Ghostbusters Afterlife was a good story continuing the franchise. Unfortunately although Frozen Empire first half is very good, but all of a sudden the story quality drops. For the first time ghosts can talk as a very whack plot device. A daemon trapped in a ball blackmails a Casper-like teenager ghost into trick the smart character into using an absurd functionality existing just for plot convenience. The relationship between Casper-like ghost and Phoebe does not develop enough, causing that Phoebe is portrayed as a gullible fool. The movie loses rhythm in this moment, and it does not recover from it.

Ghosts don't talk, that is why Eagon couldn't, right? A machine to extract the ghost of a living human, really? Completely unnecessary.

Don't get me started with the "master of fire" thing... Really whacky and lazy storytelling.
