Idea for a Ghostbusters Crossover “Cinematic” Universe
Alright so, I’ve been mulling over the idea for a while for a fan fiction universe involving the Ghostbusters, because they’re ripe for such takings.
Here are a few rules:
Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II are cannon. (Technically, Ghostbusters: Afterlife is as well, but with the additional stuff, it’ll change things)
Ghostbusters: The Video Game is cannon
The events in the IDW comics are cannon, meaning that the crossovers both with the TMNT and within their own franchise are cannon as well.
Some aspects of the Ghostbusters Fan Film Cinematic Universe are cannon. Like the film “Return of the Ghostbusters”, or whichever one is the one where they’re in Denver (I think it’s Denver) and they stop a Egyptian Professor who uses the living souls to power his amulet, by stealing the GBs traps.
Now within this fan fictional universe is the various franchises that will exist within their world. Which shows/movies should exist within this world?
Danny Phantom: With the world of ghosts existing, and the events of the Shandor Incident of 1991, if anyone knows the existing ghosts and their world, it would be the Ghostbusters
Miraculous: The Adventures of Ladybug and Chat Noir: Magic and Science in the same world. Add in Paranormal Investigators, and it should lead to an epic team-up with the Miraculous Team and the Ghostbusters
Invader Zim: If anyone was to argue with Dib’s dad about the paranormal and supernatural, it would be scientist who are legit, like the GBs.
Disney’s The Owl House: What if Jacob from the Gravesfield Historical Society ended up being friends with someone that didn’t do what he did in the series? What if he became a Ghostbuster with said friend, using the museum as the main HQ? What if they had the technology to create a portal without the problems of S1 Finale, but synchronicity or finding the home co-ordinates required the events of “Yesterday’s Lie.
By addition in realization, that means that Gravity Falls (unconfirmed), and Anphibia (confirmed) exists in the same world as Owl House.
At this time, I am working on the draft for Ghostbusters of Amity Park and hoping for the best.
UPDATE: I want to remind people that Ghostbusters: Afterlife is going to be cannon in this collection of fan fiction (I kinda forgot to make an addition to this about it), but there will be a few alterations to the previous story.
Yes, Egon will still die in the story. Yes, he will still be a ghost.
There are some more character development that will happen within the story itself, from those that thought that the teenage characters didn’t have enough chemistry
The town that was built by Shandor will have something additional for the conflict to seem MORE legitimate.
Lucky will have ties to the town
That’s all I will tell without giving anything away, b/c the stories will build up to the events of GB: Afterlife. Wish me luck.
Something to continue, I thought I would add The Blair Witch Project to the roster of places that the Ghostbusters had franchised to.
Y’see, I recall a few people not being all to happy with Blair Witch (2013) or the 1998 film, The Blair Witch Project II: Book of Shadows. And I thought, wouldn’t it be funny if the GBs helped solve a few mysteries, like the missing people from 1996, the effected people from 1998 or the recent crew that went into the woods in 2013?
This led to a few ideas, from how the GBs of Burkittsville would solve the case involving the people from the case of 1998. This would then follow with events in 2013, when the brother of the main protagonist from the first film, is wanting to go back into the woods. After the GBs convince him to not go in there alone, they follow to find out the odd truth, especially since time in the forrest is… weird.
Anyways, that’s a rough idea for what I got.
