The first trailer was poorly received, a lot to do with the female cast, a lot to do with the CG style, a lot to do with it not being Ghostbusters 3. Cast fires back calling those who didn't like it sexist and basement dwelling nerds and then it really went south. And then they gave us the Fallout Boy song and by then the shit had made its final pass before going down the drain.

I still haven't seen it yet but it's on STARZ so I'll catch it eventually.

my favorite is that in response to all the negativity about the female cast and claims of SJW agenda, they released another trailer that had even MORE dumb female / SJW jokes in it, and those jokes didn't even make any sense.

what jokes didnt make sense?

The one that stands out in my mind from the "improved" trailer is when they're jumping off the stage at a concert venue and the audience catches one woman but not the second woman. And she asks "Is it because I'm a woman or because I'm black", but it's A) a crappy joke and B) nonsensical because they obviously just caught a woman so why would they care if she's a woman? Also I don't think most normal people in 2017 in America would watch a scene of someone jumping into a crowd and the crowd not catching that person and then automatically assume it was because of the character's gender. I mean the trailer was highly indicative of the fact that there basically was no writing to the movie, it was just "ok this is a loud character and this is a tough character and this is the prissy character who doesn't want to break her nails".

The cast and crew's reactions to the internet hate just further cemented this. Instead of releasing a competent trailer that showed some other aspects of the movie that people might not complain about, they basically just did what your generic run of the mill internet troll would do and just kept posting more of the same.
