In Defense of the Stay Puft Mini Marshmallow Men
I feel as though I have to tell you…those mini-pufts are very on brand for the ‘Ghostbusters’ franchise.
Seriously, Film Twitter? This is what we’re going to gripe about today? Hot off of the “can horror films be set in space?” discourse, we’re going to fight about Mr. Stay Puft?!?!
I mean, I get it. You grumpy movie fans need something to bitch about, and today, a harmless clip of Paul Rudd encountering mini marshmallow men surfaced. Grab the torches and pitchforks.
Damn, the mini-pufts beat you to the punch.
Seriously, though. Seriously? For real? Are you being serious?
I’m sorry, I know I’m saying “serious” a lot. I hate to break it to you guys, but…
The Ghostbusters franchise is for kids. It always has been. It was a hot Halloween costume in the ’80s. Just ask the Stranger Things kids. Or any grown ups that actually grew up in the ’80s. The licensing for toys and costumes and Ecto-Coolers have always been there. Hell, I have plenty of Ghostbusters memorabilia, and I wasn’t even born until after…
