[[folder:Why dance?]]
* Rowan uses Kevin as a host and tests his powers on a battalion of soldiers, making them... do a dance. What is this, ''The Mask''? Why would a MisanthropeSupreme like Rowan, who hates humanity, not use his powers to make the soldiers kill each other or go murder everyone in the vicinity? Granted, it would probably be too dark for the film's audience, but it just makes Rowan look like a weird goofball rather than the deranged maniac that he is.
** Not necessarily: Rowan's chief motivation for his misanthropy seems to be that he feels deeply disrespected and snubbed by the rest of humanity. Could be he'd rather ''humiliate'' his enemies than kill them, given that he's unafraid of death and considered being treated like a nobody too horrible to endure.

** Think of it as a more recently-dated version of how ''Ghostbusters II'' had the ''Titanic'' arrive at the NYC docks. Rowan brought back ghostly replicas of all sorts of Times Square structures and period-items that no longer exist, same as a replica of the ship turned up despite the original being broken apart on the Atlantic seabed.

** Possibly because ''Extreme Ghostbusters'' was too indelibly associated with the one original Ghostbuster they '''[[ActorExistenceFailure couldn't]]''' bring back for the new film. Aykroyd may have felt it'd be wrong to supplant Ramis's most-loved character like that. Note that none of the women in the Reboot is a close DistaffCounterpart to Egon, personality-wise.

** Based on what the old and new movies tell us about ghosts v proton packs here is the best guess as to what's happening. Ghosts are made of particles with a negative charge globbed together in a semiorgnaized and potentially intelligent mass. The proton packs restrain ghosts by trapping them in a field of positively charged particles which they can't pass through and are constrained by. At least on paper you could simply crank up the charged particle count and shoot it into the ghost to neutralize the charge which would render both the blast and the ghost dispersed. The OG ghost busters tinkered with such tech as well but discover that eventually ghost can't be outright destroyed in this fashion, just dispersed as loose traces of energy that eventually coalesce back into a ghost and notably not always the same ghost. Dispersing several at once without trapping them runs the risk of the remains merging into one much bigger meaner ghost which is why the originals didn't employ that tech very often.

** It's just parallel development. Different universe, but more or less the same stuff gets produced. It's a reboot, go with it.
