But whether or not one likes the movie, it doesn't detract from the originals. Just like you said. The original doesn't disappear.
There's one thing that really frustrates me about the re-boot.

It clearly exists in the same universe as the original ghostbusters yet completely ignores the fact that they were ever a thing.

Couldn't there have been something of a joint re-boot/sequel? That would've been pretty interesting to me. It doesn't have to be a 'where are they now' episode focusing on Venkman and Spangler or anything, but if you're going to try to say that the movie is in some way paying homage to the classic, shouldn't there at least be some kind of through-put that's more than just ham-fisted cameos?
