They shot him in the dick, or at least where it should have been.

And this brings me to another major flaw in the movie: the villain. Honestly, he may be the single worst villain ever in a comedy. All he is is a tool who people pick on, and therefore wants to destroy the world. Seriously, he spells out his entire motive to the audience in the mirror. It's pure shite writing. On top of that, he's a janitor, so how did have the ability to build all that stuff in the basement of a hotel on Times Square? Seems that would come off as suspicious that he arrives at work with tons of scientific supplies and isn't cleaning the damn rooms.

We all know what this is about: it is making fun of the Ghostbusters fanbase by calling them all a bunch of pathetic manchildren who need to go frick themselves. It's apparently good to have contempt for your audience before it even gets out of the gate. If you're going to go this route, at least make him some megafan of the Ghostbusters who had rejected him in the past ie Syndrome from the Incredibles. But oh wait, instead of actually paying homage to the original, you just completely reboot it and say you're the real Ghostbusters, not the hacks from that 80s flick.

Can anyone list a worse villain in a main stream comedy?
