Chris Hemsworth played one of the protagonists I recall.

Ya but in the first ghostbusters the receptionist was a female, while the 4 men were the heroes. Now both those things were reversed.

You got some guy as the receptionist while the 4 female heroes go out and save the day, from a white villain who they defeat. This movie is anti men , and pro woman. It's anti -white, pro minority.

Not that I have a problem with it, it is what it is.

So now all the male characters are either passive or a villain, and all the heroes are either a white female or minority female.

Not that I got a problem with it, it seems agenda to me, lol. Am I wrong?

Yes, you are wrong unless you also want to make the point that the original film had an even more sinister agenda by casting three white guys in the lead roles while the women are either the receptionist or a helpless victim who needs male ghostbusters to rescue her - and I am sure that WAS the case although unconsciously.

Your whole thread has an agenda, namely white male supremacy, one of the key pillars of conservatism. The method consists of whining about how white males are being hurt whenever women or minorities get major movie roles and awards. According to the right-wing extremists, white male actors are somehow being disenfranchised if women or African-Americans get leads or awards. That argument makes no sense unless seen in the context of conservative Old White Men rule.

There is no legitimate reason to consider a gender-switching remake (or African-American themed movies) to be in any way subversive unless conservative white male supremacy is made the major issue.
