By now you’ve probably seen the trailer for the new Ghostbusters reboot, which triumphantly arrived Thursday morning, drowning out all of the naysayers and pearl-clutching misogynists who think that ladies can’t kick paranormal butt just as well as the dudes. Because save for those small voices, the majority of people seem to be really, really, really excited for the movie, if the reactions on Twitter have been any indication.
Here’s some of what people are already saying:

I'm fine with a female Ghostbusters in theory, but the part where they exterminate the ghost of the patriarchy is a bit on the nose.

nuclear-armed scientists jailing cross-dimensional beings in a dilapidated urban basement? yes, the feds have a regulatory interest there

It’s also quite apparent from the trailer that Kate McKinnon is poised to steal every scene, and everyone is already YASSSS QUEEN’ing her character:
I'm very much looking forward to passing candy to a legion of six-year-old Kate McKinnons this October. #Ghostbusters

I think Ghostbusters has solved your Young Han Solo casting problem, there. https://t.co/f6sZs7OOXB

Of course, there are still a few slimers out there, even though their voices seem to be the weakest:
What's great about the new Ghostbusters is how the producers bought every copy of the old films and burned them just to spite your childhood

Seriously, if you can’t handle an all-female Ghostbusters, just stay home this summer and watch your old VHS copies of the original movie. If Sony doesn’t seize them first, of course.
