As millions of geeks rejoiced upon learning that Disney was considering Chris Pratt as the next Indiana Jones, The Hollywood Reporter dropped another huge bombshell this week that’s bound to be a lot more divisive than the idea of Star-Lord in a fedora: The all-female Ghostbusters reboot has a cast.

I’m not at all against this casting (half of which we could have guessed months ago), but I still can’t shake the feeling that this reboot is fueled by a gimmick. Yes, I’m accusing a remake of a comedy about a team of ghost exterminators as being “gimmicky.”
