Sure they can. No one says you need to compare it to the original, just judge it by itself. Parents don't judge a second child in comparison to the first, they look at the child by who he/she is.

Well, that's without all the equipment on, too. We'll see how everything looks once they're locked and loaded.
Also, the moment I saw Kate I thought Egon, too. I love it.

Except for the orange stripes, everything looks perfect.
I particularly like how each one has their own pose to (presumably) match their personality (Leslie Jones' "badass" look is certainly no surprise 
).

"Savin' the Day" is playing in my head right now.
The only thing that stops me from getting hot or cold for this, is that I only know Melissa McCharty from anything really. The rest of the team, are unknowns to me. I IMDB'd them, but I've never seen any of them in anything.
I asume they're pretty big in the US, but being from the Netherlands, I don't know any of them. And McCarthy is really only know thanks to Mike And Molly, which aired on a network here for a while. I doubt most people in the Netherlands will know of her.
So, it makes me wonder if the cast in well known internationally. This can be both a blessing and a curse. Some people might be attracted to the name Ghostbusters, and think yeah I'm gonna check this out. Others might not like the concept of Ghostbusters without a familiar name and not wanna try it. Perhaps this is why they cast names like Chris Hemsworth and Andy Garcia?
Kinda of a pity really, since I really want people to judge this NOT as a Ghostbusters remake/reboot, but watch it just as they did with the first Ghostbusters; as something they've never seen before, and judge it accordingly.

I just came acros this quote from one of the writers for joblo.com, where I get most of my film-news and rumours from. And it's a great way of thinking for this movie.

I also only know McCarthy, so...
Heh. I had the same thought.
I'm still on the fence. Not bowled over or anything. Looks... "okay" I guess. But hard to really make any judgments off photo-ops and pictures of the car and equipment. And, the McCarthy factor will be a big hurdle for me.

If they're doing a gender lift situation, I have no interest in it.
If it's completely new characters with a different group inspired by the original characters, then i have no problems with it at all.

I imagine it's the latter. Some of the archetypes might somewhat line up but I doubt it's 1:1.

Probably just enough to give you that feeling of nostalgia, without retreading over too much of the same ground. I am really looking forward to this movie.
If the IMDb is to be believed, then it's the latter:
Melissa McCarthy - Abby Bergman
Kate McKinnon - Jillian Holtzmann
Kristen Wiig - Erin Gabler
Leslie Jones - Patty Tolan
I also like the pic with them in uniform with the proton packs in front of the Ecto-1.
If they have one character who's more of a scientist, another that's way too into the whole thing, one that's just there for the money, and another who is a sarcastic semi-asshole, is that a direct copy and paste? Or are those just archetypes?
Just noticed that Ecto 1 carries stripes like the uniform (or vice versa).
