OH MY GOD, I just came up with another theory for Ghostbusters 2020...
What if the lead girl is gonna be the literal reincarnation of Egon?
How did I come to that conclusion? Look at this picture with the girl in it:
Look at those glasses and hair and tell me she doesn’t look like a little girl Egon.
If that was the only thing I had I wouldn’t be making this theory, but check out this description of the girl that I’m not 100% sure is real, but sounds plausible to me:
“The girl is an "insanely smart kid," has a hard time with "interpreting and expressing emotions and speaks with a flat delivery that make her observations humorous", wants to connect with others, struggles with interpreting how her family and friends feel, has difficulty sharing her own feelings, and her science acumen is said to prove invaluable.”
Who does that remind you of?
It’s very odd that this new girl might have basically the same personality as a preexisting character, unless she were supposed to BASICALLY BE the same character.
You’re probably thinking these parallels between her and Egon is more of a metaphorical thing, and you’re probably right. Plus, for the theory to work that would mean Egon died a lot earlier than his actor did which would be depressing.
So if it IS a metaphorical thing, my theory is that these similarities endear her and the other kids to the old team and help bridge the generational gap.
This whole theory is wacky and ridiculously specific, I know, but it got lodged in my brain and I couldn’t get it out. I don’t really want it to happen, though. I’d like the movie to subtly pay homage to Egon/Harold and that’s it. I’ll lose my shit if it does happen!
I might go to Reddit and see what they think of it over there, but I’d love to discuss it here.
