#GB Walter Peck

[not-mary-sue]

So we all agree Phoebe punched Peck straight in the face during that hard cut, yes?

(I will explain roles/dynamics at some point soon, I swear, but my main note is that the key aspects of the characters' personalities remain consistent with canon and so changes have been made to the narrative to fit better)

Hello I’ve seen you have a strong dislike for frozen empire is there anything you do like about that movie? So yes what

Frozen Empire? What's that, a new Dairy Queen flavor?

Alright, I'm joking. There are a few things from the movie I did like:

1- Slimer! This is the best he's ever looked in live action. The puppet design and use of CGI was spot on. I also appreciate that they kept him morally neutral. Yes, he's a nuisance, but he still helped in the final battle when he ate that pesky possessor! To me, that's the perfect Slimer. Only downside is we didn't get to see him interact with Phoebe, which I would have preferred over Trevor.

2- Walter Peck as the new Mayor of New York is genius. He's as annoying and uptight as ever, but now he's in a higher position of power and acts as a bigger obstacle for the Ghostbusters. Similar to Slimer, I like that he's kept morally grey. As mean as he is, Walter does have a point about the Ghostbusters being dangerous. I like how Winston was still able to pressure him into supporting them at the end though. It's not the same as Walter's portrayal in the IDW comics but it works as it's own thing.

3- The scene where Winston and Ray have their argument is one that I gained more appreciation for when one of my friends talked about it. It was a great exploration of their relationship and how they both responded differently to change and getting older.

4- There's a few sweet moments between the kids. If I remember right, Lucky briefly gives Podcast a little side hug when they go to visit the lab for the first time, and Podcast hugs Phoebe when she returns to the firehouse before the final battle.

5- Phoebe telling jokes at the beginning and coming up with the idea to upgrade her pack with brass at the end were the only times where I felt she behaved in character.

... And that's all I've got!

Hi, I'm Oliver, and this is my new Ghostbusters refuge blog. I created this so I could reblog an increasing amount of Ghostbusters-related stuff without cluttering my main account.

Currently, I've consumed bits and pieces of GBs media. I know the main franchise well enough and am occasionally dabbling in the other related media.

I don't have a specific DNI (as I tend to just block people if they bother me significantly). Mostly, I'm just here to chat about things as they catch my fancy!

My main is @ollierachnid

My AO3 is also ollierachnid

The art tag I'll use here is 'olliearts' in case you want to look at anything I made in particular. Most other tags will be self-explanatory

I've seen all 4 main franchise films, though I haven't seen 'Answer The Call' yet. I've also played the 2009 videogame a lot and perceive it as canon. I've read smatterings of the IDW comics' first run. Haven't seen RGB either.

I'm a Walter Peck apologist / defence lawyer. He's my favourite. He sucks.

I don't particularly have biases... but my favourites GBs are Winston and Peter. I'm keen on Phoebe, Callie, and the Rookie too.

I love Dana, Ilyssa, and any other woman who has fallen prey to whatever Peter is up to. I think they're both rife with untapped potential. Mwah...

heard people talking shit about Walter Peck and I think the veteran tumblr GB community needs to rise up for Frozen Empire and rep him

Underneath that suit he actually bosts quite a toned figure, given how labour-intensive being a Buster can be sometimes. He’s not ripped per se but there’s a faint outline of abs there. Only faint. His smile, too - he hardly ever smiles so it’s a treat when those lips of his curl.

𝐋𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐖𝐎 … the inside

𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫��. Failure. Watching those he cares about getting hurt/killed. Never finding out the answers to the questions he has about his mortality. 𝐛𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐯𝐞. Ignorance. Treating the GB equipment as toys. Someone being stubborn with him even though he’s just as, if not even more stubborn. Eating his snacks without his explicit permission. Touching anything in the lab without his explicit permission. Touching Ecto-1 without his explicit permission. 𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞. To help others. To keep the world safe. To find a way to move on completely from one or two elements of his past.

𝐋𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐄𝐄 … thoughts

𝐋𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐎𝐔𝐑 … what’s better

If this was a universe that included the Ghostbusters, and they were franchising, Gotham would’ve had them there, interfearing with League of Shadows businesss. But it’s a bit of a surprise that Bruce decides to call them.

GB1: Ghostbusters: Gotham Division. We’re Ready to Believe You! How can we help?

Bruce: Uh, yes. I’m in need of help dealing with something called liminals.

From there, the Ghostbusters arrive and give a physical examination to the students and Bruce’s kids as well as Bruce, Alfred, and Mrs. Clark. From there, one of them pulls out a lab coat and starts teaching both the adults and kids about ecto-biology and the concept of liminals. This surprises everyone, as they didn’t think that the GBs were scientists.

GB1: Now, anyone know about the dimensions where the ghosts come from?

Danny: *raises hand* The Infinite Realms

GB1: That is but one of them in all honesty. The Infinite Realms is a nexus reality, were all possible worlds can exist, as well as doorways to other worlds.

GB2: *Checking over Jason* Jack, this young man’s ectoplasm is tainted.

GB1: Really Dr. Bones?

Jason: Well, I was reborn in the Lazarus Pit

*All four Ghostbusters look in shock.*

GB1: Were you involved with the League of Shadows?

Bruce: Why, what do you know?

This could lead to the Ghostbusters helping in legal affairs dealing with GIW, since they have 1) Walter Peck of P-COC (Paranormal Contracts Oversight Committee), and 2) they end up getting the Batman and later the Justice League involved with the Anti-Ecto laws.

Other ideas involved include:

Jason having his ectoplasm purified using various methods, which calms his core.

