whatever.
I think that could work. We get the best of both worlds. We get the kids back, a new team, New York, some Vigo love, a new villain, Oscar. Damn. I almost wish I could write it.
You've, you've been watching Batman Beyond again haven't you? I like the idea of possessed Oscar but it sounds a lot like Return of the Joker. But yeah, I can get behind that if they have Oscar be the professor at Lucky's college who no one suspects. Meanwhile she's recruiting the Extreme Ghostbusters. Not saying she replaces Kylie, they could still find a way to add her as well.
Again though I really don't want to see the return of Vigo but maybe Peter Mcnicol plays the role of the college dean who's pulling the puppet strings. Maybe have Dr. Janosz Poha change his name so Oscar doesn't recognize him. If they have to take element's from Ghostbusters II it shouldn't be a complete carbon copy. Make Janosz not the big bad but the guy that summons Vigo's boss. Vigo had to have gotten his power from some place.
I doubt that the OG's would have kept tabs on Janoz after the whole Vigo thing. Maybe Janoz took in enough of Vigo's power to become a warlock himself over the years.
