Poll Pixels (2015) vs. Ghostbusters (2016) (39 votes)
So, I finally got around to watching both movies, and I noticed something. One, neither were as bad as I thought they'd be, with Ghostbusters not being as horrid as the hypd led it on to be, and Pixels not being as bad as Adam's past fails. But the second thing I saw was the fact that they both have some eerie similarities...not saying are clones of one another, or that one was copying the other. I just noticed a weird series of shared traits...
Both movies follow a enemy who wants to destroy the world by releasing army of heavily (CG) paranormal/supernatural entities onto our planet. A team of four comedically silly protagonist, who are the only ones who know/understand/are skilled in what's going on. No know believes them, or wants to believe them at first. But, they have to convince everyone, before the said enemies arrive in a large climactic battle where a giant horde of them are released from a portal in the sky, to wreak havoc on the city. The cities authorities can't handle the threat, and are comedically done away with, as the heroes fight off the horde with plasma weaponry, before face a large final boss. Also, both a made by Sony and are based off of highly loved properties of the 1980s.....
I'm sure I'm looking too deep into this, and most of the similarities may be average story tropes. But, it just seems so identical, lol...so, which do tou dudes like more and do you see the similarities?.....also, I don't know if this has been done before...
