This is just not how the general public -- the demographic any movie, even a sequel, will always be aiming for first and foremost -- thinks about these things. (And you should consider how much your anecdotal evidence might be deferentially swayed given how evident it is even in text how strongly you feel about it -- people who aren't as invested but agree the reboot sucked probably aren't gonna want to argue with you.)

Heck I’d almost recommend calling it “Ghostbusters 3: This Movie Has Nothing To Do With The 2016 Ghostbusters Film”.Uh huh. Exactly why I'm opposed to it. It's nothing but bitterness. Not everyone feels the way you do about the reboot, even people who didn't like it -- I imagine the vast majority of dissenters across the general public don't even think about it at all -- maybe, "that was bad" when they see the Blu-ray in a store or something.
I don’t know. Maybe a small part of me wants that “3” in the title for selfish reasons. I think a part of me wants that “3” in there just so I can look up & say “we did it. This is real. It’s happening. See? Even the title says so.