The discovery of their scientific equipment, which is meant to capture and contain the ghosts, not destroy them (as it would break the laws of thermodynamics, as they claim)

A brief moment of battle between the GIW and the Ghostbusters.

Short DPXDC Prompts #744

Jason doesn’t want to bring Lancer anywhere near his nightlife and Lancer is perfectly fine with that. Lancer manages to convince Jason into some martial arts and combat training to defend his students if need be. It’s pretty concerning how often he has to use said training.

peck fans... peck fans talk to me

[ur-battdoll911]

as i said, i would wrigght about this when i finally watched Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. well shit, GUESS WHAT I DID- anyways, 10/10, its now convincced me that Phoebe should be lesbian, that Walter Peck is just a hater, and that we LOVE getting arrested every movie, goddammit. now here is the thing; there is this ghost named Melody, who i thought was played by Jenna Ortega, but no, it was Emily something. but im sorry, the TENSION between Phoebe and Melody was crazy, like, please kiss man, yall woulld be great. and, they could, BECAUSE in Afterrlife we see Cali hugging Egon who was a damn ghost. so, physical contact between humans and ghosts are real, so these two missed the chance to become the best ship ive ever seen. anyways, i love the refrences to some movies and scenes yyou can see sometimes, and i lovve the ending holy shit. the colors contratsed with the blue and red, it looked good, Annie Potts is still a ledgend.... and i do believe i saw that Dan and Harold wrote this, so maybe there was gonna be this made in like, 1990s or something, that woulda been kinda ccool, and apparently, Ivan died, so, RIP man, you did good. plus, Phoebe is a sassy ass bitch who ate the whole movie like, girl, you are actually my bestie now. and i LOVE the possesor, how he was wanting to play but then he was told no, but was also told if he behaved he would get a tennis ball, which is sweet. although i wish we got to see Egon as a ghost again, i dunno, dident seem like a Gb movie without him :/. i should shut up, im spoiling it all, BUT I HAVETA get it all out, but ill shut up now. Byeeee~!

time to ramble yall

rewatched all of the Ghostbusters, so its time for a ramble about it :D

first of all, they ate makeing that movie holy shit, and we get a new one soon as well. so me being me, iim gonna find refrences to the old movies and afterlife. first of all, i feel like Winston is underated, give him more love. Peter is mid, but sometimes makes me a bit pissed for being a big flirt to pretty much every woman that we've seen, but over all hes a good character. Ray is actually a cchild, omg i love this man he is goofy and smart so hes one of my favorites, and finally theres Egon, and honestly, i dont think anyone ever talks about iit, but he is pretty much everyones favorite, and i feel like as we go on, he seems to have the most character development. in the first movie, he dosent show much emotion, but in the second one we see him smiling and sometimes makeing a joke. and then later on we relize he had a damn family, and now he acts like a father, protecting his children and the world from gozer, even when dead. and i feel like i be paying a bit to much attention, but Egon sorta limps when running, which makes since cause his actor Harold Ramis (RIP D:) was 39 when filming. anywho, i feel like these might be my favorie movie series that have gone on since 1984 to 2024, and its always well done. not the 2016 one. we dont talk about that one. this will happen again after i watch Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.

Actually, someone reported that they couldn’t find your head. But we found it; it was up your butt. You live in a firehouse, you should know how to treat that burn.

Walter Peck

[ecandjamesvpjournal]

On top of that, they would probably be buried under paperwork for not following procedure that the GBs usually follow… to a certain degree.

If you haven’t read the comics or play the game, it takes place 2 years after GB 2 and has all of the original guys there. It’s great. Even has the guy who played Walter Peck appear in the series.

Recommend both the game and the comics if you can get them.

The Drs Fenton face a lawsuit about theft of intellectual property and other related things.

The charge? They copied ideas from Dr. Egon Spengler’s work he released in the 80ies. Sometimes they even copied entire paragraphs, before twisting his ideas to fit their own hypothesis without providing own proof how they reached their conclusions.

[bixiebeet]

Just reflecting on my favorite ship again…maybe it is more supported by canon materials than I thought…!

I was always disappointed that the Egon-Janine subplot was discarded in Ghostbusters 2. But I started thinking about the franchise timeline, particularly anchored by GB: The Video Game (2009). It’s the last GB property to feature voice work by all four of the original team. It also has Janine, Walter Peck, and Mayor Mulligan from GB2. Dan Aykroyd called the game “essentially the third movie,” and he and Harold Ramis helped write the dialogue and shape the story.

The video game is set in 1991. Rick Moranis declined to return to voice Louis Tully. (Moranis largely retired from acting, and he has only taken select roles since the 1990s.) Recall that Louis was the team’s lawyer/accountant in GB2. Some accounts say that he has a desk piled with papers in the video game, other accounts say that he’s supposedly in different cities scouting GB franchise locations. Bottomline, Louis isn’t in the game. (Neither is Dana, but she wouldn’t have been as integral to see in the firehouse as Louis, who worked with the team.)

Back to my favorite ship…the Egon-Janine romance was referenced in the GB cartoons in the 80s and 90s. Moreover, the IDW comics apparently say that Louis and Janine dated but broke up around 1992. And we have the (probably) canonical video game showing that Janine is still with the team in 1991 while Louis is nowhere to be found.

Soooo maybe this is wishful thinking, but here’s my theory. Louis is an unexpected ladies’ man of sorts. He got with Dana in GB1 (as the key master, but still…) He got with Janine in GB2, but it was just a fling while Egon was oblivious to her flirtation. By the early 90s, Louis was probably onto his next conquest! Just as Dana and Peter found their way back together (judging from Afterlife), I think Egon and Janine eventually worked things out. The road to love can be rocky, but Egon and Janine were meant to be together in the end.
